New Wa Toy

Went for a co-​workers birthday, three of us, arrived at 7:30 and there was no room in the bar so we were seated in what I assume was the main dining room… which was harshly lit and as empty as a bus station on a Sunday at midnight.
We we seated and given menus, no drink order was taken, we had to wait for the server for that. The drinks we ordered, looked pretty much the same, all alcohol. We asked if there had been some mistake and the waitress said no, since she had made them herself. I can see why she isn’t making a living as a bartender.
The food was really good, however, as previous reviews had mentioned, came out staggered. One had to wait as she didn’t get her entire order.
If I return, would only do so for take — out.

It pains me to write this review. My family has been eating from this establishment for YEARS and been very happy. The food has always been excellent and the staff we dealt with extremely friendly.
However, we always ordered takeout. Always. It was just easier for us. So this was our go-​to place while living close by. Their sushi is always on point and their Chinese food is really good.
That brings us to last night. We have moved to Concord and my daughter had played a basketball game at Goffstown High. It was late so we decided to hit up our favorite Chinese place after the game.
The place was NOT busy. The bar was fairly full but there was only one other table with a party of 5 or 6 in it. We waited a couple of minutes at the front to be seated. No big deal.
We sat down, right next to the large party (who ended up being fairly loud and telling inappropriate stories — we had our 4 year old with us). The same guy who sat us took our drink orders and our orders. Apparently the host was also the server. My husband and one of my teen daughters ordered dinners, we got my toddler an order of chicken fingers and my other teen daughter and myself got sushi to share.
We waited a long time for our food. Like, WAY longer than it should have with just how UN-​busy they were.
The hot food arrived first and we watched the sushi chef step into the sushi bar area and begin to prepare our sushi. We ordered 4 rolls altogether. A Philadelphia roll, a vegetable maki, a rainbow tobiko maki and the special roll of the night, a Volcano roll.
My husband was completely done with his meal and my toddler was getting antsy and we still had yet to receive ONE roll.
By the time we received our rolls everyone else was finished and ready to leave. Our server didn’t once ask us if we wanted refills on our drinks or talked to us about our wait time.
So, while the food WAS good, as usual, the experience was not a good one.
Bottom line: New Wa Toy is GREAT for their food, but lacks in their service. Order takeout if at all possible!

Friendly service and atmosphere, great fresh food and excellent drinks! Always worth the ride from Lowell, MA. Best Chinese food, mostly disappointed anywhere else.

One of my favorite Asian Restaurants. My Family has been getting take out here since they originally opened. We have tried all the others in the area and still come back to the wa toy

Everytime our family would travel near the area we would always make a trip to wa toys. Well on our honeymoon my husband and I decided to get lunch after we landed. We came in 15 minutes after they opened and the waitress made sure we knew that we had bothered them for coming in. The waitress was not only wicked rude and unattentive but would only speak to my husband in a nice manner. The food was disgusting, we ordered the pu pu platter as we always have before. They came out with a much smaller version then we previously have gotten. The sweet and sour chicken was 95 percent batter and dry as anything. The spare ribs had the taste and consistency of leather. Our rice had the worst burnt taste we have ever had. Disappointing, what happened to this place? Terrible service and did i mention we got food poisoning and were back and forth to the bathrooms all night. Stay away.

My wife brought home some left over lo mein a while ago which I loved. So I insisted we take the 20! mile trip up 93 and try them for dinner. All in all, I would not go out of my way again. It was just okay.
We always start with basic stuff on first visit, won ton soup, pu pu platter, and either fried rice or lo mein.
The won ton soup was good, not great. The broth was nice and it was full of small wontons, vegetables, and pork slivers.
The shrimp lo mein did not disappoint. It was as good as I recalled from the noted leftovers. The noodles were cooked well, maybe just a tad over but not too much so. They were flavorful. There was plenty of small shrimp and some Chinese vegetables. Very nice.
The pu pu platter, consisting of the standard Chinese appetizers, was pretty disappointing over all. The chicken wings were small and not meaty. The spareribs, on bone, lacked flavor. The fried shrimp were terrible, overcooked and dry. The crab Rangoon had a very odd flavor, maybe the worst I have ever had. The steak teriyaki was okay. The chicken fingers were fine. The egg rolls were quite bland. The only thing real positive was the chicken teriyaki which were meaty, juicy, and very flavorful.
I will note that my wife has had their General Gau’s Chicken in the past and liked it a lot.
So all in all, it was a just passable dinner last night, only thanks to the nice lo mein, whose left overs I do look forward to enjoying soon. I give it 3 stars, but it was probably only worth 2.5. I don’t see us going out of our way and make this trip again.

