This place is my go-to Chinese Takeout place. Â It's right in my neighborhood (I'm not Mr. Rogers by the way), and they can prepare the food in about 10-15 minutes. Â You really can't go wrong with the lunch specials for $4.95. Â If you get sick of that $5 foot long, then this place is definitely worth a try.
I agree their menu is quite large, and some of the dishes there are kinda "Meh", but they really do have some tasty dishes as well. Â I think they could cut the menu down a tad and focus on their real flavorful and delicious dishes. Â If you end up ordering one of the blander dishes I can see why you might give this place low ratings. Â I think it is hit or miss, but I will tell you about some of the dishes that I think are mad grubbin'.
The only appetizer that I can recommend is the Crab Ragoon. Â It has a goldfish shape, it's super crispy on the outside, and has a creamy "crabiness" taste to it on the inside. Â Their crab ragoon is pretty delish in my opinion. Â It comes with a little side dish of sweet and sour sauce that you can dip these bad boys in for a nice combination of flavor.
I also recommend the House Pan Fried Noodles. Â On the bottom you have these very thin crunchy and in other places softer noodles in a soy sauce base. Â On top is pork, shrimp, broccoli, water chestnuts, baby corn, and thinly sliced carrots. Â This is really good stuff in my opinion. Â The wife thinks it's a little salty, but I'm a fan of this dish.
The next menu item that is really good is their Shrimp with Lobster Sauce. Â You have this clear sauce with peas, carrots, and big ol' shrimps in this dish. Â I was surprised that the shrimp are as big as they are, and it comes with white rice which tastes pretty awesome if you mix it in with the lobster sauce.
Another tasty menu item is the General Tso's Chicken. Â I believe this is the first dish that I ever ordered from there, and since then I have ordered this numerous times. Â The chicken has this sweet and spicy sauce. Â Even though it has hot peppers mixed in with the chicken, it's really not all that spicy. Â It has a little kick to it and I really like this dish.
The last item that I recommend would be the Moo Shu Pork. Â It comes with a big portion of pork and various vegetables mixed in the dish. Â It also comes with hoisin sauce and five pancakes. Â I would advise to by an extra order of pancakes, because there is a lot of filling. Â I am not a real fan of eating this plain, but it's pure deliciousness if you wrap up this filing in the pancake like a burrito. Â Yum Yum...
The restaurant size is pretty small with some tables for dining in, but I wouldn't recommend bringing the whole soccer team to eat there (Some would be eating on the floor due to lack of table space). Â One thing that is a little annoying is that you have to ask for the chopsticks when you pick up your order. Â Sometimes, I totally forget to request these, so it would be helpful if they ask the customer how many sets they need when they pick up their food, or just add them to the bag without the customer having to ask them for these utensils. Â They used to have them out in the open where you could just grab these, but now I believe they keep these under their cash register.
Hey, it's the standard "crappy American Chinese food." I have a soft spot for this sort of thing, but it's just not a particularly impressive rendition of that genre. As Jon T observes, their menu is excessively large and things tend to blend together badly. But he's right, large orders are large. You can easily get two meals from one of them, so the price works out to be pretty reasonable. I would comment that while the Chinese dishes themselves (I almost always gravitate towards something like Szechuan/Hunan beef/pork) aren't too greasy, their crab rangoon are...not good. Very greasy, flavorless filling, etc. I had a hankering for them, but this definitely did not satisfy.
I'm not sure how much I'll be back - there are other generic Chinese joints around, and while none are quite so close to the house...it would be worth driving to find something else.
Andrew T, Ms T and I had a light dinner here after our return from extended travels. Â I had a craving for Chinese. Â Although it looks like one of those strip mall chain Chinese places that are so common, I don't think it is a chain.
Ms T went for a half order of chicken and peapods. Â Andrew and I ordered full orders which were very large. Â He had one of the beef dishes and I had a spicy shredded pork dish. Â This is very mediocre Chinese. Â While it was not greasy and our servings were more than adequate, the food just is not well seasoned. Â To be honest, there was not much difference between the three whether beef, pork or chicken. Â When you see us all adding soy sauce to try to get a little flavor, you get the idea. Â The sauces were just bland.
They have a huge, huge menu. Â I recall 120+ items. Â They need to reduce it to 20 max and work on distinguishing the sauces.
I truly wanted to love this place as it's literally 2 min from my house. Unfortunately, I was pretty disappointed.
We ordered pot stickers...they were mushy, but they were ok. My egg roll only had cabbage in it. My beef chop suey was mainly vegetables & very little beef. My husband had sesame chicken that he said was ok.
I was also disappointed with portion sizes. Granted I've been spoiled by living near some amazing Chinese take out places in the past with incredible food & heaping servings...but King's wasn't even just average. It was very much below average. I gave them the star based on speed & price only.
Based on this experience, I will drive a little further to get Lee's on 59 or China Chef in Westmont.
A nice little quaint Chinese restaurant. What is different about these guys is that their fried rice may be the most non-greasy I've ever had. I think these guys steam their fried rice in some sort of seasoned broth which give out a deep flavor and yellow color and they just mix some meat and veggies in there. It is interesting.
Review Source:This is my favorite Chinese restaurant by far! The food is delish, the portion sizes are generous, and the service is very fast. We've been frequenting this restaurant for take out for 5 years and even though we've moved further away, it will continue to be our Chinese restaurant of choice. I wouldn't recommend it to dine-in, and I really wish they offered delivery, but perfect for takeout.
Review Source:NOT for vegetarians or vegans.
They advertise $4.25 for lunch specials but they don't have anything vegetarian and I was charged $1 extra for replacing meat with tofu. This is inconsistent as well. I wasn't charged anything a couple of times before. Once I was charged only $0.50 extra. i don't really care about the extra dollar but it is the principle.
Wouldn't go back because of the inconsistency. The food otherwise is good (and hence the 2 stars)
