My first time here, as I stopped by while waiting for my car to be serviced. This restaurant is tucked away in a strip mall, making it a convenient option for those in the area. When I visited, the place was eerily quiet, with no other diners, which made the atmosphere feel a bit dull. I ordered food based on a friend's suggestion, and it turned out to be a good choice. The menu features typical Chinese fare, and the food was decent overall. The egg rolls were more like crispy spring rolls, and the portions were generous--perfect for a quick lunch. Being really hungry, I decided to try their chicken dishes, something I usually avoid at Chinese restaurants. To my surprise, the chicken was quite good, with a balanced flavor that wasn't too overpowering. The food met expectations for a casual meal. The strip mall offers plenty of parking, making this an easy stop if you're in the area and need a quick, no-fuss bite to eat. read more

Moved here recently and we wanted some Chinese food. Ordered from China King because it was not far from us. I feel this restaurant lost their passion for good food. Took one bite of Chicken fried rice and it was so bad we threw it out. Some kind of weird rice fried in what I can only imagine was very old oil. Egg rolls were not crispy and lukewarm warm in the middle as if they took frozen ones and popped it in the microwave. Won Ton soup had these very thick chewy noodles as if they took Pillsbury dough and used that. Egg foo young was fried in rancid oil and the shrimp in it was mushy. Felt like this was cooked before hand and again thrown in the Microwave. Pu Pu platter was a disappointment as the fried stuff was dripping in grease and the meat suspect. Such a shame because they are so close and would have had takeout many times in the future. Hire a new cook China King! read more

China King - a bowl of rice, broccoli, and chicken - Chinese Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

This is a family favorite, and I think one of the best Chinese takeout places in the area. The menu is pretty standard, but I think the quality is a good notch better than most places. I've only done take out here, and the service for that is always on time and has been correct every time I have gone. read more

Wow I was impressed with the quality of the food and the flavors! I've only tried this place once, but the sauce for the beef &broccoli was so good. I also liked the Triple Delight. I don't usually like the soups at Chinese-amer fast food places, but the hot & sour soup was pretty good! (Heads up: very spicy tho) Portions are pretty generous, so that's a plus. Everything was pretty salty, that's the only downside. Other than that, I loved the sauces and flavors. Normally it's all the same, but I swear this place is special! read more

Service was phenomenal! The food was ready fast and fresh! Will definitely dine-in again!

My wife and I had worked up quite a appetite after a rigorous two hour Saturday afternoon bike ride. We decided to order takeout from a nearby Chinese restaurant called China King. The "King" is located in a strip mall along a busy commercial stretch of Jackson Rd. known for car dealerships...10 of them in a half mile. But I'm here for Moo Goo Gai Pan rather than a Chevy Truck. I also ordered the General Tso's Chicken and a quart of the China King's "House Special" Fried Rice. What distinguishes one Chinese restaurant from so many others with essentially the same menu? We were especially impressed with three things at China King: 1. The quality and freshness of the veggies 2. The fact that the Fried Rice contained the trifecta of chicken, pork and shrimp 3. China King' uses 100% vegetable oil and its food never contains MSG. It was these subtle points in the King's favor that edged my rating up to 4 shiny stars. read more

When I went here I went to celebrate my friend's birthday. The employees thought I was Chinese but I politely told them I was Korean. It was pretty quiet and seems like an average Chinese restaurant. It was very spacious so the room was not a problem for a group of friends.When I ordered the food it came out pretty quick with large portions. I ordered the beef with broccoli (I forgot what it was called). The presentation was so pretty and I had to get a snap of it. Overall I enjoyed the meal and had a great time. However, it would be my last time going and think I tried better Chinese food. However, I would recommend others to go. Onward to find the true authentic Asian food! read more

Spring roll was very much like an egg roll (or they gave us the wrong thing) and both spring and egg roll seemed stale and were very, very greasy. Main dishes were also very greasy and bland. Probably because of the grease, had a bit of stomach upset for several hours after eating. read more

I'm revising my review of this Chinese take out place based on several additional experiences. My previous review have this place two stars and called it "mediocre." After several more take out meals I felt the need to upgrade to three stars and revise my overall assessment to "very ordinary." The food isn't bad, it's just a disappointment in this college town full of foreign students, ex pats and visitors that we can't have a decent Chinese restaurant. China King is not a great Chinese restaurant but rather a very ordinary American/Chinese restaurant that one might find anywhere in the US. Sigh... read more

Cute little place. Good wonton soup. Great lunch special pricing and fast service. I am looking forward to trying more items on the menu. I order Hunan Shrimp lunch combo. HUGE beautiful shrimp in this dish. I was really surprised. Really great dish. Easy location too. Can't claim they are the best yet but it the wonton soup is any indications, I am on board so far. read more

I picked up my lunch order today and there was one lady in the front area with screaming kids. She gave me my order - told me the total- took my money- gave me change and walked away. Not one indication of "Thank You" They're also tacking on a $1.50 courtesy charge. When I got home with my lunch, I got a completely ill prepared dish and did not get the sauce I requested for my egg roll. I called and the lady answered and said that is how my dish (shrimp and lobster sauce) was made and that I was the one who requested brown sauce instead of white sauce. I told her that I've done exactly the same thing in past orders and today's meal was NOTHING like it should have been. He kids continued yelling in the background....she insisted that was how the dish should be prepared. We had a stand off. Won't patronize this establishment again. read more

