New China House, Chinese Restaurant in St Julians Malta

It was Friday evening and I fancied eating Chinese. I looked at Trip advisor and came up with a few choices. As with everything on Trip Advisor someone throws a spanner in the works with a terrible review and puts you off. So I searched through google for a while and came up with a couple of possibles. From what I can gather Restaurants in Malta aren't that up to date with the world wide web and don't seem to have websites (hence why I'm blogging this now), so it took a bit of research. Anyway we came across a decent review here at www.malta.mydestinationinfo.com and decided that we would head out in search of the New China House Restaurant in St Julians Malta. We took the local Yellow Bus along to St Julians from Sliema ( If you're in this area the local yellow buses are cheap and frequent taking you along the coast, they are pretty rickety mind so be prepared for an experience, but at less than half a Euro it's well cheap).

The New China House is located in Spinola Road, St Julians, Malta. It's a 2 minute walk from the Hilton Hotel, just up a side street that has a bar called Dicks bar on the corner.
It was a busy Friday Night in the restaurant and the manageress managed to squeeze us in ( from what I could make out it's probably best to book here especially at the weekend).
I won't go into a full rundown of what we ate course by course but the Steamed Fillet Of Dentici Fish with Soy Sauce And Ginger was exceptional.

The staff were all great and our food was spot on. Our meal for 2 came to 65 Euro's which included a decent Bottle of Wine (@ 14 euro) and 2 Fish Dishes (probably the most expensive). We both thought it was excellent value for money. There did seem to be banquet style menu's aswell, we'll try them next time no doubt.

We had a chat with the Manageress whilst waiting for the rain to stop (yes it rains in Malta) and she told us that her family has owned the place for 14 years and the restaurant itself was the first Chinese Restaurant in Malta and was opened 43 years ago.

Anyway to sum it up if you're after a decent Chinese Meal in the Sliema, St Julians area of Malta check out the New China House Chinese Restaurant at 8 Spinola Road, St Julians. Tel: 21355021 or 21351709.
Best bet is to call up and book a table, tell them you read about them here, hopefully they'll get a website up at somepoint and we can link you to it. In the meantime here's a link to a PDF Menu and a map that'll get you near enough there.
Enjoy your meal!
