Food is hot, fresh full of flavor. The food to go box is HEAVY and packed with maximum food it can contain. China City does NOT play around with their quantities. The menu is faded so you know it's bussin, wife and husband bust their butt to bring quick and tasty service. Lots of space to eat inside but it's not for romantic date nights. Very clean. They sanitize floor to ceiling every night! read more

Ordered for pick up. Ready when promised. They do have some basic seating if you want to eat there but their business looks like it's mainly to go. Combination plate is a lot of food and I made a couple meals out of it. I got sweet and sour chicken with pork fried rice. I really like their rice which had little chunks of pork and peas and carrots. The chicken was good but I was expecting chunks of pineapple and carrots which most places add. Chicken had good flavor and they give you lots of sauce for dipping. Egg roll was large and full of flavor. For the price it's a really good deal and yummy. We also got beef and broccoli. Neat was tender and broccoli has some crunch to it. read more

Located off of Ladson Rd in an easily accessible area, China City has decent enough food to warrant repeat visits. That said when I came into the store it wasn't so pleasant with water all over the broken tile floor, the minimalist décor and seating options. It's like the tables are just there to let people sit while waiting for their food. That said, the cashier/owner was extremely friendly and quick to greet me. This visit, I decided not to indulge in any appetizers rather focusing on main course. Just to note it up front the food is extremely well priced with many dishes like fried rice having options for amounts. I rather liked that as it gave me a chance to sample a lot of food without having to get dinner portions. The review I'll start with the pork fried rice. I'm not sure why, but there was a musty smell to it, like it picked up a funk in the fridge (most fried rice is cooked the day before and held in a fridge over night to allow crystal formation leading to a more absorbent rice the next day). The rice was cooked perfectly however I would have preferred a little more egg and small veggies like peas in it. The pork was salty perfection and almost unctuous to the mouth. It was a decent dish but not stellar. The beef and broccoli lost me. The beef had little flavor and extremely chewy, perhaps by not adding baking soda to tenderize the meat. The broccoli was extremely stiff and could have used a little more cooking time all while the sauce wasn't very flavorful. I was so looking forward to this dish too. Next up was the Lo Mein. I wish restaurants would be more consistent as these noodles weren't plump round but almost ramen and slender like. While this may sound trivial the shape of food makes a different in flavor. For instance, elbow macaroni doesn't taste like spaghetti even though they're the same ingredients. That's because it hits the taste buds differently and tricks our minds into thinking it's a flavor rather than texture. Finally, and I noticed this off the bat, is great Chinese restaurants have a slight smoky flavor to Lo Mein and fried rice among some other dishes. This is subtle yet can really elevate the dish and it comes from a wok that's been seasoned for years. I know I'm nitpicking here but these things really make a difference. Overall, the dish was average but enough shrimp were in it to make it cost feasible and lots of cabbage and carrots. The final dish was the Mei Fun which I absolutely loved as it was very close to traditional. Thin rice noodles like vermicelli are cooking without any kind of sauce to note while plenty of onions, carrots and eggs along with the meat are present. I'm still not sure why they skipped the green onion tops and bean sprouts as that's almost the star of the dish. Still, the dish was cooked perfectly and I enjoyed it. Overall, China City is an above average Chinese restaurant with traditional fair. While all the food doesn't hit the bullseye, it's not that far off, just personal knit picking on my part. Well, besides the chewy beef and musty rice. The people are nice and while I think the inside of the restaurant needs some TLC, if they're business is 90% delivery then it's a moot point. The food is the star and it's not bad. Give it a try if you have that itch! read more

It's hard to get egg foo yung. This was good, as was the sauce .Vegetable fried rice was great.