Their General Tso Chicken is still so good as well as their wonton soup. For $9.00 the portion sizing is reasonable! read more

I came to China King based on others' Yelp review and I have to say I was disappointed. China King does average-quality takeout Chinese. If you are expecting more, you will be disappointed. First, I'd have to strongly recommend against a dine-in experience. The seating area is quite minimal and not particularly comfortable. While we were there the staff seemed overwhelmed and we barely received any attention. It took about 10 minutes for us to get water! As to the food, it was OK, fairly bland. The Hot and Sour soup was neither particularly spicy nor sour. Many of the ingredients from the Happy Family and the Beef Ho Fun were clearly canned or otherwise processed. The string bean dish was well cooked with a nice toothy feel, but even this dish was underseasoned. The rice was overcooked. This is a tell tale sign of a restaurant that is trying to pinch pennies rather than pay attention to important details. If you are looking for standard takeout and live in the neighborhood, China King is fine. If you are looking for anything more, keep on looking. read more

Great Chinese food probably the best sweet and sour sauce we have ever had. The food was cooked for us and was piping hot, economical price. Friendly staff we highly recommend. read more

I've come to see China King as dependable, delicious, and a great value over the years - then had the Curry Chicken last night which was just crazy good and one of the most crave-able Ann Arbor dishes I've had read more

Was craving some Chinese food and decided to come here. I think the price was pretty okay- only $10 for a combo meal that came with sweet and sour chicken, fried rice and an egg roll, but the food was not good. I guess you get what you pay for. Besides that the service was okay and it didn't take long for the food to be prepared it just was not good. read more

I have gotten take out from China King a few times. It's a solid spot for a few of my favorites--their General Tsos chicken and sesame chicken have both always been great. Big chunks of meat, good flavor. They also deliver really quickly! However, other menu items are not quite as good. The spring rolls are so oily they are inedible. Crab rangoons and dumplings are just ok. All in all, a solid Chinese takeout option in Ann Arbor. read more

Ordered take out from here the other night after having the weirdest craving for Chinese food, which I usually don't even like. The restaurant looks clean and well kept, however there was no one dining in. I came in around 6:30 so I was a little skeptical the place would be good based on no diners. Maybe this is mainly a take-out restaurant, who knows. My sister has always said she enjoyed their food so I gave it a go. All three of us ordered entrees along with some eggs rolls and crab wontons (which I affectionately call crab cheese). The sister raved about the egg rolls, but I found them just OK. Crab wontons were surprisingly very good; fried correctly with a nice amount of crab/cream cheese mixture. My beef egg foo young was alright, however I couldn't really taste any beef but from my experience all egg foo young tastes the same. What I really like about this place is how affordable it is. For a little over $30 bucks we got enough food to last practically 5 days. Three egg foo young patties? Daaannngggg. For Americanized Chinese, this place isn't half bad. read more

I am shocked and appauled that China King hasn't gotten more reviews on here! I first went to China King on a whim, after reading the glowing review of Amer. As of most places, I was a little hesitant in what to except, but boy, it blew my expectations out of the water. If you've read any of my other reviews on Chinese food, or food in general, you know that I'm sort of picky when it comes to the quality of my General's chicken. If I had it my way, Chinese places would team up with BDubs, and turn Asian Zing boneless wings, fried rice, and an egg roll into the most amazing meal ever. Out of sheer inconvenience, I've never made this dream a reality, although it would be fairly simple. Anyway, the General's chicken at China King was yelp 5-star worthy. I specifically requested the white meat, and still didn't know what I would get, but it was great. No mystery meat here folks. If you have a discerning toungue like I do when it comes to your General's chicken, this place is definitely worth a try. read more

Good solid Americanized Chinese food; the sort of stuff your parents or grandparents would consider exotic. Makes some reasonable salty, sweet comfort food. Easy pickup if you've got a car; Jackson Road isn't the best location for fetching takeout by bike, but it can be done. There were a reasonable number of people eating there, but the soda machine in the dining room feels like they took over a Taco Bell location and didn't bother rearranging the appliances. Veggie Moo Shu, Orange Chicken, and all the old stand-bys are here; much more "the Chinese food of your childhood" than "the food your friend's Chinese parents cook." Still, on a cold night it'll warm you up. read more

I really hate to give unsavory reviews, but I was really underwhelmed with the quality of China King. For a strip mall restaurant, it was clean inside and the staff was friendly. However, the food was atrocious. I ordered plain ole sesame chicken, and the sauce was like sweet & sour-soy hybrid. It was not good. It was also orange. No sesame to be found, unfortunately. read more

Fast and reasonable cost. Food is great. Great Hot and Sour soup. Eat in, take out, and delivery. I have enjoyed the Mongolian Beef, Orange Beef, General Tso Chicken, and Pepper Steak. read more

