China King

Some of the best Chinese food in the local area I wish you could get more bang for your buck. The food is yummy and pretty affordable and the dinner specials are amazing and I will come here again and again
I love their food and they are very good for customizing and for allergies i would recommend this place to anyone ! I just ate my food from here and it was the best I have ever had I found myself though wishing I had more

Agreed. I’m surprised at the negative reviews. They do a ton of take out business here hence the plastic tableware. This is absolutely one of my favorite Chinese restaurants in CR. Fast service… kind staff. Everything is made to order… no stale buffet food in hot plate pans.
I love the fresh steamed veggies with sauce on the side. Very healthy.
Give it a try! You won’t be sorry.

I ordered hot and sour soup which was very good. I’m even thinking of ordering one to go :)
It’s just a regular Chinese place where you can order and eat in or take out.

I don’t agree with some of the reviews from the past I was just in the restaurant last week and the kitchen and dining room were clean the food was great and the staff was helpful I give this place five stars

Don’t mind the reviews. It’s good food. Period. It will remind you of your local Chinese food joint. I had the Pu Pu Platter, Hot and Sour Soup, the Orange Combination meal with chicken-​fried rice. It will get the job done! ;)

I was surprised to read some of the negative reviews but I noticed they all seemed to be pretty old so I can only assume they have taken the negative comments and made vast improvements.
I thought the beef lo mien was great, the noodles were fresh as were the veggies. There was ample pieces of meat and veggies not just stuffed full of noodles. The flavor was perfect!
We also got the shrimp egg foo young and it was fantastic and hot, topped it with their gravy and I was in heaven! The order is quite large so it is something you could probably share however it is so good I’m struggling not to eat the entire thing myself!
The egg rolls were honestly not my favorite, not horrible by any means and I may get them again but I’ve had better (and worse).
The hot and sour soup had just the right amount of spice for me, some places make them a little too hot for my taste but this was exactly how I like it.
Our delivery guy couldn’t have been much nicer and we had an over all great experience. We have been struggling to find a good delivery in the area. There were foreign objects in some lo mien we got (it looked like shells or something but we didn’t get sea food — that took me awhile to get over but I won’t be going back there) from our regular spot and there was another that just seemed quite pricey and the flavor wasn’t great at all.
Ok that’s all I’m gonna post for now — scratch that comment about the egg roll… I’m going back for my other now!

Plenty of China Kings in the Cedar Rapids/​Marion area and this is not the one you want to end up at. I was sick for a week after eating here. Marion squares China King is where to go.

¼ star. Some little chinese joints are gems. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY NOT A GEM.
The place is very dirty, all the tables, chairs, surfaces, floors, walls — everything — is covered in a greasy patina that indicates it has never ever ever been wiped down with any kind of detergent or cleaning agent. There was a pile of food LITERALLY in the middle of the dining area floor when I was there for carryout, and it had been there for a while. As soon as I’d placed my order and sat down to wait I started regretting my choice, as I could see more of the kitchen and the dining area.
The food itself had a peculiar taste to it — I had a basic Gen Tso’s chicken and egg rolls, the latter wasn’t terrible but the chicken was just downright strange. I’m not a picky eater but I questioned myself as I ate this order (I’m a guy who used to eat 3-​day old un-​refrigerated pizza for breakfast so consider that here) and the gut-​bomb feeling was not far behind that doubt. I’m not saying the food was tainted, not exactly, but… from what I saw of the place itself I wouldn’t be surprised.
Avoid this one if you have any other choice. It wasn’t even a decent value, all things considered.

I used to eat here weekly and never had a single issue. Prices are great and the quantities are large. Service was always friendly and speedy. Hy-​Vee crab rangoons may be better than China King’s, but the main dishes are not.

I had the General Tso’s chicken it was over cooked and dried out, plus needed more heat/​spice. The chicken fried rice was pretty good, but I did think it was over priced and the inside of the building was in need of repair and looked like it needed a good cleaning. I would steer clear of this place and head to HyVee for a cheaper dinner and much better food quality, plus it is a whole lot cleaner.

Very poor service. They use cheap plastic ware which is gross. Everything is overpriced and food don’t taste as good as it should be. Hy-​vee Chinese is wayyyyy better.
The dining environment is horrible too. Surface is greasy and dirty. I will never ever go again.

Momma always said, life is like strip-​mall Chinese fast food, you never know what you’re going to get. I’m talking about the order at the counter, Asian-​American (emphasis on American) kind of place that all seem to be the same. Occasionally you find one that’s pretty decent, but mostly not. Such is the case with China King next to WalMart south. Is this some sort of franchise? There’s a China King in Marion with the same signage, but the clerk said they aren’t related. I believe it, the one in Marion is much better. Both seem to be family run however.
The first thing we noticed after we ordered our dine-​in dinners was the cheapo plastic ware. I thought, I hope that means they put their money in the food instead of dinnerware. That was wishful thinking. The fried rice was probably the best part of the meal, it had good flavor and pieces of white meat chicken. I had the General Tso’s Chicken which featured tough, grisly chicken with lots of breading in a sugary, slightly spicy sauce. The wife had the broccoli chicken. She said the veggies were good, but the chicken was mostly fatty pieces that looked like skin. She left most of it on her plate, I think it was chicken anyway. I really have to wonder where they source their meat. I don’t even know where you find such poor cuts. Make the trip to Marion and pass this location by.

The food was not what they show on the menu. I ordered sweet and sour chicken (showed on the menu with veggies) and got a box of greasy chicken chunks (mostly skin and fat), questionable rice and odd tasting sweet and sour sauce. I asked for egg rolls and got crab ragoons instead, which I wouldn’t mind except I am allergic to shellfish. (My friend ate them and said they tasted like crap) The staff didn’t seem to know what was going on around them, and the entrance area was flooded in a HUGE puddle of water leaking from a plant that you had to step over to get to the counter. All around review– I wouldn’t go there, I wouldn’t reccommend it, and if someone mentions they are going there for lunch I am going to make a face.
