We have had take out from China King twice. It's now our favorite and closest oriental food restaurant. Everything we ordered was delicious, and hot even after the trip home, but they are only about 3 miles away. Very good food, highly recommend. We have had take out from China King twice.

I heard they are under new ownership so maybe we will try them again, but not impressed in the past.

This team does a great job for take-out. They have great parking with quick in and out. I have ordered 10x and never experienced an error, hotnsour a bit thick. Plates are fresh, hot and plentiful.... read more

Food is fresh, hot and very tasty. Service is good too. Obviously a family-run operation.

I ordered 2 combos, very generous portions, General Taos chicken extra Taos sauce, it was very good and shrimp with garlic sauce also good, will order again read more

I tried takeout at this Chinese restaurant on Monday evening after two other places were closed on Monday. Ordering was easy on the website, and the food was ready around the time they said it would be. Portions were on the smaller side, and the taste was average. I would use them if nothing else was open, but would probably try other places if they were open. read more

Ordered takeout; egg roll and Szechuan beef. Presentation of both looked great. Egg roll tasted as good as any egg roll . The vegetables in the Szechuan beef looked fine the beef looked washed out. Vegetables tasted okay. The beef tasted different from beef and was rubbery. Ended up eating the vegetables and throwing the beef out. Instead of going to bed after dinner, I ended up staying in the bathroom! read more

Would give 0 stars if I could absolutely horrible , beef with broccoli . Beef is slimy and mushy broccoli you can tell is old no sauce at all in the dish just mushy beef and old broccoli. read more

Good Chinese Food!! Definitely satisfyies my cravings. It's not (Chinese take out version of) the Ritz, but what do you expect? It's tasty, it's quality, it's fast and easy. What more do you want? read more

Ordered Dragon and Phoenix which was very good. Ready when I arrived. Excellent egg rolls too!

Best shrimp fried rice. very nice people!authentic Chinese food place! Come here if you want a nice meal!

Just tried this chinese restaurant and honestly it was delicious. I don't live near many good chinese restaurants but moving down to fl has changed that. They cook the food fresh and hot when serving. Even though the cashier is a kid he is very mature and works well in the service. I'll definitely will be coming back again! read more

China King - General Tso's Chicken and Plain Lo Mein - Chinese Near Me - Saint Augustine, Florida

Absolutely awful customer service! Food is subpar. They have a young kid working the front, who is extremely rude and disrespectful screaming at customers. My suggestion would be to go literally anywhere else!! read more

Ordered lunch special Bourbon chicken, the chicken what there was of it was tough! The rice was hard and not fresh. Not worth the money and I won't be back. Its a take out nothing special. read more

I usually like the food here but tonight was not good. The food was cold, dumplings were hard, the Mongolian beef had all onions and sauce and very little meat. So sad. read more

I didn't even want to write a review because the place is not good at all, but I had to say something in order to leave my "ONE STAR" rating for Yelp so here you go : I ordered the Bourbon Chicken Dinner, but came home with a meal that consisted of mainly Onions. It was like a treasure hunt to see what kind of Meat I was blessed with. Dug around and low & behold... PORK!! Not what I ordered. Happens quite often at this establishment. Was also pretty sad because I was shorted my Salad. So no, I do not suggest this Chinese Restaurant.. :( read more

China King - ALL Onions!! Where's the Meat?? - Chinese Near Me - Saint Augustine, Florida

I have to admit I have been here several times for takeout and the food was good but tonight was different. Tonight I ordered the chicken and broccoli and it was delightful! Chicken was cooked perfectly and broccoli had a little bit of a crunch but it was definitely not raw and not overcooked. I guess you could call it al dente. Hubby ordered his usual shrimp with vegetables, extra spicy, and he enjoyed his as well. I would recommend this restaurant! read more

Horrible! Stopped in a a whim, hubby was wanting some Chinese food. Wonton soup tasted as though the wontons were spoiled or old, egg roll was soggy. Husbands lo mein was also horrible, over cooked noodles and drenched in a bitter tasting sauce. Won't be back...keeping driving on by! read more

Decent, run of the mill chinese food. One thing that most places don't have that I really enjoyed was the street tofu. Grilled tofu on a stick with very good seasoning (maybe chinese 5 spice?). Otherwise, not much to say but it was fine. read more

This place is so ghetto. Walk in, you have a 2'x2' box to stand inside, poorly constructed out of plywood to place your order and pick up food. Why can't I just go up to the actual counter? Covid is over, stop the nonsense!! Oh and just got the food home, and there was no duck sauce or soy sauce, as the six year old child laborer that took my order and rang me up had assured me that there was... read more

I went vegetarian about 10 months ago - checked out their menu today again because I was in St Augustine and wanted to pick up some dinner. They have General Tso's Tofu! Ordered it and it was delicious! So great they have a wonderful selection of vegetarian dishes! read more

I love this china king restaurant. always friendly customer service and no long wait times. the food is great!! I love the bone-in barbecue ribs with house fried rice. I would recommend this restaurant if you want great Chinese food. also has a great ambiance! read more

The name of this place says it all. Great food at a reasonable price. Cannot go wrong with takeout from this place.

