China City — Restaurant in Saginaw

Used to come here at least every 3 weeks to a month 5 years back. Portions were great, food was great, and prices weren't bad at all. Nowadays they have small containers, higher prices, and as others have mentioned the dough balls and over breaded small bits. Usually goes something like this: bed of vegetables(to push up bread balls), Bread balls with a few good pieces here or there and the entire other half is your side; all for about 12 dollars in a small 32 oz(I think) rectangular to go container. Each Bread ball probably costs you about a dollar which pretty much sums up how many 'pieces' you get. I'll only come back at least once a year now for my favorite sauce when I get the craving, if I can find it elsewhere then I won't ever come back.

Try Park Asia down the road, not as diverse in the flavor department but at least they're not scamming you with a meal that should be 6 dollars at best.

btw, what's up with the kid at the register and phone? Sounds like he's either drop dead tired or just hates it there so much that he doesn't care. Sounded like a stereotypical food service teenager, kinda funny not gonna lie but it's hard to hear him on the phone he sounds so deadpan...

This was the first place to revolutionize Chinese in Saginaw. Back in 2006, tried a coworker's Orange Chicken because it looked amazing. It reminded me of the stuff I used to have in college in Ann Arbor at Dinersty. Was a favorite for many years until Park Asia opened and my family chose to go there instead afterwards but it stayed pretty good in spite of that. Went to vote on Monday and decided to try China City since I didn't have it in a long time. I could tell business had fallen off, they permanently did away with the buffet and things hadn't been updated in a while. I ordered and when I asked for Sweet and Sour sauce, they tried to charge $1 for it. I said no thanks. Got home and it was very obvious whoever runs this place doesn't care anymore. The Mongolian beef was this generic spicy beef mixed vegetables dish. I remember how complex it used to be. The dealbreaker was the chewy meat, like what you occasionally bite into when McDonald's had their old nuggets.

Just shut down and get it over with. Seriously....

I don’t know what happened between back then and now Because the customer service nowadays sucks. These people will lie to you just so that they can keep you from getting a refund or making an order altogether. I would never do online orders From this place. Make sure to call instead. The food has changed quite a bit from back then till now. If you like orange chicken, it’s more like orange breading barely any chicken inside. If you were to go to any other Chinese restaurant and order their orange chicken, everyone will taste differently obviously but you will know the difference because There would actually be chicken In your orange chicken when you order from any other place other than here. I used to love this place when I was a kid And I think the difference His ownership Or something because even the portions have changed not to mention the quality of food and customer service. This place used to be my favorite place To order from. Nowadays,...
