Great food and excellent service at this popular Chinese restaurant. I tried China City at a recent Yelp event and returned here with the family for Father's Day dinner. I loved the food at the Yelp event and this time my family got to try it and also came away with very positive reactions. For dinner, we shared the Shanghai Family Dinner #2. A highlight for me is the House Fried Rice that is loaded with meats, veggies, etc. It's worth the upgrade for all that you get. We had a great server, Joshua, and our food was out quickly and tasted great. As is customary, we had several leftovers that Joshua packed for us and presented to us in a cute decorative reusable bag. Overall, this is a place we all enjoyed and I'll return here again. read more

I'm not sure what kind of spices, sauces they're using or not using but their food is very bland. Even after ordering my dish 3 stars I could have fed it to a toddler. One thing they don't skimp on is the green onions, because my dish consisted of 95% onions, scant other veggies. Can't recommend as there are better options available. read more

Food was decent, service was not great. We came here with a group for lunch and the restaurant was nearly empty. We still had to walk to the bartender to get refills on drinks, waters etc. even our own tab. Our waitress was MIA after ordering food. read more

I don't get these low scores. We loved it. The Egg Foo Young was the best we've ever had. The Happy Family Sizzling Platter was sizzling and had a great flavor. The server was great as well. If you love wine, I imagine it would be a good place because of their display but I don't like wine so I can't tell you. read more

This place has a fine Chinese dining ambiance. The food looks and smells amazing. Though unlike Panda Express, it tastes pretty decent. However if you've tasted authentic Chinese food you've tasted better: but ti be fair I think seasoning with salt per your taste would remedy any taste issues for me, which I didn't do. read more

Sadly, over the years the service and quality has gone way down. The food used to taste made fresh to order and now it tastes like chain fast food. The last time we were there for happy hour we waited a half hour and still couldn't put in a drink order. Another group came in and they were immediately served. When we asked the waitress to put in our drink order she rudely responded that she would get to us when she could. We left and have never been back. It is a shame since it used to be so good and had the best bar area in town. read more

*THIS REVIEW IS SOLELY FOR EGG FOO YOUNG ONLY* Don't order anything else. The egg foo young is ELITE! It's perfectly seasoned with the perfect gravy to compliment it. When you think of egg foo young - this dish is it. It's a huge fried egg omelet, essentially, laced with veggies and whatever protein you chose. Then it's served with this luscious, most savory, & magical brown gravy. I want to know how to replicate this sauce so badly. If anyone knows, please message me! TIA. I am drooling as I write this review. Do yourself a favor, if you enjoy eating eggs, and order this dish ASAP! read more

Unfortunately this is my last time ordering from China City in Mill Creek. Food was at best average. Each To Go entree averaged about $22. Ex. The cost for 4 small shrimp in a sauce was $24. Better restaurants in the Mill Creek area and not as expensive. read more

It's been 10 years since I was here, and it could be another 10 before I give these guys another chance. I had to read my original review, but my memory said decent food, but too sweet, too expensive and too small of a portion. We wanted to come for the end of lunch. Unfortunately, there was an accident, so instead of showing up at 2:50, we arrived at 3:20. We decided to go with a single entre, soup and rice. We considered an appetizer but found them to be overpriced. The soup was 4/5. Flavor was A+, but $6 for a soup is criminal. Most places are $3 for a cup and for $6-$7, you are getting a medium bowl. Again, the soup was flavorful and had two large wontons in it, and I won't lie, it was better than any $3 cup, but still, it was worth $4 at best, not $6. We like spicy food and from what we remembered, dishes that should have been spicy were sweet, so we ordered the one dish that said spicy, General Ng's. It wasn't spicy at all, it was sweet and tangy, almost a mild sweet and sour. We were not happy with this at all, Also, at $19, the portion was smaller than places that charge $16 for an entrée. Service was fine, I guess it was actually pretty good since we never had to flag our server down. She kept our drinks full and despite not being real friendly, was still professional. A couple recent reviews are 5 stars, I call BS. I think this place has potential, but there is no value here. You pay more for less and everything has way too much sugar and for people that can't have sugar, this place is bad for your health. We also asked for chili oil, because photos showed they made their own and we got some homemade sriracha, which was not chili oil. Either they don't make it anymore or our server brought us the wrong item. At the end of the day, I doubt ownership cares, they make the food the way they want, charge what they want to charge and serve lunch size portions while charging dinner prices. read more

This is our go-to stop for Chinese food! We have been here several times both for dine in and take out and we have never been disappointed! A few of our favorites are the fried rice, beef and broccoli, and sweet and sour chicken. We have always had good interactions with the staff here! read more

