Hands down the best Chinese food in Gastonia! We have been coming here since I was just a kid! The food and service is the most consistent I’ve ever seen! The owners are hands down the friendliest couple I’ve ever met! The food is always fresh and amazing and full of flavor! Hopefully they are here for many more years!

Y’all, I gotta brag about my favorite Chinese restaurant. China City off Davis Park Rd in Gastonia is hands down the best Chinese restaurant EVER! Tina is the best, we talk every time I come pickup food and she is always a friendly heart that I can share my ups and downs with. She was an ear after I lost my dad and always checks up on me and my mom when I stop by. I got this little gift in my food bag and I just have to brag. This bowl is so gorgeous! I’m serious when I say they make the bestest, freshest, most delicious Chinese food. The chicken wings are the sooooo good, you might fight somebody to get more! I love their terriyaki chicken on a stick and their Chow Mai Fun, which is a rice noodle dish . My husband loves their Human Shrimp . China City is more than a restaurant, they are our friends and a staple of the community. If I had the money, I’d eat there every day. Stop by next time!

I love this place. I grew up eating here, back when Bilo was open next door to it. They have delicious food and their egg rolls are so good. I love their food. Also, they have incredible fried chicken and fries.

So I’m wondering where the taste buds of the people who left positive reviews are. Because I can honestly say this is the worst pork fried rice I’ve ever had. I mean, it’s palatable if you’re hungry, but if I want to enjoy good fried rice , this isn’t it. First, it’s not cooked completely, so yay for eating semi-hard, raw rice . Secondly, it definitely seemed they just put the pork on top of an already half-made fried rice . I found myself using ALOT of the duck sauce and soy sauce.
The rice was with the butterfly shrimp ; the breading is by far one of the worst I’vehad, and to add, how does fried shrimp actually get mushy internally? I ended up throwing away the five shrimp that were left because I couldn’t handle the mushy mess. I also wasn’t sure the egg roll that came with my husband’s order would be good, so that went in the trash as well.
My husband had the General Tso’s chicken and pork fried rice . We asked for it extra spicy, extra sauce, and um, the spice is a joke. He said the General Tso’s was subpar, something you would eat if you were starving.
We had fried cheese wontons that tasted as if they were reheated in a microwave. You know how breading, like on pizza or bread in general, gets chewy when heated in a microwave.
I feel bad for having to write this review, but I don’t only post negative reviews. I post honest reviews that tell you the good, the bad, and the ugly, and I can honestly say this restaurant is now on my list of places I will “NEVER GO” again.
When my husband went to get the food, I’d say at least they were very nice. The restaurant itself could definitely benefit from some repairs. But if the food is of such low quality, I would definitely focus on that.
So, yes, this is my honest review and opinion.

We decided to order Christmas evening and they were swamped! Worth the wait tho. 1and half hours behind in the kitchen. Business was very good. Shout out to the staff for their hard work!

Service was great, food is great…they even called a customer who had dropped their card and forgot it so the customer wouldn’t be frantic about loosing their card! I like things like that, well done!

I gave this 2 1/3 stars because the beef and broccoli and shrimp egg rolls was fantastic! However, shrimp fried rice tasted like they warmed it up in microwave. It never touched the wok. They put broccoli in with my general Tao’s chicken which was not good. Since the place had 15min to make my food before they closed at 9pm on a Saturday- I gave them benefit of doubt.
They forgot to give me soy and sauce for egg rolls. I was Disappointed that they said they didn’t have eggs to make the shrimp egg foo young ( which is why I came there for). Poor customer service.

My husband and I got crabmeat and cream cheese wontons, orange chicken, and sweet and sour chicken. Everything was hot and fresh and THE BEST takeout Chinese we have had in awhile. We will be back!
