New South China

Usually decent food — reminds me of the corner Chinese store in the hood. Sadly the delivery driver was rude and inappropriate; he called to tell me he was outside and expected me to come out of my condo and downstairs to his car rather than deliver my food to my door. When I refused a tip, he went apeshit… poor soul.

Very solid Chinese food. Chinese cuisine is not my go to, however my wife has the hankering now and then. The restaurant forgot the toping for the egg foo young on an occasion and they delivered the topping immediately.
I highly recommend the restaurant.

Decent, cheap take-​out Chinese food. Never incredible but always hits the spot.

Went there one time. The taste is so bad, everything are most likely the same, and it’s not chinese food at all. It’s just some food mix and fired together. I’m not going there anymore.

I have never seen a worse place. People are extremely rude, food is bad, and there’s false advertising. I would not recommend to anyone, I hope this restaurant go bankruptcy soon!
I tried to order delivery, on the menu it says $ 10 min, so I ordered something that’s of $ 12ish, they said the min is $ 15. I said well but it says it’s $ 10 min on the menu, they asked me to order more, I was just being hesitant and said well I don’t think I need anything else (I was actually open to order more food just to have it delivered). They hung up on me. The guy was extremely rude.
Then I thought it was the language barrier and I still wanted to order food, so I dialed again. Someone else picked up and I heard the previous guy talk in the background «omg she called again». I ordered the same thing and they agreed to deliver. I politely mentioned that the previous guy was very rude, and this new guy shouted at me «do you wan or not» and hung up.
This is the most ridiculous delivery experience I’ve ever had. I hope no one ever order from your restaurant again!

This is a 4-​star review for a cheap Chinese takeout spot so please take that into account.
However, I had not had Chinese takeout in ages and after seeing my roommate walk in with some I just could restrain myself from making the short walk over to see what it was about.
Some of the reviews I read had me a bit stirred, but I stayed the course and ended up getting the basic General Tso’s chicken with pork fried rice.
I wolfed it down in under 5. It was delicious, in my opinion. It was even better than I expected, and let me tell you, I’ve had some poorly made Chinese in my day. I’m happy I chose to go and check it out because now I have a quick Chinese food spot I can fall back on for a late night when I’m too lazy to to cook or need something to cure the drunchies.
The wait was a bit long as I didn’t go inside, but I don’t imagine there would ever really be a wait for the spot.
Note that I don’t consider Chinese takeout microwaveable so I would highly suggest eating this in one sitting. All in all I’ll find myself eating here again soon. If you want some solid Chinese takeout in Philly you might as well give this place a shot.

2 hours for delivery. Zero customer service, zero communication and mediocre food. Don’t waste your time here.

A ‘drunk food’ type of place…
I ordered the Orange Beef and General Tso’s Chicken and I have to say I couldn’t tell a difference between the sauces. Beef tasted like chicken, chicken like beef… mystery meat? I just wasn’t too entirely impressed.
The fried rice though tasted as fried rice should taste at chinese restaurants.
Probably won’t be calling back anytime soon. If you do want some delicious chinese food, I would say look up FORTUNE CHINESE.

I just called to make a delivery order and I got one combination platter. I thought the price was going to be somewhere around $ 11. As soon as I said «that’s all I want how much will it be,» the lady on the phone screams at me and say NO DELIVERY and hangs up. I called back to simply ask why did you hang up and she screams again and says «WE BUSY NO DELIVERY!!» Then hung up again. Never have I experienced this service before. I need to make a trip to the restaurant and have a professional conversation with this women. How can someone be that rude to a costumer who was friendly back? Never again

Five stars in the context of cheap, neighborhood Chinese joints.
This place is SO MUCH better than the other Chinese places in the area. I won’t name names, but if you go a block or two in any direction, you’ll run into the inferiors.
Best hot and sour soup around, and the best vegetarian entrees outside of su xing house. I love the szechuan chicken too, lots of good veggies instead of the standard fillers.
The fried chicken wings are awesome too.