We decided to use spring break to visit restaurants in our "new" neighborhood we hadn't had a chance to due to the pandemic. China City was one I was skeptical about - the reviews on here had me unsure what to expect. Upon entry they ambiance is beautiful and the restaurant is clean. We were greeted with waters and our waiter came shortly after. We opted for the family dinner for two and a pot of tea. Wonton soup was amazing. I usually find them flavorless but this was flavorful and delicious. The bbq pork was as bbq pork should be and the spring rolls were delicious as well. For our mains we had veggie fried rice, sweet and sour pork, and cashew chicken. No joke the cashew chicken was the best cashew chicken I have had in a long while. Plenty of veggies and the flavor was on point. The bbq pork was good as well and the veggie fried rice delightful. I have seen complaints regarding portions on here so after we were stuffed I took a photo. We are taking a lot of food home. This was a family meal for two. Check was $54 after tax. We also got fortune cookies that were really good, nice and thick. I have found my new Chinese place - and will be back really soon! read more

- Customer experience is good - Friendly waitress - Food wasn't that good -- sweet and sour chicken was lame and seems they use the same for different chicken plates. And they just put you a different sauce on top. -- rice was ok -- Mongolian beef wasn't that flavorful I guess maybe I had my expectation high given the price. read more

My girlfriend and I came here for a few birthdays - her mom, brother, and stepdad all have one in April! Made a reservation thru OpenTable for 6pm and were seated immediately. My girlfriend went with the wine room table for an extra $25. It's secluded and more intimate but I would skip it. We ordered the dinner combo #2 which came with egg rolls, potstickers, hot & sour soup, Mongolian beef, almond chicken, vegetable fried rice (we subbed chicken in for $2 more), mandarin shrimp, general ng's chicken, and veggie chow mein. This to me was a fantastic value and I definitely recommend doing the combo if you come in a big group. The food was all exquisite - the almond and general ng's were fluffy with good crunch and flavor. The potstickers and egg rolls were crispy. We ordered a few drinks and the total came out to $245 after tax/tip, roughly $40 per person if you omit the $25 wine room fee charge. The service is where they lose a star. It was ok, but it took a very long time to get drinks or even extra water. All in all I still recommend this place. The ambiance is nice and the food is excellent. read more

Food was ok but the biggest issue was the portion size to cost. We have ordered from them before and this time they had new packaging. Only bonus was the most tote bag and the food packaging was made of recycled material but portions were way too small for the $20 price they charged. It was hard not to be pissed off. $17-20 per main dish, rice NOT included. All entrees came is same 900ml/30oz containers read more

On Christmas day we we saw the big line of people ordering food and delivery drivers taking out out food, so figured it must be really good if so many people are ordering there( WRONG) ! Ordered king pao chicken, sesame chicken and beef with broccoli, plus fried rice. All 71 plus dollars of the food we bought was disgusting. It tasted nothing like Chinese food. It was flavorless, and super greasy, the grease must have been old and it made all your clothes smell like an old grease. They put giant chunks of vegetables and the food was swimming in water. Worst tasting Chinese food I've ever eaten (gross). Panda express tastes a million times better. Maybe they was cheapin out on ingredients because it was so packed with orders and they ran out of the ingredients that they usually use and just hacked together whatever they could find available or had cooks who didn't know how to cook Chinese food. Whatever the case, the Chinese food was horrible on Christmas Day. I plan on trying to get my 71 dollars back that I wasted on this place. I think people went here on Christmas just because nowhere else nearby was open. Now I have a stomach ach and I have to wash the old grease smell off my clothes. read more

I have been coming to this restaurant since I lived here in Mill Creek! So .. a very long time! I think they just got new ownership and I am loving the slight change and improvement in the menu! Their cashew chicken has always been my favorite and hasn't changed which is fine because I always liked it. But their Mongolian beef?! SO GOOD! Me and my mom are obsessed and always order the Mongolian beef for takeout. Their crispy fried chicken wings were also a big favorite. I order those to start with every time. The service has always been super friendly to me too and the restaurant ambience feels comfy and cozy but definitely still feels like you're eating at a restaurant. I always feel comfortable dining here. read more

Guys, this place has really bad food. I would not recommend it. My appetizer had a piece of plastic in it, and the rice was crunchy. Oof...

