About New Century

New Century is a Chinese takeaway in the Ballysillan area of North Belfast, at 701 Oldpark Rd, built around an open-kitchen counter where customers can watch the chefs work. The counter staff take and hand over orders in front of that kitchen. The menu pairs Chinese dishes with gravy cheesy chips, and chicken balls, curry and chips are also on offer. Opening is evenings only, Tuesday to Sunday, and the takeaway closes on Mondays.

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers split sharply on New Century, with the strongest praise going to decent sized portions and fast, reliable delivery. Several describe fresh food, friendly staff, and chefs working behind the counter in a clean and tidy way, and one says it serves the best food of every Chinese takeaway they tried in the Ballysillan area. The complaints are just as concrete and centre on order accuracy and waiting. One reviewer was given peas instead of gravy on cheesy chips and found the curry clumpy, with burnt, hard chips. Another reports a hard, bone-like piece in a battered chicken ball, sausages that were not salted chilli, and a missing drink after a long wait. Others mention undercooked or greasy food, mixed up orders, and phone calls that went unanswered. One late night app order was never fulfilled, and the reviewer says the refund came without an apology. Another had a cold delivery replaced with a fresh one that arrived without the gravy sauce.

  • Arron Fisher
    “Was the best place about, last few times have been very sloppy with undercooked food or lots of grease was always the opposite, il not be getting out of it again if its not the girls behind the counter mixing up orders or letting your food sit there while your waiting its the overall quality of the food has gone downhill”
  • Jessica Lutton
    “I wouldn't give this Chinese any stars if I could. No words can describe how disgusted I am with the food my partner and I couldn't even eat it as I had a hard bit in my batter of my chicken ball looked like a bone the sausages were not salted chilli they just put chilli bits in my curry and the chips tasted like they were reheated. It took our food over an hour to come and didn't give us our drink. Please stay clear of this Chinese as it is definitely not worth the money absolutely disgusting will not be back. If you order from this chinese please be prepared to wait🤢 I am most certainly not the only one complaining there is other reviews on here that are also not satisfied with their order's. How can I be easily pleased to have found a bone in my chicken ball?? Seriously in need of new cooks and to close the place down its absolutely shocking. New century more like new cemetery. Good luck to who ever eats from this place.”