My request for no egg and no peppers werent followed. I got home with my nearly $16 order... Egg in the fried rice(I asked for white rice) and peppers in the vegetable dish. No mustard or sauce for egg roll, no fortune cookie, no napkin, no receipt in bag... They offered to replace if I drive back....right... Or replace same dish in future..of course I dont even have a receipt to show my order.... read more

This is my standard Friday night or Sunday afternoon place for good reason: they're a great family business with awesome service and food. The menu, like most takeout joints, is massive. They will make nearly anything you want any way you like. Extra spicy? Yep. Swap in lo mein? Sure. They always pay attention and get it right. What is also great is they offer online ordering through Beyond Menu. For me that means no wait and hot food! Finally, they know their regulars and always greet you warmly. It's always perfectly made just the way I like it and served with a neighborly smile. read more

Worst Chinese Food Ever!!!! Ordered a simple dish "Chicken Lo MeIn" and found the taste was overwhelmed by some kind of oil that they used. Could not eat it and had to throw it out. read more

Food was average at best. Ordered the spicy beef dish and there was nothing but veggies in it, maybe a table spoon of dried up slivers of what I think was beef, but not sure. Pass on by, not good at all. read more

Never again! I'm sticking to Panda Express please. Fried rice means rice fried in brown oil. Hardly any meat only veggies.. I would have ordered a vegetarian dish instead. Not worth $12.00 + taxes per person at all. I was trying hard to support local businesses but this one is seriously not good. read more

Good food and plentiful portions. Service is always prompt and friendly. I recommend for takeout.

So after reading a few reviews that mentioned owners had changed and that food was good, we decided to pick up some food on the way in to our place in Palencia. We were impressed with all the Covid precautions taken from ordering in store to getting the food handed to you through a plexiglass cube. The food was fresh and hot since we live so close. We ordered the house lo mein and kung pao chicken. The lo mein was okay very light on the meat but overall pretty good. The kung pao chicken should be renamed kung pao celery because there was barely any chicken in it. I tried to eat around the celery (and I like celery) but couldn't do it. It was the only thing you tasted. It was like a hundred stalks were used for this dish alone. I may try this place again but I definitely won't be "craving" any Chinese any time soon. read more

China King - Kung pao celery??? Where's the chicken?? - Chinese Near Me - Saint Augustine, Florida

Got the kung pao chicken and it was all celery. Some of the worst chinese I have ever had.

We LOVE China King!! We moved here from Charlotte and was told to try them out. Their food is delicious and their service is wonderful! Highly recommend! read more

I had the pineapple chicken dinner with a side egg roll. Very good. This is my favorite Chinese food in St. Augustine. You can order online and they'll tell you when it will be ready. It always is. I showed up early, and had my dog in the car, so I had to wait in the car. The owner's son brought my food out to me in the car! What a great family business. I'm always looking to support local mom and pop shops, and if you like Chinese, you'll want to try them! The price is reasonable, and you get a LOT of food. I'll be having Pineapple chicken for lunch today too. *leftovers* lol. I'm hoping they'll get delivery soon and add Amazon Alexa ordering as well. Thanks China King! read more

The Fried Rice was better than other usual place. The egg rolls were terrible.... just soaked in oil. The Beef with veggies was ok. My daughter enjoyed the Sweet and Sour chicken. Hunan Shrimp was ok, tasted like old cheap seafood. I was hopeful for a different Chinese take out place. read more

Best fast food Chinese place ever! Enough said! Everything was cooked perfect and the amount you get for the price is great!!!!!!! read more

First & last time! I won't waste my money on this place again. Just giving my honest opinion!

Great food, friendly service, family owned and operated. You can order online using an app called Beyond Menu. Our food is always piping hot and fresh. They will make your food as spicy as you like. My husband and I come here often and love the convenience to Palencia. This place is one of the main reasons we just can't move away. Well, this and Starbucks. read more

First and last trip to this establishment. Bland greasy food. Fried wontons that were t fried but rather steamed and 1/2 burned 1/2 raw dough. The 'hot' general tzos chicken had no flavor and had no 'heat' to it at all. Basically terrible on all fronts. read more

NEW OWNERS. Ordered a sweet and sour lunch and it was fantastic. Fried rice so much better. Cant wait to try my other favorites and update soon. Old food was no good so I stopped going. Very happy to hear the news and good food. read more
