THEY CLAIM TO BE UNDER NEW OWNERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT
WAS NOT ABLE TO FIND NEW CHINA KING WHEN I SEARCHED ON URBAN SPOON
I should learn my lesson by now and just stick to what I know is good. There were a bunch of flyers for a new restaurant by my apartment door so I grabbed one. Since I am always willing to try a new place I called and placed an order that sampled a little bit of everything. The woman on the phone was very nice and the ordering process was very easy.
The delivery arrived about 45 minutes later and I was excited to try food from what I thought was a new Chinese restaurant. I really should have looked online before just blindly ordering.
When I unpacked the bag I noticed that they forgot to put any sauces in the bag. Strike one! I took out one of the shrimp egg rolls and noticed that it was very small. it was the size that most Chinese buffets serve which is at least a third smaller than a normal sized egg roll. I had a problem with this because their egg rolls were 15 cents more than the full size egg rolls I get from my fave place. Another strike! Not only was the size disappointing but in the entire egg roll there were 2 pieces, not whole shrimp mind you, but two half pieces of shrimp. Strike 3! Okay, so I said well I will try the other stuff maybe it was just one that didn't get much shrimp in it. Next I opened my General Tso's chicken and it was swimming in an overly sweet liquidy sauce which I specifically requested be put in a container on the side so that the chicken pieces wouldn't get soggy. You guessed it...strike! The roast pork and broccoli was pretty good except for the sauce also being on the thin side. Good flavor though. My shrimp egg foo young was another disaster. It only contained a few whole shrimp and I was picking out shrimp shells as I ate it. That turned me off so bad I ended up throwing the third piece in the garbage.
So I looked online and found out that the name of the restaurant had been changed from Lin Garden to New China King. Their website http://www.lingardenlakewood.com/home-page/ says that they were formally Lin Garden and also down the page a bit it says new owner, new management. If indeed there is a new owner I hope they shape up because I WILL NEVER ORDER FROM OR EAT HERE AGAIN. The more I think about it the more I feel like I was bamboozled. Hey let's just change the name and tell people there's a new owner and manager and maybe they won't notice the same crappy food we made under the old name.
IF YOU WANT REALLY GOOD CHINESE FOOD GO TO PEKING RESTAURANT AT 18198 SLOAN AVE IN LAKEWOOD. BEST CHINESE TAKE-OUT IN LAKEWOOD AND THEY ALWAYS STUFF THE CONTAINERS FULL.
