Nice Chinese food with limited seating. Most likely, you would do a carryout order. If you haven't been to China King in a while, you need to visit. New owners have refreshed the interior and menu. They now accept DEBT & CREDIT cards! No cash in your pocket, no worry now at China King! Call or Drop by and pick up a Freshly made meal. YES, you can watch them make your food.

I've been here multiple times. I always stop here when I'm in Newton. Food is always fresh and tastes great! Don't forget to bring cash. You won’t be disappointed.

Fresh, hot, delicious food! What a lovely family run business. They're doing a great job. There were plenty of vegetables and meat. It's worth the visit. We will be continuing to support this business.

Sadly temperature and flavor has declined significantly…and we waited for our to go order—I’d expect hot and fresh! This has been a go-to for 15 years…not sure I’ll go back anytime soon.

This has always been my favorite Chinese place but the last few times we’ve had it the food is not as good as it used to be almost bland if you will. I know they’ve changed who runs it and they will find their footing but the food has gone down hill unfortunately hopefully they get it back to the way it used to be.

Cash only. Don't go there for a decadent experience. Peoples Working environment. Interior well lighted, seating is solid clean, not boards. We always get the "bean curd" dishes. Soft fried hot squishy with vegetables what a treat.

Vegetarian options: Most. No meat eaters insist on separate cooking surfaces, I can't speak to that.

Worst Chinese food I've had in my life. Taste is extremely off. Almost like trash. Only ate rangoons all of our other entrees we ended up throwing away. The best thing about the place was their child who took my order.

It’s really apparent that this place has changed hands. Used to be so good. Probably not ordering from here anymore. Way too much sugar, flavors are not up to par. So sad that this place that I enjoyed so much has become another Newton has been.

Ive been going to china king for better part of a decade. This is the first time ive ever been disappointed with the quality of the food. They changed the General Tso and not for the better. It used to be a fantastic stand out unique tso and its a shame. My rice was forgotten as-well. I hope they go back to the old recipe cause i come to newton for china king. I wont be coming back for a while with this change.
