★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Kathryn Backman · Feb 2022

Worst Chinese I've ever had. Giving it an extra star since the service was good. Seriously BAD FOOD. The eggrolls are bland; it's like they have one ingredient in them. The crab rangoons- I had to throw them out after one bite! They were....grainy and slimey... like they were made with tiny bits of dry cottage cheese. The general tso should be a safe bet but no. The sauce is plainly okay (though it is very thick and gooey and they give you far too much of it) but the chicken they use has a thick, rubbery layer of bread and the chicken itself is sparce and dry. Definitely avoid this place.

Lion City has been there for many years - and offers a unique homemade sauce on their BBQ ribs. They offer standard Chinese food.. See photos. I think they make the best wonton soup around. The staff that works there is very pleasant, and Ming the owner will go out of his way to make you happy. Food is good.

★★★★★ 5.0 Annette McKitrick · Oct 2025

We have been going to Lion City for 30 years and in my opinion it is the best Chinese restaurant in the area. We love it. Best fried rice ever!

★★★★☆ 4.0 Kenneth Starkey · Oct 2018

Food is good, found this spot while driving. there isn’t a dine in just take out only. not the cleanest place i’ve been.

★★★★★ 5.0 Darren Frith · Feb 2025

This is hands down the best Chinese restaurant in the area. My wife and I are very picky about food, she calls us “foodies”. It’s worth the 20 min drive from Killingworth. The veggies are alway fresh and the flavor is fantastic. The portions are also VERY generous.
