City One Albans Reviews
The food is amazing. When I took the first bite of the sesame chicken, my mouth watered. The sweet (not too much) tangy chicken made me yearning for more, yet it was not done, the combination with the white rice complimented it nicely. Not only was the food good, but it came fast. After I finished reciting my order, it took two minutes for the meal to come. This is so inscrutable to me it is almost like they read my mind. During those two minutes, I had a wonderful conversation with the cashier. She very understanding, and when she laughed; her smile was infectious. This was not the first time I have come here. The delivery was speedy. When I was waiting/watching for the delivery driver, I thought the 60mph car was my driver. On the delivery app, the city one biker seemed to go 20 mph minimum.
Honestly, I didn’t have high expectations at first. I ordered Kung Pao chicken something I’d never tried before and when I saw peanuts and carrots in the dish, I thought, This is going to be a mess. Plus, I was already in a bad mood thanks to the MTA. Every station had delays, and the whole day felt extra draining. I figured I’d try the food anyway, expecting the worst (kind of like the day before). But once I actually started eating and gave the dish a fair chance, I was really surprised. The flavors were well-balanced, and the ingredients came together much better than I expected. For a first time trying Kung Pao chicken, it was honestly impressive. I’d rate the food at least an 8.5 out of 10. The service was also a highlight. The woman at the counter was super helpful and friendly. I asked if she could refill my water bottle with tap water, and she helped without hesitation. Wait time was short too—about 5 minutes. For just $10 in Manhattan, it was a great experience. I’ll definitely be back to try something else next time!
Ordered for delivery, the guy over the phone was rushing to take the order. The food is EXCELLENT. I ordered Vegetable Lo Mein with General tos chicken. The chicken was crispy, the portion was enough to feed 2 people. I also ordered shrimp fried rice and chicken wings, the chicken was amazing, very crispy, seasoned well and not too big and not too small. I have always passed this Chinese restaurant and today was the delay I decided to order. This will be my new go to Chinese
Very quick, tasty and excellent service. I ordered the sesame chicken, shrimp fried rice, egg roll and fried dumplings with iced tea to wash it all down. Everything was on point, I found my new go to Chinese restaurant when I’m in the area.
For many years, I lived across the street from this hidden gem -- and took it for granted. The food is always quick, fresh and delicious, and the people are always friendly. After I moved out of NYC, I came to realize how difficult it is to find truly good Chinese food. I've moved back now, and they're as good as I remember. Do yourself a favor and give them a try, if you haven't. You'll certainly become a regular. There are many great items on the menu -- do some exploring.
I'm a native Los Angeleno, and fi ding good Chinese food in NYC was kinda tough. BUT THIS PLACE: I- ITS GOOD + they give A LOT of food during their Lunch Special!!! I got the L.31 + I still had half left over in the container 🤩👌

Although they got my order wrong the food was very good. I don't mind traveling the extra blocks to come back here again. There is another Chinese restaurant closer to me but for the exception of one person the staff are very rude and the food is so-so.
I’ve been going to this place since I was 6 I am now 15 and their food is AMAZING. Every time I go here I make sure I get a plate of sesame chicken and pork fried rice with a whole lot of bbq sauce
This business is mostly for take out and delivery however whenever I go in to order my food, the place is usually clean and has a few tables available for those who want to eat there. The staff are normally very pleasant. The delivery is exceptionally quick, my order is correct and my food is hot and tasty.
Kind staff and very fast delivery Food always taste very good and i have been a very loyal customer. And if you want fortune cookies just ask the staff
Shrimp lo mein and a order of orange chicken with homemade iced tea.
Reliable local Chinese delivery place. Their service is always fast and I've never had an issue with my orders. Their prices are very reasonable and on top of that, they also give free items (e.g. soda, soup, side of fried rice) when your order reaches a certain amount.
Food is fantastic. Can see why they got their B rating, but with a little more cleanup, they'll be up to a 5 rating from the City. Truth.
Ordered here for yrs reminds me of Chinese restaurants in Queens. If you get delivery they remember your order, and once you go in they name you by your address from voice recognition lol. Best customer service I’ve ever had! If you want good food go/order from here.

Service is friendly and efficient. The dining area and tables is always clean. The food varies depending upon the dish yet for the most part it is above average. Especially the standards such as Lo Mien, Chow Mien, Fried Rice, Egg/Spring Rolls and Chicken Wings.
Cityone is one of my favorite spots in the city. Love their Shripms 🍤and broccoli 🥦. They always clean their shrimps. And the garlic sauce on the broccoli is always fresh. I recommend this spot.

I ask for chicken wings and French fries and an order of crab sticks. I only get the wings and 4 crab sticks. I called and asked about the fries and the woman yelled that I didn't order fries. I said I didnt speak to her I spoke to a man. So she gives him the phone and he says the same thing. I asked about the price. $12.25 just for that and he said they charged $2.00 extra because of the snow. In addition to my tip that's not worth it. They weren't willing to fix the situation. All about money. Greedy scammers.
