Used to love their food, but last three times the chicken was rubbery and not good. Hope they turn around!

The best sweet and sour chicken in the area. I love in warminster and I drive over to Jamison. Great Chinese food! Crab and cheese wontons are good too!

The chicken and green beans was gross. The chicken tastes like fish. Even my son that likes fish didn't like it. The chicken lo mein had a mild burnt flavor. The spring rolls tasted like black pepper and had no other flavor. The only thing that the family liked were the fried chicken wings.

They offer lunch specials. The food is reasonably priced and tasty enough. Some dishes are better than others. Great for a quick hot meal.

You can order online from a website that kindly reminds you what it was like on the internet in the 00's, before every millimeter of your screen was optimized and monetized. Things are misspelled (Chicken w/ borcolli; Singapore Rice Noodel) in a way that doesn't interfere with intelligibility, and provides yet another reminder of charm from a past you might not have experienced but can still, if only faintly, remember. Similarly, the interior harkens to a China that likely doesn't exist and never existed, but is convenient for the American perception. A large palm stands tall yet sheds two or three yellow leaves, suggesting that most attention is paid by staff behind the counter, not in front of it. A calendar shows an impossibly skinny Chinese woman looking at you genially. The wallpaper combines shades of jade and a muted yellow which, alongside the mahogany-colored chairs and tables, creates an inviting environment to wait for your food, seemingly on accident (though one can never be too sure).
It's a casual experience from start to finish. It weighs only very lightly on you, and the action causing the most resistance is when you try make a final decision on what you'll be ordering. The prices are cheap--one order of food, for just one person, could feed you for three whole meals. Therefore, this decision has a three day consequence--and don't be fooled by the casual nature of everything, there are definitely wrong choices. Any non-breaded chicken you order will be soggy and formless, and most beef will be similar. However, the spare rib and the breaded chicken (specifically General Tso's) are full of flavor and savory texture, as is the pork-fried rice, as are the eggrolls. The canned sodas from the fridge even taste better than store bought.
The family who owns the place are incredibly kind, even in the face of hardship. I ordered on Christmas Eve when they were absolutely swamped, since no other restaurants in the area were open. In total I waited 2 hours for my food, as did other patrons whom I waited with. We were all given an entire bag of Chinese tea candies as a token of the staff's appreciation, as were handed the bag with a disproportionate amount of glee and genuine cheer. I also live near some of the people who own/work the place, and they are some of the only people in the neighborhood willing to be vulnerable enough to smile and wave as neighbors cross their path. They are caring and patient towards their young children as well, and they work their tails off.
American-Chinese takeout, like most things for sale in today's markets, is both great and terrible for you. The levels of sodium, if consumed everyday, would cause severe inflammation in your body. However, your pockets will be happy that you chose to settle down with a 9 dollar 3000 calorie deal instead of doordashing Popeyes and paying $30 for it. And, most importantly, something in your soul will feel called to, catered to, held, and loved. Food is love, and that is one of the few human universals. New China JAMISON is a method for tapping into this love on an as-needed basis, and offers even more in terms of nostalgia and warmth for those with the minds open to perceive it. I give them 4/5 stars.

Placed order for 5:25 pick up. Got to store on time and paid for order. Its currently 5:55. Food still not ready. I left store and told them to call me when my food is ready.

After they finally called me back, I returned to pick up food. I was in a hurry because this was my second time there tonight. So i didn’t check the bag. Get home and they didn’t put soda i paid for in bag.

Food was soggy and greasy.
