This place has been in Palm Springs for a long time. The food is pretty decent compared to other Chinese restaurants in the desert. Ambiance: There isn't much ambiance just a large room with ample seating. This might explain why most customers seem to opt for takeout. Service: Our waiter friendly but slow Menu: The menu offers an excellent selection of standard Chinese dishes. Quantity: Portions are generous, way more than our group of four could eat. We ended up taking home plenty of leftovers. Quality: The food was first rate and delicious. Overall: It's a family run spot with solid food, generous portions, and good value. If you're in the mood for Chinese food, it's definitely worth a stop! read more

The Mongolian beef was the best thing that we had the wonton soup and the egg drop soup was good too, however to beef, broccoli what's average the sesame chicken wasn't that good wasn't to my liking stance. The service was quick very nice and hospitable, but the food overall was just the average. The war wonton soup was delicious and egg drop with crispy wontons was good.. read more

Needed a change of pace, so decided on Chinese. This is a little non-descriptive restaurant on a corner of the street, but inside is warm and welcoming. The food came out quickly, and the portions were big! We ate our fill, and still had enough for another meal at home later in the week. Would highly recommend! read more

Classic Chinese American Cuisine. Shrimp with Snow Peas Chicken with Mushrooms LoMein with BBQ Pork Egg Rolls Hot, tasty, great portions. What more can you ask for! China King continues to be a classic stop for us. I'm SOOO thankful that they have re-opened their indoor dining space. Came here on a whim while dad was visiting from out of town and really enjoyed everything. The noodles were incredible and not over seasoned, very tasty and even better as leftovers the following day. Hidden MVP was the Shrimp with Snow Peas which were everything I would dream of in this dish! The SNOW PEAS must be in season because these were perfectly cooked but still crisp and sweet. If I had to ask for anything it would be maybe a little bit of ambience music? But the service was great and you can tell it was family-owned by the son getting us our drinks while the daughter sat doing her hw at the register. Will ALWAYS come here for more chinese whenever the mood strikes! read more

What a hidden gem!! You will walk by this restaurant off the beaten path of downtown Palm Springs and debate whether to go in or not. Don't debate, this is authentic old school Chinese food that is soo good!! You will be reassured by the traffic coming in to pick up takeout. Traditional Chinese zodiac placemats and fortune cookies just like you will remember from years ago when Chinese food was not Panda Express. The restaurant seems family owned and everything on the menu is amazing! This restaurant is 36 minutes away from me but I don't care, I am heading there again and again!!! The food will not disappoint!! The ambience is perfect for casual dining! read more

We hadn't eaten at China King for years but last night we had a great meal. The dishes were very tasty and generous. I took half of mine home and had it for lunch the next day. Order the chicken with broccoli but ask for it to be cooked in the brown garlic sauce. And the staff is friendly and the service is fast. Best Chinese restaurant in Palm Springs! read more

Great family owned restaurant and my fav is the shrimp with lobster sauce and the bbq fried rice. We need a good Chinese restaurant in Desert Hot Springs and I wish China King would branch out and open a China King Two in DHS! read more

I honestly don't get the negative reviews--my experience here was amazing from start to finish. As soon as we walked in, the staff was welcoming and made us feel comfortable right away. Everything ran smoothly, and we didn't have to wait long at all. The quality completely lived up to the hype. The food was fresh and not to say delicious. Highly recommend if you are in town or just passing by! read more

Overpriced & not good! Ordered the orange beef rice is extra and was then $23 . Was so drenched in sauce and so fried the meat turned to powder. Just threw it in the trash . Egg rolls were $10 and were raw in the middle they looked like they were from a frozen bag. This is not the spot . read more

While staying in downtown Palm Springs, we were craving traditional Chinese food. These little places are usually the best, if you're looking for authentic tastes. We were greeted by one of the waitresses and directed to our table. Once seated, the came to begin taking our order. They were very patient with us, while we browsed the menu. This appeared to be a family run business, which meant (even more) that this would probably be very authentic. The seating wasn't fancy but gave an ambiance of a 'mom & pop' location. After placing our orders, the food began to come out within 5-10 minutes beginning with the wonton soup. Although i'm not a soup person, this had an amazing flavor profile. The remaining dishes trickled out minutes after each other. Everything tasted fresh with a traditional, but unique taste for the restaurant. When eating at a restaurant, we look for the traditional flavor but understand that each place will have their own recipe - this is what makes each restaurant unique. This place was a great find, for us, and already dedicated ourselves to coming again when in Palm Springs. We highly recommend trying this restaurant. *Highlights* Friendly service A+ Clean restaurant Good variety of traditional Chinese food Great flavorChicken read more

Our go to for Chinese food as we live a few blocks away. Always clean, consistently gets A grades from Dept of Health, big portions but importantly competitively priced and it tastes great! Family works hard and customer oriented. Skip the chains as you know who they are. Support local mom and pop shops especially when they are very good. read more

The food is petty good the only complaint I have is they don't provide utensils I'm visiting from out of town staying at a hotel and this is the second time I ordered from here and they didn't provide me with utensils. read more

The ambiance is certainly not there, but the food is lights out dynamite! No nonsense decore, but who cares. Certainly could not be happier with the taste of my lunch.

Tried China King and it was the best Chinese in Palm Springs area! Portions are really large and fresh. I got the pan fried dumplings which were thin and tasty. Sometimes dumplings can have a really thick outside but these were thin and done right. For entries, Got the Mongolian beef medium spice. you can get it with mild, medium or hot, medium was perfectly spiced and was shocked at the portion size! Crispy shrimp was also flavorful, large portion and had at least 14 shrimp. Fried rice was fresh and complimented the entries. Looks to be family owned which is nice. There is on street parking, parking in a lot out behind or even on the side street. We will be back. I liked this place far more than the china 8 in cat city and emperor buffet. The food here was so much more flavorful and portions worth the money. read more

The best thing is family own and operate the business. Their children have to help to serve during their summer time. Small lobby but organized table arrangements. The food is so so. It is kind of salty but big portion for an Asian Restaurant in desert. My family enjoyed their Chinese Food read more

Every time I'm in Palm Springs I stopped by this restaurant to get the curry chicken because it's that good. I get the lunch portion which comes with a crab Rangoon, egg roll, and your choice of egg drop or hot and sour soup. I get the hot and sour soup because I like it the best. read more

Opened up my chicken and it stunk like dead fish called them and they said I'll bring it back and we're like 20 miles away. Terrible customer service. I would give him a zero if they had anything less than one star was so bad we had to throw it away. What a waste of money to smell made us sick. read more

Always excellent and a hidden gem. Highly recommended! Generous portions and fresh.

This used to be one of our favorite restaurants, but apparently they changed ownership. We ate there recently and we were both very disappointed. First off the bowl of soup was extremely small but I guess for $7 we should not have been surprised. The chicken wings were horrible, undercooked, the won tons were undercooked, the chow fun didn't taste good. The fish in black bean sauce was okay but it had more veggies than fish. Unfortunately we won't be returning. The service was okay, no ambiance . read more
