I ordered food to be delivered today, Sunday-May 17, 2026 at 11:00am. I ordered: Pansit Canton (noodles), 2 orders of Lumpia Shanghai. My entire ordered was delivered at 11:47 but the whole order is wrong and not the food that I order. The food CHOW KING sent to me: 2 fried eggs, fried beef & rice (see pic). I don't eat eggs because I am allergic to it. Called Chow King tell them I got the wrong order and Chow King admitted that the wrong order was sent to me but Chow King refused to send me the correct order because they said-they have no driver though on their website indicated that they have a delivery service. And Chow King refused to give me a refund because Chow King indicated that Uber Eats is the one that needs give me a refund& not them. Took pics of the wrong order and offered to send it back to Chow King but they said no need because they KNOW that its the Wrong Order, but they will NOT give me a refund & NOT send me the correct order. This is consumer fraud- for me to be charge for the food that I never receive. Poor customer satisfaction when CHOW KING Refused to refund my money or send me the correct order and stated that it is UBER EAT that made a mistake. I told them that they have a delivery service so why not just send me my correct order that I already paid. Chow King REFUSED to send me my correct order that I already paid and REFUSED to give my refund. SHAME on you Chow King for POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE. Very bad customer service& Consumer Fraud for charging me & taking my money & send me wrong food. Poor Customer Service and Consumer Fraud- which Chow King refused to send me correct food that I paid for and refused to give me refund. What kind of business that made a mistake and not correct the mistake they made by sending customer a wrong order & refusing to give refund for the food they sent that I did NOT order! I will NEVER give my business to CHOW KING Mira Mesa and Uber Eats & will NEVER recommend Chow King to al my family friends & everyone I know in SD & beyond! Pls attached of 2 wrong orders Chow King sent to me: 2 fried eggs, small cutup beef tosino & rice- I did NOT order this. Correct your mistake Chow King- send me the correct food I paid for! read more

Stopped by Chowking the other morning and ordered their Bangusilog and it really hit the spot. The bangus was crispy and flavorful, and the garlic fried rice was just the right amount, not too much, but enough to go with everything. The egg was cooked over-medium just the way I like it. What really brought it together though was dipping the bangus in the spiced vinegar. It adds that extra savory kick that makes every bite better. Simple breakfast, but super satisfying. Definitely something I'd order again when I'm craving a good Filipino breakfast. Staff was friendly and had no issue with waiting (then again there were not many customers inside). read more

Chowking - Bangusilog - Chinese Near Me - San Diego, California

Located just outside of seafood city Filipino market in mira mesa. I was hungry and was hoping to have lunch after 3pm here on a Saturday. They have things like sio bao, wonton noodle soup with beef, beef and broccoli bowl. The menu is small, but why 2 stars? We ordered a wonton noodle soup and 1 balo balo. It came out approximately 18-20 minutes and I was passed up by 3 order numbers with number larger than mine. The staff did give us an extra balo balo due to the long wait. Balo balo sio pao - 10/10 tastes amazing Wonton noodle soup - 8/10 not authentic southern Chinese, it's thin egg noodle, soup base not authentic but still delicious and addictive, you receive 4 wontons Verdict: delicious, service was not good, come back when you have time to wait and wait and wait read more

I went to chowking this morning and I saw this crew in the front working alone. His name is Reggienald i like how he handled all the customers even though it's busy. he is very nice to everybody and always smiling. Also the store is clean and their foods are very good, will be back soon. read more

We brought my Son and his friends to Seaworld and as always they still want to stay longer together afterwards, so after Seaworld I treated them more to Starbucks. And I know they would want more after Starbucks, and I always know they will be going to ask me to treat them to Raising Canes after, but we are always in Raising canes 'coz these Teens loves Raising Canes, so for a change of ambiance I searched up in Yelp for FRIED CHICKEN places that were near where we were at, but I remembered that Jollibee and CHOWKING also have good Fried Chicken. I chose to bring them to CHOWKING this time since their fried chicken was good and bigger there. When we came there's good enough seating inside. I ordered the special they have which is the: *2 of BUNDLE FEAST - CHICKEN and PANCIT That's a Total of 20 FRIED CHICKENS and 2 orders of PANCIT. The young lady on the front said it would be a 20 Minutes wait, and I said that's alright. Then after I ordered I heard her say to the next customer that it would be a 40 minutes wait. So after 20 mins passed, our Fried Chicken was not served yet. It was served after 1 hour and 20 minutes, I don't know what happened and why it took that long, or maybe they just have so many orders for the day. So for the FOOD, the PANCIT is just alright, but their FRIED CHICKEN was DELICIOUS! CRISPY on the outside and juicy inside, it was cooked nicely as always. The PLACE is also Clean. And there's Plenty of Parking too. For Customer service they have friendly staff here. read more