Figured I'd try this spot and get some food to go just now. I rolled in at 8:20 and they told me the kitchen was closed. Not sure how things usually work in the restaurant biz but if an establishment advertises that it closes at 8:30, I would hope that the kitchen stays open until 8:30 as well. Just a thought. read more

We really enjoy our dinner at China City. The staff was great, the food was enjoyable, the atmosphere is fresh and modern. So why 4 stars instead of 5? Perhaps it's the menu. Even though it is predictable, it's kinda boring. Nothing on the menu stood out, it's all the same stuff you get everywhere. I would love to see some edgy items. Make me want to come back to try something new on the menu (like seasonal). Perhaps it was the food. Yes, it was enjoyable, tasty. But again, it wasn't oozing with flavor or making me want to gasp with wonder. Make the food so I have to come back. Put something on the menu that draws us in. Perhaps it was everything. Yes, predictable is great, but overall, it was kinda boring. Just to clarify, the atmosphere (style, cleanliness) at China City is top notch. The staff was great, fast service, and the food was enjoyable; however, we were hoping for just a little surprise taking China City over the top. Yes, I recommend if you want enjoyable, predictable food, nice staff in a great atmosphere. I want to go back; can you do something to surprise me. read more

We love China City and is our go to place. The food is always perfectly prepared and super fresh, not like the usual Chinese food that you get elsewhere where it seems to be sitting in a large pot ready to be serve. Our favorites are the almond chicken and BBQ pork fried rice. We just discovered the crab cheese wontons and they are delicious. The atmosphere is great and it's quiet. We always get good service too! read more

Our first time here. Greeted and seated right away. The server was attentive, and kind. The appetizers and drinks came out right away, and were followed by our main meals about 10 minutes later. The dishes we ordered had great flavor. We sat in the booths they have and we were able to hold conversations without hearing fb our neighbors. It is set up very classy inside. We will be returning customers! Great experience. read more

I have to say that China City has upped their game! I've always liked them, but I feel like they've stepped things up over the last year, and now I LOVE them! For the first time in a long while, my husband and I ordered takeout from China City last week. We got the family combo dinner #1 for two people, but added Broccoli Beef as well. We were very impressed with the freshness of the food, how it didn't taste greasy at all, but most of all, they give very fair and generous portions for $36. We were worried that it wouldn't be enough for us, so we added the Broccoli Beef, and while it tasted great, it was totally unnecessary to do so. The two person family meal is easily enough for two people to have nice portions, and even have some left over for lunch the next day. My 6'6 and 250lb husband and I each had it dinner, and again split the rest for lunch the following day. A nice added touch is that for takeout, they keep the Sweet and Sour Sauce separate so you can mix it together when you are ready. No soggy entrees here! I was so impressed last week, that I ordered from them AGAIN tonight. Even though it was take out, it was piping hot and carefully packaged. I think my favorite is probably the Cashew Chicken, but the Sweet and Sour Pork is a definite kid pleaser. I love, love, love the Wonton Soup. I'm so glad that we rediscovered this Mill Creek gem. read more

This was the first time I tried their food and I got their sweet and sour pork with steamed rice and 2 hours later I threw it all up and it's safe to say I will never be eating here again read more

Used to be a go to for vegan options, but must say this place has kinda gone down a little. Food is excessively oily. The fried tofu tastes like oil soaked sponges season w/five spice. $15 cocktail wasn't really worth it. We used to love coming here with family but I'm starting to think it's no longer worth it. The service is always good here. Just the food has become lack luster unfortunately. My kid actually got sick shortly after leaving this place. Sadly I don't think I'll be back for awhile. read more

We absolutely LOVE this place! It's our new favorite place to get Chinese food. Everything is fantastic. I usually order the hot tea, my husband and I order their combo and substitute with Egg Flour Soup ( Egg drop soup) which is amazing! Gyozas (which are huge, handmade and delicious) and egg roles. Some of the best fried rice I've ever had, The General Sos chicken is our favorite so far. The environment feels fancy, great atmosphere for a special occasion. The Service is fast and attentive. read more

Great service for lunch. Attentive server and very helpful. Food was good as always. Gift card were available

Looks fancy on the inside and has good service/atmosphere as well. Unfortunately this was some of worst chinese food I've ever had.