Like the food, loathe the service. Phoned in a pick up, arrived 15 minutes later. Still waiting on my meal after being in the restaurant for another 15 minutes (so that's 30 minutes between the time they took my order and sort of had my food ready), and they screwed up half of my order. I asked them to remedy this, which they did. I just do not feel that there is a reason for me to wait in restaurant for an additional 20 minutes, esp when a person orders after I did and receives their meal and is on their way while I'm still left waiting. I won't be coming back unless someone else offers to pick up the food. read more

Good food and great people working the front. Very pleasant, accommodating, and kind. The almond boneless chicken could be a larger portion, not as big as other Chnese restaurants that I have been to, but delicious. read more

I've eaten chinese food all over the place, and this is good, fast 'american' chinese fare with high quality ingredients. Good fresh vegetables, real quality chicken, good strong flavors. Chicken with garlic sauce is outstanding. Loved the egg roll and won ton soup too. read more

I've been going to this place since I was 2 years old.. I'm now 21 years old and this is still my favorite Chinese restaurant.. hands down best egg rolls you'll have!! read more

TERRIBLE!!! I live close to this establishment, and know of family who like it, so my son and I tried it. Upon walking in, the place was dirty....not a customer in sight. Dirty dishes left on tables. Mop bucket in plain sight next to counter. We waited about 20 minutes for our food (after being told it would be 10), then went home. I ordered sesame chicken and a spring roll, and my son ordered sweet and sour chicken. We were disappointed. The sesame chicken tasted funny and so did the broccoli in that meal. My son did not like his sweet and sour chicken. The spring roll was horrible. We will not go back, or order from them again. read more

WORST SERVICE. EVER. I came in hearing some mediocre reviews, so not expecting anything impressive here, but serious...do they even make an attempt to pay attention to the line standing at the register? Got over that. Waited. Paid. Waited some more, having already placed an order in 45 min ago (2 entrees), and waited some more. People felt bad for me, started to get a little restless themselves just watching me struggle to receive service. Just nuts. Received food. One of them being the wrong order intirely, second being INEDIBLE. Chopped celery, bamboo shoots, and salty broth does NOT qualify as Kung Pao Chicken, to ANYONE, ANYWHERE. ........weeeeeird. Egg Rolls? Mushy naste inside, where I PICKED OUT THREE HAIRS....... In a nutshell? NOT IF MY LIFE WAS IN JEOPARDY. read more

Tasty, freshly made American Chinese food. This is my go to on this side of AA for when that General Tso's craving hits. Portions are generous and they don't upcharge for fried rice! Food is made quickly, employees are nice and they've never once messed up an order. What more do you want from take out Chinese? read more

THE WORST THING: When I was picking up the food I saw the cook go to the bathroom, and exit the bathroom 3 seconds after flushing the toilet. It was very obvious he did not wash his hands! GROSS! Will not go back, PERIOD! Was expecting it to be your classic Chinese good and affordable place. Well not so much. Prices were consistent with the "cheap" restaurant atmosphere but the meal did not look like the picture on the wall, the broccoli that was on the picture was not included. Not good to find out when you arrive home with your food. read more

China King is the BEST Chinese food in Ann Arbor! I ate there with my husband for the first time today, and we were both impressed. I would say it's the best food I've ever had at a take-out Chinese restaurant. Usually at Chinese places, you have to expect at least one thing to be a little less delicious than you'd like--either it's the egg roll, the fried rice, the white rice, the soup--it could even be the main course. But everything we ordered at China King was great!!! I ordered the mushroom egg foo young, which came with 3 egg foo young patties and very flavorful gravy, with fluffy white rice. The rice was not dry and hard, like in some restaurants! I was glad they had such tasty white rice because sometimes I don't want fried rice. My husband ordered the sweet and sour pork with chicken fried rice and an egg roll. The pork was cooked to a perfect texture, with a crispy batter on the outside. The sweet and sour sauce was served on the side, which is preferable. The fried rice and egg roll were the best we'd ever had!!! The egg roll didn't have those strange red bits of "meat" inside, either. Everything that had been fried was very crispy and hot--nothing was soggy and there wasn't that "old" oil flavor at all. So many Chinese restaurants taste the same, or just taste cheap. China King has a high quality flavor, but at a low price. Our total bill for dinner was only $15, and it was plenty of food. The restaurant itself is very clean, and a cozy size. The staff were nice, and a little quiet, and the service was quick. I asked how long the restaurant has been around, and was told 2 1/2 years. We usually dine downtown Ann Arbor, or between Ypsilanti and Ann Arbor. Jackson Road on the north side is a little off our radar, so we hadn't heard of China King until searching for reviews today. It's worth the drive for good Chinese--nothing else in the area compares!! read more

Food- The food was timely and tasty! Brown rice was a huge plus for me. Service- You should not always take bad service personally but I had to walk out halfway through my meal bc I was so upset. We were not seated, not given any water or napkins. At first the previously stated was not a huge problem but it was then done for subsequent customers. We then mentioned to the waitress that we did not get any water...she rolled her eyes and pointed to cups on the counter. I left and wished I had not paid. read more
