We have been in Atlantic Beach four days visiting and we've tried all the restaurants that people have recommended and not been very impressed. We ordered this because we needed something fast and late for takeout after a long day. Let me tell you, the value for the food is fantastic. The food was some of the best Chinese food and Basil Fried Rice we've ever had. read more

For such a simple place, it was actually quite good. I ordered chicken with mixed vegetables and white rice. It was in brown sauce. I also got an egg roll and soup. Both were good as well. I may try the Thai selections next time as I am encouraged by how good this was. Very fresh, cooked to order, and prompt. Excellent. read more

It is what it is! Chinese Take-Out. It reminds me of childhood. Food is perfectly good and always too much. With other Asian fusion places popping up everywhere, it could use a pep in its step. All in all it is good. read more

Upping my review tonight...the food we ordered for takeout was DELICIOUS. Apparently the Thai dishes are the way to go. As I stated before, they do NOT skimp on portions NOR the proteins of their entrees. We had the shrimp pad thai, the thai basil beef fried rice...and the combo singapore noodles. It was ready on time and they even threw in a nice holiday wall calender gift- great customer service always. read more

Everything about this was absolutely delicious. Hands down the best Chinese food I've had in a while. This was my first time trying their food and I couldn't be more satisfied. Wont be going anywhere else! read more

I like to call my order in ahead of time as there's a sign saying they are a little short staffed so wait time be longer than normal. I've never had to wait! My order is ready when I get there! It's hot and delicious! read more

Ordered the Shrimp Chow mein. Holy crap it was too salty to even eat. And l love salt. W

This is our go to takeout food on the island. The food is delicious and anyone can find something they'll like on the menu! My family has ordered from here countless times and we've always loved the food. Our takeout is hot and ready right on time, every single time. Good food and friendly staff overall read more

Excellent food, nice and casual family atmosphere. I got wonton soup and garlic chicken and both were very tasty.

Good Chinese takeout! It's your classic no-frills Chinese takeaway. We had a Sweet and Sour chicken and a General Tso's chicken. Both were great! So happy to have this down the road for those lazy dinner nights. The restaurant also has some indoor seating if you'd like to eat in. Will be back! read more

Ordered take out. Wonton soup tasted like cool water, no flavor. Egg roll tasted as if it was fried in old oil yesterday. Chicken & Steak plate-the chicken was good and steak was too tough to chew. read more

After eating pizzas, pasta, and subs for several days we all needed a change up and decided to order from here. Is it the best Chinese food? No. But is it the worst? No. It is what it is for a small beach town--I think it's the only Chinese restaurant near our rental without having to cross the bridge to Moorhead City? They have very reasonable lunch specials that was more than enough food for one person. I would not recommend any of the Teriyaki items, it was a lot of food but it was not very good and came with with this white sauce. Beef and broccoli, kung pao chicken, lo mein, chicken and garlic sauce were all decent. FYI, the pork dishes are all made with roast pork. read more

Ugh! Barely edible. Our group of four ordered different dishes...no one enjoyed their food. The menu doesn't describe dishes well so I asked a few questions. The ingredients I was told were in my dish were incorrect. Good thing I wasn't allergic to any of that stuff. Just frustrating all around. I would never eat here again even if it was free. Slow grumpy service. Needs cleaning. Avoid. read more

China King is hands down the best Americanized Chinese food I've ever tasted. After growing up in Maine, where the Chinese food isn't great, I had low expectations, but this place really impressed me and now it's my favorite lunch/dinner spot in the area. I highly recommend the fried donuts and the crab rangoon. read more

I might eat here every day of my trip. The food is DELICIOUS, and so much variety. I ordered the Bean Curd Szechuan Style and veggie fried rice. Service was friendly and communication (in English) was not a problem. My favorite place to stay on the Crystal Coast is Atlantis Lodge, and now I've found my favorite restaurant just a few minutes away. China King! read more

Food was typical American chinese. I was got made to order. Had the chicken and broccoli combo. It was good. Cost was $8. I would recommend this place. read more

Very greasy food. Egg roll dripped in grease. Pork lo mein was greasy and very sparse on the pork. Great Wall in Emerald Isle is much better. O read more

Delicious!!! We had the general tso's chicken, dumplings, vegetable lo mein, and sesame chicken and it was all wonderful. The fried rice is amazing as well, some of the best I've had. Even the sauce for the dumplings wasn't just regular soy sauce in a packet, it was delicious! The indoor was super clean and the workers were very nice and helpful! I would definitely eat from here again. :) read more

Best hot & sour soup that I have EVER eaten!!! Cannot wait to try many of their other very traditional meals.

After living here 7 yearsI finally ordered takeout. I'm kicking myself for taking so long. I order beef and broccoli, white rice and an egg roll. All was delicious! Friendly service. Great prices and portion size. Clean restaurant. read more

Good takeout spot! Lo mein and bourbon chicken are good. Check your bag before you leave. They forgot to put one of my entrees in.

