The food here is excellent. I've ordered the house special chow fun, beef and broccoli, fried scallops and vegetable lo mein. There are only 3 tables, so most people take out their order. Very friendly restaurant. My 5 year old loves the chicken wings too.

Been going to this place for many years and can't believe I have never reviewed it before. One of the best Chinese restaurants in the area. We have tried quite a few but always come back to China City. The food is fresh and tasty, portions are large and orders are ready when they tell you. Family that runs it is wonderful. They were closed during a good portion of Covid and we struggled to find an acceptable replacement. Judging by the lines out their door when they reopened many other people thought the same.

Great food quality and quantity for the price. Their lunch special portions can’t be beat. With tax it’s about 10 and the lunch special comes with your choice of soup. Standards like chicken with broccoli or general tsp’s chicken never disappoint.

I’ve been to various Chinese restaurants looking for the perfect sesame chicken. Some places make it to sweet. However China City makes it just right. Their food is delicious and always fresh. This is definitely one my favorite fast food Chinese restaurants.

This will be your new favorite spot for Chinese food. The szechuan wontons are the best I've ever had! We've tried so many items off the menu over the years and everything is so good.

Really good Chinese food in lake Hiawatha. Portion sizes are big and they have a great variety for lunch specials. I would suggest take out to dine in as seating space is limited.
