    King Wok is as traditional old school as they come. You won't see another generation of this style restaurant. Mostly takeout, they do old school style Chinese classics, but they are decent sized portions tasty, delicious ands affordable. Fast service!

    Ok this is about to be a bold statement but they have the best chicken broccoli i've ever had. I've had a lot btw. Their sauce is incredibly balance and more on the salty side rather than sweet which most places do. I kept going and couldn't stop - it was also super hot and i really appreciated that. The rest of the food was really great, i'll be back for more! Sunday to be specific haha.

    I came here and got a dinner combo of pork lo mein and pork fried rice. I enjoyed it, and it satisfied my craving for lo mein.

    Msg n the breading, heavy sauce made me really sick for two days

    Good local take out joint in the shopping plaza across the street from the Stop and Shop supermarket on Northern and Marathon Parkway. From the looks of it, the bulk of their business is take out and delivery. With only a few tables available to sit, most seem to just stop in and take it to go. I tasted the fried chicken and French fries (for my kid) and they were a tad oily but had a good flavor. It was definitely crisp. I also ordered the curry chicken, had a hint of heat from the red pepper flakes but not necessarily from the curry itself. Hubby tried the shrimp with lobster sauce but next time would've preferred white rice instead of the pork fried rice (the sauce would go better with the plain rice). All in all, decent prices and good food but could easily recommend other comparable take out places close by. This one was definitely old school in decor, signage, and menu. Note: cash only!! There are a few signs that echo this so don't bother with your credit card, they do not accept.

    The steamed dumpling was very doughy.

    I used to go to this place years back. I always thought the food was good, but I stopped going because they didn't accept credit cards, only cash. I decided to give it another try. The good news is that they accept credit cards now. The food this night was disappointing, however; not bad, but not what I remember as having been really good Chinese take-out. The steamed dumplings were doughy - never had ones like these. The boneless ribs were an odd cut, a bit tough, and had little of the fatty grease that makes boneless ribs so so good. The General Tzo's Chicken wasn't what I remembered either. The sauce was dark and not very spicy. Usually the sauce for this dish has a more orangey flavor. The chicken was thickly breaded and a bit tough, as well. Finally, they only included 2-3 small broccoli florets in this dish - I expected more. I think they must have changed recipes or changed the chef from years back (see photos of dishes ordered). So the food wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything to run and tell family and friends about - meh.

    Orange beef was Soggy and lacked the orange flavor

    While takeout "Chinese food" is never really mind blowing... this place fell even short of okay. Ordered the orange beef and fried cheese wontons in the restaurant to go. Waited about 15 mins for the food. The orange beef was roughly $13 and the wontons were $4.50 for 10pc. The orange beef lacked the orange flavor and it was just drenched in sauce making the beef soggy. The cheese wontons were fine.. but your really can't screw up wrapping cream cheese in wonton skin and deep frying it. All on all won't be back.. there are other Americanized Chinese food places that taste better and are cheaper!

    Good food . I looked through the pictures of food on yelp as opposed looking at the menu this…read moretime. I was reminded they give complementary ice cream and fruit at the end of the meal like most Chinese food sit in restaurants did if they didn't have dessert on the menu. We were stuffed from the delicious food we ate but looking forward to that slice of orange or taste of ice cream. We received 4 chocolate wontons and a 2009 dollar bill. I asked the waiter jokingly, " what happened? You don't like us? He said they don't give fruit anymore or ice cream since Covid. ( MEANWHILE) the table next to us and across from us got it. I'm going to take all the candies from the front when i leave next time!! Food is good all. Enjoy

    I eat at the Manhasset location occasionally-but parking there is terrible and that's what keeps me…read morefrom going there. On this particular occasion I decided to order via Uber Eats and was not happy with my order. It was cold by the time it got to me. Here's what I was told by the driver - the order had been mistakenly picked up by another driver and he had to wait. When I called the restaurant to try and get the truth the gentleman answered the phone was evasive on what happened and when I questioned him further he got defensive and said that he wasn't there when "it happened" I still don't know what happened - did the wrong driver take the food and it had to be remade by restaurant and wait for another driver. OR was the food returned by the first driver to the restaurant and the second driver took the bag and delivered it to me, in which case I had multiple hands on my bag. Just to be safe - never ordering from that restaurant again and never using Uber Eats again - both places are equally at fault here. Can't stand not being told the truth - that's underestimating me

