China City - LAKE PLACID

The Shrimp Pad Thai here is absolutely the best! It's perfectly seasoned and full of flavor. I haven't written a Doordash review since I arrived in Lake Placid, but this place definitely deserves one! My husband and I also really enjoy the vegetable egg rolls—they're fantastic!

Honestly, it was just okay. They didn't even include one of the things I requested, and I'm not from here, but the places around me are so much better. What a waste of 18 dollars! The food had potential, but the sauce was unpleasant and tasted like typical American food. The texture was chewy, and overall, it was just mediocre.

C26 Sesame Chicken was disappointing—overcooked and with a strange taste. I decided to try the lo mein for an extra charge, but I couldn't understand how anyone could enjoy it; the smell was terrible, and the flavor made me gag. It was reminiscent of what I would imagine a dirty floor would taste like. The #5 Fried Dumpling appetizer was passable—edible without the accompanying sauce, which was also unpleasant and tasted rancid. I really feel for locals looking for Chinese food; if this is their only option, it’s a shame. Additionally, I found it odd that the app required me to purchase water to place an order, but I thought, "Oh well, I’ll just drink it later since I’m staying in a hotel and have the Coke I actually wanted with my meal."

The C10. Boneless Spare Ribs wasnt eatable at all, its super salty to the point that I feel dizzy trying to swallow it.

I always get this, its great when I can tell its freshly made. I usually get with chicken or shrimp fried rice