Average Chinese food, friendly service. The inside of the business doesn't look like much but the food makes up for it. The fried rice was good. The first time here I had the popo plater which I found was tasty I'm just not crazy about the shrimp toast, I am use to getting fried shrimp but other than that it was good. The next time I had the shrimp lo main which was good read more

I've been here several times for takeout, and it's never disappointed. The food is always hot and fresh, tasty, and generally ready for pick up within 15 minutes of placing your online order. I've had the general Tso's chicken as well as the pineapple chicken, which basically tastes like the general tso's only with pineapple chunks added. The fries rice is always good, and so is the lo mein. The combo meals come in reusable containers too so that's a plus. I wouldn't sit inside to eat, but that's just because it's not really set up for it. The guy at the register always seems happy and nice too. read more

It was very tasty good fried chicken crispy ASH and the shrimp been good too but just less onions more shrimp cause 5 shrimps was not enough but very good friend shrimp was delicious and crispy also super fast service 10/10 recommend my friendssss read more

China City is the best Chinese buffet between Summerville and Charleston. There is a wide selection of food items, always served hot and tasty for under $20. The service is always attentive and the ambience is enjoyable. There is also a Mongolian bar complete with a soup bar. There is none better than China City in Summerville. read more

I love this place. The food is constantly good. I work close by, and Ive eaten there at least 100 times. Ive tried it all, and never been disappointed. They stay open from dawn till dusk. It sounds weird, but I sometimes I drive across town to get their chicken wings. I can't explain it, you'll just have to try them.... They are the absolute shiz! They go down Perfectly with some franks or texas pete. Not going to lie, I sometimes order a entre, then put in 3-4 orders of chicken wings to snack on later... Also, I know the man and woman that work there. Im so glad their business made it through the pandemic. I literally had anxiety during that whole period of time over concerns that I would have to find another chicken wing supply. In summary, this is not only the best Chinese food in summerville, but in all of the Carolinas. Prices are right. The people are nice. Service is fast and smooth. read more

4.5 Solid place with its own personality. No you probably wont ever want to dine there. My thought is, it always tastes fresh to me.

Ordered via phone for delivery. Was surprised how quickly it came! Everything was real hot and order was accurate. We order from here quite often. Got my usual Kung pao chicken combo. Saved most of it for the next day as usual. Got a shrimp egg roll for a change and it was very tasty and crisp. Great place.fpr Chinese food read more

The food is good and the service is great. They are always super friendly and fast. My son even eats something he never would eat!! This is huge for him. It's becoming a weekly thing for us. read more

They said they never received anything order for sweet and sour shrimp combination. So I never received my order

My daughter and I stopped by here to order take-out a few weeks ago. We ordered sweet & sour chicken, pork fried rice and some spring rolls. They said it would take 10 minutes but it was much quicker than that. Food was still hot when we got home, tasted great and we still had some left over for the next day's lunch. There are tables and chairs in the restaurant but nobody was eating in - I think they mainly deal with deliveries and take-out. Employees were friendly. read more

China City - Sweet and sour chicken,pork fried rice and a spring roll - Chinese Near Me - Summerville, South Carolina

Phenomenal Chinese centric food in the scope of Summerville. Service is quick and welcoming. The atmosphere is completed with regulars that consistently return for their well cooked Chinese rooted dinner. Some regulars return more so for the employees that are well know for their communication skills ranging from Spanish to English, as well as their long time commitment to 15+ years of giving quality work everyday to people of all different backgrounds. read more

We came in for a bite to eat before our movie and thought it was a bit pricey... then we got our food. $10 gets you a full box of meat and broccoli and a plate of rice. Would recommend one meal split between two people honestly. Only problem for me was the cleanliness of the tables. The table we sat at was sticky and some nearby tables were dirty as well. Other than that it was awesome! Picture I took was after we ate half of our food! read more

The best Chinese cuisine I've had in the area! Egg foo young, chicken lo mein (add spicy), and wonton soup was a perfect dinner with plenty of leftovers and the best bang for the buck! I will definitely be coming back here for more, 10/10 recommended read more

Excellent food and one of the only places that delivers. I've had their food before and have enjoyed it but I was worried based on the Yelp reviews. I ordered Wonton Soup which was flavorful and the wontons had just the right chew, the Triple Delight w/Scallions which had perfectly sizzled and well seasoned shrimp, chicken and pork and Beef with Broccoli. read more

Would give o stars if i was allowed to. Rude customer service and food has no taste. Don't waste your money. Find a different place to eat. AVOID AVOID AVOID read more

This is my favorite Chinese place to eat. I am from Buffalo NY and this is the closest to home.

