China City Restaurant

We were in the area staying across the bridge from town and decided to grab some takeout grub.
General Tso’s tofu was fine, but not spicy as the menu stated. Simple diced, fried tofu in a sweet red sauce. Snow peas and mixed vegetables were simply OK. Vegetable lo mein was run-of-the-mill…nothing special.
This joint had food that we could get back in our home town, which I suppose is a good thing since Sidney, NY is a bit off the radar for us.
Average stuff here.

love china city. very friendl ystaff. food is tasty. portions are good. mostly a take out joint. but if you dont mind the typical chinese take out look nothing fancy. go grab a chair and be served!

Great food for a small town Chinese restaurant. Accommodating help too and hot tea and noodles free

China City is the Sidney Chinese restaurant that’s *not* in an old Burger King building.
This is a good thing.
It’s fine. Nothing crazy special. It is what it is. Mostly a takeout place — the inside lacks charm and comfort.
Most things taste good. Some items are a little too salty. I like the spicy Triple Delight (although it’s not that spicy). The chow mein is sort of yucky. Sometimes the chicken fingers are overdone. Some of the special items are an eensy bit pricey for what they are — over $ 10, I mean.
But sometimes the specials are totes worth a glance because they have crazy names — and charmingly misspelled descriptions. Like Buddha Jumped Over the Wall. There’s some mad narrative that goes along with that, and I would quote it if I had the menu in front of me.
They always say to pick up the items in 15 minutes, but if it’s a weekend, wait extra time before getting your food.
And if you spend a strange amount — like $ 23, then you can get, like, a free 2-​liter bottle of Dr. Thunder or faux-​Coke, etc.
