China King Restaurant

It has been about two years since I have eaten here. It looked as if it has been that long since they had wiped off their tables. The menu was sticky and dirty. So… I decided not to eat there. Maybe I caught them at a bad. Dinner time and the place was empty. Not great. Two stars because 1 star should really be earned big time.

This place is highly underrated. The ingredients are fresh and the large sizes are perfect for the price. They are also fast and very friendly. We got the pork and Chinese vegetables and the crab Rangoon and the lo mein and the spicy shrimp with vegetables. All tasty with plenty of left overs and for $ 31 (pickup) in 15 minutes. Who could ask for more?

We love this place. The food is tasty and the crab Rangoon is the best around. Whenever we are running late or craving some Chinese we call them up and it’s ready when we get there. The delivery service is good as well. Perfect for those nights you just don’t feel like getting off the couch.

It’s good for strip mall Chinese food and this is our usual pickup place. Staff is usually friendly. Takeouts are easy. Delivery is pretty quick if you live nearby.
Their broccoli chicken and sweet and sour chicken are good. Their crab rangoon is really good too. Also no MSG.

This is my go to Chinese place… The food is always consistent and good; I haven’t found better General Tso’s Chicken or Egg Rolls anywhere around here. You can call ahead and place your pickup order; this is mostly a carryout and delivery place, but there are a few tables for dining in. Its only about $ 6.25 for the lunch special with a drink (canned soda), so its as cheap as getting fast food. All of the people who take the orders at the front speak and understand English well, which is always a plus at any Chinese place. Ive been eating here once every week or two for years and have never had a bad meal…

I hate being first and rating it 1.
I got the sesame chicken as it’s the safest thing to test a place with. Obviously, there are other «typical» Chinese American dishes one can test with but this is my choice. I also got some Hot and Sour soup.
It took a long time to come out.
The Hot and Sour soup was tangy and lacked the hot and sour aspects. My first impression was: «this place has promise» since the mushrooms were super fresh, but then I put my spoon into the soup. The contents of the soup seemed to be in a gelatinous suspension. I felt like I was in Chemistry class. Not sure what the «broth» was made of but I took a few sips and then moved on.
The sesame chicken. wow the sesame chicken. For those of you that are Florida Gators or ACRs (Alachua County Residents) that remember Chinee Takee Outee, think of a worse version with… you wont’ believe it. even more batter. There were a few pieces that were all batter. Other pieces were dark meat from somewhere in the chicken’s physiology I have never experienced. I spat out numerous pieces much to the chagrin of my co-​workers whom had to witness my feigned attempts at hiding it.
Never going back unless the owners ping me and tell me to try again. I hope they do as I actually do hate lambasting establishments like this.
