China City in Lake Placid

DO NOT GO TO THIS RESTAURANT IF YOU HAVE A NUT ALLERGY. The kitchen was very careful in preparing a dish with no nuts. However, once the plates were placed on the table and the customers asked to confirm no nuts before consuming, they gave the customers extremely mixed messages. As a result, the customers did not consume their meal because they were scared of the possibility nuts were present (understandably so, as the allergy would have put a child into anaphylactic shock). Then, when asking the restaurant for a refund of the one dish, they gave me an EXTREMELY difficult time and wound up giving me what they called a "donation" (an amount of money of their choice) not the price of the dish that was ordered.

I go here after many hikes in the area and usually have a good experience. Today, we ordered and the portion sizes were all wrong, and the food tasted terrible for both of our meals. Pretty disappointed.

Tasty and filling, plus a wonderful price

Good food, amazing people, and fast service.

Place is DISGUSTING! Food was just ok but they forgot an item. When I called all of a sudden NO ENGLISH. Spoke pretty good when I was there. Told me to come back tomorrow. I told him I was leaving in the morning. He ripped me off.

The food was not cooked properly, the service was terrible, and the establishment did not even provide the appropriate utensils.

Good variety. Quick service. General Tso is good. House pad Thai was also good

Mediocre Chinese. Probably the best in lake placid, but not great. Food was good. But nothing exciting.

Every time I come it's the best, very friendly people and a nice view I love China city

Can I just say it, Crab Rangoon 😋😋😋

Awesome food and friendly staff, a bit out of the way though.

Delicious food. Vegan friendly

Great Eggroles and excellent beef lomain. Didn't know this place existed in Lake Placid

Best I've had ever and such, such good prices

We were walking by looking for a place to eat and stumbled across China City restaurant. We ordered fried rice and a sweet and sour chicken dish and the quality was very poor!

Typical Chinese restaurant, usually quick service, crab rangoons are very good. Parking on street can be a nightmare on busy weekends. Only grief I have is they can't accept local Community Bank Debit cards, been like this for a long time now and they still haven't fixed it, I'd imagine it would take one call to their credit card service company to get new machine. It's a pain to have to put the food on a credit card.

Number 1 Chinese Restaurant is better in Saranac-Lake but these guys seem to improve over time hopefully one day it would be a great place.

Food is decent. Cooked differently than what I was used to from other Chinese take out spots. Lots of sauces are used.

Been coming here for year's really great food good people

Food was really good until I found a piece of steel wool about an inch big in my beef and broccoli combo plate. :( not gonna complain because I feel it will be kinda worthless but wanted to share this so others can keep an eye on the food. Other than that foods taste was on point and it was ready quickly.

Love this place best around for miles

Decent Chinese for quick and cheap eats.

Ordered the Singapore Rice Noodles for take out and loved every bite of it.

Such good food and friendly staff!!!

Amazing as always

The food and service were exceptional!

Nothing special about this place, but wasn't dissatisfied with anything. Friendly people and food was ready for pickup in a timely manner

The food here is always good. Best Chinese we've had.

Good fast food style Chinese food. Definitely better than the average take out place and prices are great.

Not bad for a late night take out,chef was friendly and cashier was nice and informative

Excellent authentic Chinese food for a very reasonable price in a town that is very expensive.

Not very attractive dining room, but their food is very tasty! My favorite vegetarian options include sesame tofu, general twos tofu, moo shoo gai pan (mushroom,cabbage, hoisin mixture with rice wraps), and veggie fried rice. Their menu is extensive so I’m sure you could find something you’d like. Take out is super fast, usually 10-20 min tops.

Foods ok but the woman has a nasty mean streak,

Favorite NYC style chinese restaurant. Best crab rangoons around. Delivery is usually unavailable to most typical sized orders, but they will cater lunches snd dinners with a minimal purchase required for delivery to be arranged. Easy enough to do take out. They have been a staple of main st lake placid for years and years. A decade plus. Thanks guys for all you do to keep us full.

Very unfriendly people. Was not made to feel welcomed or my business was important.

Mediocre food...rough attitude!

Great service

Love the bok choy and black bean sauce. Its a custom item.

Good Soup try House Special

Kind people and lovely aesthetic. Best Chinese food I've ever eaten. Not usually too busy so seating and service is quick. Wholesome family 10/10

Amazing food at a great price! The General Tso/Tao’s chicken and pad Thai were the best I’ve ever had! Storefront wasn’t the most appealing, but overall a great restaurant. Highly recommend!

Tolerable for north country Chinese cuisine but there is better in Saranac Lake eg. China Jade, never the less if in a pinch a good place for a bite before the movie across the street

Great food, my family gets take out here regularly

I love their food it’s delicious and I love the customer service that’s really great

Great food

It's was just like a regular Chinese fast food place.

Good food, predictable quality and taste. Exactly what we were looking for. Great prices for the area!

Food was great

Was a simple Chinese food. Nothing great about the place. Food taste avg, portions were pretty good, not many veggie options though, in case anyone expecting one. Not too pricey. They have a decent seating area but, we decided to takeout. They gave plates, spoons, forks for convenience

Great place. Came here with some buddies for food after a long day of dayhiking. Ordering was usual, and the waiting time for our food was short. Our food was even delivered to out table! The restaurant has a clean restroom. The asthetics are awesome. There's a huge mural and the furniture just give out nice vibes.
