Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"I’ve got Singapore platter and it was delicious too just like I ask them to cook it for me hands up to China King."
"5 stars, I got pickup today and the food was ready within 15 minutes. I ordered Hot and Sour soup, Wonton Soup, Shrimp Toast, Fried dumplings, and General Tso’s chicken combination platter. -The General Tso’s chicken was delicious, perfectly fried chicken, and was a lot of chicken for $8. -The Wonton and Hot and Sour soup were great, there Hot and Soup is always good. -The shrimp toast was OK. It could have been more shrimp filling. -Both the egg roll and shrimp tasted good. -Finally, the fried dumplings were flavorful, and you get a huge portion for $6. Overall, the food is priced and a good value, and the portion sizes are large. The only downside is this place is cash only. ***Overall, I Highly recommend this place."
"For New Year's Eve, I ordered the Butterfly Shrimp. Just Delicious! I think I'm going to have to start trying other things here like chicken chow mein cause the other place I used to go to in the area it's just isn't tasting the same. I think they have new owners."
"This is one of the best Chinese stores in Northeast. Tried them out on a recommendation from a neighbor and I'm glad I did. Reading some of the comments, I can see how they would have rude customer service. The front desk woman who takes orders has a type of vibe where you could see her giving bad customer service depending on her mood or day. Luckily for me, the two times I ordered, I had no problem with her. I had the spicy General Tsos chicken with low mein and the 2nd time was Bourbon Chicken with white rice. Both times were absolutely amazing. I honestly have no complaints aside from they give far little broccoli vs other locations."
"Yes it's true that they don't sell anything special that the others don't. Yes the places decor is just like the others. But, the food is not. A friend of mine recommend me to this place. In the past 3 years I have only order Chinese food from here. I have NEVER been disappointed on any dish. I have purchased many dishes from others and have a complaint about one thing or another. If this helps, the serve medium/large shrimp in their dishes, their shrimp are not neon pink, or small salad shrimp. Their dishes are not overly greasy. I live about 8/10mins away & my food is always hot when it arrives. There was a mix up before that was taken care of with no issues. S/N.... Some people just need to learn how to talk to others. When you want/need something from another you don't attack, belittle, disrespect, or insult them. Half the time the person is unaware of the mistake made."
"First here the shrimp rolls were good. Going back to try other items"
"Your typical Chinese carry out. The food is always hot and tastes fresh. The order is always right. I have been ordering from this location for 4 years, and never have they gotten the order wrong, even when it was for over 10 people. The delivery driver is top-notch, always pleasant. When you call multiple times, your info is saved, which is convenient. No bells or frills but consistent and good."
"I got an egg roll and pork fried rice. Food was good and the price was okay. Person at counter was pleasant."
