China King

I didn’t know that bad Chinese food was even possible, but this place’s food was absolutely terrible. The chicken teriyaki sticks were super slimy and just had a very «off» texture. The boneless ribs were comprised primarily of blobules of fat, not meat. I literally threw my order in the garbage after about 10 bites. The egg roll was ok.

Yuck.
I will spare you the details about the strange chewy substance that i found in my Pot Stickers not to mention that the girl taking the order did not know that pot stickers were fried dumplings. I will also spare you the vivid description of how the Szechwan Chicken smelled like urine.
Perhaps this place has a gem on the menu that i just wasnt fortunate to order, but i really see no reason to ever return to this restaurant. I am shocked that people find this to be a good «go to» Chinese restaurant. Seriously? I can name 3 off the top of my head, within a fairly close radius to this one that make this food seem inedible.
The egg roll wasnt bad.

I’m a big fan of China King. It’s surprisingly difficult to find a good go-​to Chinese takeout I’ve discovered. My last few places of residence were really lacking, but China King is great. They are clean, fast, consistent, cheap, and their website is superb. $ 1.75 to order online and have it delivered?! Awesome. Of course you can’t go to a place like this and expect gourmet or super authentic cuisine, but I’ve never been disappointed with my food. I am a big fan of the seafood soup, and I was just recently pleased to try the spicy basil shrimp. You have to remember to pick up your own sauces and utensils when you get your food because they don’t put them in the bag for you. I don’t mind though bc then I don’t have to throw away packets that I didn’t want in the first place. I will say that the soy sauce they give in the packets is pretty flavorless.

This place could be greatly improved with a little effort. We recently moved into the area and although there were very mixed reviews we decided to check and see for ourselves. I got the Kung Pao Chicken. The chicken was good quality and although there was a lot of celery used as filled it still would have been acceptable except for one thing: no flavor. I asked for «extra spicy» when placing the order but it fell upon deaf ears. But basic Kung Pao sauce should be spicy and flavorful. This sauce was more like brown gravy. My wife ordered GarlicChicken. Same outcome. No flavor. Slightly garlic and sweet but zero intensity. The folks were nice, the food was quickly prepared and reasonably priced but with no flavor there is no reason to eat here. I cannot explain the positive reviews except maybe some folks don’t know what good Chinese food is supposed to taste like. A few spices would turn this place around, but I don’t see that happening as long as people eat what they are served. We will keep looking for a better place.

China King offers good food at pretty reasonable prices. Not terrific with the beverages, (cans) but carry out orders get a free two-​liter pop, and you can reserve a table and order online at their website, including ordering and paying for deliveries for a very reasonable surcharge. It’s regular, retail Chinese food for suburbanites. You will not be overwhelmed by awesomeness but we have never been disappointed with the quality of the food or the service.

We stayed at the Comfort Inn down the road and chose this place based on proximity. They were super helpful on the phone — even recommended a more economical way to order (suggested a diet plate, as they come with sauce on the side). They were accommodating, too — I needed just a dish with broccoli and baby corn, as the kiddos like that best. They knew how to get to our hotel, delivered right to the door of our room, and the food was hot. The egg rolls were just kind of «meh» but the garlic sauce was good, as was the Hunan shrimp.

Some coworkers asked if I wanted to go out for lunch today for a business meeting. I can never turn down a free meal. They love the China King. I thought it was good enough. It is what I would expect out of a small Chinese food place in Independence, OH. A lot of the normal offerings with some other cuisines thrown in the mix. I opted for the Spicy Basil Chicken and it was not too bad. I am back in the cubicle sipping on some water because I could feel my body going into salt shock a little bit. I need to balance that out. I loved the lady that worked here and she was a pleasure to deal with. The prices are fair and the portions large. I recommend driving the extra 3 minutes down the road from Rockside to try a small family owned business. Down with corporations! China King! And their website is surprisingly really nice!

Oh Lordy. I wanted to like China King. My hopes were for nothing more than mediocre Chinese take-​out that was close to my school so I could bring it back for a study session. Someone I used to call my friend recommended China King (hence the fact that they are no longer my friend).
Upon walking in I knew I was in trouble as the manager was (at the risk of being considered a racist) a white guy. I’m sorry but I don’t trust people of my skin complexion to make Chinese food. And it appears that my experience at China King was a confirmation of that belief.
I ordered the sweet and sour chicken and kindly asked the manager to pack me some chopsticks and a bowl that I could eat it in as I was going to be indulging at my school. Naturally those items were both left out, meaning that I would be destined to eat it with my fingers or toes.
When I got back to the school and opened my food (and discovered their failure to provide me with basic eating utensils), I found that my food pretty much appeared to be deep fried chicken balls similar to those you’d buy in bulk from Sam’s Club and a side of sweet and sour sauce. No veggies or pineapple, or anything else that would make it resemble an entrée. To top it off, the chicken balls were dripping with grease. In fact, they were so greasy that it looked like they were in an oil sauce. After taking 2 bites I knew I had made a mistake and tossed it all in the trash.
The only reason I felt it necessary to award China King a 2-​star rating was the fact that their prices were very low. The portion was huge for the cost — unfortunately it was almost inedible but at least it was cheap.

I love China King.
Very nice owners, they remember you.
The food tastes great with good variety.
Awesome online menu, order for dine-​in, delivery, & and sit down.
I do wish they had homemade spicy mustard and duck sauce on the table and not the little packets… but I love that stuff.
Overall great place, will be back

Great food and extremely easy. Their online ordering is simple and quick if you travel. You can customize your General Tso’s Chicken’s spiciness. I gave them 10 minutes from the time I placed the order and it was ready when I got there. They even take Amex cards!

rude, poor attutude! biycott this place! i wouldn’t pay for this crap!
