What QXZWS doesn't like about China Inn:
Really frustrating because the chips themselves were actually good chunky and well cooked but really spoilt by being cooked in really old oil. It's false economy to hang on to old oil when it's well past its prime the food cooked in it smells off and the taste is not nice either heavy grease. They've lost a repeat customer because of this I'll try elsewhere instead. View all feedback. What Corbin H likes about China Inn:
The food quality and price to food ratio are beyond fair and amazing. Very tasty and enjoyable which I’ve found hard in York. It’s my go to. Staff are very friendly and make the visit a pleasant and easy going experience. Highly recommend to all. View all feedback.

Unfortunately, this will be the first and last time I order from here chips are more like they’ve been cooked a week ago and re cooked every day since

Chinese food was good. It has a really good chippy too. Unfortunately you can only pay cash. That's the only reason I haven't ordered as I don't carry cash.

Although the restaurant has received some mixed reviews, it seems to have its positives. The fish and chips are generally considered good, with the chips being particularly praised for being chunky and freshly made. Some customers have had issues with the quality of the food, slow service, and rude staff. However, the family-run takeaway offers a variety of food at reasonable prices and has received positive feedback on their Chinese dishes and customer service. Overall, the China Inn appears to be a decent option for a casual meal, especially if you're a fan of homemade style chips.
