We ordered a large beef fried rice. Seriously, we found 5 small pieces of beef and all fried rice. It was all fried rice. When we complained, they said that they could not understand because of language difference. Their fried rice is nothing but fried rice and no substance. Just be careful They put more rice than substance. read more

This little restaurant has been in this strip mall for many years and it is basically a carry-out food restaurant. Over the years, I've bought various meals from here but my favorite item is the Won Ton Soup. I periodically stop here for the soup, it's especially tasty when I don't feel well. The service is fast and the food is usually piping hot, and a reminder this restaurant is closed on Wednesdays. read more

Got there house special fried rice... its so bland it was like having white rice.egg rolls were cold greasy and nasty.. wont be back there.

They had Amazing food and very nice workers but the bathroom was dirty. I do recommend especially since its cheap!

Great fast service I love their egg fu young and my husband likes the orange Chicken. I wouldn't go anywhere else

Disgusting. Kung Pao had ZERO flavor, pot stickers were unbelievably greasy and good grief crab Rangoon should never have white onions ESPECIALLY GIGANTIC CHUNKS. They were seriously 90% onion & maybe 2% crab. I threw everything away and I'm making a frozen pizza read more

I was starving (still am!!) and wanted some Chinese Food. Ordered the Rice with Beef Broccoli and Pot Stickers. The Pot Stickers smelled and tasted awful like they were fried in old oil and the Beef Broccoli had just a few extremely thin small cuts of Beef with No Flavor!! The Rice was also awful with n flavor at all and not fully cooked!! To the point that i couldn't eat the food and was still hungry and had to make myself an Egg Omelete for dinner!!! I will never order from here again!! So disappointed and frustrated!! read more

I ordered orange chicken with broccoli and what arrived was virtually an orange chicken soup with the worst cuts of meat I have ever come across. The chicken was mainly fat and very soggy since it was SWIMMING in the sauce. The broccoli was so drenched that you couldn't taste it yet it was still hard to chew. Overall such a huge disappointment. read more

China King Restaurant - Orange Chicken with Broccoli - Chinese Near Me - Harwood Heights, Illinois

The food arrived quickly and hot. That's where the good part ends. It arrived at my office with no fork. Thankfully, I had a few on hand. I've eaten a lot of fried rice in my life time, and this has to be the absolute worst. It's greasy and has no flavor. The potstickers were delicious, but this rice was atrocious. read more

China King Restaurant - Flavorless 35. Beef Fried Rice - Chinese Near Me - Harwood Heights, Illinois

Been coming here for about a year and it's always good food. The only downside is the prices are becoming very high

Our regular Chinese Restaurant was closed tonight so I was desperate for Chinese food. So I googled where is there an open one near me. China King on West Lawrence came up so I said I'm going to try it. It was a little bit of a wait, but when it arrived I was impressed right off by the containers. Not the usual large round container. The food looked amazing and after trying it my wife and I were very impressed with the flavors of our Beef with Broccoli and Chicken Chop Suey. Also ordered a small Pork Fried Rice and 2 egg rolls. Sooooo Delicious. If your in this area give it a try. Great Chinese Food read more

China King Restaurant - Our great dinner from China King. - Chinese Near Me - Harwood Heights, Illinois

We ordered from China King thru Grubhub when the food arrived, there were 2 packages at the door and I was able to catch the driver as he was in his car. told him he left the same exact 2 orders and he should return one. told me to call grubhub and they'd fix it. Called grubhub who saw what happened and said theres nothing to be done once its delivered. (I will keep their names out of this but it was a few "managers") Grubhub said I should have checked my order on line and also with my bank prior to delivery. Yeah everyone does this (sarcasim) Called the restaurant who told me to call grubhu, said I would drive the 2nd order back, and said they didn't understand me and hung up. Well 2 orders one was $50.51the exact same 2nd order was $48.02 read more

Annoyed i ordered food Christmas Day after waiting 45 minutes (which i wasn't annoyed about) they call to say it will be an additional 30 minutes. No thank you it's almost 10pm so then she says well you have to cancel it. It was virtually impossible to cancel even i looked at my grub hub it said "delivered" which was news to me as we were in bed. After disputing with grub hub for 20 minutes they finally refunded me. So frustrating. read more

Highly recommend!!! Delicious tasty food! Delicious Egg-Rolls! Excellent Customer Service! Nice people. Fast service. Reasonable prices. Welcoming ambiance. Love this restaurant!!! Will drive extra miles to pick up food here!! read more

Order correct and on time. Took two bites and then the third I saw these small brown casings that look like a bug. Really disgusted. Hope I am wrong. read more

They have good Good Chinese food. Friendly staff. Delivery is also quite fast and friendly.

