We get King Chuan almost every week. It has become a staple in our house. For two people the Kung Pao Chicken, Grandma’s Fried Rice and Garden Veggies provide dinner and to-go lunch for 2. Caring & kind staff. Order directly from the restaurant or go sit down and have a great meal. Thank you! -Gabi and Riley

Love this place - great mix of super authentic Chinese dishes and take out classics. If you're dining in, get the steamed fish and extra rice (you'll thank me later). Thanks Aunty Susan for always providing great hospitality.

Amazing food service always good, but has gotten too expensive. We've been coming 2-3 times a month for years, but are going to have to cut back because of the price. In 2022 they charged $13 for fried rice and chow mein. Then increased to $15... ok I get it, inflation and all. But now it's $18, and that might be too much for rice and noodles. Our bill for our usual order was $55 in 2022, now it's $78. Again I get it, inflation, tariffs, etc. I don't think...
