    Inside
    Steve A.

    China City probably is the best Asian in Portsmouth. It probably is because there aren't many Chinese restaurants. The food is better than you would expect in this area. It has competent service, not stellar but good enough. The restaurant is good for healthy and vegetarian eaters in an area with limited options. If you're going into Portsmouth from the north, it's kind of hard to see it. It's off the side of Route 23 in a crappy strip mall. The outside may seem sketchy. Inside the restaurant isn't much to look at either. That isn't really much of an issue because the restaurant seems to be popular with takeout. Homestyle bean curd is pretty good. It's about $6 for the lunch portion. Anyone looking for a healthy meal in the area should look here. Many restaurants serve up fried shit. If you're looking for something vegetarian this is better. Whatever you want it's usually really cheap. In Portsmouth I would get Chinese from China City. It could be the cheapest in town but it's pretty good. The best tip would be to get carryout because the inside of the restaurant kind of sucks.

    Remember these from when you were younger?

    Delicious food, friendly service. As of May 2026. Carryout only. I go there at least once a month.

    I ate it once while on a business trip, and halfway through I found a hair in it! After I went back, I had diarrhea! It's really disgusting!

    All the food we have gotten here has been great! Wish they made the spicy stuff a bit hotter ( maybe use a heat rating for orders?)
