I was really impressed. We ordered take out and when I pulled up I was kind of confused as to where to go. The take out door was a little shady but the kitchen looked clean and we got exactly what we ordered which I thought was great!
But the food was good and flavorful. There was plenty of it. The crab ragoons were really good. The fried rice was very good also.

Not sure what happened to this place, but it is a shadow of it's former self. So any reviews beyond 1 or 2 stars must be fairly old or know the employees. Haven't been to this place in a couple years, so went in expecting way better than what happened. Which seems to be a trend here based on other reviews.

It's take out only, dining area is closed and kept practically dark. No reason given as to why this is. We are well past covid or any other possible reason to still be this way after nearly 6 years since that started.

Food was absolutely terrible. Ordered three different dishes. Two were cooked the traditional way but the breading seemed like it had been previously refridgerated or frozen and reheated. They tasted nearly identical... bland and tasteless. One had three huge pieces of broccoli cut up and thrown into into it that I doubt were even cooked. The last one was what appeared to be store bought or prepackaged breaded chicken cut into strips after being fried. Not even chunks. Just giant strips of breaded chicken. Other than the broccoli, not a veg in sight. Sauces were bland and basically tasted of almost nothing, nothing like the exact same dish we order at other places.

Fried rice was just as bad. Not fried, that I could tell, but it definitely wasnt steamed. Seemed to have some soy splashed into it, but absolutely nothing else. No egg, no vegetables, nada.

The owners and staff should be absolutely ashamed to make and sell what was being passed off as chinese food.

Do yourself a favor and just avoid this place like the plague.

Food was generally pretty good. Hot and sour soup could have had the vegies chopped more finely and could have been a little hotter but did bring water to my eyes - again pretty good
We got Sweet sour chicken, beef with broccoli, shrimp w garlic, general tso, and cashew chckn - will order at China King again - thanks

Not open for dining in. To go only. Need to better advertise they don’t have dine in. A bit late when you get there to read a poorly written sign.

Very upset with how my order was handled. To my knowledge, chow mein is a vegetable/meat/noodle stir-fry, and I suppose I should have specified when ordering. However, this coupled with a $6 order of crab Rangoon not making it to the bag, I decided to reach out and make a trip to rectify (my daughters specifically wanted crab Rangoon and noodles). The response was, it’s not our problem you don’t know the menu, make the trip back and you can purchase more. Very disheartening, especially after leaving a $5 tip on a to-go order. Thank goodness we have more options in this town.

Changed the way they make their Dragon and Phoenix dish. Sauce was too sweet, and shrimp was not fried. They are still not open for seating,

This was the worst service in food that I have ever eaten in the Chinese restaurants I recommend that nobody ever goes to this restaurant it is the worst.

We arrived there only to find out that it is to go only. This was not posted on line, only on the door.

Everything was just ok, it's what you would expect from a buffet.

We went in expecting to dine in but we had to order takeout because the entire restaurant is full of boxes, it's like walking into a storage unit. The food was great, although they didn't put enough mushrooms in and carrots in.

But they have plenty of beef and chicken (BTW, I ordered the Happy Family and my mom ordered the wontons).

Called to place an order, the man had no customer skills and seemed put out to be taking an order. Got sesame chicken lunch special with wonton soup. Chicken was mainly super dry with one chunk of undercooked thrown in. Wonton soup was good. It’s take out only and the place seems like a storage facility inside. When I picked up the order he again seemed perturbed to have a customer to have to deal with. This place used to be great, hate to see what it’s become.