Don't order from here if you want your food in a timely manner. We ended up canceling because they lied to Grub Hub about the time.

I used yelp reviewers to order delivery from this place--- and apparently, I didn't get what they were having. I chose by fellow yelper recommendations. This is what I got. Crab rangoon: Not golden, but paper bag brown. 90% empty. 8% wonton- super fried but super chewy?!?! I didn't know that could exist. Oh yeah. And a 2% smear that wanted to be the creamy filling. On the first one, i figured- oh hey. Maybe they ran out of the mixture. But then I opened a 2nd. 3rd. 4th. All near empty with a smear of cream cheese, some green herbs. Was there crab? I dont know. Egg roll: one end of my egg roll was black. Enough said. Shrimp fried rice. Good amount of shrimp in it. Except the shrimp was undercooked and tasted like paste or mush. uhh..... kinda inedible. I didn't think fried rice was hard to make.... *hint* judge a chinese food joint by their ability to make fried rice. Shrimp egg foo young. The one saving grace. Didn't taste great, but... it didn't taste bad either. Sauce? super brown, thick, coagulated... kinda fecal-looking.... The outside was charred black and crispy though. The inside? Similar.. I have no clue if the shrimp were cooked well either. But... at least I didn't have the mash potato texture from em. Oh. I guess if you wanted to count it, maybe the white rice was the star. But I'm filipino. So... white rice doesn't exactly impress me. Again I had it delivered. They said 40 minutes. They took an hour. After I attempted, I cooked up a TV dinner. These guys made TV dinners taste great. Never again. Never. Again. read more

Best Chinese by far I have yet found in the area. I had the Orange Chicken and I normally leave the airport/food court version but this was an order of magnitude better. Huge portion but the chicken wasn't the mostly breading deep fried type. Very light breading, if any, but incredibly tasty and the sauce more complex than typical. I had also ordered spare ribs but too full to eat, though they look great. Service is also very friendly, always a plus. read more

We've been going to this take out Chinese restaurant for quite a few years. Food is fresh, hot and tastes great. We love the egg rolls, Spring rolls, Orange Beef, Beef with Pea pods, to name a few. Hot and Sour soup is especially tasty. They have a good sized menu. Easy parking, fast service. Definitely work the trip. Give them a try, I don't think you'll be disappointed. read more

For us, a good Chinese place has to have awesome Crab Rangoon, Sesame chicken and chicken fried rice. These guys have all 3 and they are soooo good! read more

China king is highly recommended! This place continues being busy despite the pandemic. Why you ask? Professionalism and good food. On busy days you would think they will brush you off or treat you not accordingly. Wrong! They are so polite, helpful, and courteous. The food is always delicious and they follow safety guidelines when picking up. Definitely recommend this place! read more

I never heard of this restaurant or have personally been in it but I was craving Chinese and looked through Uber eats choices and I ordered delivery. Now, I usually try to shy away from new Chinese restaurants but I have to say I was impressed. The food was flavorful the rice wasn't dry or sticky the Kung Pao chicken I ordered was extra spicy and delicious as ordered! I will definitely order again from here Thank you read more

Food is ok but I continually have the same issue and would go elsewhere if it were an option in Smithville - No matter what is ordered it always "takes 20 minutes" but is never done that quick. Further, order has frequently been wrong. In the latest instance, after ordering black pepper chicken on the phone, it was read back to me as orange chicken. I corrected on the phone. When I got to the restaurant, I had it read back again and was still orange chicken. Please put a responsible adult on the phone and at your front desk. read more

I used to love this place. However over the years their food is getting worse and worse. Its not fresh at all. I think the cooks dont care about how the food turns out. If your in the area then go to china kitchen on cumberland. Its a lot more delicious and fresh. I hate to say it but im done with this place for good. read more

I had to update my review because the assistant manager Paul reached out to me after viewing my previous Yelp on my bad experience. Paul apologized for my bad experience and offered to refund my entire meal. This act alone made me come on and leave and update. Stand up establishment, and maybe I caught them on a bad night. Who knows but either way, customer service here should be the standard everywhere. read more

Good food! I love their Singapore noodle dish and we always order the crab wantons. I've seen people post really bad reviews for this place and I'm sure they have a reason but I haven't experienced anything bad. They need to update their storefront. Aside from that it's convenient and we enjoy the food. read more

