“*****ORDER FOOD WHEN YOU MAKE YOUR RESERVATION****
*****ORDER AHEAD FOR TAKE OUT ABOUT 2 Hours or More*****

Everything in New China is cooked on request, so the food is fresh. Some dishes can take an hour, two, or three hours to prepare. So order your food about one to two hours ahead when you want to pick it up, and they will prepare it for that time so it is hot off the wok.

We love this place. We discovered it earlier this month, in January 2025, and have already been twice as a group of six. We order way too much food to sample, which still comes under $30 per person.

This is the absolute freshest, tastiest Chinese food around. One of our couples has been eating Chinese around the Whittier area for over 30 years, and they were also there for the first time this month. They were jonesing to go back so soon. We still need to try the moo shu pork. I need to order that one 3 hours ahead of time.

One woman does everything out front, and two or three men cook in the back. The last time we arrived, two other couples were dining, and the service was excellent. That night, there was a notice on the door that said no drop-in take-out (see above about ordering ahead). Service can be slower if several groups arrive simultaneously, but the food is well worth it. If you want, you can take your time at this restaurant with a dinner lasting two or three hours and won't be rushed out. It's a great place to go as a group or a couple.“

“Tried for 1st time. Very good. Other local spots need to step up thier prep and cleanliness. This will be my new spot for deli style Chinese food. The other 2 spots in La Mirada are sub par. This is Whittier a little farther from my house but much better. In top 2 for Whittier. New China is #1. I ordered combo B. Half fried rice, half noodles. BbQ pork and a spicy chicken with peanuts. Large portions. Next time I will try a bowl.“

“They have plenty of vegan options“

“You have to take it for what it is. Fast and cheap Chinese food. And it does exactly that. Food was good and it hit the spot. Sometimes you just need some local Chinese food and it's in the neighborhood. Bbq pork and sweet n sour chicken.“

“Great place to eat excellent food“
