China City — Restaurant in Town of North Elba

It was later in the evening and we were craving some quick food and did not want to sit down at a formal restaurant. Don't let appearances fool you. So this place is near the end or at the beginning of the main strip, depending where you start. I walked in and was little nervous. I looked around and saw some tables in the skinny dining area, menus off to the side and a window pane glass to the right with someone standing there and some cooks going to town cooking with the woks. I stood there for awhile and watched and was really curious and impressed. I have to give this place a shot. So you place your orders on the paper menus on the right, put your name on it and give it to the person behind the glass pane. (my order was to go, it may be different for dining in) The gentleman who was there confirmed my order and was very nice. Told me about how long it would take. (It was an appropriate time, seemed little long, but would be more concerned if it was too quick). I wish I had pictures of the food, it was delicious. Got the shrimp lo mein. It was packed in one of the little to go folding boxes, the fried wontons were great (kids loved them), hot and sour soup (could have been little thicker consistency), and Szechuan chicken (good). We were hungry, so at first was like it was so good because we were hungry. I went back the next day for lunch and it was same quality food. You can even watch the cooks cook the food on the flaming woks back there. Reasonable priced, great food. Just make sure to check your order. Staff was pleasant when...

DO NOT GO TO THIS RESTAURANT IF YOU HAVE A NUT ALLERGY. The kitchen was very careful in preparing a dish with no nuts. However, once the plates were placed on the table and the customers asked to confirm no nuts before consuming, they gave the customers extremely mixed messages. As a result, the customers did not consume their meal because they were scared of the possibility nuts were present (understandably so, as the allergy would have put a child into anaphylactic shock). Then, when asking the restaurant for a refund of the one dish, they gave me an EXTREMELY difficult time and wound up giving me what they called a "donation" (an amount of money of their choice) not the price of the dish that...

I ordered 4 things off of the menu and my total was just under $50. I was charged for items I did not order. As you can see by the photos, I ordered 4 items. They mistakenly marked another item and charged me for it. Even worse, our actual order was only 32.75 before tax. I payed 49.68. For 4 items (2 dishes 2 sides). Where did that last $17 mysteriously come from? Is each fortune cookie now $10 each?! I feel ripped off and disappointed. At least they are quick to make the food, but it’s not even worth the price. From now on, it’d be great to see an itemized receipt for all purchases. I feel...
