King Garden

This Chinese takeout is in a strip mall on Rt 4 eastbound. I suspect most of us probably won’t get off the highway just for Chinese takeout but it is not far from the Newport exit off Route 141. Anyway, it’s a typical family-​run operation. The kids run around the front of the store and are quite a handful, but service was nevertheless pretty good, considering.
This evening, we ordered the pork egg foo young and the hot & spicy chicken. The fried rice was mediocre, but I thought the egg foo young was rather good. The hot & spicy chicken had a piece of hard, unidentified foreign matter. Still not sure what that was. Packaging left something to be desired. For Chinese takeout, I’d prefer a plastic box to a styrofoam box because the former is more durable and I can reuse it. Worse yet, they used staples to shut the styrofoam box. Those are not so safe when handling food. A stray staple, if it gets into food and is swallowed, can cause some health complications.

On my list of places when wife says your on your own for dinner. It’s good food. Your typical Chinese fast food. Don’t expect much from the dining room. Just get your food and eat in car or at home

The vegetables are good, but the meat is plain awful. The general Taos is chewy and clumpy. The shrimp is way overbooked and the chicken for the meal is also very chewy. Not worth it when there are so many other sub par Chinese delivery places to choose from.
