Best Chinese food in the city. Always the BEST service. We now drive from CBS to get this when we want to order.
Was visiting local friends who knew the Chinese couple who ran the restaurant. The portions were really large for a very reasonable price - we had a party of 6 adults and we ordered the combo dinner for 5 people and the portions were so large we only finished half of the food. The chow mein was good and the deep fried wonton skin was nice and freshly done. The broccoli and beef was delicious - flavorful and had enough "wok hey" (hahaha I dunno how to explain this in English other than to say it was flavourful). We learned that the couple wants to sell the restaurant to a good, hardworking, future generation trying to start their own restaurant business. We hope they find someone soon. 🙏
I love the food! It’s my absolute favourite Chinese restaurant in the city. I highly recommend their Special Dinner A with Beef and Broccoli.
Always hot, huge portions! Been having New City for years and have never had an issue!
A little bit too cool . The food made up for it all .I could not describe how delicious it was.and the portions were monumental. We had take out for the next day. Very nice lady who cooked and served.
Hot and fresh! Very generous portions. Ordered the Singapore noodles and combo (wonton soup, egg roll, rice, sweet + sour chicken balls and veggies) owners were polite and accommodating.
Good food , friendly service , small prices big portions amazing taste .
I love this place. Here, it is all about great Chinese food, ample portions and good prices. Yes, the dining room is pretty awful, but to me that's irrelevant. This small family owned restaurant offers infinitely better Asian food than any local buffet and you don't need to file for bankruptcy after. They are very friendly and kind, offering service with a smile. And dealing with Covid-19, they've stayed open and have a funny little toy truck to send food to you at the end of the counter. I love this intelligent distancing and good humour! Wonderful place and I can't say enough positive about every experience I've had here over the years.
Gave me food poisoning not once but twice. I guess it was my own fault the second time for trusting them after the first
Great food, huge portions and friendly staff
Not very clean looking, good serving of food, and food that I ordered was good
Very large portions friendly service.
Food was bland, and egg roll was definitely cooked in microwave . Over all bad experience and ended up sick afterwards
Excellent Chinese food off the Ala Carter menu . So much food I had left overs for two days. So good !
Best greasy American style Chinese food in the city. Its also cheap and portions are big. Highly recommend.
Terrible customer service! Delivered food over an hour late and wouldnt correct the issue when I called the store about it to have it replaced was told its too far to come to replace it..Do not recommended!! NEVER AGAIN Will I order from that store!! Food was not fresh and rice was dried up ..ordered here for years but no more
Loved their food.
Great food, large portions! Fast delivery and friendly staff!
Food is very good. Big portions for the price. Take-out is better.
Decent North American Chinese food, quantity is large. A dinner for 3 could have fed 5 easily. Dining room and building need maintenance, signage and building does not reflect quality of food.
Ordered vegetarian noodles and spring rolls, among other things. Drove across town to get it and once home, realized that they had given us two beef noodles instead. Called to complain and was told to pick the meat out . The meat is ground up into it. How exactly am I supposed to pick it out ?? As well, once I bit into my spring roll, quickly realized that that also had beef in it ?? Spring rolls are meant to be vegan. I don t understand. What s the point of even having a spring roll option if it s the exact same as your egg rolls ?? I have worked in food service for over ten years, and if you mess up someone s order, you correct it and/or offer a refund. ESPECIALLY when it comes to dietary and allergy restrictions. The refusal to give me a refund for food I cannot even eat is absolutely ridiculous. Customer service here needs to be fixed.
Visiting from Toronto and good lord is it ever awful. The food tastes like dirty tap water and is bland, overcooked and blasted in a microwave. Not sure if it s because we ordered later in the day but please do not eat from here. We ate three bites and threw it out as we are flying back out tomorrow and are scared of having food poisoning. PLEASE DO NOT ORDER HERE.
The best Chinese food. The best price and the largest portion size youve ever had.
Food and service are great.

Best Chinese food in the city. Always hot and tasty and you get a decent amount of food for your money. The owners are also always so nice and friendly. Dont let the looks of the place deceive you the food is delicious!
I have placed orders here twice, and both times they have messed them up. Today, I ordered chicken rice with specific orders stating a severe allergy to shellfish, and they brought me shrimp fried rice. Had I not noticed prior to eating this, this could have ended very badly. I will never order from this location again, nor will I recommend to any family or friends. When I called to inform the lady that I had to put this outside of my apartment as it cant be near me, she proceeded to yell at me telling me that I had to keep it until they came back to get it. NOT IMPRESSED.
