“My friend and I came in for dinner and had a fantastic time. The restaurant was beautiful, and we were seated as soon as we walked in. The menu was by QR code, which was convenient for a hot pot restaurant because you could order more food at any time. The menu also had suggested cook times for every ingredient which was helpful as this was our first time getting hot pot. We got the ribeye, a portion of noodles, a vegetable plate, and a tomato soup base. The soup base was delicious! The staff were super nice as well, they were very friendly and would frequently come over to check on us. Overall, it was a very good experience and I am very excited to return with more friends. We dined for approximately 2 hours.“

“The name of the restaurant is just right. I tried thier beef fried rice on a quest to find my favorite Chinese restaurant and now I crave thier food (something about the taste is unique and I can seem to place my finger on it or find that anywhere else) every once in a while. I drive an hour from my house just to get it when that craving hits. The customer service is also top notch, really nice and friendly people. 10/10 would recommend“

“They serve up a very generous amount of food for a single order. I’m a vegetarian and they have a very nice selection of fresh veggies in teriyaki sauce that is enough for two meals. Service is prompt and efficient. Don’t be discouraged by the dingy foyer etc…the food is good and plentiful. Friendly service.“

“Amazing food, especially the noodle dishes. I try to go here whenever I am in the area.

Personal favorites are the Pad Thai and Pad Kee Mao. They are also able to accommodate special requests. Want no tail on your shrimp? No problem! They can even do things like make Pad Thai with wide noodles (for a very minor price difference).

When they say spicy, they mean spicy though!“

“Fantastic lunch special prices and the portion sizes are always large which is just a bonus as I can usually do two meals out of one meal order. Great, friendly service and always quick with our order, either online or in person. Clean dining area and very open with nice decor. Definitely worth the 5 stars!“

“Awesome restaurant! I am a huge ramen and noodle eater and have eaten many places, this is definitely a favorite. Their food is phenomenal. Some of the best I’ve had. 100% recommend stopping by here! Great atmosphere, easy to order, and quick service!“

“Very good flavor and a lot of variety in the choices. There is a fairly decent selection of vegetarian dishes available and that makes the experience much better for me. The teas are hot and strong, water or fountain drinks are an option. Most patrons are greeted at the door and shown a menu. There are a nice selection of table sizes for various groups that can be chosen by people in less busier times to find their own table. Wait times are short and portions are quite good. The overall appearance is clean and neat and generally pleasant.“

“This food was delicious!!! We had orange chicken and barbeque pork with mixed veggies. Excellent!“

“Good lunch special in a pinch. I miss when it used to be $6 but I suppose inflation gets to the best of us. Always a nice variety of options to choose from as they swap the dishes through the week. Free water / soup is a nice touch. Can get a bit oily, but is made up for by the affordability.“

“One of my absolute favorite spots in town! This restaurant offers an incredible selection of flavors for Malatang and Malaxiangguo. All the ingredients are laid out beautifully, allowing you to pick exactly what you want – from meats to fresh vegetables and noodles. The ingredients are always super fresh and the broths are rich and flavorful. Whether you're craving something spicy or mild, there's something to choose from.“

“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!“

“Excellent food, never had a bad meal here. A very good spot if you have a short lunch break, I'm usually in and out within ten minutes. Ordering is sometimes a little awkward because the staff speaks limited English and I speak no Chinese, but pointing and nodding and smiling has always gotten me a wonderful meal anyway. I recommend the roasted pork with mushrooms, comes with mixed veg and a lot of savory sauce for your rice.“

“We've been going here for several months now and have never been disappointed ? the food is always good and fresh, especially the Jasmine rice is so good ? we were originally introduced to Super Wok by my partner's work because they'd bought from here for the employees several times, so I can attest to their catering as well and everyone there really loves the food as well!

Recommend the Orange Chicken, and the Mongolian Beef. The fortune cookies are so good too ?“

“Daughter and I stopped by this location to pick-up some dinner while we were staying the night in the Champaign area. Place was moderately busy at the time of our arrival, but staff did a great job about keeping things moving along. The young man working the counter, Jaice, was especially personable and helpful.\n\nAs for the food, everything was decent but fairly standard fare for a Panda Express. Not bad but nothing spectacular. Good sized portions. Reasonably priced.“

“09/10/2024 they have the vegetarian version of the orange chicken, as “Beyond orange chicken” and it was on my bucket list to get it again because it’s so delicious. I’m so grateful to Panda Express for bringing it back, and I’m hopeful they’ll keep it around this time.

Pros:
-friendly employees on 9/10/2024 visit although they were going to serve everyone else first they didn’t have my food cooked yet so I had to ask to at least pay first and not be totally skipped in line
-they have the Beyond orange plant based chicken!
-plenty of seating in the mall food court
-cool fortunes in fortune cookies ?
-Panda express rewards app can be scanned here

Cons:
-they didn’t have any of the Beyond orange ready and so I had to wait for them to cook it
-the ice water tasted weird and not fresh water“

“My partner and I have ordered Shiquan delivery for years and we love it. We always order the mouth numbing wontons, bokchoy, and cabbage. We went in-person once and the portions were massive! The space is very small, and they're clearly tailored more for delivery than in-service, but they did just fine and we'd have happily gone back, just haven't gotten around to it. They're our comfort lazy order-in restaurant in town.“

“i thought that the food selections were great. the food was hot and displayed well. we will definitely go back again.“

“Many Chineses told me this is not traditional Chinese foods, bit American style Chineses food. Whatever, I super like it. The only downside is that they ran out of some dishes, including walnut shrimp, maybe due to summer vacation time of the universality.“

“This Chinese restaurant exceeded all of my expectations. The food is bursting with authentic flavors and prepared to perfection with a very affordable price.l. The ingredients were fresh, and the balance of spices was just right.

The ambiance is cozy and inviting, making it a perfect spot for both casual dining and special occasions. The staff is friendly and attentive, adding to the overall wonderful experience. If you’re looking for incredible Chinese food, this place is a must-visit. I can’t wait to come back and try more dishes!“
