New Century

New Century offers truly amazing, authentic Vietnamese food. Their spring rolls are incredibly unique. Having traveled and tasted food all over the world, I still haven't found anything quite like them! From the fragrant pho to the rice dishes and desserts, we loved every bite. While the pho portions may have gotten slightly smaller over the years, the quality remains high. It is fresh, delicious, and offered at a very good price. A must visit for any food lover in CNY!

Hidden in plain sight on a sleepy stretch of Kirkpatrick Street, New Century doesn’t look like much from the outside—just a faded brick building with a sun-bleached awning, wedged into a quiet, unassuming neighborhood. You might second-guess yourself as you walk up the worn steps, but don’t turn back. This is one of those rare places where the soul of the food quietly outshines its shell. Inside, the décor is an eclectic fusion of Buddhist posters, faux flowers, statues, and decades-old furniture, giving the space a vibe somewhere between a spiritual retreat and an Asian family banquet hall that’s seen better days. The building is cavernous—much too big for the sparse crowd when we visited—which only adds to its mysterious charm. A hand-written sign reminds you: “We are not a fast food re

In the area for business travel and like to try new places. Very pleasant atmosphere, clean and quiet. The wait staff was very friendly and helpful. Ordered the spring rolls and pho. It was prepared quickly and tasted delicious. I only gave 4 stars on the food since some of the noodles were clumped together but overall taste was good. Note that the price is higher when paying with credit card. This is noted very clearly on the menu. Also they added a 15% tip. I will Vito again and recommend.

I've been for lunch a few times and enjoyed it so took my family for dinner last weekend. We all enjoyed our meals, and the restaurant was warm which was fantastic given the weather! What I wanted to share here most was the phenomenal team there. My 87-year old mother was unable to stand, let alone walk, when we were ready to go (from exhaustion vs. anything at the restaurant!) The gentleman noticed we were having trouble and SO kindly offered the help of a few of his team. One of them carried, with my son, my mother in a chair all the way to our car, in the rain. And, they wouldn't take a tip. I was so grateful for their help and kindness. Really good people. I will return for the food AND the owners/staff. Thank you, thank you for your humanity.

I love this place. The food is great and it’s a simple ma and pa place. The pho is outstanding! ( if you’re really hungry you can get extra noodles for $1) I always get the spring rolls because they are super fresh. The raw beef w tumerum is excellent. We got the fish today ( see pic) and it was tasty.
