First off, there is no way this place is related to the real King Egg Roll. Absolutely no way. The food is not King Egg Roll. So, now that we know that, here is the review. Egg rolls: odd tasting and not consistent in filling or flavor. Sweet and sour sauce: actually closer to sweet and sour water. So watery and bland. Pot Stickers: I suspect mass produced and frozen. No flavor. Steam table food: typical cheapy Chinese. Lots of veggies, little meat and bland, watery sauce. The service here is absolutely terrible. They have a very poor concept of how the place works. The food is cooked and ready to serve from the steam tray. You should point, have your food put into a container, pay and go. These folks ask for help, look confused, get someone else to show them how to pack food into a container and then they give you a number, not your food, and then you wait in line to pay. Once you get to the front of the line to pay, they search for your food and pack it up into a bag. Honestly, for food ready to go, it took 17 minutes to point and then pay before I was ready to leave. Perhaps they need training or something, but express in the name is just a differentiator of the King Egg Roll real name and not a reflection of speed of service, This is just another cheap Chinese fast food place that is not fast and hardly Chinese. King Egg Roll's real name will be tarnished by these fake places unless you are a local in the know. Now I really gotta go get me some real King Egg Roll and I won't be back here. read more

Who pays $1 for an eggroll??? The place didn't have much to display and nothing seemed great. Craving for charsiu bao, they only had the steamed ones. Bought big bread 大包 and regretted it because it wasn't that big considering I paid $2.50........this king eggroll and the Calaveras location need to follow berryessa's. The berryessa location has tons of food displayed. Oh yeah and the young workers look like they have no idea what to do mostly speaking in vietnamese. You're better off at the original. Not the cleanest, but better food. read more

The food here is bad. It's better at the berryessa location. The food looks good but the taste quality and food temp feels like it was left over yesterday night. Even the fried chicken doesnt taste crispy or fried... it taste like regular chicken. I wouldn't recommend coming here. Try other king eggroll locations like the one by berryessa flea market. read more

I stopped here the other day to pick up a quick dinner on my way home. I was impressed by how clean the location was, modern technology for the registers, & fast, friendly service. I got two combo meals and of course a few egg-rolls. Food was good but not anything special, portions were plentiful. I would eat here again if I was in the area and in the mood for some fast and easy Chinese food. read more

King Eggroll Express - Very generous portions - Fast Food Near Me - San Jose, California

If you don't live in North San jose and dont' like their eggrolls then you need to move. We all know they got some super un-detectable drug/crack in them rolls.. It's staple in the hood.. But why 4 stars you ask? Well this one isn't a 20 year, semi- unsecure looking dinky place like the OG on King... If you haven't stepped into this Kingroll Express you're missing out. NEW, updated and super nice staff... Can't leave target or go into roundtable without getting 1 or more eggrolls.. Wait who'm kidding you can't just eat one.. .Heck it's a crime they sell them in 1's should be 2 or more... I do like to mix it up with an eggroll and shrimp ball... not sure why either. Ok, I'm rambling on. Anyway great place, love it's local, parking can suck with the shared lot but they're open around 8am, do catering/big plates and always have fresh food on the steam tables ready to go... Lastly I'd add that even though the price of gas is down this isn't 1986 or 1995 so don't expect to get 2 eggrolls for $1, this ain't jack in the box and a shiny nice King Eggroll ain't cheap to open up... I don't mind paying the price for the experience.. Thats why i'm at 4 stars... read more

I just had the worst experience ever don't think I want to go back. Just cashier people don't have common sense and focus too much on protocol. Never gonna back to this place ever. again read more

Glad they finally open up. Place seemed decent enough for a fast Chinese food. I ordered their combo platter for 7.00 and side order of sesame ball & their famous egg roll. I love their sesame ball it's just the right size with a little bit of crunch to it. As for their egg roll can't go wrong if you ever had king egg roll the wrap has a bit of crunch to it and the filling was good also. I can't rate the combo platter cause i ordered it for my son. When I went in it was not busy at all the two ladies at the counter were very nice. Great service for a fast food with that in mind I will be back. I just hope they will be here for a while. Since this will be go to place. Keep in mind they also do party platters . Now I have another place to go for Chinese fast food & party platter. I don't have to go to the King egg roll on Lundy. Yep I am a fan read more

Went yesterday for my lunch since i was working in the area got the fried rice and orange chicken and one egg roll woke up with food poisoning idk if they didn't come the chicken all the way or something but you will be hearing from me soon this is not okay read more

