Medium Risk NYC Grade: A

Inspectors have visited New De Xing five times, with records going back to 2023. New De Xing was last inspected on Jan 15, 2026. The medium risk tier sits in the middle: not spotless, but not alarming either.

Recent visits have flagged more than earlier ones: around four violations per visit lately, up from roughly two violations before.

When inspectors have written things up, “non-food contact surface or equipment made of unacceptable material” has been the most frequent reason, cited three times.

That falls roughly in the middle of the pack for Queens restaurants. The record is unremarkable in either direction.
