We dined at this lovely restaurant on Saturday evening 9th March. Food and service were wonderful. The only thing that let it down was that the food was not as hot as it should have been, and the plates were cold as well. It's such a shame, a rookie error that spoilt a really good experience.

Heard only good things about the place, they must have all been wrong. Terrible from start to finish. Drink orders taken and eventually we recieved them, ordered a set menu and one extra dish, starters came out fast which would have been a good thing if they weren’t all tasteless, bland and uninspired, plates were cleared and then began the long wait for mains, just before we were ready to give up hope and ask if there’s any danger of us receiving more food it arrived, but we really wish it didn’t. More bland tasteless meat and veg , the chow mein was one of the worst looking meals my eyes have had the displeasure of seeing. The “Chicken” was strangely moist and shiny and looked like large pieces of onion. It’s a remarkable achievement to make so much food and ingredients taste of absolutely nothing and the final kick in the teeth was the cost , charging as if it’s fine dining when in reality calling it Mediocre would flatter the place. Best advice would be go anywhere else you can find.

Great value and quality food.

Just had a take away and it must rate as the worst ever, such a shame as we had a similar order 5 days ago which was excellent. It seems that quality control is absent, but honestly today was diabolical almost inedible

It was a pleasure eat at the best Chinese restaurant in town.

When we first came to Newark, this was “The” restaurant to eat at. Sadly , not now- noisy, often children running amok, and our food was cold, and horrible, as though it had been cooked days before, then kept in the fridge. Before Covid, we employed a student from the violin school who worked part time here. She said the restaurant is very popular with the traveller community, and because of this, appears to have become extremely busy, but less focused on its once excellent food and service. Our employee found working here a tough call, with challenging hours, and often rude customers. She finally left after watching a girl quite happily, and openly wipe her mouth, several times, on the tablecloth !!.

My husband and I had a great Sunday meal at the New King Wah. Both meals were really delicious, rich in flavours and textures. The coconut ice cream dessert was super delicious too with pure coconut chips on the top followed by a special jasmine digestive tea. The waitress was very polite and sweet. However, unexpectedly, I forgot my expensive bag with my pair of glasses, make-up and wallet wih very important documents and cards. The next day I received a phone call from the owner, who by the way, was very respectful and attentive when we were in the restaurant, saying that he had found my bag and kept it for me. Super professional and caring! We are loyal clients now. :-)

What a shame, people used to come to this restaurant from miles around, gone down hill dramatically. Food had been nuked in a microwave, no napkins, cheap laminated menus and waitresses do not know what the food is you’re ordering, they only know by the number on the menu. Not be long before it’s an all you can eat, that’s if it last that long. They still want to charge top dollar for microwaved food
Incredible from start to finish, highly recommend this restaurant.

Waitresses weren’t able to provide information about the menu, we had to chase up part of our order, food was average especially the sharing starter.The vermicelli Singapore style was a winner though and would recommend this if you are going and the price is very responsible.

What has happened?! Was great and now terrible in all aspects. All of the fried food was greasy and soggy. Things that we have been having for years have been redesigned and are not as tasty as before. Add the HUGE increase in price and reduced portion size it is now an avoid from us!

Waste of time and money.Taken the wrong order, bad customer service. Too salty food. There are lot more better restaurants around them. Overpriced for the quality of food. Think twice before start placing your order.
