    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.

    I tried King Wok after hearing about how great it is from a friend. It's not close where I would order it to my house, but I certainly had time to go and try it out. It is located in a small shopping center on Northern Boulevard in Little neck, and it's kind of hard to spot right away. Unfortunately, the first thing I noticed upon entering was one of the plastic pictures of the food hanging by a nail or screw. While it was a turn off, I saw that the tables were clean, and the counter too. I ordered a Kung Pao Chicken combination with rice and egg roll. The folks there had newspapers which was a nice touch and not something you see very often in Chinese take-outs. There were a few tables so I sat down and waited. The food was ready very quickly. When I say the Kung Pao Chicken was great, I mean it. The rice IMO was just OK though, had it been equally as good I would have given 5 stars. Maybe it was an off night ... I will definitely be back and will update accordingly. Prices are average and the cashier/guy who took the order spoke English well. Give them a try if in the area. There is a parking lot on premises but it fills up quick. There is plenty of street parking, both on Northern and on the residential block adjacent to the place.

    Orange beef was Soggy and lacked the orange flavor

    Dumplings were pretty good. A bit disappointed in the General Tso chicken, however would give it another chance. Service was fast.

    Cute little HK-themed cafe in Little Neck. We ordered the pig knuckle over rice, tom yum seafood…read morewith rice noodles, and a cooked salmon salad. This was my second time here, and the food quality was lower than my first visit. The pig knuckle wasn't as soft or flavorful as I'd hoped. The salmon salad, which I loved on my first visit, felt a little dry this time around. The tom yum seafood with rice noodles was the star dish of the afternoon -- sweet, flavorful, and packed with a generous amount of seafood. Keep in mind this dish is only available on weekends. I'd come back a third time just for the tom yum soup. Service was good and the staff were attentive. Note: you order and pay at the register, and the waitress brings the food to your table.

    Lowered to 3 stars due to slow service. Came on Sunday lunch time and ordered for takeout. Was told…read moreit was a 15 minute wait but waited 35 minutes. Restaurant has a few cooling fans, but it was not enough to ventilate the place. Eggplant over rice - 4/5 - The portion was big, but the bigger pieces were undercooked in the inside. Slightly firm still though edible. The sauce was concentrated. A lot of sauce in one place of bland eggplant on the other. Overall, it was good, but just very imbalanced. Hk French toast - 5/5 - it was good. Has peanut butter in the inside. Put a little maple syrup at the top and spread it. A little maple syrup is enough. Despite bad experience, will call in for takeout ahead of time. Ordering and waiting was a terrible experienced in cramped and hot space.
