"This was the first time me and my husband have ever come here and I have to say OMG!! It was sooooooo freakin good!!! Everything was made fresh and nothing was soggy or uncooked. The fried chicken was hot and juicy and crispy. The egg rolls had that awesome crunch and you could tell they were just made. My husband got the pepper steak with was so tender and juicy and I got the king pow chicken (no peanuts) which was spicy and juicy as well. We both got crab ragoons which were crispy and golden and the house rice which wasnt too chewy it was just right. If I could give this place more then 5 stars I would. It ALL was amazing!!!!!! Thank you China King!! Were truck drivers so good food is hard to come by on the road but this place took the cake and sprinkles!! Lol"

"Wonderful place! Everything is clean, unusually for most Chinese restaurants. Staff is friendly, and quick. It took less than 5 minutes for my food to be ready. For almost 8$ I got huge bowl of delicious beef with onion, pepper and fried rice, fresh and not greasy egg roll,and small soft drink. Highly recommend this place for truckers. Its only 10 min walk from Pilot. Also, its is 4th July, and the restaurant is open, unlike many others in this town."

"We haven't had China King in a while but I have to say it was a pleasant surprise. The special fried rice was amazing and the crab Rangoon some of the best in a long time. I tried a pork egg roll and a shrimp egg roll and the shrimp egg roll was fantastic! The pork was good too but the shrimp was excellent. Would definitely recommend this place to everyone! We will be back!"

"The order came out quickly, and it tasted great. Everything was packed up well, and portion sizes were as you'd expect per the order. You'll get what you're paying for, and the people are very pleasant there. If you're wanting typical Americanized Chinese food, this will fit the bill nicely for you. I'll be coming back again whenever I get the need for Chinese."
