Best Sesame Chicken in area, and it is my Go-to order all over. They state on the menu that "Sesame Chicken with white meat" and they deliver! It is lightly battered and paired with a flavorful sauce plus toasted sesame seeds. Wow! Lunch special is $10.15 with choice of rice and choice of egg roll or soda. I rarely eat egg rolls, but the crispy exterior of this one tempted me. Delicious. Liked the crunchy vegetables. Only aftertaste. The Boneless Pork Sparerib lunch special ($10.95) was very good. The pork was tender, and the sauce was a perfect complement to the meat. It was not too salty or sweet. My husband enjoyed it. Their Sweet and Sour Soup is outstanding as I mentioned in an earlier review. It is another Go-to item I order a lot. So, I consider myself a good judge of its quality. read more

Tiny little gem hidden amongst many stores. It was fast and yummy. The owners are very nice.

Pretty good. Fried rice and little hard, but everything else was good very clean and friendly staff. Great menu they offer a lot of variety. Try them out there not bad. read more

This is some GOOD Chinese food y'all. I ordered delivery, it showed up quickly and was piping hot. The dumpling sauce was so garlicky, and the crab Rangoons were the best I've ever had... the wontons were so thin and crispy. Bourbon chicken was also perfect, big pieces of perfectly cooked chicken with an amazing sauce. Highly recommend China king! read more

It was definitely food. And it was definitely edible. But it was not that good. The egg roll was burnt and tasted off. I don't get to have much Chinese food anymore so when I do it's a treat that's few and far between. This one was super disappointing. It was good enough. But it wasn't by any means great. read more

China King is a good place to order Chinese takeout, which is located at Mohawk Commons next to Verizon Wireless. This place is very cozy with order counter, open kitchen, and a few tables for eating in. They offer the standard Chinese dishes including Szechuan and Hunan specialties. They offer 50 Luncheon Specials served Mon-Sat before 3PM($5.15-$5.45), 30 Special Combination Platters ($7.25-$7.30), and also Health Food Selections. No MSG is added to the food. I've ordered dinner takeout from China King a few times. My friend lives only 3 minutes from here, which makes this place very convenient to stop and pick up a filling meal at a reasonable price. I've had the roast pork lo mein (very soft noodles with a mix of vegetables & roast pork strips) and the Szechuan beef (very soft beef slices, fresh mixed vegetables including broccoli, snow peas, onions, carrots, water chestnuts in a thick spicy sauce), both dishes taste good. The pork fried rice (yellow color) is mostly soft rice with a few pork cubes, onion, and sprouts. The egg roll is not too greasy has a good mix of soft shredded cabbage and pork. The service here is quick and courteous. (3.4 stars) FREE DELIVERY ($10 minimum) read more

The food here is utterly mundane, with respect to Chinese and Asian cuisine, which is to say it's completely standard Americanized Chinese takeout. This means it's heavy on sauces, extra sweet, not very spicy (although they do claim to adjust spiciness, asking for "hot" on a Szechuan dish resulted in the addition of one chili pepper), and with American-substitute veggies for the most part. But with that disclaimer aside, for what it is, they perfectly execute the American-style Chinese takeout. Service: clear conversation with the order-taker resulted in our leaving 17 minutes after arriving with our order, despite the fact there were obviously multiple orders ahead of us on a busy night. Correct, computer-printed list of dishes, and the clerk repeated our order upon taking it and upon giving us the bags. Servings: large, and packed in modern plastic re-usable storage boxes, with clear lids, not the classic drippy hard to see what's inside cardboard boxes. Our dumpling order had eight generous dumplings in it. Ingredients: decent, decent enough. Veggies ample but not to the exclusion of meat dishes. Our Szechuan beef had a pleasingly full compliment of ingredients. They had actual sun clouds in the hot and sour, although no golden needles (I can't really expect the latter, given the difficulty in obtaining them here, except in a sit-down higher end restaurant). The hot and sour soup was more sour than hot -- I tend to like the sourness, but my wife likes it hotter -- but the main point here was the soup showed a modicum of originality and lack of having been ladled out of a can. Preparation: veggies were cooked but still green - we like them just a tad crispier but it's a lot better than the overcooked stuff you get at most locations. Kitchen visible to all, clean, and employees seen to be washing their hands on multiple occasions during our visit. The "Crispy Green Beans" weren't crispy, but they were at least still stiff (swimming in sauce, as, see above, you tend to expect from takeout joints). Orange chicken was just a little light on broccoli, but again, at takeout joints I'm used to seeing little to no brocc in the same dish. Extras: a ton of fortune cookies to make the kids happy, beyond the minimum number, and they weren't stale. A couple of other minor notes: * while the menu is standard, from the extra dishes, the house specialty regional cuisine seems to be Szechuan. That said, we didn't get the real szechuan vibe from the dish we ordered; we'll try asking for "real" szechuan spicing next time and see how it goes. * There are 12 seats in the place, but it's counter service and I don't see any point in dining in. * The backlit picture-menu at top makes it seem like it's shooting for that Panda Express market, but it's closer to traditional independent Chinese takeout. read more