I was excited when King Eggroll opened near me. I was disappointed though when the food displayed looked old, the only had 1 chicken teriyaki stick and was told that they wouldn't make more, even when there were hours left before closing time. I made my order to go and when ringing up I asked if all the sauces for the egg roll and dinner were in the bag. They replied that they were. When I arrived home with the meals, there was no sweet and sour for the egg rolls, soy sauce or any sauce for that matter. The food was a disappointment as well. The Chicken and Beef in the Broccoli beef were tough and the fried rice was burnt. I tossed half of the meal out. Really disappointed! I was looking forward to a decent Chinese food place close by... I am still on the hunt! Where are all the great Chinese food establishments gone??? read more

I ordered 15 shrimp balls when I got home it's only 10 I got. I came back and told them, they are asking for the receipt... They did not even give me a receipt. Just be careful it may happen to you what happened to me. Thanks. read more

I call my mom everyday...and everyday she tells me my dad goes to King Eggroll to get food. I always say, "He goes all the way over to Berryessa?!!" She kept trying to tell me one is closer to their house. Yea, riiiight. "Anak, it's right next to the Target!" Hm...it used to be a Chinese restaurant. "It's a King Eggroll now!" I ended up in San Jose to take care of family stuff and went to do a Target run...and was quickly waylaid by King Eggroll. It seemed on par price wise as the one on Berryessa. I find I like the fillings better here in the eggroll vs the other location. Seems like it's cooked better and things don't feel slightly underdone. Super stoked this is near my parents house. Now I don't have to go too far when I visit. read more

I came in at 12 PM and right away I could tell the food wasn't fresh. If you open at 10, why does the food look like it's been sitting here since the day before? Specifically the chow mein. Ordered three chicken eggrolls and got sweet-and-sour sauce on the side. The sweet-and-sour sauce is served in a little cups that they fill. I'm used to the packet sweet-and-sour, but since I seen three ladies, dipping their eggrolls inside the establishment I thought it must be fine. When I get home and ready to eat my eggrolls, I noticed something black swimming around in one of the sweet-and-sour sauce cups. I open it and find a very small hair. Maybe a pube or a nose hair.. I open a second one and there's a jelly like ring at the top of the cup as if it's been sitting out and wasn't refrigerated fast enough. (I'm only about a seven minute drive home) I open the third and last sweet-and-sour sauce. I open it and it could have possibly been fine, but I was so put off by the other two I couldn't even dare myself to use it. I will say the chicken eggrolls still taste good even without sauce. Perfectly crispy and seasoned and good portion with protein and veggie. read more

Love the dim sum here! Prob the best togo dim sum I have tried so far in this area. Only had them during lunch time and it tasted fresh and filling. I had the - 1 order of har gow - 1 order of siu Mai - 1 order of shrimp and chives dumpling - 1 piece of egg roll - 1 piece of shrimp ball I was able to finish everything and it was all delicious and so good! Def solved my dim sum craving. My favorite was the shrimp ball. Came around noon and there was a bit of a wait. You come up and a girl with a tablet greets you and take down the order. Then you go to the register and pay. Smooth and efficient service. Will be a frequent customer! read more

I know I've written this before, but I for sure mean it this time: this is my boyfriend's and my new go-to place for Chinese takeout. The prices are decent, and the layout of the restaurant makes ordering very simple. I love the chunks of orange in the orange chicken, and I love the flavors of the sauce they use. I love the look of the chow mein, and I love the consistency of their noodles, which are just a bit sticky. Best of all...THEY HAVE DIM SUM! Basic dumplings, yes, but dumplings at a fast food Chinese restaurant? That's something I've never heard of before now. Unfortunately they were out of the Xiao Mai tonight, so we substituted them for BBQ pork buns. The shrimp dumplings seemed like they may have been frozen previously, or at least that the shrimp inside had been frozen, then thawed and wrapped in a dumpling and cooked. Surprisingly, they weren't that bad. Probably wouldn't get them again, but it was a nice one-time experience. My boyfriend and I were able to share a quart of chow mein and a quart of orange chicken. There was only one piece of overcooked chicken that I tried, so overall, it's some of the best Chinese takeout I've ever had. Again, our new go-to Chinese takeout! We'll be back next time we're craving Chinese food. read more

Went in Friday night expecting to get 4 different combo meals TO GO, then they recommend that I try their family portion. Much better deal, and more food, I think! Great recommendation, thanks for that. For our order we got fried rice, chow mein, orange chicken, string bean chicken, and I added an extra order of sweet and sour pork. Also, had to try their shrimp balls, and those were very tasty. I knocked off 1 star because although the service and 95% of the food was great, I was really disappointed when I got home and opened the container of sweet and sour pork to see that it was just fried pork, and there was some sweet sour sauce on the side. In the store the sweet and sour pork looks amazing, nice and coated in sauce, with chunks of onion and pineapple. My order was dry and once you mixed it with the sauce provided it was sub par. So, bummed about that because that is one of my favorite dishes. Other than that mix up, I'll still come back because it's quick and yummy food, just next time I'll be more specific and point to the actual tray of food I would like! read more

