“Best best pho ever. I get pho combo each time. Egg rolls are delicious and wings are delicious I always come here for a few years now. Pleasant servers. Cordial and accommodating.“

“Service is still great … but when closed then reopened, the quality of the food is now NOTICEABLY DIFFERENT (worse). Different chef, perhaps? Not sure what I mentioned it because I always order the same thing chicken with black bean and garlic sauce. The last two times I ordered it after they reopened they used dark meat and it was always always always white meat chicken. Also, the sauce is different. Something’s changed, but I’m just not sure what. It’s still my favorite Chinese restaurant in the south suburbs but they can do better. I say that because they’ve been better.“

“We come here often and the food is always fantastic and well stocked. Plus the service is great. Try it you will like it!!!“

“Today I tried Ken King for the first time and I am SOOOO
happy I did! This is a great place for Asian Cuisine!!
They offer a good variety of dishes and appetizers at a super affordable price! The food we got was more than enough to share and/or save some for another meal tomorrow! Also, the food was fresh and flavorful! The service was exceptional and the interior of this cute little restaurant was so clean!!! We will definitely return…probably weekly lol!!“

“C & J has the best mixed vegetables, fried rice, egg rolls, & sesame chicken. & you can get a meal for a reasonable price. My mother introduced me to this place when I was a little girl. She would get the sweet & sour chicken w/ eggrolls to share with me. Now I've introduced my child to C& J. It still tastes the same. 10/10!“

“How about you take a seat and let me tell you a little bit about this place. A few weeks back the lady and I wanted some noodles and Crab Rangoon’s. So, headed over to CG to acquire the best in town. Upon arrival, we were greeted in the politest fashion. I had a beer or two in me when ordering, so I was a lot to deal with. They worked with us to configure the best take out order ever assembled. That’s not all. During this adventure, I left my phone sitting on a chair I was waiting in. I realized it once I got home, so I headed back to the store to pick it up before close. But to my dismay, I was far too late. They were closed! This was a Sunday evening, and they had already put their heart and souls into making great meals for us patrons all week, so I didn’t blame them for closing up shop for the week after their encounter with me. My phone was sitting there, locked safely inside the store. But because I live and work on that phone, I had to go into recovery mode. I did some digging and found a phone number to call and see if anyone who had a key to the store could meet me on a Monday, WHEN THEY ARE CLOSED FOR THE DAY MIND YOU! And sure enough they did. They met me at the store, handed me my phone and REFUSED the $20 I was offering for the help (should’ve offered more, I realize that now). Long story short, this place rules, the people are great, and we will be going back tonight. 10 out of 10!“

“I took it home to eat, very hot, delicious & plentiful. Leftovers tomorrow!“

“Went there for lunch yesterday, food was awesome?“

“I would’ve gave them 5 stars because the food is great and the service was great too. However, I ordered Shrimp fried rice and they add beef and chicken to it. I had to pick the chicken and beef out of my fried rice while eating it. Other than that everything was good. Best Chinese food I’ve had in a long while. Now I know to check my order before I leave the restaurant.“

“Im unable to give 5 stars. The cheese wantons are made with imitation crab meat my wife could have died. I caught the pink flek before she swallowed. Anything made with sea food of any kind MUST be properly displayed. Your going to kill someone.

Other than that the food was delicious.“

“I've passed this place probably a thousand times over the last 20 years. I never bothered to go in here because I thought it was closed down. I started working a new job a few doors down from this restaurant when I realized they were actually opened. I went into this location because I needed something to eat fast and much to my surprise it was a very good. The vegetable egg rolls were top-tier and the fried rice was fresh and tasty. I will definitely go back it was surprisingly delicious.“

“I gave up on Good Chinese food in this area a long time ago. I moved back to this part of Merrillville and now First Wok is my goto! The Beef and vegetable Chow Mei Fun is absolutely the best I ever had in my life! The eggs rolls are done perfectly also.“

“I love the sweet and sour chicken and the orange Chicken of course And what is this I hear about no more coconut smoothies. I was talking to the lady in front and asked.(The lady is nice and I always like to make people laugh and smile)You guys should definitely bring the coconut back, it was my number 1 favorite. I don't care what anyone else says. Fresh or not but I had to get watermelon which is also my favorite. My food is delicious by the way. Thank you“

“Since I moved from Illinois I have not found a good Chinese food place until yesterday when I ordered at this place. They are #1 for sure! I ordered the combination fried rice and requested it spicy. It had so much meat in it. Every bite was meat full. And the rice was on point great flavor and delicious. Definitely will order again to see if this was real lol. The food was delicious!!“

“Have been a loyal customer to this restaurant for over 40 years and have continued to patronize it despite the inconsistency of food quality. Although I have always been treated kindly when I pick up my order, I can see why patrons complain about management, not overly friendly. It is in serious need of an update as peeling wallpaper and drab interior, regardless of the fact you can’t be seated for a meal, leaves one wondering how kitchen is kept up. At one time it was best Chinese food around, not so anymore.“

“Food was wonderful and the lady behind the counter was super nice. I was over an hour late picking up my order because of unforeseen delays, and she made sure that everything was hot when I got there. They definitely prefer cash which is understandable seeing as credit cards charge them money. I'll be back. Food was incredible.“
