China King

China King has very good food. The egg rolls and crab rangoon are crispy and not greasy. The chicken with string beans and Hunan two ways (shrimp and chicken) are very good, and the oolong tea is just the right strength. The owner, Michael, is friendly, courteous, and appreciative of his customers. However, the female server does not greet customers, is unfriendly, responds rudely to customer requests (e.g., «No I won’t turn the TV down,» charges extra for change in vegetable item – even when restaurant is out of original item), does not bring serving plates — only the platters of food, does not check on customers to see if they are enjoying their meal, and overall does not show respect or appreciation for the customers. We would eat there much more often if Michael did all the serving. If not for the above noted server, the rating would be 4 or 5 stars.

Like the food, loathe the service. Phoned in a pick up, arrived 15 minutes later. Still waiting on my meal after being in the restaurant for another 15 minutes (so that’s 30 minutes between the time they took my order and sort of had my food ready), and they screwed up half of my order. I asked them to remedy this, which they did. I just do not feel that there is a reason for me to wait in restaurant for an additional 20 minutes, esp when a person orders after I did and receives their meal and is on their way while I’m still left waiting.
I won’t be coming back unless someone else offers to pick up the food.

My company occasionally treats their employees to the food here, but I manage to hold my ground and say no every time to not be a walking ball of hot grease half the day at work. I caved in. Just once. I ordered my favorite egg foo young with shrimp and hoped for the best. Wow, are their portions generous for their price. The fried egg roll that comes with a lunch special is divine, and the crab wontons are to die for. I will certainly be back many times with my Chinese-​American food lovin’ partner. Such a good find.

We discovered this restaurant a few years ago when they first opened up. We fell in love with their food and the couple who run it. They are very friendly and just a pleasure to interact with. The quality of their food has never dropped off and I wouldn’t go anywhere else for Chinese food if I’m in ann arbor.

I really hate to give unsavory reviews, but I was really underwhelmed with the quality of China King.
For a strip mall restaurant, it was clean inside and the staff was friendly. However, the food was atrocious. I ordered plain olé sesame chicken, and the sauce was like sweet & sour-​soy hybrid. It was not good. It was also orange. No sesame to be found, unfortunately.

Ordered take out from here the other night after having the weirdest craving for Chinese food, which I usually don’t even like. The restaurant looks clean and well kept, however there was no one dining in. I came in around 6:30 so I was a little skeptical the place would be good based on no diners. Maybe this is mainly a take-​out restaurant, who knows.
My sister has always said she enjoyed their food so I gave it a go. All three of us ordered entrees along with some eggs rolls and crab wontons (which I affectionately call crab cheese). The sister raved about the egg rolls, but I found them just OK. Crab wontons were surprisingly very good; fried correctly with a nice amount of crab/​cream cheese mixture. My beef egg foo young was alright, however I couldn’t really taste any beef but from my experience all egg foo young tastes the same.
What I really like about this place is how affordable it is. For a little over $ 30 bucks we got enough food to last practically 5 days. Three egg foo young patties? Daaannngggg.
For Americanized Chinese, this place isn’t half bad.

Love this place! Great tasting food at extremely reasonable prices. One of my top two favorite Chinese restaurants in Ann Arbor.

We were greeted by the owner who showed a charming sense of humor. The food was outstanding. Apparently this place is a favorite of the many nearby car dealers. My new go to place for Chinese in Ann Arbor.

Good solid Americanized Chinese food; the sort of stuff your parents or grandparents would consider exotic. Makes some reasonable salty, sweet comfort food.
Easy pickup if you’ve got a car; Jackson Road isn’t the best location for fetching takeout by bike, but it can be done. There were a reasonable number of people eating there, but the soda machine in the dining room feels like they took over a Taco Bell location and didn’t bother rearranging the appliances.
Veggie Moo Shu, Orange Chicken, and all the old stand-​bys are here; much more «the Chinese food of your childhood» than «the food your friend’s Chinese parents cook.» Still, on a cold night it’ll warm you up.

Fast and reasonable cost. Food is great. Great Hot and Sour soup. Eat in, take out, and delivery. I have enjoyed the Mongolian Beef, Orange Beef, General Tso Chicken, and Pepper Steak.