Came here last Tuesday for lunch since I work nearby. When I walked in I was greeted by the girl working at the counter. I ordered a combo with Chow Mien and two sides. When I went to pay I was surprised that they took card. Big thumbs up for that. :) after I paid I took a seat at a table nearby the door. The food is pretty average. Not bad, but not great. The food could've been better. :/ Aside from that everything else was great. :D read more

See all

I am in love with their Mocha shake. The avocado shake is made with fresh sliced avocado. Service is friendly. I have gone in 15 minutes before closing, there were only 3 shrimp balls out. I asked for 10, I was bracing myself for a "no way". But they happily made a fresh batch and gave me all fresh ones (I thought they would give me the 3 that were out plus 7 fresh ones). They even made me a fresh quart of chicken fried rice at that time too. I only took off one star because the chow mein isn't that great sometimes. read more

Terrible experience. Tried to call to make a pick up order. Was placed on hold and forgotten about. Hung up tried to call back kept getting sent to voicemail. read more

I went in on a hot day, so I wouldn't have to cook. I got the small tray of chicken chow Mein : hot and fresh. A small tray of the salted spare ribs : no sauce, but high in flavor . My daughter had the veg chow Mein with thin noodles : she said she would get it again . Also egg rolls, steamed rice, and veggie egg rolls. The only item I won't order again are the potstickers , which were chewy n dry. Service was not bad, she tried hard and smiled a lot. We waited 15 minutes since 2 were tray size. Overall, I enjoyed my meal, and for potlucks, I would come here instead of Lundy to get a tray of food. I parked in front of the pizza place. It's painted green, but doesn't specify which store it belongs to. No AC, but the windows are tinted, so that helped a bit. read more

Bad customer service. Placed me on hold for 12 min then hangs up on me. I called back and they never apologized.

Eggrolls, Fish balls and chicken wings is all you need.

I typically order party trays of fried chicken from here. They are always on time, which is so much better than the previous place I would order party trays from. The staff is nice and friendly. read more

This so called king eggroll "express" there is nothing express about it their whole concept and set up is ridiculous first they take your order then give you a stupid receipt then when they call your number then your allowed to pay then once your done paying you have to wait for the cashier to pit your food in the box. Also after handling money she did not wash her hands before putting the food in the containers. I went up to the register to pay i was number 16 she said i cant pay yet because its not in order she need number 15 to pay first i sit back down and she calls number 15 and guess what theres no number 15!!!! So dumbly she calls 16 im never coming here again. They have it set up like a panda express but only get the order ready after u wait in line get your number called and pay then they will start to put your order together. read more

Everything is delicious to me, especially shrimp roll. If it runs out of on the display table, you can ask to make fresh for you. Also the coffee is good too. Never miss it with your meal when you visit there. read more

I ordered a party tray of chow mein for my school potluck. The owner was friendly and really nice! Great customer service! Would definitely come back for the next party! read more

Worst service ever. Saw the pretty girl take out my bagged egg rolls to switch to older ones. When I asked for fresher ones, the skinny girl with glasses refused, telling me they were equally fresh when I saw a man bring out new ones from the back 1 minute earlier. Reluctantly, she switched them, but as I turned my head to pay, I noticed she rebagged a couple of the old ones again, thinking I wouldn't see. How dare you try to force who-knows-how-old egg rolls on me? The lack of customer service and respect from these young girls was atrocious. read more

Best egg rolls ever, don't really care for the rest of there food tho. Would I go back yes only for egg rolls

Was super happy there's a king eggroll closer to me plus its next to target but whenul i decided to visit king eggroll today to order my usual fried xiu mai i was pretty disappointed. They skimp on the meat here and it was mostly wonton wrapper. Plus i could taste flour too. I guess ill only go to the one on berryess read more

a good place for lunch, the food is wonderful an the services is so nice. I have been in this place many time and the alway make me happy. Not only me, but also my friend also love this place alot. 'mmmmmm read more

Service extremely slow! Ordered dim sum which was already pre made and it took 20 minutes for them to pack it up. Total Not satisfied at all!!! read more

The people are nice, the restaurant is clean and up-to-date, but THE FOOD IS TERRIBLE. My husband and I ate here and everything tasted nasty. The chowmein and fried rice were super plain with some weird after taste. The meats were cold and flavorless. The dim sum was cold and squishy. I'm so bummed because I was so excited to try this place. I should have taken the hint that it was empty and that all the food looked old. I won't be eating here ever again. I'm a little worried we may get food poisoning. read more

