    Forst time from out of town. Food was great. I had two orders which were adequate amount of food. Recommended

    General tso's chicken

    I was watching food videos and there were a lot of Chinese foods to look at so I decided to order some near by. This place is just down the road and I was able to order online which was convenient to look at the menu and order and get a total and time it would be done without having to call. I ordered the steamed dumplings, honey chicken combo for me and ordered the general tso's chicken for my fiancée. After I placed the order I waited until it was closer to the time it would be ready to head over. Went picked it up and the check out was fast and the lady at the counter was very nice. I grabbed a few sauce packets in case I needed them. I tried the dumplings first since they would get cold the fastest. The dipping sauce for them was amazing and the dumplings them selves were so big and juicy. I almost ate the whole tray myself in just a few mins. I will definitely be getting more of them in the future. The honey chicken wasn't as sweet or sticky like I'm used to but it was still very good, and the veggies were perfectly cooked with a little bit to them. The fried rice felt like it was almost undercooked but it didn't leave any gritty feeling so I think its just how they are fried. The general tso's chicken is not spicy at all and actually more sweet and bbq like. It's still good but if you want spicy you'll probably have to ask for it to be. The white rice was really good and soft and the egg roll was really crispy. I might try some different dishes next time but I'm definitely going to get those dumplings next time.

    This is a typical strip mall Chinese place. A few tables, but most of their business is take-out. And what a business it is. The food. I had a lunch special Mongolian beef with white rice and hot and sour soup. If the kitchen can make very good hot and sour soup, then the rest of the food is usually great. This once again held true for China King. Excellent soup. The right taste, heat, texture and ingredients. The Mongolian beef was also very good although a little chewy but hey, it usually is. The woman that took my order was very friendly and courteous. This is the best regular Americanized Chinese take-out joint I have found around here.

    THIS IS WHAT CHINESE FOOD SHOULD TASTE LIKE!!! If you can't tell Im just really excited to have found a Chinese place in Columbia equivalent to New York Chinese takeout. Everyone at China King was friendly. It is family owned and a little boy took our order. I knew it was good when he was the one taking out order. It just felt right. The specials are cheap and come with A LOT of food! My boyfriend and I got the Lo-Mein special and the Orange chicken special. For 8.95 it comes with fried rice and an egg roll (pics included). I will be in a food coma for days, but very content.

    The general Tso's and Hunan chicken are great and the food is best when you order during the most busy hours.

    I have mixed feelings…read more I ordered a ramen soup with pork. It tasted 'ok'. Not the worst I've had, not the best. I was happy to try it though. What I didn't really like was their policy of charging money for tap water. You don't expect this in America. I went to their soda machine to get some water, thinking there would be some cheap $0.01 plastic cups, and that's when I saw a sign saying you have to pay for water. NOT what I expected after ordering and paying for a ramen soup. I asked if there was any way to get a free cup of water, thinking maybe they kept the cups behind the counter, and they said no, you have to buy a cup for the tap water. In my mind, if you have to nickle and dime us $0.50 for tap water, you're doing things wrong as a business. Charge what you have to so people don't have to ask about paying money for tap water and you don't have to put up stupid signs saying you have to pay for water. I mean, come on. That looks SO PETTY and CHEAP! This place was so low life, they even had signs saying don't sit down until you order something taped on the walls all around the restaurant. That really made it look cheap. Where am I, China? Pakistan? Didn't feel like Japan... and certainly didn't feel like America. I didn't try to use the restroom. I don't know if they charge a fee for that... or the toilet paper... I think we as a society need to strongly push back against this type of 'fee' trend in restaurants. Yea, it's their business and they can run it the way they want, but I can also give a poor review and not come back. Your choice. I would of tipped the worker $3-4 based on service. Instead I was charged $0.50 and won't come back.

We were instructed to seat ourselves, and was greeted immediately by our server. It's not huge inside but there is plenty of seating along with bar seating as well. We ordered so much! For starters we ordered the Cucumbers with garlic sauce which were so good, the cabbage which was packed with so much flavor, and the spring rolls which I didn't get a chance to try but my mom loved them. We also got an order of the Pan Fried Vegetable buns which were so pillowy soft, and scallion pancakes which were so good. The scallion pancakes were more crispy than what I'm used to and I would have preferred more scallions, but the flavor was still really good. For our course we ordered the Noodles in scallion oil with vegetables and the Sesame pasta noodles with vegetables. Everything was delicious and you get really nice portions. Our server was so nice and checked in us frequently. Overall, we really enjoyed our meal and glad we got a chance to try it out. We'll definitely be back for more!

    JJ's Tea House has been a staple for years and I am so glad I finally got a chance to try them…read more Their pork based broth is so flavorful and perfectly balanced. Their noodles have a great texture to them and make their soups absolutely standout from the rest. The shrimp bao buns have great texture and flavor! The staff is friendly and the service is quick!

Service was quick, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming--especially thanks to the owner, who is absolutely adorable and always greets guests with a big smile. I ordered the unagi rice bowl, and it was amazing. The eel was cooked perfectly--tender with just the right amount of char--and the sauce had a great balance of sweet and savory. The steamed egg is one of my favorite sides. We also tried the crispy tofu appetizer and the popcorn chicken rice bowl. The tofu was super crispy and flavorful, though the popcorn chicken could use a touch more seasoning. To top it all off, I had a green tea with boba, and the boba was cooked perfectly as always--soft and chewy with just the right texture. Highly recommend JJ's for a cozy lunch with delicious food and friendly service!

The drinks were blended very well and used fresh lime juice, which was nice. The appetizers -- the kimchi fries and the boneless wings were pretty standard. The fries were crunchy, but we felt like there was more cheese than there was kimchi and sauce, so we've had better kimchi fries elsewhere. The cheese was very gooey though. The boneless wings weren't as crunchy as they could have been, especially coming out in a stone dish, but the garlic soy sauce was still pretty good. Our mains were really good -- the japchae, which I ordered with fried tofu, had the right texture and flavor, and was delicious yet spicy. The tofu was a little bland though. My partner enjoyed the squid and pork belly dish and said that the sauce was similar to the japchae sauce. The portions were pretty normal and not too big, so we had a few leftovers but not too many. The prices were also pretty reasonable as well. Overall we were really happy with our food here and would come back if we ever visited again.

I went on a weekday morning when it wasn't too packed, and I really enjoyed the authentic deli ambiance, which isn't the easiest thing to find in this neck of the woods.

After my meal, I enjoyed wandering around the other side of the restaurant for a few minutes, which included a cigar room, an enormous wine cellar, and a host of fine cheeses that I had never heard of before!