I came to China King based on others’ Unilocal review and I have to say I was disappointed.
China King does average-​quality takeout Chinese. If you are expecting more, you will be disappointed.
First, I’d have to strongly recommend against a dine-​in experience. The seating area is quite minimal and not particularly comfortable. While we were there the staff seemed overwhelmed and we barely received any attention. It took about 10 minutes for us to get water!
As to the food, it was OK, fairly bland. The Hot and Sour soup was neither particularly spicy nor sour. Many of the ingredients from the Happy Family and the Beef Ho Fun were clearly canned or otherwise processed. The string bean dish was well cooked with a nice toothy feel, but even this dish was underseasoned.
The rice was overcooked. This is a tell tale sign of a restaurant that is trying to pinch pennies rather than pay attention to important details.
If you are looking for standard takeout and live in the neighborhood, China King is fine. If you are looking for anything more, keep on looking.

Not a whole lot to say on this one. General Tso’s lunch special was perfectly good, side of fried rice was mostly just chicken bits and soy sauce-​doused rice, (no egg, vegetable,) but everything was tasty, hot, and service was prompt if not overly friendly. Decent Chinese takeaway, I would definitely eat there again, it was only 6.00 for a decent amount of food. (Chicken, rice, soup or egg roll.)
I’d recommend takeaway for this one, the dining area of the restaurant is really small and the ambiance is what you’d expect from strip mall Chinese fare.

TERRIBLE!!!
I live close to this establishment, and know of family who like it, so my son and I tried it.
Upon walking in, the place was dirty… not a customer in sight. Dirty dishes left on tables. Mop bucket in plain sight next to counter.
We waited about 20 minutes for our food (after being told it would be 10), then went home. I ordered sesame chicken and a spring roll, and my son ordered sweet and sour chicken. We were disappointed. The sesame chicken tasted funny and so did the broccoli in that meal. My son did not like his sweet and sour chicken. The spring roll was horrible.
We will not go back, or order from them again.

Picked up takeout from this place, was not disappointed! The veggies in my Hunan Chicken were obviously fresh, and the egg rolls were amazing. I’ll definitely be back. It didn’t look like much on first walking in, but the food is great. The gentleman working the floor was very polite, also. I’ll be back for seconds! Best Chinese food I’ve had since moving to A2!

I’ve eaten chinese food all over the place, and this is good, fast ‘american’ chinese fare with high quality ingredients. Good fresh vegetables, real quality chicken, good strong flavors. Chicken with garlic sauce is outstanding. Loved the egg roll and won ton soup too.

I have eaten Chinese food in Singapore, India, Manhattan, SanFran and New Jersey so I do come with a certain amount of experience with authentic, «homestyle» and your run of the mill take out stuff. While China King is no authentic dining gourmet experience, it is just simple, super-​delicious no-​frills Chinese food. That’s it. Don’t come here with stupid expectations of some off menu crazy homestyle hotpot or some obscure Chinese dish that’ll make it pass the authenticity test. ALl this place does is (and it does it real well) is provide quick, yummy, very tasty, freshly prepared Chinese food. If you go in here with that expectation, you will be very happy. I love their food and order take out quite often and give this a definite 5 stars.

Excellent Hunan chicken. It’s hard to find a place that does decent Hunan sauce; a lot of them are sweetish and I dislike that. China King does Hunan right! I like it hot and regular spicy was perfect. I’ll be back!

Excited about the restaurant since it had a four-​star review… until my partner and I returned home and had to rock-​paper-​scissor for the bathroom. Súper disappointing.

Was really looking forward to trying this place.
I didn’t want a lot of leftovers so I ended up just getting a couple of appetizers… The crab ragoon and the spicy sesame noodles…
Why is that every Chinese restaurant spicy seasame noodles tastes like spaghetti mixed with peanut butter with red pepper flakes sprinkled on top? This restaurant was no exception… I was so dissapointed…
The crab ragoon, on the other hand, was pretty good. There were 8 pieces filled with crab and cream cheese…
The staff were very nice. The restaurant offers plenty of seating and parking. Prices were very reasonable. I will be back!

Cute little place. Good wonton soup. Great lunch special pricing and fast service. I am looking forward to trying more items on the menu.
I order Hunan Shrimp lunch combo. HUGE beautiful shrimp in this dish. I was really surprised. Really great dish.
Easy location too. Can’t claim they are the best yet but it the wonton soup is any indications, I am on board so far.