This location has the worst customer service. Filipino workers here are rude and disrespectful. Came in today to get the 2 entree breakfast. on the board it states 2 entree add $1.50 bangus. It was not very clear to me how it works so I asked. They were 2 people upfront. I believe the one short lady was the manager who made me wait 10 minutes without saying anything before taking my order and then the other one went to the other cashier and asked what i wanted. So I asked what does it mean add $1.50 for bangus? and none of them can answer the question. I simply wanted to know what the sign on the board meant. How can a manager and a person that works there doesn't know what you're selling and what your menu meant? It is standard to know and explain to the customer when they asked. They were so disrespectful when they speak to me and gave me all the side eyes they can. You both work in customer service at least be nice if you both actually didn't know what you're selling and what it meant or how to explain it to the customer. I am reporting this to their corporate. There is a big difference with not knowing and at least being nice of having a good customer service. Food are expensive and very small portions. This location has to close because they are hiring the wrong Filipinos. Filipinos are know for being nice and hospitable. But I guess these ones that works here have that crab mentality being here in the US. I am just saying it is free to be humble. read more

Chowking - The name of the cashier is written very disrespectful - Chinese Near Me - San Diego, California

Food: Tocino should be served in tinier pieces since they do not have plastic knives to cut the meats that are TOO big to fit into one's mouth and too tough to bite with one's teeth. Service: Denise is very professional, polite and attentive. She gave the proper greeting, "Hello mam, for here or to go?" Arlyn, the older lady on the other hand, looks like she hates her job. After not acknowledging my presence and making me wait a few minutes, she turns to her busy subordinates and tells them "tell Denise there's a customer", referring to me as persona non grata. Eventually, she says "never mind I'll do it" to which she turns to me and sternly said "YES?!" This lady could learn more from the younger workers. Obviously this supervisor type does NOT lead by example. Ambiance. Supervisor's negative attitude kills the ambiance. She should stay at the back and keep her bad attitude in place away from paying customers like me. read more

Just to be cleat the food is great but the service is bad! We understand there are delays at least say something! The crazy part is we got bypassed already by several customers that came after us. When it was our turn after a long delay they gave the wrong order while we are out the door. So it tells you that our order may have been switch. And we have to wait again obviously they have to prepare it still!! If you want good service fast food no not this branch!!! read more

As a Filipino-American who's been to several Filipino food spots, I'd categorize this as niche-Filipino-fast-food. I personally would only go here for the lumpia, siopao, Taho, halo-halo, and palabok - in fact, those would probably be the only things I'd recommend here, in spite of the other over-priced items on the menu. Tip: If you get catering from here (like the egg rolls/lumpia we ordered for my son's birthday), triple check that they got the order and are working on it ahead of time. We ordered ahead of time, and was told they didn't have an order when we went to pick it up - frustrating to say the least. Fortunately, they said they'd work on it, and my brother-in-law was going to pick up while we setup our party. When my bro went to pickup, they threw the tray of egg rolls on the counter with attitude...as if we were the ones who made the mistake. As I write this, I remember how pissed off I was at how the situation turned out. Therefore, I'd recommend going elsewhere for Filipino food....unless you're willing to risk getting rude service and are craving for any of the things I'd recommend getting here. read more

Fantastic food! Tastes absolutely amazing! Only thing is that it takes a while to get your order, so be prepared to wait. But the food is 1000% worth to wait for. Also, the prices great! If you're ever in the area, it's for sure worth to stop by! read more

Worse customer service I'm not buying for $1 worth buying $47 worth I ask them if they put in a tray to be presentable for my party the old lady said she got yelled by the owner for doing it give a tray I even told them I'll pay but the old lady no wow what a service read more

Miko was very helpful. He kept a friendly attitude while multitasking behind the counter. His customer service was consistent and attentiveness really made eating onsite enjoyable. He smiled the whole time and was polite. Wish it were like that everyday with the other workers, particularly the lady that seemed cold and nonchalant. That 5 stars goes to Miko and the male cook/prepper in the kitchen. read more

A Filipino fast food chain with both Filipino and Chinese-based menu options. Since it's fast food, don't come here expecting a high quality meal, but you're paying more for the convenience. Located right next to Seafood City so it's easy to stop by here for a quick meal after grocery shopping. I got one of their combo meals to go. I think I still prefer the Chinese fast food at Panda Express, and while I wasn't wowed, I don't think the food was necessarily bad either. Seems like most of the negative reviews are regarding the service. I didn't have any issues personally, although I also came during an off hour where they weren't busy at all. Overall, mediocre food but not bad for the price and convenience. I would probably only stop by again if I was already doing some shopping next door and just wanted to grab something quick to eat. read more

My wife and I ordered taho and buchi and both were served hot and fresh. The gentleman at the counter (Roel) was pleasant, cheerful, and provided outstanding customer service.

