I heard this place in under new ownership so thought I'd try it out, it's worse than it's ever been. The only thing that was nice was the ribs, the other £60 may as well have gone in the bin. #Disgusting

Disappointing really. The ribs were just about ok ,but the Beef with Ginger and Spring Onion had zero ginger and no spring onions just loads of normal onions.The beef itself had a really strange texture. The egg fried rice was really bland, very little egg and no peas or flavour. I won't be going back.

Both of the meals were incorrect, I didnt recieved any black bean sauce with my beef dish as I was supposed to and the honey roast pork dish was chicken in black bean sauce. I have been issues a refund but I'm unsure if it is for both dishes. But I'd appreciate it if it was as they were both incorrect and it was disappointing to open my meal box to just beef on it's own with out the sauce and my brother was disappointed with his meal.being incorrect too.

Absolutely beautiful food! The wandering Dragon was a risk well worth it & worth every penny. Early delivery which was brilliant plentiful portions just spot on. Not given 5 stars as my fussy wife didn't really like the honey roast pork as it was a bit to dry, however the dogs loved it. I would order from here again - beats other takeaways on a Saturday night.

Brown food. This really wasn't great Chinese food. One of the options ordered was the mixed vegetables with cashews. There was a bit of baby corn, onion, bamboo shoots and water chestnuts - it really wouldn't hurt to put some greens in there, would it? Pak choi? Choi Sum perhaps? Another option ordered was the Szechuan beef, which should be a bit on the spicy side - this one wasn't. The beef was chewy rather than tender and also suffered from a lack of colour. Fried rice should be something that a Chinese restaurant can't get wrong. I'd put money on that the egg fried rice came from a packet of microwave rice. It can't be easy running a take away/restaurant but China City isn't doing itself any favours by serving up this stuff. I can't bring myself to eat from here again.

I would absolutely NOT recommend this place, food was mediocre but the real kick in the teeth was the customer service. Never have I had to deal with such unprofessional little brats before at a takeaway. Basic respect and manners for a paying customer would be nice for a start, and then I’m told that they don’t accept card payments. Who in this day and age doesn’t accept card, I mean barely anyone carries cash anymore. On top of this I ordered over the phone so you would think that if you don’t accept card you would tell me that over the phone. Then I’m told I have to bank transfer them which again, is very unprofessional and to top it off the 2 people behind the counter just burst out laughing for god knows what reason. Overall very unimpressed and I will not be eating or visiting here again.

In town for a couple of nights, so hit up China City for some delivery as not familiar with the area. I did call them to confirm my location, and they were very friendly on the phone. Food arrived within the time specified and it was hot and tasty! Chinese food can be hit and miss, with the different styles of cooking, but this food was just like home and tasted very light and fresh! Certainly not drowned in oil and heavy. I would certainly recommend China City.

Food was nice and initial delivery time was on time. However our sweet and sour chicken balls were missing from the original delivery. Called China City to say they were missing and to ask them to be brought to us or to have a refund. The lady we spoke to was very very rude. She said we would have to come out to get them from the restaurant. When we explained this wouldn't be possible she said she could arrange a 10% discount off our next order which is far less than the cost of the sweet and sour chicken balls or we could repay the delivery fee for them to be delivered. She laughed at us when we explained that a 10% discount would not cover the cost of the chicken balls. She also seemed insistant that we would have to pay for the delivery driver to come back out which felt unfair as it was an error on the restaurants end. It was challenging to get her to put us on the phone to her manager to discuss the issue. It took 6 minutes of arguing with her before we finally spoke to the manager. The manager fixed the issue quickly and was very amaicable and apologetic and said we could apply for a refund through Just Eat or wait an hour for the delivery driver to return and bring the chicken balls out to us. He apologised that it couldn't be sooner as all the drivers were out at that time. Eventually a delivery driver brought the chicken balls out to us but he didn't ring the door bell so we didn't hear him knocking. He then phoned to say he was there and apologised for the mistake. There was a fortune cookie in the bag with the chicken balls. The manager's response was great, however their front of house staff leave a lot to be desired. Won't be ordering from here ever again.

Out of the two servings only four were of eatable quality. The bag of chips were plentyful had they been hot were a meal on their own. On your note I entered. Disabled person, please knock lightly on the bay window, the proceed to the door press doorbell and I will be with you asap. This was totally ignored.

After a nice day out we decided to treat the family to a take away from China City. We placed our order at 7:16. I fully understand that Saturday nights are busy for most places and wasn't to surprised to find out our food wouldn't be with us until 8:25-8:45. We got the kids ready for bed and kept them entertained while we waited. At 9 I had to ring the take away to find out where our order was. The lady that answered the phone said that she'd had about 20 similar phone calls tonight, that she was sorry but there was nothing she could do, she assured me that our food was out for delivery, she did however take the time to thank me for my patience. I had to call again at 9:30 and asked if there was any way of contacting the driver to find out where he was. The phone was passed over to a bloke that told me my food was on its way, it wouldn't be long, but that the driver had had somewhere else to go first. By 9:45 with a hungry, tired and grumpy family we decided that we'd have to give up on our Chinese meal and nip out and get something quick, it was now past a couple of little people's bed time. Hey presto, there was a knock on the door. I should have refused the order but everyone needed feeding and it was getting way too late to go somewhere else, especially with food right there on the doorstep. Food was OK, not very hot though. Can't see us rushing back to China City the next time we fancy a treat Very disappointed

After reading a few negative reviews we were unsure whether to visit. However, after a days racing in York we returned to newark and decided to see for ourselves. We weren’t booked but were welcomed and shown to a table, there were plenty of other diners and the atmosphere was good. We opted for a set meal, all of which was excellent. Great service from young, pleasant staff made for a very enjoyable experience. We will no doubt be visiting again in the near future.
