I usually order pick-up so I don't know about delivery times. In terms of the food, New Szechaun House offers a few options outside the standard Takeout fare, while still offering all the Americanized specials one comes to expect. The first time I ordered a shrimp dumpling noodle soup and received regular dumplings, the next time I did, they almost made the same mistake until one of the women packing the order realized the chef's mistake and had him correct it. In a neighborhood filled with small, pricey cafés, it's nice to not to have to go all the way to Flushing for a little bit of real Chinese food. F.Y.I., if you're planning to pay by card, they charge a dollar extra, so I suggest you bring cash.
Consistent with the dime a dozen Chinese takeout places throughout the Woodside / Sunnyside hoods, New Szechuan House has done much to distinguish itself from the rest of the pack. The food has been lackluster and mediocre at best, coupled by consistent delivery snafus and botched orders. It's a shame really, I had such high hopes for this place.
The first thing that stood out to me was it's menu. It featured the usual American Chinese suspects (egg foo young with gravy, lo mein anything, etc.) found in virtually any Chinese takeout joint and managed to come across someone who couldn't stop raving about their pork fried rice and egg flower soup. There was a lot more stuff to look at of course, this menu was pretty versatile for a Chinese takeout joint.
Before I subjected myself to such, I noticed there was a few more items on the menu worth digging deeper. Singapore Chow Mein? Wat Dan Ha Yan (shrimp with eggs) and Yangzhou fried rice. Everything was not exactly to my liking, a tad salty with the Singapore noodles, bland Yangzhou fried rice, and a shrimp / egg dish that was loaded with peas, carrots, and onions. While the addition of other condiments might sound appealing, this was no match for other versions of this delicious dish I've had from similar takeout spots.
While the delivery is often times mistake prone and delay heavy, I appreciate their phone manners and overall friendly customer service. This is one thing that keeps me considering further patronage here. A quick fix of the food is one way this place can turn itself around, here's hoping they accomplish this soon.
I desperately wanted to like this place because it's very close to my house and I love a good Chinese take-out place. Tried it twice and each time it did funky things to my stomach. Nothing seriously scary but enough to say "I'd rather not eat here again." The food itself tasted OK (the bar is set pretty low as I don't expect a gourmet meal here, I just don't want to have an upset stomach after dinner) and the menu had a decent selection. Alas, the search for good quality, local Chinese food continues.