China King Kitchen - Kind of a fast food menu display inside, but the menu is more standard takeout, with the regional specialty being szechuan. - Chinese Near Me - Schenectady, New York

Local Chinese food and it's our go-to location in the area. The owner is fantastic as the order is always timely and prompt. As for the quality, with no MSG used, I can say this food is good! This establishment is mainly for take out, however, there are small tables to eat in if you read more

This is a fairly decent restaurant to go to although I do believe that things could have been better which is why I gave it three stars. They are very conscious of the covid-19 and require you to take a menu from the outside look at the menu order and then come in and pick up the food when it is completed allowing only two people in the building at a time because it is a very small building. I ordered a sesame chicken combo meal and crab rangoon and my wife ordered is sweet and sour chicken and unfortunately the sesame chicken that I received was very dry and did not really have a lot of flavor to it the pork fried rice was good and my wife did think that the sweet and sour chicken was good as well as the pork fried rice did not get the Eggroll That was supposed to come with my meal. And also the crab rangoon I must say we're spot on they were very good. I can't say if it was just a fluke situation or if it was something that is a regular occurrence with this place but I will say that with any service that is out there we all have our bad days, so if you're ever in the area and you would like to try some Chinese takeout give it a try and see if you like it. Thank you so much for listening. read more

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh! The meat is DISGUSTING. I asked for no sugar in my order which is what they told me on the phone when I called to ask what kind of "meat" was in the Moo Shu Chicken. It was rubbery, translucentish white, and tasted like nothing. I told the person on the phone it was HORRIBLE and he told me it was because I had asked for no sugar. I told him the sauce wasn't terrible but the MEAT WAS GROSS. The beef in the Szechuan Beef dish was like a gooey rubber. I had asked for medium spicy but there was NO SPICE at all. The food was really disgusting which is sad, because they used to be kind of okay and they are nearby. Now I get to be hungry, waste a bunch of inedible something, and lose yet another fair to crappy restaurant choice. GROSSSSSSSSSSSSS. read more

Our New Years Eve tradition is to order Chinese for dinner. We decided to switch up our normal spot and we chose China King Kitchen. We were very disappointed. The food was dry and bland-no flavor at all. No sweet and sour sauce with the crab rangoons. We were very disappointed and threw most of the food away. We will not be back. read more

The wait is incredible. They do say 45-75 minutes, my wait was 90 minutes. For Chinese food....seriously? Off hours order too. Terribly inept phone service, driver extremely rude. The food....not so much. Dumplings standard, the General Tso's chicken is the worst I have ever eaten and the Crab Rangoon is flimsy and underweight. Not a good experience at all. read more

This place Was the best. I think they changed owners. The last couple times we have ordered the food has been meh, we also always ask for extra extra spicy mustard and they bring us Zilch. So annoying!! I think they can't afford it. Though We will try them again for sure. we're losing faith fast. May Have to try somewhere else soon. Just give us the mustard yo. read more

The establishment was very clean and the staff polite. The food came quickly after ordering the Shrimp with Broccoli, General Tso's Chicken and Crab Ragoon. There was nothing wrong with the food but I wouldn't call it fantastic either. The only seasoning seemed to be what we added ourselves. Nothing bad but nothing special. Would try another place in the area before going back here. read more

