King’s Wok

DO NOT EAT HERE! Few years ago I got their teriyaki chicken skewers. They literally fried the maggots that were feasting on it previously. When I took it back they gave me an attitude and tried telling me it was «just rice.» And «you want money back?!»…um yeah I want my money back, idiot.

If I could give 0 stars I would. Completely not eatable. The new owners have ruined this place. It is horrible and the prices are higher than the menu they have online.

Much better then average Chinese take out. Don’t know where the people with bad reviews ate but it wasn’t here. Been getting take out for last year and haven’t had bad food yet. Highly recommend you give it a try and decide for yourself. You won’t be sorry. They even use fresh veggies in food.

I really like the food here. I’ve tried their Beef and Broccoli, Sweet and Sour Chicken, General Tso’s Chicken, and a few other meals. I’ve liked them all. Recommend you trying it yourself before basing it in these other tips. Good food!

Food use to be good but now it’s nasty! Wasted $ 20 bucks!

Thought I would give it another try for take out. Bad decision!

Seriously it is that bad!!! A few co-​workers about a month ago went there and gave them some cash to grab me something too. I requested the lemon chicken with crab puff. As i worked hard and steadily and also anxiously waiting for my lunch my first bite of food came o too soon. Chicken was noticeably lithely breaded if at all and the sauce was so bitter it was stale or something. I feel bad for the two that said it was so great because it was no where close at all. If you want good Chinese food in ellenton go to ching shu down the street by publix much better and very fresh as well as friendly.

Seriously, it’s really not that bad. I’m not the type to order anything breaded at a Chinese food spot, so I can’t really comment on that. I usually stick to the basics, because it’s so hard to mess up the basics. But do you know what the basics are?
Well here’s a list:
Egg Foo Young
Chow Mein
Protein w/​Broccoli
Steamed Vegetables
Happy Family
Anything w/​Lobster Sauce
I always stay away from Lo Mein, Egg Rolls, Crab Wontons, Fried Rice, and the aforemention breaded proteins. All of those items are too oily, and most Chinese restaurants don’t change the oil in their Fry-​o-​lator regularly, so why risk it?
I ordered Pork Egg Foo Young, Chicken w/​Broccoli, and Sauteed Mixed Vegetables. The sauce for the egg foo young was weak, but the egg foo young had bits of ginger (which I really liked). The sauce for the chicken w/​broccoli and the mixed veggies was the same sauce.
I wasn’t expecting Hong-​Kong style food in Ellenton, FL, but I’m glad that it was much better than the other review would have you believe. It’s not great, but it’s far from bad.
Order carefully…

Chinese Restaurants in this part of Florida are a joke at best„ but after having dinner at this establishment was the worst yet.
Ordered sweet N sour chicken. Chicken was sub-​par with too much batter, the fried rice was awful. If it was fried, they need new fryers.
The sauce was a terribly watered down production. And to top it off, they did NOT leave a fortune cookie.
I pray that someday we can get a decent Chinese restaurant here, but I’m not holding my breath.