This is the typical Chinese chain type generic menu place. It's not great food but the delivery service is on point and fast. If I'm sitting at home in a lazy mood not wanting to cook, get up, or drive for pickup, I will alternate between China City and Pizza delivery. I mean Chinese and Pizza places are the only delivery options near me. I could order through Door Dash but relying on Door Dash is like riding with a drunk driver, who knows if it will actually reach its destination intact, if at all. So I order from this place. read more

Anyone can say what they want about Chinese restaurants in strip malls, but those are probably the same type of people that think P.F. Chang's is authentic and worth $25 for lunch for one person even though it comes out of a package... This place is great for what it is! Yes it's in a strip mall, but they're always fast and very rarely have a had an error in my order, which was not a big deal. (Beef instead of pork which they offered to re make but it didn't bother me). Delivery is always quick and the food is great for the money! Yes it's not some Asian gastropub or fusion place, but if you're spending $7 for lunch, you can't logically expect that.. Try this place out if you want good Chinese food with no frills, served fast and hot for a decent price. If you want to overpay and get a cloth napkin with your sesame chicken? This isn't your place. read more

terrible customer service!!! lied about being a call center so there were no one to speak to. the person that answered was rude and had no knowledge of how to place an order. very disappointed!!!!! read more

Best I've had in a while, reminds me of what Chinese food used to be like back in the day. Great prices as well, this is now my go to spot. The chicken actually taste like chicken, everything is cooked well could use a little more flavor with their rice but nothing soy sauce can't help. read more

Always high quality food for a affordable price. You always receive your order fresh.

First time ordering here.....My hubby found this place and he recommended that I should try it since he said it was good . Coming from Texas it's kinda hard to find a good Chinese place, you just have to try and take that chance... Looking from the outside, it was pretty slow and the plaza was kinda cold. But once you come in, they are pretty busy taking delivery orders. And we were the only customers who walked in at that time. We ordered house fried rice, chicken lomein, and something else that I can't remember, lol .... Anyways, it was pretty good and they do packed the container to go box. Therefore we had left overs for the next day. The service was pretty quick while we waited for our food to go. And it was still hot when we got home. I will try to order delivery next time. Hopefully I won't be disappointed.... read more

I have to admit, I've never eaten in at China City but can attest to the speed and efficiency of their delivery service - especially compared to other Chinese delivery places out here. When we first decided to give this place a try, I was super skeptical since it was my husband's pick. And looking through their menu, it was almost identical to other restaurants in the area. **** Full Disclosure: I lived in Hawaii for 12 years and then on Guam for a year and a half - "typical" American Chinese restaurants are entities with which I am becoming re-acquainted. So seeing the same EXACT menu offered at multiple Asian food restaurants (and the same goes for Hibachi, etc) is still strange to me. **** Nevertheless, he swayed me with positive yelp reviews so I agreed to ordering - and I'm SO glad that I did! We've only ordered from there twice but I still have yet to be disappointed. We've tried the Fried Chicken Wings (I'm a sucker for Chinese restaurant fried chicken wings), house special chow mein, sesame chicken, and the Dragon and Phoenix (General Tso's chicken and Shrimp w mixed vegetables). Overall, I've been more than pleased with everything we tried and though we try not to order-in too often, China City is our new go-to Chinese Delivery! read more

