the best best best food I've had in Connecticut. I fully recommend this place...especially the sweet and sour pork!

I think I've order here once before and now I know why I didn't go back. Service was fine, the order was done quickly. It's very convenient to order online and pick up. But my meal wasn't that good. The rice was dry or old and there wasn't much taste to my chicken with garlic sauce. I'll pass on this place read more

China City Restaurant - Lunch 39.Chicken with Hot Garlic Sauce - Chinese Near Me - Middletown, Connecticut

Food is always so consistently delicious! Been eating here since 2008 when we moved into the area and always had a great experience.

We lived in Middletown for 39 years, and frequented here during the last 10 years we lived there. The takeout was B+ to A-, and enjoyable. We weren't expecting gourmet. We moved to Cromwell (10 minutes away) 2 years ago, and thought we would try it again. The meal was terrible. Chicken in cashews had no sauce, so very difficult to reheat. Sesame noodles were dry - no sauce. Terrible. Hot and sour soup was overloaded with mushrooms! Really? The only good dish was vegetable fried rice. With three misses out of 4, we won't go back. Too bad. The staff is friendly, but that doesn't compensate for a mediocre meal. read more

Friendly owners and incredible food. What more could you ask for! Best takeout in town.

Best food & the quickest delivery around ! I order a couple times a month , reminds me of home

Oh my god NO! This place was disgusting. The food was inedible. The wonton soup broth tasted fishy. The wonton wrappers were gummy and the meat inside not tasty. The cold sesame noodles we inedible. The noodles were significantly undercooked and the clump of peanut butter dumped on top was too thick to do anything with. The egg rolls were also fishy tasting. There are many many better options for Chinese food around here than this gross place. read more

On the whole takeout was fine. Only thing I wouldn't order again was the steamed dumpling. It was just too heavy/thick.

I've been going to China city for years it is by far the best Chinese in middletown everything is excellent I love it and the portions are above and beyond So if you feel like Chinese there's only 1 place to go!!!!! read more

I was fending for myself one night, so I decided to try a new to me Chinese restaurant. China City is less than 5 minutes from my new house, and I couldn't be happier! I ordered a Spring Roll, Three Musketeers and Fried Dumplings. The Spring Roll was was a little dry, but it was crispy and tasty. The Three Musketeers is a dish with beef, chicken, pork and Chinese veggies in a sauce that threw me off at first, but it grew on me. The Fried Dumplings were out of this world good. They are definitely the best that I've had in a long time. read more

Had a Happy Family that was disappointing. Steamed dumplings were very good. Spring rolls were OK as was the Egg Roll. My wife enjoyed her Garlic shrimp. Now back to that Happy Family - the beef was indelible chewey and gristly. The Chicken was even worse - sorta of a fatty chewey texture with a rancid taste so that was inedible also. The Pork was OK . The Shrimp was good. But Chinese food is always a fun so there is that. I am local and not from SF as the review names me - haven't been able to change that. read more

Excellent, always delicious Chinese. The best Chinese in Middletown. My favorite is the spicy dumplings. All of their Szechuan is really good too. Great people and service. read more

Fresh and delicious. They always do such a great job! Would recommend takeout as they are consistently good.

Great food and VERY CLEAN restaurant! So happy I tried this place! You won't regret it.

It's basic but it's good. You get what you pay for here. The staff is always very friendly and they often throw in something extra for larger orders. There are plenty of Chinese choices in Middletown but this one is my favorite take out place. The wonton soup is always good and I usually get a vegetarian dinner with rice or low mein. The portions are very generous which basically turns one meal into two. Basic but good. read more

Best boneless spare ribs. They are big and tender. Egg rolls are good and so is the lo mein. Has become my fav chinese in middletown

An OK local take-out place, they are in a strip mall with an indian restaurant, and italian restaurant, a breakfast place, a laundromat a very busy liquor store and some other things .. the parking lot is pretty busy and the people that buy liquor a few doors down always just double park in front of the store - i guess when you drink a lot you dont want to walk too much? getting in and out of the lot can be bothersome at times if there is traffic. The menu has all the typical chinese-take-out bases covered, a good selection of just about everything but nothing for me that really stood out as unique. The tables in here are really just there so people dont have to sit in their cars or for people waiting for take out. No table cloths, nothing fancy and that's just fine. the food was good - but i ordered all dishes that were marked "spicey" and none of them were. they were all kinda bland. price was OK - i didn't think it was overpriced for the portion size and the 'quality'. is this owned by the same people that own the chinese take out by stop & shop or the one downtown? read more

The food was great. My favorite is the crunchy shrimp and boneless spareribs. The service is friendly and waiting for them to prepare the food is quick. read more

Taste, price, quality 5 stars - my wife usually stops here every Sunday after church and brings home a different meal. Everything that we have had from them is excellent. They also throw in extra food for large orders. Our favorite take out Chinese food restaurant. read more

Another hidden gem in the Tradewinds Plaza in Middletown. Their food has been consistently good every time we go there. The staff are super friendly! We're so happy to have them this close by! read more

I had held on to my restaurant.com coupon for quite some time, and frankly, the head honcho at China City was surprised to see it... "Oh man, we stopped selling those a long time ago..." Despite a little initial bewilderment, he was gracious and accepting of my $10-off-20 coupon. A very nice gesture indeed for a new customer. In Central Connecticut, there's no shortage of good cheap Chinese food, but there are also a handful of places you want to stay away from. Fortunately, China City is in the former category. Had an inexpensive, well prepared, tasty take out meal with the wife on a busy worknight. Wonton-Egg Drop soup, General Tso's chicken, Beef With Broccoli. Bizzam... good stuff. It's a glitz-and-glamour-free place, but you knew that. Certainly can't go wrong calling China City. read more

Ordered pork fried rice and wanted it spicy. Man said I will give you hot sauce.I said no I don't like hot sauce thinking I would get the hot chili oil. I got under cooked rice with some chili oil and a lot of hot sauce. I could taste the vinegar in the hot sauce. When I told them the rice was terrible the man got all upset with me and started yelling at me. I have eaten there many many times and had the rice before. Not spicy but the pork fried rice. It is always cooked great. I got the pork fried rice that is served with the combination specials. I know the difference. I will not be called a liar and will never go back. Oh he said he didn't want my money but I never got it back . read more

Foods solid, service is prompt. What more can you ask for in a Chinese food spot?

