Chinese restaurants no longer deliver. You have to use GrubHub or DoorDash. Both companies are horrible. However, New China uses real orange in their Orange Chicken. That's worth it right there.

I'm mostly buying takeout and the food here has always been good, and portions are generous. Employees speak Chinese and the counter help speaks English well.