Sucks! Must be front for laundering money for the mob! Chicken was was super chewy and the place was cheap as in decor not the food.

Standard take out Chinese food. Got the ribs. Did not realize the ribs were actually boned ribs. Food was good. A little too sweet for my taste. My niece said the rice was a little salty. Fortune cookies were stale. Would go again if I was hankering for chinese. There are better places I have been to. Price was standard for take out as well. read more

Awesome little restaurant with fantastic food and prices. 100% Covid compliant. Super quiet and relaxing. We had a wonderful lunch here. General Tsos chicken, sweet n sour chicken, order of wontons and 2 sodas for $18. We will definitely be back!! read more

Very impressed with the food here! Hard to find good Tofu, it was awesome!! Surprised to see such negative reviews!! I will be ordering take out from here from now on! Best Chinese food around in my opinion!!!! read more

This place is so good!!!!!! They have the best Tofu ever. Tastes just like chicken. And I love looking at all their jewelry while I'm waiting for my food. It's a great price for the amount of food you get, and the owners are so nice. read more

We are locals year round in Atlantic Beach and treasure this family run Asian restaurant. Favorite dishes include the Singapore noodles, Mongolian beef, and Kung Pao Chicken. Everything is fresh made to order so patience is key. Never had a bad dish. Eat here and/or do carry out once a week. And you cannot beat the $5 lunch specials. Step away from the the common dishes and explore the spice and fusions of many regions. Also many vegetarian and low carb dishes too!!! read more

Family owned and run. Good, fast and inexpensive hole in the wall. Reminds me of China Town.

China King is a thoroughly adequate strip-mall Chinese joint. Food comes from the kitchen on styrofoam plates into a dining room that looks like every other strip-mall Chinese restaurant you've ever been in. The real key for my group, though, was the many tofu/bead curd options on the menu. There were two listed on their daily specials board with several other options listed on the regular menu. The two vegans, two vegetarians, and one tofu-loving omnivore were very very pleased - plenty of filling vegan eats for a very reasonable price. We'll undoubtedly be back. read more

Came in for the inexpensive buffet offered M-F until 2:30. Food was cold, was charged for a soda I neither ordered nor wanted. Food was barely palatable. So bad I left after a few bites. Will never return, nor order take out from here. Least favorite Chinese place in Cartaret County NC do far. read more

Simply awful! General Tso's chicken didn't have chicken. Just fried blobs of batter smothered in sauce. Everything else was pretty bad too. I can only hope I don't become I'll after eating this garbage. read more

Friendly owners, good food. Had curry chicken, beef broccoli, egg foo young. Go with the brown rice; you won't be disappointed.

STAY AWAY! Absolutely terrible. Went in because were on vacation. Sign says 11-2 M-F lunch buffet 5.99 with free drink. Went in and were charged for soda and was told you only get the 5.99 price if you buy a drink and they are 2.00. So for 2 people it's 15 bucks. The sodas are flat and have a water line hooked into them to water them down. Of course no ice because the water is routed to the soda line. Foods terrible they had nothing on the buffet. 10 trays maybe and half were empty. There is nothing here worth anything. I'd be mad if this meal was free let alone paying for it. I'm just hoping we don't get sick it's that bad.. Do not waste your time. read more

Four Seasons, delicious ! Fresh and tasty ! Friendly and gracious host ! I will definitely recommend this place to my family and friends! Clean and inviting dining area. Eat in or take out. read more

After just moving back to the beach about a year ago, we had tried this place for house rice, egg rolls and run-of-the-mill Chinese. Last night we decided to try the Japanese options on the menu. Huge mistake! Paid $10 each plate for steak and chicken Hibachi. The rice was good but that was it. The "steak" was just weird. I could not put my finger on it but I ended up spitting out each piece I tried thinking it was the fatty part of a piece of steak. The whole thing was that way so I just stopped eating it. (Neither of us could eat it.) The texture of the chicken seemed normal but the entire dish was swimming in this brown sweet liquid that seemed like it was watered down teriyaki sauce or something? I have never experienced Hibachi like that and never want to again. I gave 2 stars since the Chinese I have had there was okay but now I am second-guessing the restaurant and will try to find another Chinese place to frequent. read more

I knew this place was small so I should have expected a very small buffet. The food was fair but there is not enough variety for my taste. I like the larger buffets where you get more choices. read more

We ordered the family for three. They were small portions. The food was not served at the same time and we had a small child with us. We asked for an extra Styrofoam plate to give the kiddo some food on while we were waiting. They charged 50 cents a plate. We had fountain drinks and once we filled the cup they shut off the machine so we couldn't get a refill. We had to ask every time for them to turn on the machine to refill our drinks. They also had a child who was very cute and nice serving food, but he served our drinks with his hands over the lip of the cup, touching your drink and the food was served the same way. We live in AB and for the money and service, I would recommend another spot in town. read more