In a small strip mall on the outskirts of Middletown. Same shopping center as Uduphi Bhavan. Overall, nothing other than your standard Chinese take out. The inside isn't more than utilitarian. Not meant to sit down and have a relaxing meal. It's pretty much take out at this place. Lunch specials for $5. Pretty good bargain. Standard menu. I had the chicken with steamed broccoli and pork friend rice. Pretty good. read more

You see, this business has been around for many years and has been a strong contributor to the overall Chinese food sales in the community surrounding. I have dined here numerous times and every time it is consistent. I have always enjoyed this casual dining establishment. I recommend the Special Combination platters.. Specifically the C16 Combo. It comes with General Tso or Orange chicken as well as pork fried rice and an egg roll. Mmmm. read more

China City Restaurant - Boneless spare ribs - Chinese Near Me - Middletown, Connecticut

Always consistent and fresh veggies. Never any over fried, stringy chicken. So glad I found this place after trying a few Chinese places that were duds. read more

Pretty decent food. China city is where I tried Chinese food for the first time way back when. I have not been in a while because there are a couple Chinese places closer to me. I wanted to try something different tonight so I ordered from there. My wife and i split a general tso combo, crab rangoon, and beef sticks. I will say the crab rangoon and beef sticks were much better than what i have had at great wall on south main st. The general tso was decent, not as crispy as i like. I will also say the portion is smaller at china city than great wall. Overall, it was a pretty good. I would recommend it if you live on that side of town. The online ordering app is very easy to use, pretty much what all the Asian places in the area use it. read more

The Good prices and friendly service is not enough to save this place. I have had a few friends speak highly about this place so I gave it a shot. Ordered szechuan chicken and the wife had Sweet and Sour chicken. Also crab rangoon. The szechuan chicken was bland and flavorless, not even a hint of spice. The Sweet and Sour chicken was also bland. The crab rangoon was also ...meh. At least the egg roll was good as was the pork fried rice. But over all, it was a big disappointment. We normally go to Moon Star in Cromwell and really love their food, but didn't feel like going out there tonight. Lesson learned. You find a good Chinese food place, you stick with it. read more

Best chinese takeout I've found in Middletown. Try the beef in spicy garlic sauce , it's great! Prices are higher than other Chinese takeouts. read more

If only I lived closer. I've been coming here since I was a child. Won is amazing. He knows our family and always asks us how we are doing. He sometimes brings us special tea from China. Best General Tso's, Wonton Soup, steamed dumplings and crab Rangoon around!!!!! read more

Not bad . . . not outstanding. We order here for lunch when we're at the office. The food is pretty good and the portions are generous but it's nothing to write home about. read more

Found this place last night after leaving class at MXCC. Ordered the boneless spare rib combo and on a whim ordered fried wontons to share with the hubby. Fried rice wAs flavorful and ribs were not inedible pieces of jerky ( like my local place serves) The star of my meal was the fried wontons. These folded pillows of wrapper and meat were absolutely delish and I love how they give you a container of sweet and sour sauce which by the was is also not the watered down sauce (I get at the place in town). read more

My family and I love China City! It is a family-owned restaurant that makes their own dumplings, so both the spicy dumplings and the wonton soup are the best we've ever had. The orange chicken is fantastic, and I always order beef & broccoli which is very good. If you want to try this restaurant and at all like dumplings, please order some to try how amazing they are. read more

Yum. Best fast food Chinese in Middletown if you ask me! We ordered general tso chicken, chicken and broccoli, pan fried dumplings and crab Rangoon. Everything was delicious and fast. People there were very friendly too. I wish they delivered. read more

A great restaurant for a quick meal, lunch or dinner. It has authentic Chinese dish at low cost. I go there often. The staff there were extremely nice. I love the food there, I tried various dish, every dish was great. read more

I have nothing bad to say about China City. Not only are they friendly but the food is really great and the prices especially lunch can't be beat. I always get steamed broccoli and chicken for lunch and even though it's not on the menu they are happy to accommodate my order, and for $8, I get a large order of chicken and broccoli, pork fried rice, and an egg roll. I will admit that the dining area is not as clean as it could be, and the floor needs a mopping for sure. It's kind of cluttered in there as well but the cooking area looks like it is well maintained so I can't rip on them too much. It's a heavily trafficked Chinese restaurant given the local businesses that surround it but they do a great job and again are really nice people. read more

So when we lived 2 minutes away we ate here often, then we moved and tried this a couple years later, it was not good. Tonight (7-8-12) we tried China City and it was AWESOME!! We will be eating here again. read more

The best curry shrimp thus far. I was in the area and read a review. Had to try it. Good portion. Definitely have to try.

We love this place. It's not the best Chinese food you'll ever eat, but it's good, cheap, and fast. I highly recommend the 'house duck sauce' instead of the packets. read more
