I'm still pretty salty about the change in ownership. I REALLY wish someone could tell me what happened to the former owners and the people who worked here who were so kind. I am so sad I'll never taste their chicken with hot garlic sauce and won-ton soup again!!!
To those fans of former China City, please note it is under new management and operating under a new name even though their external sign still says "China City." This review is for the new business which is called Szechauan Gourmet which also has a Cleveland location. (Hopefully Yelp marks China City as closed soon and update the info.)
I'm so so very sad that China City as I knew it is closed. When I walked in and realized it, I nearly cried. However, the boyfriend and I still gave the new business operating here a go. Ooolong tea still a plus. Wonton soup ok but not the flavorful broth it used to have. I asked if they had a garlic sauce that I could get with the chicken and snow peas, they said yes but when the dish arrived it had a white sauce, lacking in flavor. (Maybe a language barrier thing, I didn't get bent out of shape about it.)
The chicken was different, not great quality but tasted fine and the veggies were fresh. The fried rice was not very flavorful. The bf got General Tso's which was pretty tasty and he liked their hot and sour soup.
Overall, I was fairly put off by the new ownership but also the decreased quality of the food. Service was friendly. I could be convinced to give them another try but it's not likely to come soon with the other options in the area based on our last experience and the pain of remembrance.
