First time in this place this afternoon. My co-worker told me about the place and the Asian market next door. I was blown away by the menu. Very authentic with probably 90% of the items I have not seen elsewhere. It was wonderful. I had spicy wontons as an appetizer and spicy chicken with bamboo for the entry. I can hardly wait to get back and try more new things.
The food is truly amazing! The salt and pepper tofu dish is one of my favorites. The staff is so sweet and attentive too. I cannot recommend china city enough.
*Let me preface this review with the warning that this isn't your typical American Chinese restaurant. Not as much strong, thick sauces as American Chinese - Which I love too, but if you go in with different expectations, then you may love it as much as we did.
What a great experience! Authentic Chinese and many options that aren't available unless you want to make the hike to Cleveland. We dined in and had Spring Rolls, Kung Pao Lotus Root, and Fried Salt & Pepper Tofu. It was all outstanding! The lotus root was my favorite since it was a new experience for me. It reminded me somewhat of bamboo shoots. You have the option of white or fried rice - remember, when I said it wasn't like the typical American-Chinese restaurant, because the fried rice won't be as heavy on butter. I ended up liking the white rice more and having the Kung Pau sauce take over.
We will be back next week because this menu is massive. My wife is vegetarian and there are many options. I would eventually like to try some of the meat options too.
We went here for the first time, tonight… it was awesome. I love salt & pepper shrimp and it was legitimately the best I’ve had. I would’ve preferred with shells, but it was excellent. Also everything was hot, which I always appreciate, and veg weren’t floppy and overcooked. My 16 yr old is an adventurous eater and the 11 yr old is pickier and both enjoyed it a lot.
I don't know how to explain it describe this place as anything other than awesome. This is not a place you go to for the typical American Chinese fast food fare.
You come here for some delicious, authentic and interesting Szechuan cuisine. I can't say that I've ever had anything bad here.
Read thru the descriptions and look at the pictures when you order, as it won't necessarily be the same as the way you get the food somewhere else. But this is better, trust me.
Delicious and unique flavors and fast and friendly service makes this place a favorite of mine.