THIS IS NOT KING EGGROLL!! This food was horrible and more expensive than the original king eggroll on king rd or lundy. The chow mein was not completely cooked, the egg rolls were greasy and the orange chicken was extremely chewy and overcooked. I stopped eating because I started feeling sick. Will never go to this place or the one on calaveras again. KING EGGROLL IS NOT KING EGGROLL EXPRESS! read more

I went to go get lunch here a few times since they opened and let me tell you the workers are so friendly and polite. The girl that took my order was really sweet and made me feel welcomed, on the other hand the other girl that was at the cashier was incredibly nice and was super friendly!! They're both so pretty too!!!They were both working each time I went. So hopefully when you go they are working! The food is great, I got the teriyaki chicken sticks and that was full or flavor. I also recommend the orange chicken and the pan fried dumplings. Definitely try their fried bananas, best I've tried. Will be definitely coming back because of those two workers and how good quality their food is!! read more

I was skeptical about this place, but decided to check it out. Glad I did too. No long lines, food is full, fresh off the stove, and clean. Will be coming here more often now than driving elsewhere. read more

Conveniently located next to Target. Finding parking can be a hassle at lunch time. I love their egg rolls and shrimp balls and that's all I recommend coming for. The rest of the food, I'v had better. read more

I use to go to the king egg roll on berryessa but decided to give this place a try. To my surprise the the combo meal did not come with a egg roll. The chow ein had been sitting for a while and didn't taste so great. King egg roll use to be a great place to go to but not anymore. I will say the cashiers were very friendly though. Which is why I gave it two stars read more

Was super excited when this place opened up, was excited I could pay with credit card. King egg roll on Lundy tastes so much better. It's just annoying they are a cash only business read more

These egg-rolls have been hand crafted by the food gods! i am always taking bite after bite until my stomach can't contain the food child I have created. I am kind of disappointed that this chain only takes cash. read more

This place is amazing! This used to be a Chinese dim sum/bakery place. Then it was an Indian/Chinese restaurant and now it's King Egg Roll Express. Too bad I never got to try it as an Indian/Chinese restaurant because I'm curious of the two cultures assimilating onto a plate. Oh well. I didn't know this King Egg Roll express was from THEE King Egg Roll. I simply thought it was a copy cat and someone copying the name but added express so that there wouldn't be any infringement but turns out, it is from the infamous King Egg Roll! Been wanting to come here since they opened but I finally made an effort today after seeing people's pics and seeing that they accept credit card and Apple Pay! What?? They take Apple Pay??? They really do. I feel like everything here was overpriced. Seems more expensive than the original locations but is its because this is an "express" place? The shrimp balls are $1.10 each and the egg rolls are $0.99 each. It's definitely not that place at the other locations. I got a kids meal but barely got any meat so I think I should have just ordered a combo because I would have gotten way more food for $2 more. The dim sums are expensive. 3-4 pieces in each set and it's $3.25 per set so after tax it's like $1 per piece lol. Dim sum is expensive everywhere in San Jose because there's not much competition so they can make it super expensive and people will still buy it. You can drive around town to get dim sum elsewhere but it's still going to be costly. The super was nice when we came here. The tables were clean. It wasn't crowded. It looks similar to the one on Lundy. I like on the receipt it has a breakdown of everything you ordered so you know you can see if you got ripped off because I feel like many Asian places do that and charge you for hella shit and you'll never know because there's no paper trail. They didn't have any BBQ pork spring rolls when I came in but she told me to wait 3 minutes. Nice!!! Fresh and made to order just for me! Did I already mention everything was pretty good? Overall I had a good first experience. Thanks to all the Yelpers who reviewed this place because it was their positive feedbacks and pictures that drew me here. I was like omg looks legit sounds goods I gotta come here asap. I don't really go to the one on Lundy because there's never parking. The one on Calaveras tastes no good. The one on Story never have parking either. This parking lot is huge so there's always parking for the most part and that is a plus. Some stuff kinda expensive but I'll definitely be back. When I don't feel like cooking I will come here. Also, I gotta try their drinks! read more

The service and the atmosphere is great and modern looking, but when it comes to the food I would think twice. The orange chicken and the sweet and sour chicken are utterly disgusting to say the least, it says chicken but it has the texture of cubed beef jerky and taste like pork. The aftertaste is very medicine like and unpleasant, the sauce is reduced so much that it becomes very concentrated and grainy. The fried rice is average but sort of dry but perhaps that was due to getting the top part of a fresh batch, who knows. So overall the place is great but if they perhaps cooked the chicken a little less and not to the point of complete dehydration it would be a better place. read more
