China City - Cooper City

I've been looking for an authentic Chinese food place in the last four years, China City doesn't disappoint! Fantastic flavors, fair prices and friendly staff. This is my new Chinese restaurant!

Absolutely love this place. The wings are so delicious and crispy, I?d rather come here than any other Chinese food place in town. The General Tso is my favorite meal to get as well, it?s like orange chicken but it taste like Home made orange chicken.

I?ve been going to this places for years. Honestly this is the best place to get awesome Chinese food and the best chicken wings in broward. Their best dish I always get is their General Tao?s chicken. You can order it in mild, medium or spicy. Also their chicken wings really should be called jumbo chicken wings because every time I get an order of them they are huge and perfectly crispy on the outside and very moist and juicy on the inside. I highly recommend this place for take out and/or dine in.

A little over a year ago, the old owner finally sold this spot. She was nice, but she had the habit of putting the ground pork on a tray on a table in the dining area while her family made dumplings with it by hand. Her son didn?t fill water glasses until asked, then he?d touch the top of your glass. So glad the new owners are clean and courteous. I visited tonight and the place had six out of nine tables filled with young families. They had a brisk and steady stream of takeout orders coming through. There was a young woman and a young man taking orders and being pleasant. Food came out quickly and was good. I ordered Cantonese Chow Mein, pan-fried. This dish requires the right type of noodles, cooked til al dente, then fried til the bottom of the noodles is light and crispy. This cake of noodles is covered with a gravy-soaked mixture of char siu pork (bbq pork, glazed with a five spice and honey mixture that varies from state to state), chicken, shrimp, snow peas, water chestnuts, baby corn, bok choy, broccoli and mushrooms. Tonight the gravy was just right, with just a hint of garlic, so you could taste the crispness of the noodles. The only complaint I had was the gravy was so good I wish there had been more of it. But they didn?t want to make the noodles soggy. All in all, I?m glad the new owners are hanging in there. It was time for a fresh change. Keep it up.

This restaurant is a disaster. The fried canton was lacking any meat, and when I ordered an egg roll, it came stuffed with shrimp, which is a problem since the person eating it is allergic to shellfish. I'm extremely disappointed. I also ordered broccoli with garlic sauce, but what I received was just a watery plate of old white rice. I won’t be coming back here; it’s no surprise that the restaurant was empty when I arrived.
