Reviews Summary
New China Restaurant is a long-standing favorite in Ketchikan, praised for its consistently good Cantonese and other Chinese dishes, generous portions, and friendly service. While many enjoy the authentic flavors and value, some recent reviews highlight concerns about pricing for smaller items and a less-than-ideal experience with specific Thai dishes.
"Went to a local card/hobby story and they suggested this place for good Chinese food. Came out quick, had large portions. Tasted very good. If I wasn't on a cruise, I would have liked to try more of the menu."

"Supposedly "Thai green curry beef". Thick and stodgy chicken gravy with extra oil and chili powder. Mostly bamboo shoots. Sweet pineapple bits were totally out of place. Weird chemically softened beef.
$21. No resemblance to any green curry I've ever had."

"As a former crew member and a person who's originally from China, I am warning everyone -DON'T GO!!
This place is a total RIP OFF. We ordered some soup( tastes bad) and asked for a small bowl of rice, the server brought it without telling us the price. Later we got charged 8 dollars for that bowl of rice.
I even tried to confirm when I saw the bill. I said "just to confirm the rice is 8 dollars?" The Lady was SUPER grumpy, she just said "yes" with a bad looking on her face.
I understand Alaska is away from the mainland US and everything is shipped here. However we are still in the States, a behavior like this is not acceptable - not telling the customer the price of food ahead and charge ppl ridiculous price, also with bad attitude and no customer service at all.
I don't often leave a bad review but this one is absolutely bad! I used to come here when I was a crew 10 years ago, don't know if things have changed but Ha. They are not practicing a good business behavior."
