I’m very pleased and impressed with China King! From the service, to the food, and everything else. The lady who ran the front end is very sweet and friendly. I felt comfortable when I walked in, and she also helped me navigate the menu. Food came out in just over 5min. I got the chicken and broccoli lunch special with white rice and a crab rangoon. This was just over $10, which is a nice deal. The food was hot, fresh, and tasted excellent. The flavors were plentiful, and the portion was more than fair. I ended up taking some home. I highly recommend, and, I’ve said this about other Chinese restaurants in the area, but I truly think that this is one of, if not the best Chinese cuisine in the C-U area. Definitely will be back.

Follow directions really great! Fresh food
I ordered delivery through Grubhub. The delivery driver was great. She arrived earlier than anticipated. The food was hot, fresh, and delicious. I ordered the Mongolian Beef combination platter which came with a choice or white rice or pork fried rice (I chose pork), as well as a choice of egg roll or crab rangoon (I chose rangoon).
The China King menu on Grubhub wasn't clear with regards to my order. I had to choose between an egg roll or crab rangoon. An egg roll by itself is $2.20. An order of 4 rangoon was marked at $5.25. I expected 2 pieces of rangoon because that seemed to equate to 1 egg roll. I received 1 piece of crab rangoon. I called the restaurant to say that the menu should be more clear. I would have ordered more crab rangoon if I would have known only 1 piece was coming. Needless to say, I was very disappointed and felt a bit cheated (crab rangoon is my favorite). I was trying to be smarter with my money, so I didn't order a separate 4-piece order because I thought 2 should be enough to at least satisfy the craving I'd been having since being stuck home recovering from major spinal surgery. Normally, if eating out, I would order and pick it up myself because money is tight... I couldn't justify spending another $5.25 because I was already spending more for delivery and tip. Anyway, the food was truly delicious and would have received 5-stars. However I am giving 4-stars because the menu should specify that only 1 piece comes with the combo platters. But ultimately, I think 1 piece of rangoon is not ok. China King should be giving 2 pieces as that seems like a more fair financial equivalent to 1 egg roll.
In the grand scheme of things, I'm sure my opinion doesn't matter, and definitely won't change anything. I'm just butthurt over my super-salivating induced craving for crab rangoon going unmet... I should have ordered the 10-piece rangoon from First Wok in lieu of a meal, but they weren't listed on Grubhub and I just wasn't physically ready to drive with the pain I'm struggling with from surgery. Blah. Now it will be a few weeks before I can afford to eat out anywhere again, so I'll just have to dream about crab rangoon until then.
Super disappointed...

I highly recommend. The food is always good, and compared to other locations, it is reasonably priced. The employees are so nice and the location is clean.

Ordered take out and it was great! Huge portion sizes which we loved especially for the price - it's a good bang for your buck.
Fried rice was not super flavorful but still good. The steamed dumplings were delicious would definitely reccomend. My husband got the general tso chicken and thought it was great. Generous portion sizes. I got the combo kung pao and the heat and flavor were there. I was sad to see no whole chili peppers in there but it was still spicy. The chili oil is the best I've ever had and was great with the boiled dumplings. Egg rolls were good too, came free w our order from ordering online which was nice. Everything was super hot and fresh. Overall a good experience!

Very friendly approachable and excellent food. I had the six-piece fried chicken wings, and the shrimp fried rice no egg no onion. It was delicious.

House Egg foo Yung was good, wife had chicken w/broccoli and liked it. Fried rice kept it from getting 5. Look forward to trying egg rolls.
Sammy and her husband do a great job! Their Crab Rangoon is the best in the CU area! They have lunch portions that are still able to serve 2. Sammy always remembers my friend and I (calling us by name). They only use fresh vegetables!
This China King is independently owned. They are not connected to any other China Kings.
Keep up the good work!

This is one of the best Chinese restaurants I've ever been to! The food is phenomenal, the service was great, and it has such a cozy atmosphere. I've ordered online and eaten in person, both are great options but I highly recommend eating in person becuase everything is made to order and delicious. The pricing is also extremely reasonable. I will definitely be coming back!
