The order for my wife was wrong. The egg rolls had oil dripping from them and my sweet & sour shrimp tasted like them were fried in old oil. I managed to give her food away as it was untouched.

We came an hour before closing and ordered chicken lo mein and roasted pork with vegetables to-go. Food was fresh and tasty.

The lady who took my order did not speak English, and it was almost impossible to communicate. She clearly did not understand what I was trying to order, and when I asked for someone who speaks English, she refused. As a result, the order I received was nothing like what I came for — I was craving the crispy golden-fried dish I used to enjoy here 15 years ago, and instead I got something completely different.
There are no pictures on the menu to point to, so without communication it was a very frustrating experience. I was extremely disappointed. I probably should have asked for a refund, but I felt they would once again pretend not to understand English. Very upsetting visit.

Only have ever done take away… it’s been awhile but Wow how it’s changed! Food was just OK. But the portion was insulting. When I saw the prices have gone up significantly I thought maybe they’ve bumped it up with portion size, taste, ingredients. Wrong on all levels! Nothing will be worth going back. When I opened the beef & broccoli I thought they gave me leftovers. I always ask for rice on the side because sometimes their sauce is too salty for me. Absolute nothing about this meal was even a pass.

Overall the food I thought tilted toward the bland side. None of the dishes we ordered were something to write to Mom about. Bigest disappointment was the seafood pan fried noodle dish. I thought the noodles should be more crispy even after the sauce is poured over it.
This was my first experience so I might give it a try again.

Went there yesterday and I went to go order my usual surprise surprise the prices went up a dollar and some stuff went up $1.50 and portions are smaller because when I went there last week I had a lot of noodles this time I had a little bit of noodles so I might have to find a new spot that is not going to short me some noodles because like I said last week the price was $10.95 now spending $12 on a smaller portion for my chicken lo mein really now and on top of that the lunch specials went up to like $13 to $12 and it was 10.95 SMH

Great takeout Chinese food, been going here nearly 20 years and never fails to deliver good food. There's some seating inside, and restaurant is located on the re-development of the Cascades marketplace, so expect construction work around the area for the time being.
Ordered “Pork with Vegetables” from China King and what I got was a sad comedy show in a Styrofoam box. The pork? Thin, dry slices that looked like they’d been reheated three times and still begged for water. The “vegetables”? Mostly carrots—seriously, it felt like I ordered Carrots Deluxe with a side of disappointment. A couple of snow peas showed up, probably by accident, and then everything was drowned in a salty brown sauce so heavy it could’ve stripped paint.
No balance, no flavor, just carrots swimming in sludge with pork jerky on top. If this is their idea of Chinese food, I’d hate to see what happens if you order something complicated.
Save yourself the money—buy a bag of baby carrots, dump a bottle of soy sauce on them, and you’ll have a better meal at home.

I usually don't do reviews but I have to I had a problem with them before and figured why not give them another chance, huge mistake I ordered combination fried rice as soon as I open the container, it had a parcular smell as if the dish was spoiled it was the worst food I have ever tasted. My daughter and I couldn't even eat it the fried rice was dry and disgusting, I also got the honey rib tips which are my favorite they weren't even good. I will not be patronizing this restaurant ever again.

I’m unsure of what happened today but they normally get my order right and today they forgot one of my orders. It seemed like a new team then who I normally see

It has been awhile since we've had China King ever since the great reduction of many locations. Thought we would try it again, results were not the same...
Beef and Broccoli - Super salty and the beef was extremely chewy. House Special Lo Mein - Mainly carbs, barely any protein, if I had to put it into a ratio for comparison 8:2. House Special Fried Rice - Same as the lo mein. Orange Chicken - Mostly batter, chicken was on the drier side, honestly doesn't even taste like Orange Chicken but more like a cross between Sweet & Sour Chicken with a mix of General Tso chicken. Teriyaki Chicken - A little lost with this one, nothing was teriyaki about it but more like Kung Pao Chicken minus the dry chili papers. Hot and Sour Soup - mehhh.
One of the best Chinese food restaurants around
