China City 26 High Street, Purley CR8 2AA

"If read the reviews I would not have eaten here at all honestly. I was skeptical when I pulled up outside this place as it’s on a back road however kids where hungry and it was a Sunday so wanted some proper Food. China city was well worth it food was cooked to perfection seasoned well good customer service and quick. A lot of bad reviews but mostly about their customer service and timing as I went on a Sunday maybe I got the calmer staff either way flavours where 10/10."

"Ordered a 1/4 duck delivered on Deliveroo. Duck meat was discoloured/green. Chucked it straight in the bin."

"Food just about warm, had to be reheated. Random uncooked chips in Malaysian curry. Not just 1 or 2 either but quite a few like they were trying to bulk out the dish. Salt and pepper chicken had no taste of salt and pepper and batter was so pale I'd argue that it was only in the pan for a few seconds, was also soggy. This was the same for the chicken wings as well. All disheds had no flavour to them at all and were very bland. Tried to call restaurant to complain but couldn't even get someone to answer. Will NEVER order from here again."

"I’ve ordered from China City Kitchen a number of times the food has always been piping hot, good portion size and very tasty. I understand that they get extremely busy on weekends so am always fine if it is later than advised, however when is over an hour late it is not acceptable. The staff were polite when I called to see where my order was 1hr 20 after I placed it. I was told it was on its way. After another 20 minutes waiting I called again, staff were polite and apologised telling me it hadn’t been cooked as it had been too busy. I appreciate at times it is busy, however I do not appreciate being told my order is on its way when it’s not even been cooked and the fact I had to keep calling to find out where it was. I think in future I will have to look at other options in the area on weekends as it seems peak times they are not the best."

"Initially we found this place and food was good. My daughter found egg shells in her rice which was the most disgusting thing you can find whilst eating. I thought nothing of it as we always order from there. I then opened a second portion of rice only to find more egg shells. Not just a piece, actual pieces of the shell. It had to been at least half of the actual egg shell in my order. This has to be the most sickening sight. I then called the restaurant the next day just to politely inform them as this is my usual shop. The lady on the phone then told me there’s nothing they can do because I didn’t return the food…Im sorry what!!! This experience has really put me off eating this type of food again. Will not be ordering from here again!"