I’m starting to think that I should stick with one or two dishes. Tonight, I ordered Kung Pao Chicken, interested in seeing how New South China’s rendition would be. Well, I perhaps should not be so adventurous with this place. This was essentially the «Almond Chicken» I ordered before (mentioned in my previous review), but with celery and a slightly different tasting sauce although I can hardly tell what… Okay, it isn’t hard to make a half-​decent Kung Pao Chicken, and yet New South served up by far the worst version. I honestly cannot imagine it getting worse. The reason why? Because it basically was a soup! I ordered a pint of this stuff and after eating I measured out the remaining sauce (some of which I had soaked up in some rice and some of which was eaten during the meal) and it measured to ½ a cup! It was celery and chicken and peanuts floating around in a dark broth that tasted of really nothing but salt, and even then… The peanuts seemed like they were just tossed in without being wok fried, there were no peppers, etc. Okay, there were 5 or so pepper flakes floating around in the soup. I ordered this hot, and I put a note in the delivery saying to make it actually spicy, extra, extra spicy and yet what I got was what I would expect if I ordered mild and put a note saying «extra mild no spices please!»
I’m still keeping this 3 stars for the dishes that are pretty good. But seriously, this kind of stuff is an embarrassment and New South China should feel shame for putting out a product such as this. No wonder the image of Chinese food in America is one of disgusting junk you binge on when you’re drunk. Tasteless, bland, indistinct. A mark of shame on the great culinary legacy that is the food of China.

Not impressed. Spicy orange beef had undetectable amounts of cow (although the citrus tasted fresh and real) Mongolian beef had similiar lack of protein, and excess onions. Chicken skewer appetizer was overly salty and dry. Egg rolls arrived hot & crunchy, but did not redeem order.

Food is Good! Customer Service is Bad/​Awful.
My friend and I placed a dinner order of chinese food earlier today via foodler to be delivered at 4:30pm. Lo and behold it was delivered at 12pm. We called the restaurant and told them their mistake and they told us no problem, keep the food we will deliver the food at the correct time. Well they came at 4:30pm, but wanted us to PAY again. After we explained the mistake the delivery guy left with our food.
When we called the restaurant, all they did was hollar at us that we were trying to steal their food. Never again…

I am so happy that they make a vegetarian egg roll!

Don’t give it a two star rating for not being a fine dining experience. Its Chinese take out! Best general tsos chicken for 5.75

I order from here every once in a while since it’s right around the corner and have never been disappointed. The menu is pretty basic — same old, same old takeout Chinese food. The lunch specials are my favorite! (The L11 with chicken is what’s up!) Workers here are very friendly and delivery usually isn’t a long wait.
If you’re in the market for some quick, inexpensive Chinese food, check this place out!

Went here and got a large chicken fried rice which was ehhh. Bland, mostly rice, unseasoned little strips of chicken, and a little bit of onions, carrots, and peas. Fast and friendly service. But $ 7 for bland fried rice… PASS.

This is my favorite place for takeout Chinese food.
They have a HUGE selection, including an extensive vegetarian selection. Their general tsos tofu (and chicken) are both delicious. The staff is super friendly (they let me bring my dog into the restaurant to pick up my food… that’s a good thing right?), and the food is dirt cheap. Also, they’re always giving me a free soda… I guess if you spend over 10 bucks? I think if you spend over $ 30 they give you a huge portion of general tsos chicken for free.
Although I am moving and won’t be able to get takeout here anymore, I will for sure get their food delivered.

Delicious, convenient and SUPER inexpensive Chinese food. The staff is very friendly and the food’s always ready when I come to pick it up.
I’ve eaten a ton of different dishes here — think chicken and black bean sauce, beef and broccoli, egg rolls, wonton/​egg drop soup, etc. — and have never been disappointed. This isn’t an upscale place, but it doesn’t pretend to be.
If you’re looking for Chinese food without breaking the budget this is definitely a great place to try.

holy crap! food is surprisingly good. chicken fried rice had white chicken strips in it. so I wasn’t afraid to eat it since people like to tell me scary stories about how some restaurants cook cats. Not this joint. the fried tofu in general tsao sauce was yuuum lots of extra sauce. Broccoli was way hard tho. and it’s true about the freebies. (sodas)
the delivery was quick.
I wanna give this 3.5 stars really. But like my height, I round up.
