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.
Eggrolls and spring rolls are over fried and swimming in grease. Seems like a basic thing to get right in a Chinese restaurant.
The worst Chinese restaurant I’ve been to, I ordered 3 meals and trashed all of them. The food was super bland they didn’t even bother to add salt to it. What a waste of money!

Most of the time, the food is very tasty. The service is normal, neither good nor bad. Atmosphere is ok for a place used primarily for takeouts.

Just horrible. This place has gone downhill fast. Don’t waste your money. Food overcooked, a roach in my food, and cold when picked up. This place used to be ok. Much better options close by. Sad. They should close or get a new staff/cook.

The food was good food and the service fine. We ate at the restaurant and the AC wasn't turned on so it was pretty hot inside.

This place use to be 5 stars for the price you paid, but now price gone way up and portions are reduced big time. So, I give it 3 stars now.
Revolting. Orange chicken had alot of gristle and tasted old and expired. Spring rolls were greasy as an oil slick. Even the steamed broccoli was oily. I was scared for my stomach.

New, clean location. Drove over an hour and got about 70 dollars in food from this location after confirming it was the same one (chain?) from Reston for my moms birthday...I think they even had the same decorations from the old store (chain?). They perfectly packaged my order. After years it made me so happy my mom was able to enjoy the same hot and sour soup she loved and remembered and has been taking about and missing for years. Thank you from the kid of the "Hot and sour soup lady" lol.