I hate to give a 2 star review- so let me state right up front that this place isn't awful. The person who took my order was polite and helpful. The food was ready quickly and was piping hot. Although I didn't eat in the restaurant, it did seem bright, clean and quiet. That being said, I don't think I've ever had Chinese food that is so bland! I ordered three dishes: General Tso Chicken combo w/Pork Fried Rice, Pan Fried Wonton w/ Garlic Sauce, and Beef Chow Fun. They have an option for all white-meat chicken, so that is how I ordered the General Tso's. Now, I like a little heat when I order General Tso and I like the chicken to be crispy. What I received was the exact opposite- the chicken was limp and tasteless. Maybe ordering all-white meat chicken was the mistake, but I kind of doubt it. The Pork Fried Rice was also really bland and boring. In fact, the combo platter was so bland I actually just lost interest and didn't want any more of it after the first few bites. I tried the Beef Chow Fun next. That was also incredibly bland. It tasted like I was eating plain rice noodles without any sauce or seasoning. The beef was unexceptional. I only had a small portion before I pushed that aside, as well. Finally I tried the Pan Fried Wontons w/Garlic Sauce. These were the best of the lot but, unfortunately, that's not saying much. Garlic Sauce is supposed to have heat (there was even a red pepper in the menu next to this item to warn us that it is spicy) but these too were quite bland. There was lots of sauce covering the wontons, so it wasn't for the lack of sauce. It was just that the sauce was bland and unexciting. I suppose if you have an intestinal issue which is aggravated by strong or spicy foods then this might be a good place. But if you're looking for Chinese food that has some actual taste, I would go elsewhere. read more

They have delicious food but they deliver pretty slow. I have waited an hour before just to get food from them. Maybe because they are more popular than the other place. I don't know. But if you want really great food and want to pick it up instead, this is the place to go! The people are very friendly that work here too! read more

Excellent moo goo gai pan - not your typical take out chinese (I have been them all) Best in the capital district. Food is fresh and not too salty - the moo goo has big fresh mushrooms and snow peas - again, no MSG. Weekly stop....... read more

This place is not the best or great or maybe even good but what it is...its decent comfort food. The staff is friendly. the delivery is quick. the food is okay. typical greasy/fattening Chinese food that is catered to fast food population. ***PLEASE note i was a regular here until I moved to another state so if you want a quick comfort fix this would be the way to go. read more

Slightly above average Chinese food. delivery is fast service is good the restaurant is clean. Have not had a bad experience thus far.

I used to really like this food and thought they were the best. The last several times we ordered the food was horrible. Obviously they are using old oil as the rice tastes nasty as do the egg rolls. The broccoli was not well cooked and the complimentary fortune cookies you always get with anyone else are missing. I love the delivery man and always thought him nice. Now we don't order Chinese food at all. read more

My favorite chinese food place. Their Chicken/Pork/Shrimp with garlic sauce is amazing. I come here very often and the food is awesome. Superior to other chinese food places in the area, and they're super friendly :) read more

The best seasame chicken i have ever had! The staff is always so nice and love getting my food in less than 15mins!

This is the best chinese delivery that I have had in the area. Order is always accurate and food is better than any other local delivery place. read more

Great food! My husband ordered General Tso's chicken with lo mein and white rice, and I ordered vegetable fried rice (since I usually am not a huge Chinese food fan). Oh my God was it good! Even though my rice is a simple dish, I was still very impressed with the flavors. The rice was perfectly cooked, not too dry or wet and full of vegetables, and my husband's meal was, I quote "too good for words." I tried the lo mein and it was perfect. The staff was super friendly, and the food was ready within 15 minutes. I ordered online though so I'm not sure what the experience would've been like on the phone. This is definitely going to be one of our new favorite restaurants. read more

The absolute worst General Tso's chicken I have encountered, It had a soft exterior with the mouthfeel of a marshmallow. The sesame noodles were bland and tasteless. They are just going through the motions here. There are so many other Chinese takeout options nearby--do yourself a gigantic favor and avoid this place. read more

we used to order here all the time, tonight, dinner took 2 hours, yes 2 hours and it wasn't even warm. Time to look for a new place.

Hen Bu Hao!!! Really bad. I've ordered from this place before and it was alright but the last order there was nothing good about it. Tasteless. Yuk!! read more
