China King

This place has been around since I was a child, it's been a hole in the wall(which is why 4* to atmosphere) since I was a child and the price is still as reasonable as when I was a child, and the food is still the hands-down best Chinese/American in the United States, and I say this having eaten up and down both coasts. The crab rangoon are a guilty pleasure, and sometimes I'll get the sweet and sour chicken and just eat the chicken without using the sauce - their chicken is still better than most other places. Sadly no pictures to share tonight, because I destroyed every square inch of my meal and then went into a happy christmas food coma, but if you're looking for dependable top tier food - don't sleep on china king on telegraph; I don't know if they're affiliated with the other, but the one on telegraph and alexis is the original gangster.

Good food, a little slow preparing it, but good service otherwise. The strip mall parking lot is mostly adequate, unless the strip club next door is making it busy. The shrimp fried rice, shrimp lo mein, and the shrimp egg foo young were very good. Please keep in mind, they are mostly carry out, since they only have one table to eat at, and the atmosphere is more of a warehouse variety.

My husband door dashed food from here for my birthday a few days ago and he set it to be ready at a particular time. They sent out a message stating it was done earlier than we wanted. After arriving at the store stated that it was an accident so the person on staff stated no problem and finished the meal in 4 minutes. The portions were great but literally next day my daughter woke up throwing up and then I started to get sick and now my sons. I am assuming that the staff quickly making the meal did not reassure that the food was completely done. This is going on day two that we are just in bed and puking and sick. Response to the owner: Thank you for taking the time to respond at least someone cares. I had spoken to door dash about this matter and no refund given despite this being serious here at home. Been in bed for past few days my kids just been throwing up in the middle of the night and in the daytime. At first my daughter was running a fever with it. We threw away all leftovers the next following day. It was the only thing eaten that day for our whole family. Just unhappy about the whole situation. The sickness is letting up some today but I know for sure it came from this place. Not the best birthday gift.

I tried to love their food but anything breaded is not fried all the way. Tried honey chicken and coconut shrimp and both were very doughy still even when asked to make “extra crispy.” Only thing I decently liked was hot and sour soup. Prices are a little on the high side. The flavor is there, but If they would fry more so the breading isn’t just falling off, or change the breading, then I’d rate higher. Probably won’t be back.
