The best American Chinese food hands down. Get the orange chicken and crab rangoons! Ever since moving to Des Moines 15 years ago I still look forward to coming back to Newton for this place (and PJs deli and La Canana).

The food is always hot and delicious. They have the best steamed dumplings and crab rangoons. Wait times can be a little long sometimes, especially on weekends, but it's only 2 people working and the wait is well worth it. Best American Chinese I've ever had.

My wife picked up some General Tso, Lo Mein and an egg roll for me. The total according to their website was to be $11.80 plus tax. I was in the state of shock when my wife came home and told me my meal was $16.75 after tax ($15.65 pre tax.). I bit my tongue and started eating this tough, rubbery, dark meat stuff. I am not certain where are all of the high reviews came from in the past, but I am certain the past customers must have been at some other restaurant, or quite possibly were there when there was an experienced cook working. I guess I will start driving out of town for Panda Express. At least I can count on food that is more consistent and the meat is more identifiable. It is has been years since I darkened China King’s doorway, and it very well may be my last. (The Lo Mein was good, the only thing that brought the score up to 2 stars, but still not worth the money.)Overpriced and awful pretty much sums it up.

China King was good years ago. I just had some General Tso chicken last night that was split between both rubbery and dry. Not only was the food quality poor, but the prices in the store were much higher than what they show on their own website. Their website shows $11.80 plus tax for General Tso, Lo Mein and an egg roll. My wife came home and told me my order was $16.75 after tax ($15.65 plus tax). I will likely never order from there again considering the high price and poor food quality. For that price, I could of had a small sirloin somewhere.

The food was fantastic. Service was top notch. The restaurant was very nice. Next time I'm dining in, instead of ordering take out. If you are looking for some delicious Chinese food. Please go and visit China King. It's a true mom and pop restaurant.

CASH ONLY.This is your standard traditional American Chinese restaurant. I liked the open kitchen concept idea, where you could hear the chef stir frying the food with the tong hammering the wok above high heat. It did make the dining room hot in summer.Waiting time could be a problem when getting busy as it had only one chef, so call in ahead or plan to wait fifteen minutes or more.Special combo (all day) was $8.15+tax.Food was hot and fresh. My Kung Pao Chicken was more like a chicken stir fry with a spicy brown sauce, but it was at least tasty and chicken was tender.Egg roll was tasty as well: crispy outside and steamy inside. Fried rice was way above average too. I liked that slightly burnt flavor from the rice being stir fried on high heat in a wok.Lady at front might look unamused or happy, but she was friendly; just a bit introvert I guess.