    It's been opened for more than 3 years but it's my first time visiting. Plenty of street side…read moreresidential parking. It's a small store on a side street. It's easily missed if you don't pay attention. There wasn't much pedestrian traffic either. Business is mainly depends on spread of words from returning customers. Right opposite from the cafe is Jmart Chinese grocery store which is convenient. Cafe closes 6 pm daily. Self service. No tips needed. Service: wait staff was very friendly. Food time was quick. Owners stopped by the table and started conversation. It was karaoke time when we walked in. Food: - their milk tea was highly recommended to us. So four of us tried the hot and cold milk tea and hot milk tea / coffee combo. All of them were very rich in flavor and smooth, exactly what a milk tea should be. $4.75 for a 12 oz hot milk tea is reasonable. - French toast with peanut butter: Love the syrup that it came with. It has a distinct refreshing flavor with delighted sweetness. Definitely different from other syrup from other places which is just pure sweetness. Owner told us the syrup was imported from England. Highly recommended! - turnip, fish ball, rice roll: 3 in one bowl. Portion is enough to share - scallion chicken: It was recommended to me also. It was indeed very tender and flavorful. $24 for half a chicken with one quart of soup. Conclusion: will definitely return. Even just stopping by to pick up a flavorful milk tea which is cheaper than a sugary bubble tea.

    OK, I'm finally ready to give my review!…read more I moved to Little Neck earlier this year and have been coming to Marathon Cafe pretty often. I was ready to give it 5 stars after my first few visits, but I wanted to try as many dishes as possible before rushing a review. After several visits, I'd confidently give it 4.5 stars. Here's everything I've tried and what I'd recommend: Beef Macaroni with Egg: A million times YES!!! Believe the hype because it's every bit as good as everyone says! It's the ultimate comfort food. The cellentani pasta is an elite choice, cooked perfectly al dente and coated in a sweet, thick, tangy tomato sauce that's flavorful without being overly acidic. This is an absolute must order! Creamed Corn with Fried Fish: Don't knock it until you try it! The creamed corn is thick, smooth, and naturally sweet, while the fish is perfectly crispy without being overcooked. It sounds like an unusual combination, but somehow it works incredibly well together. Tom Yum Seafood Noodle Soup: The broth is tangy, slightly sweet, and very comforting. I personally would've liked it a bit spicier, but it was still delicious. It also comes with large shrimps and mussels. Rice Rolls with Fish Balls & Turnip: A Cantonese staple done right! The rice rolls are soft and bouncy, served with the perfect balance of peanut sauce and hoisin. The turnip is tender, and everything comes together really well. Bolo Yau (Pineapple Bun with Butter): The pineapple bun is warm, fluffy, and flaky. Honestly, it's delicious even on its own. The thick slab of butter melts quickly, which makes it a little too oily... Drinks: The iced Hong Kong milk tea and the red bean ice are classic Cantonese staples. You really can't come here without ordering one. What I wasn't crazy about: Lava French Toast: Too crunchy and slightly burnt. It tasted over caramelized, with just too much going on. Not for me! Thick Egg & Spam Sandwich: Nothing special. It was pretty bland, and honestly, it's something you could easily make at home. Not worth the $7. Scallion Chicken over Rice: I don't really understand the hype for this one... The poached chicken itself was a little bland and could've used a little more salt. The ginger scallion sauce usually makes this dish, but here it did the opposite. The scallions were chopped too thick instead of finely minced, so all I tasted was scallion, nothing else. :/ Fried Pork Chop & Cheese with Curry Sauce: It was just OK. I wasn't a fan of the curry sauce. What I would recommend instead is ordering the fried pork chop on the side with their pepper sauce. I paired them together myself, and it was much better! For now, I've tried everything that was on my list, but I'll definitely keep coming back for my favorites. One thing I really appreciate is how consistent they've been with every visit. The portions are generous for the price, and overall it's a place I'd highly recommend if you're looking for solid Hong Kong style comfort food.
