China King

China King is the only Chinese joint for many miles if you are in Mount Jackson/Basye/Bryce Mountain area. It's in the same shopping center as the Food Lion.

It's a very small place - with eight or so tables if you want to eat in.

I ordered Kung Pao chicken - extra spicy and an order of Egg rolls - to eat in.

While I was waiting - a lot of folks came in to pick up "to go" orders.

When my food was brought out, I was disappointed to see that it was the more "Americanized" version of Kung Pao chicken - lots and lots of celery, zucchini, and bell pepper - plus some chicken and peanuts. The style I was hoping for is mostly chicken - with peanuts, scallions, and red chilies.

The Kung Pao chicken was very average. And not very spicy - considering I ordered it extra spicy.

The egg rolls, however, were excellent! Crispy and hot, not greasy, and large with lots of tasty fillings! I added some of the pre-packaged "Chinese" mustard (I asked if they had a "House" Chinese mustard - they did not).

The egg rolls are what dragged this up to a 3 star rating.

I'd probably come here again and try something other than the Kung Pao chicken.

$7.00 minimum for credit card orders.