This virtue is rare to see in any fast food establishments. read more

The price of the siopao has gone up since the last time I've been here. 6pieces is $19.99 But, it's the only place we get it when visiting San Diego to take back home. They also have frozen bags, if you want to make it for a later time. I like getting the Asado (meat) and they have the bola-bola (chicken). I don't recommend the Taho, it was watered down. It wasn't busy at all when we came during the weekend around 1pm. There was one person in front of me but still got my order in less than 5 mins. And, if you do the survey on the receipt there while you wait for your order you can claim it right away (it was a free siopao). read more

Bathroom was excellent. Chicken was very crunchy. Halo Halo was a 10/10 :) we enjoyed our experience very much!

Very Disappointed! Placed an order for a large tray of Lumpia and large Pancit Canton for pickup today at 2:30. Show up and somehow "another customer must have took your order." How does that even happen? More like "we forgot to make it" ... No waiting for them to remake my order ... read more

Based on service only. When stationed here along time ago I went to a bunch of Chowkings. It's just the non burger fast food fix I got every now and then. But this trip I didn't order food. I was getting the frozen mini asado siopao. These are a dozen frozen pork buns in a bag that you can put in your carryon that you bring home so people will stop complaining. Overall four stars because the service was good. Now excuse me, I figure out how to put this things in my carry on. :/ M read more

It would have been zero star but I gave 1 star for rewarding attempt to rectify situation. When we ordered we were told the siomai would take a few minutes so we waited at our table. We ordered beef noodles, chicken mami, siomai, and siopao. We noticed 4 groups come in, order, and get their food ahead of us. So we decided to follow up and check. They somehow missed the ticket and the order. It was about a 30-40 minute at this point. They apologized and offered an extra siopao. That's the 1 star I gave. The food came and it was terrible. When you serve soup, you must do a stock, bone broth, so there's flavor. My beef soup was sad and tasteless. It tasted like water. There were 3 small chunks of beef, some cabbage, a lot of soup since my husband ordered a large and 1 clump of noodles. Because they were in a hurry, they just grabbed a ball of noodles from packaging and poured hot soup on it? Aren't you supposed to dunk it in water first to separate the noodles before adding soup? Honestly, how does this business stay open? Nothing tastes good and it's not cheap. The beef noodle was $17. I should have eaten at Pho Ban Mai in the same center. It's cheaper and delicious. I just wanted to try this restaurant because I have never eaten here before and I was shopping at seafood city. If you're the cook at chow king or even a server, go next door to pho ban mai and taste their soup. Please learn how a flavorful stock can change your soup dining experience. Your soup tasted so bland I could not eat it. I walked next door, picked up another meal and brought it to chow king to eat with my husband. I wanted to throw the chow king food but my husband did not want to waste it so he ate it. He just added chili oil to add taste. AWFUL! Service and food. read more

Better service. They are not organized. I've waited almost an hour for salt and pepper pork bowl.

Chowking is a Philippine-based franchise food chain, which was acquired by the Jollibee Foods Corporation (JFC) in 2011. The JFC now owns Chowking establishments prominently positioned in the U.S. As dubbed, the king of the chow is scattered all throughout the SoCal area. Chowking primarily sells noodle soups, dim sum and rice bowls with toppings. I have been at this particular location in Mira Mesa a few times from years ago and once again visited this past month after grocery shopping at their adjoined neighbor, Seafood City Supermarket. Chowking and among other food chains dispersed nearby are situated in the Mesa Shopping Center, at which it can be very difficult to find parking any time during the week and more so on the weekends. At the time of the visit, I ordered their 1-entrée Lauriat Rice Meal on the menu that came with a plate of fried rice, 2-pcs. of fried chicken (leg & small thigh) and pancit canton (egg noodles). The meal was decent, considering it was a quick stop and the food was ready in no time at all. The food, in general, was okay and the cashier could use a little smile; although it could be one of those long rough days. read more

Chowking - Chowking: 8955 Mira Mesa Blvd, San Diego, CA 92126, 20190130 - Chinese Near Me - San Diego, California

TLDR; Phillippine-based fast food chain, famous for their fried chicken. Unfortunately, I think their fried chicken is bland and the lumpia isn't really worth it. I've had this in the Philippines and I remember liking it more than Jolibee. So I guess I went in here with too high of an expectation. As a meal, it's pretty cheap...you can't argue with that. That's why I decided to pay a little more to get the extra side since I wasn't paying that much already. I'll give them this. Their fried chicken is crispy. And that's always a good thing for fried chicken. But I wish there was more flavor. I felt like it was a little too bland. The lumpia also wasn't that great. Definitely could've done without it. At least here in the States, I'll go somewhere else for fried chicken. read more

Customer service was so good i had to write a review. Cashier is so sweet, playful, and friendly. Food is a bit over priced. seems like the meat is a high cost and they are cutting back; rice bowl is 90% rice. The siopao are $3 a pop. good but not $3 good. The flavors are very good + the customer service makes this a 4 star. Would definitely come back occasionally. meal was $11.51 without a drink. read more