Just another average Chinese restaurant. Try Sun Sui in Merrimack/​Bedford line for Amazing Chinese food.

Great food. Chinese and Sushi options. Golden Dragon Roll and Chinese Calamari are my Faves. Nick and Cindy get to know you by name. Zack mixes some powerful drinks to go with great food. My 12 year old loves their fries, go figure. 3 Chinese places within a mile of here an Nu Wa Toy is the best overall with food and drinks. I would recommend to friends a families.

I like Wa Toy a lot for the drinks and the food but last night we heard so much fighting from the kitchen and glass breaking to make us feel like something bad was going to happen. Doesn’t make for a pleasurable experience. I’ll stick to take out.

Part 4 of the Goffstown area Chinese Review
I saved this one for last. I had such low expectations for New Wa Toy — it just looks like such a hole from the outside. After trying China Gourmet, North Garden, and Aloe Garden, and finding fault with all of them, I was running out of faith that I would find a go to option around my new home. I even went back to Jade Dragon and Chen’s, and was thinking of trekking back up to Mei’s finally and just trade the longer drive for better food, but said to hell with it — let’s just make sure New Wa Toy wasn’t a hidden gem.
I had to wait a while for the food — quite a bit longer than they had advised — but fortunately worth it.
As with all recent Chinese attempts, went with the Pu Pu to get a sense of everything. Here goes:
Crab Rangoon — 4 of 5 — not quite Mei’s, but pretty damn good
Chicken Fingers — 4 of 5 — decent size, not soggy
Chicken Wings — 5 of 5 — nailed these
Beef Teriyaki — 4 of 5
Chicken Teriyaki — 5 of 5
Spareribs — 4 of 5 — first time I’ve seen these on the bone! Usually this is the slop at the bottom of the box. Unique.
Egg Roll — didn’t get to them, as I put down too many Rangoon
Pu Pu value was outstanding. Prices were very reasonable here. Duck sauce and fried rice were also above average.
While I may go back to Aloe Garden to mix it up, I think New Wa Toy is going to be the standard for Chinese now while in Goffstown.

You know how it is when you go to a chinese restaurant and the food is just okay? Well surprise surprise — not here! Went here with a friend for the first time and was really impressed. Very nice booths and tables, we were seated promptly by the friendly greeter. Server was very prompt and friendly, bringing us fresh rolls and butter before we ordered! We ordered a Pu Pu Platter for two (around $ 19.99) and a Beef w/​peppers and onions ($ 10.00). The large beef dish was beautifully garnished and perfectly tender and delicious. The Pu Pu Platter (flaming) was very impressive with marinated chicken wings (the best next to The Dynasty’s in Rochester), chicken teriyaki (the best, no exaggeration, I have ever had and I have been to many chinese restaurants in my life!), the ribs were also the best I have ever had — very tender and very flavorful (such a surprise since I have never found ribs to be very good at any chinese restaurant, mostly tough chewy little morsels!), beef teriyaki very tender and flavorful, egg rolls, chicken fingers, shrimp, crab rangoons all good! Service was really quite good as well. All in all a very enjoyable experience and I look forward to our next visit. I have to give them five stars as it’s been a long time since we’ve found a really good chinese restaurant, other than The Dynasty in Rochester, NH!

Pretty average/​decent Chinese food. Went here for a birthday party for one of our friends. There was about 20 of us. They only had one server for all of us, I felt bad for her. She did a good job though. Drinks are strong.

