I hadn't eaten from New China Hut in a long time but I was downtown and Chinese sounded good so I placed an order for the Empress Chicken dinner but paid a little extra to substitute a combination fried rice for the chicken fried rice. The empress chicken and fried rice were really good with generous portions for both as well as a good mixture of shrimp, beef, chicken and pork in the rice. I've had better egg rolls though and wasn't a fan of the sweet and sour dipping sauce that came in a cup with the meal. It was just a little too sweet for my taste. The meal was good overall and the takeout order was prepared really fast. The staff were nice on the phone and when I was picking up my order, but at a cost of $20 I will probably consider going to other places next time I'm in the mood for Chinese takeout.

We order from here at least once every 1-2 months. We have 5 adults and 3 kids so we usually order 7 entrees. The food is amazing delicious EVERY time. Large portions. Fabulous seasoning. I don't know what other people are talking about. All I know is we drive from Sugar grove to pick up food here. The salt and pepper shrimp, orange chicken, sesame chicken, and house lo mien, shrimp fried rice, egg drop soup - all of it was delicious. Only thing I'm missing is the wonton strips for my egg drop soup and my 5yo granddaughter was disappointed that we didn't get fortune cookies. (Her dad told her she'd get over it. I agree ) We will

Oh my lawd! Today I tried the " spicy chicken with pepper and garlic sauce, lo mein". It's so freaking good! Spicy and flavorful. I walked over, placed the order, and a few minutes later I had a delicious lunch to bring home. Service was fast and perfect for my work from home day. The lunch special comes with an egg roll and fortune cookie. Family friendly atmosphere. John is always pleasant at the register. He knows everyone and their usual orders. Highly recommend!

Better than expected. It has gotten a lot of bad reviews but the last time it turned out fairly okay. New China Hut has a few locations and this one is in Aurora on River Street. Has pretty typical Chinese restaurant items. The menu also has a few vegetarian friendly choices including tofu. Came in recently to get carryout. It seems like it gets most business this way as there's never anyone inside. They seem to prefer this. A lot of times we came by the inside is closed. There's only a couple of inside tables. I ordered the Kung Pao Tofu at lunch. It's $11.35 for the only portion. This is one of the few vegetarian friendly choices here, and the only with tofu and not just vegetables. It only comes in the one size, as large. This has green peppers, mushrooms, onions, pea pods, and peanuts in a spicy Szechuan sauce. After eating it, both of us agreed it was much better than expected. The freshness others had problems from wasn't an issue. Good lunch meals at least the last time we came here. It has basic typical Chinese stuff and just a few vegetarian friendly options. This place has inside seating but mostly is takeout.
