About The New Ocean
In Wallsend, The New Ocean is a Chinese takeaway at 13 Battle Hill Dr with a menu built around salt and chilli dishes. Chips, chicken, beef and prawns all get the treatment, including the chilli salt prawns. Kitchen staff cook to order on request, so customers can ask for a different spice level, leave the salt out of an egg foo yung or choose gluten-free options. Duck spring rolls sit alongside the salt and chilli plates for anyone wanting a starter. The takeaway is now under new management.

Customer Review Summary
The caveat comes from longtime customers who say quality dropped after the takeover or a chef change. They describe house special fried rice and chow mein missing the usual char siu and chicken slices and gravy, hot and sour soup like spicy water, crispy king prawns turned dry and powdery, and greasy, rubbery chips. One says a sweet and sour chicken order had hard batter and chewy chicken, and the egg fried rice showed no egg.

“I went tonight and got salt and chilli chips and chicken fried rice,the salt and chilli chips were absolutely amazing they had lots of flavour and they also did them very spicy just how I asked them 🫶 10/10 it's crazy as different Chinese shops do the salt n chilli chips so different not 1 shops the same & I can honestly say they are beautiful from here!! Also just to mention my partner got the chicken fried rice and he really enjoyed it he said the chicken was lovely and soft (just some places it's very tough) but it was lovely and tender and rice was really tasty also 😁”

“I hadn't ordered from this Chinese, for quite a few yrs but decided to last night. The food was lovely and tasty, full of flavour. It arrived, hot and on time. I will be definitely ordering from them again.”

“I have used this take away for many years and it had generally been ok, however, last night (Saturday 15th November ) I ordered sweet and sour chicken ( batter balls ) with egg fried rice. When I got home I noticed the sweet and sour sauce was more of a brown colour as opposed to the usual red colour. This was runny and greasy and did not have the same flavour as usual. There was no evidence of any egg in the egg fried rice... the batter on the chicken was hard and the chicken inside was very chewy. As my order was not long after they opened, I suspect that the chicken batter balls were not freshly cooked and had simply been reheated , possibly from a previous uncollected order. the whole meal was a disaster, not sure if maybe this was a different chef but suffice to say I will not be going back”

“Being coeliac I wasn't expecting to have much choice, however Simon advised what my options were and kindly ensured that my chosen dishes were gluten free. We had the house special Cantonese style and the honey and chilli beef and they were both delicious. Highly recommend. My partner also complimented the duck spring rolls. We will definitely be back.”

“I've been here four times in five days; and that's only because it was closed for one of those days. Best chili salt prawns I've had in the UK and the peking duck is delicious. Furthermore, it is run by a super sweet family with great craic and exceptional service. Highly recommend and I personally will definitely return soon. Thanks to the new management and good luck in the year of the snake 🐍”
