Food is decent but if you order delivery and don't tip the delivery driver will curse you out and yell out you in front of everyone in your lobby. EXTREMELY unprofessional. I spoke to management and nothing was reconciled. I spend $75 there weekly and will be taking my business elsewhere.

Food tastes terrible like old or cheap cooking oils used. Their delivery person is always rude if he disapproves of your tip. Management sides with the rude drivers. Not worth a penny.

Quite possibly the best tasting Chinese food I have ever had! The General chicken was perfectly crispy and the dumplings was delicious!

My favorite Chinese restaurant in Bethesda! Nice decor, good food in a friendly neighborhood type place. Very unassuming and unpretentious. The portions are perfect and the prices are reasonable

One of our neighbors recommended this place. My daughter ordered from City Lights on Christmas Eve. The food was good. The takeout order was packaged nicely. They even gave an abundant quantity of red chili oil hot sauce (we like it spicy). The biggest surprise was the service. In fact, the service on the phone and in person was excellent. Most Chinese restaurants in Bethesda and Potomac are ill mannered and just plain rude. City Lights was a welcome surprise with their friendly service. I will be ordering from here again.

The food doesn’t disappoint. Delivery could be a tad bit better but I love this carry out
Delicious Peking Duck from here. We ordered over the phone in advance for a big order, and it was extremely easy to communicate. Nothing was missing.

Have had take out from here a few times now. Each instance has seen minor differences in seasoning (ordering the same items). Overall good value value and choice for Chinese food in the area. Phone order is easy and pick up is without issue. Parking out front is competitive and busy street. Recommend for take out, have not dined in yet.

This place is incredible, homemade noodles, sautéed versions of classics I've never seen anywhere else. Great and welcoming staff. Hidden gem of a restaurant.

Needed to find a new & good Chinese spot, so I came across this place on Google. Tried it out & I was NOT disappointed. Food was fresh & delicious. Great service as well. Only negative is the can soda was almost $3. Will definitely be going back!

Love this place - have been going here to 10 years. Always solid - cannot remember them making one since mistake ever. Spinach and tofu soup is great as is the king pao! My wife loves the City Lite menu.
Delicious, very clean and great staff.
