New China is Crozet’s first Chinese restaurant

It was a momentous day in Crozet dining history on Monday–the little hamlet to the west welcomed its first Chinese take-out restaurant! Appropriately enough, it’s called New China. Located on The Square in the space formerly occupied by the Crozet Snack Shop, the joint already appears to be jumping. When we called earlier to find out more we were told they were too busy to talk. According to Crozet resident and real estate blogger Jim Duncan (thanks for the photo, Jim), folks in town are saying it is really good–and the lunch special is only $5.72! However, you might want to get yours to go, as Duncan says there’s only one table. And get this: Duncan says there is a sign up at the Clover Lawn Shopping Center that says another Chinese restaurant will be opening up soon. Ah, when it rains chow mein it pours.
