If you are looking for some cheap Chinese food for a little under $10. China City on Princess Road sure did their thing,I went in and got the lunch special the sweet and sour chicken. The lunch special comes with your meal and a soda at no additional cost. Inside the restaurant was really clean and they had plenty of seats. The customer service was excellent the lady is super friendly and welcoming. My only complaint is that the chicken to batter ratio was off I wanted more protein than batter.

Tried to feed the economy during all this; ordered BEEF & BROCCOLI, A SWEET TEA, and BEEF Teriyaki sticks. I received chicken and broccoli, burnt black CHICKEN Teriyaki sticks no sweet tea and when I called to rectify I was told to return the burnt food during a pandemic which they can gladly have back but I don't feel like investing any more money into a business that can't own a mistake, they made. Be mindful as stated no chicken was even ordered..... The woman was rude hung up and told me she was to busy. Even though I often purchase from them. Never again. They may be trying to discard old food. I literally have the service on video, and the woman on video. They are discarding old food. Do not order; and I excepted way better considering the tips I provide. Lost this customer. For good. The delivery guy literally told me the chicken and broccoli was beef..... he didn't even have the tea on the first delivery attempt. Then was only refund $21 instead of the order total of 21.55 paid. By the time they got here no other other delivery options available. Oh and he took the entire order back... better don't hope you don't get the hand-me-downs wtw!!!

Szechuan chicken
Stephanie P.

My husband and I ordered the general tso and szechuan chicken combos and they were ok. The szechuan chicken was very brightly orange as you can see and the general tso was lightly battered. It didn't have that crisp crunch to their breading like I've had at other locations. I liked their pork fried rice. Overall, an ok place that we are glad we tried but we might keep searching for our new go-to in the future

Lunch specials... $5.35 with a can of soda!

As my Yelp elite friend, Kris D. said, this place is consistent! And tasty! Based on the tons of times my parents have ordered and had their food delivered, and the few times I've done pick up, this place is my favorite for fast Chinese. The selection is your usual...these are my favorites: Garlic Shrimp Sweet & Sour Chicken Gen Tso Chicken (of course) Shrimp & Mushrooms (brown sauce) Their prices? Average. But their lunch specials are so cheap and great! Their fries are also just so unhealthy and extra delicious! I always say that the best fries are from Mexican joints, but especially Chinese ones! Get 'em. YOLO. I'm sure I will continue to eat their food, because their # is pretty much on speed dial @ my parents house, which is 5 mins from here.

Cool fortunes I got at China City.

** Consistent! ** **Tasty!** **Fortune Cookie??!** Oh man, how long has this place been open? I have ordered food from China City for over 15 years myself. (My kids were 3 and 4 years old when I first took a picture of them chowing down on some China City food, they are now approaching 18 and about to move out. We ordered again 2 days ago and remembered back to memories of eating Chinese food over the years, which they love. --Oh, on the kids, they are over 6-foot tall now, I am only 5 foot 9... Was it the Chinese Food? ! Okay, let me get out of the personal story and into the review. Main thing about China City is the consistency of the quality of their food. It is always prepared the same, has not changed in 15 yrs. We order with 100% confidence we will get a GOOD meal! (Same cannot be said for some places). Food is great, Service in-store is great. The Delivery driver is great too. He has also been working there over a decade. -- If you live near this area off Princess Anne + Independence Rd in Virginia Beach, drop in + try them out! PS. The fortune cookie I got this last time was funny. It said on it only: "Relationships". -- I guess even Confucius has no advice he is willing to offer on that subject...

Chicken and broccoli
Xerxes N.

Typical fast food Chinese spot. It's in a fairly decent and safe shopping center. Look for Onelife Fitness. It's a few doors down. I didn't get the, "Oh crap. This place is nasty." feeling but it wasn't super clean either. Ya know, the former being an indication of where surprisingly good food comes from. Not too shabby of a serving for $6. Lunch special garlic chicken served with broccoli was generous in size. While chicken and broccoli appears to be a healthy dish there was just too much flavor to not think that either sugar or MSG was used in making this dish. It's Chinese fast food. What can you really expect? Then I walked next door and worked most of it off at the gym.

Time i called n order, called 2 find out where my food was. ANOTHER 30 min later I called 2 check again =nearly 2 HOURS!
Shelly C.

No, no, no.....just No! Ordered on Wednesday evening at 6pm, was told 35 min till delivery... I waited an hour - called, they said just a couple more minutes. Waited another half an hour, called.... Guy finally showed up...ON A SCOOTER... So nearly TWO HOURS for delivery less than 2 miles away. Our food was nasty... Broken sweet and sour sauce cup, busted chicken container, soggy ripped bag... Just a nasty nasty RED staining mess! All over my hands and counter... Nasty. They called me back to check if the delivery guy made it... I said yes and I that i was upset. She offered me $10 of my next order... Uh...NO! I told her thank you however I would NEVER EVER Repeat this mistake. As far as the food..... Greasy crab Rangoon's, mostly just breading on the sweet N sour chicken, if you can get past the old grease taste of the Rangoon's I think the cream cheese mixture inside would be tasty. the chicken mai fun was pretty good.. Fresh crunchy veggies, fresh noodles etc. But seriously Run people, just RUUUNNNNN!!!!!!

General Tso Chicken separate sauce.

General Tso's chicken is spicy but filling. Usually go to their sister place on Holland Blvd. Will…read morebe back. :~)

Let me start by saying I did have a good experience a week prior to the experience I am rating a 1…read moreStar. The Bourbon chicken was decent maybe a 3 star. A little over cooked but tasted good. The next week after the Boutbon chicken my husband and I grabbed some food. Generals Chicken and chicken and broccoli combo dinners. Both of them we got white rice. The generals was overcooked and dry. The 1 star comes more so from the chicken and broccoli. The broccoli was actually good and the sauce. However, it quickly takes a sharp turn to total barf. Not really sure what the "chicken" was??? I know there are jokes about Chinese food places using other mystery meats. Now I know what that is a question. The meat in question was just that unknown. We were eating it in the dark and I kept feeling the meat in my mouth as all fat like. I had my husband taste as I kept questioning and putting a flashlight on it to try and determine. He said "why did you just feed me a big piece of fat". I never said anything thing other than try this and tell me what you think. In the light it did NOT resemble anything but clumps of fat type globs. Trust me we were completely disgusted and it immediately, ALL of it went in the trash. Unfortunately I did not get any pics.
