China City — Restaurant in Parsippany-Troy Hills

The food here is always fresh, always prepared exactly as requested (and we generally ask for a lot: vegetarian, extra tofu, no egg, no utensils, sauces, or cookies etc...). They are always polite on the phone, always done on time and handed over with a smile in a simple paper bag, well packed, and heaping, generous portions for a fair price. In the wasteland of Parsippany take-out this little hole-in-the-wall place shines bright. Nothing much to look at, yet the kitchen is run by hard working people who, day in and day out, consistently serve up tasty, fairly healthy food (albeit a tad salty, but that's a given with most restaurant food). What would we do without China City! We are so...

Been going to this place for many years and can't believe I have never reviewed it before. One of the best Chinese restaurants in the area. We have tried quite a few but always come back to China City. The food is fresh and tasty, portions are large and orders are ready when they tell you. Family that runs it is wonderful. They were closed during a good portion of Covid and we struggled to find an acceptable replacement. Judging by the lines out their door when they reopened many other people...

Lured in by the good reviews, but the simplest meal was inedible. Ordered shrimp fried rice but almost none of the shrimp were cleaned, so couldn't eat most of them. Didn't feel like cleaning my dinner while eating it either. Rice was dry and pretty bland.

If you don't want to clean the shrimp, don't cook them in the first place.

The egg drop soup was fine, but I'd pass on anything that you know requires any...
