Food was great. It’s in seafood city market. Small food court that you can eat at. The person I was with didn’t get their food for 40 mins because they forgot about his order. So that was upsetting but otherwise would come again.

I always search for Chowking whenever I am traveling as this is one of my favorite place to eat. Their food is always fresh! The fried chicken is crunchy and the Beef Wonton soup always hit the spot. It is also the best place to get Halo-Halo. Not to mention that the customer service is always amazing! They are so nice and welcoming! I also appreciate that they keep the place clean!
Food is about what you'd expect, quick and relatively average priced Chinese food.They do open quite early though so that is a big plus.

Warning: if you want to waste 30 minutes of your time in line, just ordering a one item combo, remember… You have been warned!!!As much as I love their food, this place has the slowest service in the entire food industry. I should've known better and ordered through the app ahead of time. I've been waiting here close to 20 minutes and they gave me a pager after I placed my order, and I still haven't seen my food yet. Their food is delicious but it's not really worth it when I only have one hour of lunchtime and it takes approximately about that time just waiting for my food. And I'm not even eating it here... I'm taking it to go for myself and my coworker.Update: I'm reducing my review from two stars to one star. I just received my order. On my way back to work with my coworker and the portion is so little it's crazy. This is the kind of portion I get when I order a child's meal at panda express. For $25 I would assume that I get adult portion size on my meal. next time I'm taking my business to Jollibee. You got a better portion for the same amount of price... Actually, it's two dollar cheaper for a combo item. If not that, I'd rather go to Panda Express you get three times the amount of food for the same... Cheaper price.So to summit up, lousy service, overpriced food, and stingy portion. Things have really gone down with chowing.Service: F (I paid for two item combo, but I only got one item combo)Quality:APrice: A -

Got a broccoli beef bowl which is affordable and tasty. I think the cuts of meat are thicker now, they used to be thinner which I kind of prefer. Also got halo halo which has ube ice cream, crushed ice, ube jam, milk, and sweetened assorted beans and jellies. The beans and jellies were on the skimpy side, there were barely enough to even cover the bottom. The ice would be better if it was more finely crushed, it was like eating cold crunchy glass shards. Good place to stop by for some lunch. Service is fast. It's located in a mall with seating in front and back, the back having more natural lighting since it faces the parking lot.

The food is fantastic but the only thing that makes the atmosphere and the 4 stars is that it is a bit dirty.Kid-friendliness: Sometimes they say nice things or just hi to the children.Wheelchair accessibility: They have seats for disabled.

Chow King has finally updated their menu. It's similar to Panda Express with their entree options but slightly cheaper. I chose the sweet and sour pork and this has changed. It's sweeter and less tangy. The meat cut is now slivers which is odd. The siopao is still delicious. The sago gulaman doesn't contain sago, they use boba instead. For a quick and fulfilling meal, Chow King hits the spot. Service is quick unless it's a weekend.

My wife and I are craving for some beef mami, pork siopao, fried chicken, and pork siomai. Well this is the place to go to eat all of them. The food was delicious. Friendly staff and fast service. We'll come back again and bring our family and friends to share this family-oriented at-home restaurant.
My first time here, I spent over $80 before I saw an online discount that was never mentioned or offer to me by cashier. I was eating and noticed them giving red baloons to all the customers except for me eating on the table. I think that was very rude!

Chowking is childhood memory for many Filipinos, and it's mine for sure. I never realized that Chowking was a Filipino take on Chinese cuisine! Who knew? Settled within a plaza with seafood city at the center, chowking is one of the big 3 Filipino eateries- other than Goldilocks and Red Ribbon. This venue is a bit smaller with indoor seating in front of the cashier area and back seating with larger tables. The place is quiet but attracts many Filipino diners to sit and enjoy. My family decided to opt in for their 2 piece entree laureate deal that comes with 2 sides of rice and noodles, 2 pieces of chicken, and 1 meat for $13.99; it's not a bad deal in variety but could have better serving sizes. The fried chicken can't compare to jollibee in flavor or crispyness, but it was alright. Super salty for my liking and they didn't have gravy either. Standard steamed white rice but their noodles were actually good. For my meat, I got sweet and sour pork- the meat was warm but the texture was a bit hard to chew and didn't have that much flavor except the sweetened coating. Their take on Chinese shumai is filled with beef, so be aware if you decide to order this in lieu of dim sum. Nice place to grab a quick bite.

The halo halo was the worse I ever tasted. They just put ube ice cream ana a little leche plan and one spoon of the mixed fruits. I treated my whole and everyone felt the same. I would be embarrassed to promote this. And the ice took at least an hour to melt. It is not shave it was coursely crushed.

Been coming here for quite some time. Over the weekend, my family was having dinner with my brother in law and his family and my nephew said he wanted to try halo halo. It was 8PM on a Saturday, Chowking closes at 9. My son and I got there by 8:30 and apologized for coming in so late. Then asked if it would be possible to order 7 halo halo's. The cashier went to the lady off to the side whom was currently making 2 halo halo to ask if there was enough ingredients to make my order. She didn't even hesitate, she enthusiastically nodded yes.We waited maybe 10 minutes if that. I thanked them profusely and the lady whom had a manager presence kindly suggested that we could call in an order if we wanted it to be ready by the time we got there. I explained that I felt bad for even making such a large order of halo halo this close to closing. She reassured me it was fine. We'll be back :-)
