Best Chinese in Belmont & Fordham
Master Critic Review
China City
8.0
China City sits between Fordham Road and Arthur Avenue with a menu of Chinese-American standards served in a slightly roomier setting than many nearby counters. It’s the kind of place where families mix combo platters, wings, and saucy chicken dishes at tables while regulars cycle through for takeout bags.

General Tso's Chicken, Honey Wings, Sesame Chicken
