    Pan fried veggies
    Trina W.

    I've been coming here for years and the service is excellent. The dining room is cozy and decorated with fun art . The food is great. Lots of veggie options available. Consistently fresh and delicious. It's no wonder this is a neighborhood favorite.

    General chicken and Mongolian beef combination plates with pork fried rice, chicken chow mein, and egg rolls

    The perfect neighborhood Chinese spot? China King has that cozy, neighborhood-restaurant feel. Big enough that you're not elbow-to-elbow with other tables, but still small enough to feel personal. It almost gives off a vibe like you're eating at someone's house. The crowd was pretty minimal the Monday evening I went, just a few other dine-in tables and some folks picking up their orders to go. The staff was super friendly in a way that added to that "homey" feeling. Service was quick and well-paced; appetizers, soup, and mains all came out in a smooth flow. They didn't hover, but they were easy to flag down if we needed anything. We started with crab rangoons, which were crispy and tasty. For soup, we tried both the egg flower and hot and sour, both exactly what you would expect. For our mains, we ordered the dinner combo plates with Mongolian beef and General chicken. Each came with an egg roll, chicken chow mein, and pork fried rice. Everything hit the spot, but the Mongolian beef was definitely the standout. Super flavorful and perfectly cooked. The only thing that didn't completely hit was the fried rice which was fine, just not quite as flavorful as it could've been. Price-wise, this might just be some of the most affordable Chinese food in town right now, which makes it an even easier "yes" for a return visit. The only real downside for me is that it's pretty far into Spanish Springs, so it's not the most convenient spot unless you live in the area. Final thoughts: I'd happily come back for a casual dinner with friends or family, especially if I'm in the area. Great prices, friendly service, and solid food!

    Tasty. Clean. Friendly. Fast. These are all words I'd use to describe our recent lunch at China King. Located in the shopping center at the corner of Vista and Wingfield Hills Rd, their lunch menu is impressive. With 39 items to choose from, each meal comes with either hot & sour or egg drop soup, an egg roll, and fried rice. We ordered the Mongolian beef and General's chicken. We arrived at 11:30 and business was already brisk. They had several take-out orders, and tables were filling up quickly. The hot & sour soup arrived first, steaming hot and perfectly spicy--it was delicious. As soon as we finished, our main courses arrived. The General's chicken was crispy beneath its sweet and spicy sauce, and the pork fried rice was flavorful with pieces of char siu. The egg roll was basic but perfectly crispy. The Mongolian beef was tender, and the sauce was incredibly flavorful. We will be back soon, we have 37 more entree's to try!

    Pork fried rice

    My daughter and I have been craving their pork fried rice and appetizers from here. I placed an order for a family meal for pick up when I got off of work last week. I had to have their Chinese food! They were busy and just jamming orders out! By the time I drove here from work my order was ready for pick up! Appetizers: tempura shrimp, egg rolls and baby back ribs. War wonton soup and two entrées: green pea chicken and a general's chicken with a side of pork fried rice. Great portions and value for your buck! Restaurant is always busy, but they always manage to care for everyone all at once. Tip: If you live in the Wingfield area or close enough they will deliver to you for a few extra dollars. If you live close by check them out! They've never forgot to pack sauces or utinsels. I highly recommend If you want hot Chinese food delivered quickly.

The wife got the Chin Chin Chicken and I got the Mongolian Beef lunch specials which came with egg rolls and rice. The flavor pallet is rich and complex. Lots of smoke.

    This was the second time I tried this restaurant since moving here from the Bay Area. Which of…read morecourse automatically makes me a Chinese food snob! It's been about 4 years since the last time, I tried the food here and since I was hosting about 10 people at my home, I wanted to serve something simple and cost effective. My goto for this is Chinese food. I ordered chicken chow mein and stir fried mixed vegetables. It came in two trays and enough from probably closer to 15 people. So portions were good but the total bill was between $120-$130 about what I've come to expect here in Reno. Let's just say, I've traveled to several countries in Asia and lived most of my life in Northern CA eating quite a bit of Chinese food. This doesn't make my an expert but it would be fair to say, I am quite familiar with what is considered mainstream traditional Chinese cooking. But let's get to the food, with the caveat that I realize that everyone's preferences can vary widely when it comes to food. So my opinion is based on what one would find in Hong Kong and San Francisco. The chicken chow mein had all the correct ingredients, long noodles that were slightly thicker than say spaghetti, had the correct amount of softness without being mushy. Chicken was presented in slices and appeared to be white meat, there was some white onions thrown in there for some texture and flavor. Normally when I order chow mein, it isn't served with a brown "gravy". Not that this dish was swimming in it, but think of spaghetti with tomato sauce. Replace the red with medium dark brown and you get the picture. Now my guests who are Reno locals, thought it was great and flavorful. I would agree with the flavor part but it was much too saucy for my tastes. Would I try Chin Chin again for noodles? I'm not sure but the owner did state, they can make dishes any way I like, so perhaps I'll order off menu next time. The stir fried mixed vegetables is where I was most disappointed. Let's start with the ingredients. All were sliced in 2-3 inch pieces, which included button mushrooms, zuchinni, bamboo shoots, brocolli, carrots, and onions. This dish could have passed for a savory vegetable stew. There was a lot of gravy, so much so, that it colored all the vegetables brown, except for the carrots. The sauce had a slight "twang" to it, almost vinegar or worchester-like. Not my thing, I could not taste the individual flavors of the vegetables because of how heavy the sauce was. The brocolli was over cooked where the flowerette parts were pale. I prefer my vegetables to be just cooked, almost snappy. I would not order this dish again. No comments on the restaurant itself as both times I tried it, was for take out. So bottomline, would I try Chin Chin again? Yes but I will be very specific on how I would like my order prepared. Maybe for their lunch special.

    I've been to SK at least 6 times since moving to Sparks. It was one of the first asian restaurants…read moreI tried. Traditional Vietnamese or Chinese cuisine IMO, is difficult to find here compared to the Bay Area. But that's not the fault of Reno, it's just the number of asian restaurants are so much fewer here and all the produce is literally imported. My goto when checking out a chinese restaurant is their chow fun noodles. Why? The noodles are perishable and if frozen the texture becomes a bit mushy, not firm. Was the noodle fresh, yes but with the cavet that it was probably imported day or two earlier. There are no local noodle makers in Reno. The dish was prepared in traditionally with a slight twist. Garlic, lots of minced garlic. Not complaining, as this is unusual for chow fun noodles to get amost a fourth of a garlic bulb worth. I ordered the mixed protein version with chicken, pork, and beef. There was a slight sweetness to the dish, which I am atributing it to sugar. Which again is unusual but a welcome addition like the garlic. My last visit was when some relatives visted from the Bay Area and we had lunch. I didn't want to take a chance on the food that they may not be used to, so we choose SK Noodle. Eveyone had their vietnamese Pho and grilled dishes and so far SK did dissapoint any of the Northern CA food snobs! I will be back.