Trying to find really good Chinese in our new neighborhood, and china kitchen is just not it. The food here is okay, but not great. We got the sesame chicken and beef chop suey, both were unimpressive and the beef was plain and under seasoned. The crab Rangoon was basically cream cheese in wonton, no other flavors were noticeable, especially not crab. The portions were big and the prices were reasonable, but the food just didn't wow. Nothing was bad, but nothing was memorable either. So I'm still looking for my new favorite Chinese spot. read more

We've lived in the are for 9 years and order exclusively from China King. They're the only Chinese restaurant in the area that doesn't use MSG, so right off the bat, that gets our vote! (Seriously, do a little research on MSG - that stuff is HORRIBLE!!!) We've never had a bad dish from here. Not once. The only complaint I've ever heard is from my fiance' who says that the spicy dishes aren't spicy enough. Then again, he can eat a habanero pepper without flinching so maybe he's just some freak of nature. For those complaining about soggy eggrolls/rangoon...... when you put a crispy hot item in a bag (ie for delivery) it will build up steam and turn ANY crispy food into mush. It's basic first grade science - hot food creates steam. Steam increases the humidity in an enclosed area (ie your bag or takeout container.) Humidity causes things to wilt. No matter WHERE you order from, if you have your food delivered and it's in an enclosed container, the steam will make it wilt. There are 2 options - either pick it up and eat it there, or ask them not to seal your bag.... in which case your egg roll will be crispy, but your food will be cold. Great food, amazing prices, overly-generous portions, awesome selection, and lightning quick delivery. Highly recommended! read more

Very good reasonably prices Chinese food. Had the Szechuan chicken, General Tso's, Chicken Lo-Mein, and Chicken Fried Rice. We got the small portions which weren't really all that small at all. The Chicken was flavorful and I was satisifed, the whole order was ~$20 which is a reasonable price. Very good takeout in the neighborhood, had much worst for a higher price. read more

Good food but is it worth the price? Six dollars for beef fried rice? It's the best place I know in the neighborhood. Preparation of food and delivery is fast and the delivery guys always pleasant. I say this because I know people who are very tight for tips. It's small and has a couple of chairs but it is by no means a restaurant to sit down and enjoy a good meal. When you're there, stop next-door and check out the Italian bakery/delicatessen. This place is what it is. It is worth a stop but certainly not a destination restaurant. read more

Horrible Service! We ordered take out at 5:20 PM. The food did not arrive until 7:40 PM! Called several times, they said every time "15 min" Yea right!!!! Will not buy from them again! read more

I am a fan of the takeout. Best deal around for less than seven bucks you can get orange chicken, chicken fried rice, an eggroll, and a can of pop. Delivered! And the portions are enough for two lunches! If your office goes in together, they throw in a crab rangoon for each order. As far as flavor goes, they rate high on a fast food scale. I can do China King about every other week. Give it a try! read more

The Chinese food is pretty typical American Chinese food. I've ordered delivery from here several times and my food has always been correct and delivered in a timely manner. But the SMOOTHIES holy goodness the SMOOTHIES! I get several every time and just stick them in the fridge they are so fresh and delightful. I especially love the Kiwi and the Watermelon. Yum! read more

Solid Chinese-American delivery. We've tried a few different things and it's all good. Not gourmet or fancy, just good standard fare.

I would not recommend this restaurant. My family was sick for three days after eating takeout from this restaurant. Not to mention - the cashier had an attitude. read more

fried rice was very bland. The chop suey was horrible ended up throwing it away. The egg rolls went in the garbage as well. Time to find a new place. Gave another shot and once again it was horrid. Through the egg rolls away. Had a coupon for rangoons and of course did NOT get them. Never again. read more

I have mixed reviews on this place. There sweet and sour chicken is good but there beef fried rice is not. The reason for the 2 star is the staffs manners. They are never friendly on the phone and always want to rush your order. I understand they are busy but at the very least be nice to the customer. They always push for you to pay cash. There is also one younger delivery guy who rings the door bell 3 to 5 times in 2 secs. What the hell. I heard the first ring. read more

If I could give China King negative stars it would be -5. They suck now. The previous owners were awesome, but the last 3 years under this new ownership their food has been inedible. Worst tasting egg rolls ever. The orange chicken is hard and unchewable. The shrimp fried rice was hard and oily. I gave them their final chance today and my wife and I are done with them! read more
