Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often return for the generous portions, with the Singapore chow mein and the hot and sour soup named repeatedly, and the sweet and sour pork and sweet and sour chicken with proper pieces of meat close behind. Several say the portions stretch to a second day's meal, and the chicken balls are called huge. Delivery gets steady praise for arriving hot and quick, even on a Friday night, and a few mention free extras such as prawn crackers, spring rolls and a bottle of Pepsi Max. Reviewers also describe the prices as lower than elsewhere, with one noting a saving from ordering directly rather than through an app. Staff on the phone and the delivery driver are called lovely and friendly, and one reviewer says nut allergies were always catered to. The one critical review describes a dry chow mein and egg fried rice, salty curry sauce and chicken curry, bland lemon sauce, and under-cooked chips and chicken balls. Even so, one regular says nothing has ever been missed or wrong across about six months of orders.

“Chow main dry, curry sauce salty, chicken curry salty as well, chips and chicken balls under cooked, lemon sauce bland, egg fried rice also dry, so don’t bother”
- Sharon O'Connor
“Had a delivery from here when my usual one decided to close on Mondays. And boy, am I glad I stumbled across them. Cheerful, helpful, generous portions and extremely fast delivery time. Their prices are incredible (don't bother going through Just Eat as there a significant saving if you contact them directly). On top of all this, their food is to die for. Best Singapore chow mein I have ever tasted, and I've tasted a few. Thank China City...you now have a regular customer!”
- Shannon Quigley
