About Oriental City
At 19 The Grn in Lincoln, Oriental City is a village Chinese takeaway that opens in the evenings only and closes on Tuesdays. The menu covers special fried rice, chicken balls and sweet and sour chicken, which makes it easy to put together a full meal at home. Orders that pass a set spend come with freebies, so a larger order brings extras with it. Saturday evenings get very busy after 6pm, so placing an order early is the way to go on that night.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers split on this village takeaway, and the chicken balls show the divide. Positive accounts call the food nice and very good, with generous portions, friendly and quick service, and delivery that arrived as promised. One mentions freebies on larger orders, and another says Saturday evenings get very busy and suggests ordering early. Others describe a decline, with incorrect or missing items and an order delivered cold after first arriving early. One reviewer found every chicken ball pink and raw and was told it was different meat. One reports severe diarrhoea a few hours after eating a pancake roll. Special fried rice, prawn toast and sweet and sour chicken balls were called overpriced, though that reviewer conceded the food was nice. Another reviewer, after two items went missing, was offered them free next time, then says the owner insisted the food had been in the bag.