Good food but slow slow slow service. Do not bring your hungry kids or they will be so upset that it takes 15 minutes just to have the order taken. Then another 25 to get the food. The food is amazing. But believe me, after coming 3 times it's always the same / slower than molasses, slower than a dead turtle, and slower than you can even imagine. It's as if you should pack food in a back pack so that you don't die waiting read more

Here are a few items I received via Uber yesterday. I am overall pleased with my order. I typically get the same thing when I eat here or order out. The consistency and well packaged items will keep me wanting to return. The "heat level"questions are very helpful considering the fact that I suffer from frequent heart burn. I am open to trying new things but, I usually just crave what I usually order. :) Thank you! read more

I'm not really sure why it's not busier in here. They have great ambiance, everything I have tried is great and the service is amazing! The fried food has a good ratio of breading and protein, with the perfect amount of sauce. My favorite is their lunch specials that comes with a fried cheese wonton, soup and a meal. read more

I visited here around noon on a weekday for the first time. The decor and ambiance were nice, but I had to wait an uncomfortably long time to be greeted and seated--even though it wasn't busy. Unfortunately, that slow service became a theme for the rest of my visit. I ordered the Mongolian beef, and my girlfriend had the cashew chicken. We both thought the food was decent, though the portion sizes were on the small side. Let's just say we finished everything on our plates with nothing left to take home, which is unusual for us. We also tried the pumpkin spice drink specials, which came in lowball glasses with a lot of ice. While they tasted okay, they only held about 4 ounces of actual drink. At $26 for the pair, plus 10% tax and a 20% tip, those two small drinks ended up costing us almost $30. I also ordered a bottomless Coke, but with the lack of attentive service, it didn't feel bottomless. My glass went empty before I finished my meal, and it didn't get refilled until we were asking for the check. I like to drink while I eat, so the slow refills were a letdown. And I had my empty glass at the edge of the table which means I would like a refill. Overall, it was an underwhelming experience, and I'll likely try the other Chinese spots in the area before I think about returning." read more

I ordered a few items off Uber eats for delivery. The food was tasty but it's rice and veggies. My total order cost $98. Which is a bit expensive but after eating the two entrees and lumpia appetizers we were bummed. The portion size for a full order of broccoli chicken, chicken fried rice were so small I feel cheated. It's Chinese food. I think I won't be ordering from here again. read more

Great food, great service, pleasant atmosphere. We started with egg drop soup and pot stickers. The soup was very flavorful and the pot stickers were excellent. We also ordered several plates and shared; a sweet and sour pork lunch plate with fried rice, mongolian beef, sesame chicken, and house chow mein. The chow mein was literally the best I've ever had - so good! The sweet and sour pork and mongolian beef were tasty too. I wouldn't re-order the sesame chicken, it was a good dish, just not what I was expecting compared to other restaurants I've had it in and not for me, personally. My boyfriend enjoyed the fried rice though I didn't make it that far. Plates were good size and we had plenty left over to take home for dinner. Right before dining here, I found out this place was a local chain and affiliated with the Oak Harbor restaurant of the same name... that made me a little nervous as we've eaten at that one before and weren't particularly impressed. Clearly I shouldn't have worried! Service was attentive and food came out fast and hot. Plenty of parking and we were seated immediately at lunch time on a Sunday. Ingredients seem to be of quality. Not sure what else I could ask for - we will definitely be back! read more

Overall disappointing experience at China City. Pricey, inauthentic, dry and overly salty - this was a PF Chang's experience masquerading as upscale dining. The service was friendly and scarily prompt - the food came out 2 minutes after placing an order, which is always suspicious and led me to believe items were hanging out under warmers for quite awhile (tasting them confirmed this theory). The wonton soup is particularly bad, with what tastes like a saltwater base, soggy disintegrating wontons, and a floating piece of soggy bokchoy. Such a shame, as the space/ambiance is rather nice, but we'll never be back. read more

I've received great food delivery from China City during the lockdown, so I was enthusiastic about having lunch there. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. I ordered a jalapeno cucumber margarita. It was delicious and had just enough burn to make sure you knew that it had a jalapeno vodka base. The only issue I had was that the cucumber was muddled and clogged the straw. That is perhaps a personal preference. The hot and sour soup was delicious too. However the lunch entrée was where everything fell flat. I ordered the Szechuan sea bass with the vegetable chow mein. It was served with a single crab cheese wonton appetizer. The appetizer was good, but the vegetable chow mein tasted stale. It was just warm, not hot, with several cold spots. My guess is that it was reheated from last night. There was several nice-sized pieces of sea bass, but the entire entrée seemed ... tired, not fresh. Almost as if there were components of the dish that were simply made independently then mixed together in a bowl and served on a plate, instead of a cohesive dish. After my meal it took an additional 15 minutes to get the check, and I appreciate being able to scan the QR code to pay directly (I'll put the "offer emails" in my junk folder. I really wanted to be happier about my restaurant choice this time. I don't know if I'll be back. read more

I think the quarantine has done a number on this restaurant. It used to be a fabulous restaurant here in the town center. Now that they have reopened, the service and food is just mediocre. I do prefer them over the other Chinese restaurants in the area just to be clear. I think a lot of restaurants are having a hard time getting back up to par. read more