Can always rely on good ol’ Wa Toy. Karaōke night is definitely big here, and if you don’t like to sing, it’s great to just sit and watch the show. Drinks are expensive but they definitely pack a punch, like the scorpion bowls they’re known for. Food is a decent price and good, so you can’t go wrong their either.

The New Wa Toy is as good as it gets for Asian fare in NH, including sushi! The service is great starting from the management of Nick, Annie, Gord and Cindy. The food is very fresh with great presentation and reasonably priced. Jimmy the sushi Chef serves up spectacular specials and again you can’t beat their prices.
I have tried most Asian restaurants in the area and none compare the the quality, freshness, friendly atmosphere and price point of the WaToy. The staff is also very accommodating to your taste palett… if you want your food with extra spice, then ask, or if you’d like it with more sauce, just ask, they aim to please. Did I mention the Mai Tai’s are the best I have «ever» had…
It’s also a great place to catch any sporting event with four giant flat screens. Thursday’s and Saturdays have state of the art Karaōke.
If you haven’t tried The New Wa Toy, you should… if you were an old customer and haven’t been back since they re-opened…you should, you will be back for more!

My most favorite Chinese food in the world. I live in South Florida and New York City and can’t find anything like Wa Toy in either location. Can’t wait until next weekend when I visit family in NH and get to go to Wa Toy!

Awesome teriyaki beef and chicken and pretty much everything I’ve eaten there. Fresh sushi at great prices, it was 50% during the summer, I ate soo much eel: d
Drink prices aren’t bad at all either, and very friendly service, always greeted with a smile :)

Wow, what a great deal. All this month 50% off their sushi. Ordered sushi, and some rolls. Everything was good. We also got Sushi pizza! Seriously, I’m not sure who came up with this but I have a new favorite appetizer. If you like crab meat you need to try it. The only thing I had that I didn’t like was the scorpion bowl. Common theme in most chinese restaraunts… way too strong.
This is a pretty good take in that I will try again.
If your a fan of sushi try the Godzilla roll.

We come here once and a while, before going grocery shopping which is next door. We haven’t ha
d a bad meal yet, Tina estimated 50x. Drinks are excellent and well priced. We share a scorpion bowl. It is a quiet night, only us and another couple. Food was hot and fresh and delicious. Waitress was good, the help was in the corner talking loudly in chinese, that was annoying. All in all we’ll be back, good atmosphere and food.

«The New Wa Toy looks like the old Wa Toy», said my girlfriend who has been eating here since she was a little girl, which was a while ago. «Same mural on the wall «.
“Hi, my name is Crystal, and I’m here to service you», said the waitress. I turned to look at my girlfriend. «Behave», she said. «Sooo, I guess the waitstaff is new», I replied, behaving.
We ordered tea, crispy aromatic beef, pan fried ravioli, white rice, and a scorpion bowl for two. The tea was dark and tasty. The food was delivered fast and pretty good. The white rice was amazingly moist and sticky. It was like sushi rice. It was perfect.
On the minus side, the waitress didn’t light our scorpion bowl on fire.

Good place for Chinese food and cocktails. Wa Toy has a separate dining room on the left and a cocktail lounge on the right. The Wa Toy offers a good Chinese menu including Mandarin, Szechuan, and Polynesian specialties. 30 Luncheon Specials ($ 4.25-$ 6.85) and 12 Dinner Specials ($ 7.85-$ 8.85) are offered here.
I stopped here for a late night dinner after work and was seated in the spacious dining room with booth and table seating. There’s a large colorful painted mural of a tropical paradise on the wall. I ordered the Chicken Lo Mein Dinner Special ($ 7.85) served with pork fried rice and choice of 2 appetizers (I got 2 beef teriyakis and 9 fried wonton skins), a dinner roll, and a complementary pot of hot tea. The good portion of food was filling and tasty. The beef teriyaki sticks were on the chewy side and the Lo Mein had good flavors with vegetables and chicken pieces. The service here was good with timely delivery of the food.