Ok this poor place doesnt get the credit it deserves. First off its in a HORRIBLE location so understandable why nobody has reviewed this place and this places isnt the nicest by any means but coming from CA.. the best places are holes in the walls. I had the Lo Mein combination. I liked the food the amount of food was great prices were nice and service was quick. Best place in the area better so far that I know of except Yummy Yummy off of Dorchester and Ashley Phosphate. Anyways give them a shot dont judge the book by its cover. read more

Food taste good but customer service is horrible. This is my third and last time coming here. Feel like when I come in they don't need my business. I came in no one was here but the lady seemed like I was bothering her when I placed my order. Last time it was the same thing so I thought she was this way with everyone, but someone she knew walked in and the lady's entire demeanor changed she was smiling and held a conversation. All three times she's very short and curt. Customer service goes a long way because there's a bunch of Chinese restaurants in this area. read more

First and last time visiting. Ordered the sampler platter of apps. The ribs are flavorless, the shrimp toast very greasy, the wontons soggy and the teriyaki beef smelled like fish. The egg tolls were decent. Also got honey chicken which probably would be fine for a child who wanted sweet and sour chicken that had honey instead of the traditional sauce. The general Tao chicken was slightly better. We usually go to Chinatown in Summerville. It was giving them a trey since it's closer. Wish I had just stuck with Chinatown and not had to pay more for less food that I couldn't eat. read more

I will never order from here again. The owner can barely speak English and she is very rude. I placed a large order. When I received my food there were a few things missing. When I called back to get the items I was missing. The owner was very rude and instead of solving the problem the owner wanted to charge me again for something that I had already paid for. She also wanTed to argue back and fort. The food wasn't even good enough to feed to a starving dog. I would advise you not to eat at China City they have the worst customer service and the food SuckZ. Please don't waste your money or time here at China City . read more

Yeah not sure why people are knocking this place? We ordered delivery which was recommended by others. Food was good arrived hot. Hot and sour soup wasn't bad just needed more heat. Beef fried rice was decent not that nasty stuff you find on buffets. General Taos was good quality just needed more heat. Egg rolls were ok but I would try the veggie ones next time. Will be ordering from here again. read more

I will never order from them again. The guy who delivered the food put our security camera in his pocket. He had second thoughts after he got to his car and checked it out, and then he put it on an ant hill on the other side of our car. Everything was recorded and given to the police. He was given a Notice of Trespass. The police officer informed us that it was the owner. We have ordered from them for years. The security cameras were new. This awful experience was an eye opener. Be safe out there.These are what some of the people delivering your food are capable of. I am a huge fan of security cameras and have them everywhere now. This guy was recorded on multiple cameras that were just purchased the previous month. read more

To start off, I ordered the vegetable fried rice, shrimp lo mein, shrimp chow mein, and curry chicken combination platter. Compared to other chinese takeout places I have eaten at before, I can immediately notice the better quality of the food. If a restaurant messes up something as simple as fried rice, I know the rest of the menu is going to be along the same lines, if not worst. The delivery was expedient and the prices are fairly average as well. Also, reheating leftovers can be a clear indicator on the quality of the food, especially when it comes to fried rice. Fried rice that seems dry and crumbly after a reheat is quite disappointing but the food from here that was reheated was fine. read more

We order from here a couple times a month. And every time, we go, they ALWAYS leave out the egg roll that is supposed to come with our meal. My husband is too nice to go and say something but this is my platform and dammit, THEY NEED TO DO BETTER. read more

Excellent take out Chinese. Quick delivery and pleasant staff. Everything tastes freshly made to order. Egg rolls were NOT greasy nor were the dumplings. This will be our go to for Chinese takeout. read more

I have to agree with Kevin G. This place deserves more credit. The food is really good. The location stinks, but they deliver so that's not a big deal to me really. This is our 'go to' chinese restaurant when we don't feel like cooking or going out. The delivery is freaky fast too! read more

Very good. I just tried them for the first time. I had delivery. Very GOOD! The egg drop soup was tasty the sweet and sour sauce be ry nice! The fried rice was great. This is a must go to! or order from! read more
