Fu King Chinese Restaurant

Fu King Good Chinese! We had fu king good moo goo gai pan and wonton soup. Definitely fu king worth the 10 minute drive off of i-​10!

I have been eating here for over 10 years, and after moving all around and eating at just about every Chinese food place in the North and Central Florida area I could get my hands on, this is by far my favorite. Their egg rolls and Crab Rangoon are super tasty. I also recommend the pot stickers (get extra chili sauce). Their General Tso’s is the best, hands down. No matter where I go, no one else gets it right. The sauce is rich, sticky and sweet and oh my god. Honestly, I can’t say enough good things.

I’m giving the sign 5 stars and the food 2 stars. If you’re in the mood for some Fu King Chinese and you’re in Fu King Lake City, Fl, at least take a picture of this place and then go get Mexican. Fu King A.

The portions were great and the flavors ok. I test an oriental restaurant by three things; egg roll, spring rolls and egg drop soup. The soup was ok but but the rolls were mushy and flavorless. My meal was hot on the bottom but ice cold on the top. This tells me the food was microwaved. Also I am suspicious of the food being store bought. I like my food authentic and fresh made. I won’t be going back.

I didn’t go here with high expectations and my experience did not disagree. The service was quite nice: very friendly and quick. The décor could best be described as «where old Formica goes to die» which I think is charming in a retro sort of way. Its like stepping back to 1968 without the inherent danger of time-​travel. The food arrived quickly… almost too quickly which usually means pre-​prepared food and Chef Mike working in the kitchen. My dining companion found a cold spot in the otherwise steaming plate of chicken & broccoli which increased our suspicions of microwaved food. The lunch portions were generous and the taste was OK but everything seemed a little store bought (veggies cut too evenly, spring rolls too uniform and interiors mushy).
So…I would go back again for the atmosphere and cheap eats but would leave my expectations of haute cuisine at home.

Always amazing. Don’t let the fact that it is a dingy hole in the wall place deter you. I drive from gainesville regularly for fu king.

I only gave it one star because I couldn’t give it zero. We ordered chicken and broccoli and a general tso’s chicken. Pretty simple orders and standard anywhere well we got the order home and opened them up… The tso’s was burnt smelling and the chicken with broccoli looked and smelled like they just boiled both together and tossed in the box no seasoning or sauce (very pale looking). So poor that I threw in the trash and went to YUMS near Publix and got the same order wow what a difference… Hey sometimes lessons cost you money!!!

This used to be a great Chinese restaurant. Over the past year or so, it has really gone down hill. It is very inconsistent as far as the food goes. Sometimes it is really good and sometimes, not very flavorful at all. I don’t know if they are cutting corners or have a new cook. I try it every now and then, just hoping it will be back to the old way, but am usually disappointed.

Loved the Fu King restaurant. Very cheap good Fu King Cantonese. Not a lot to choose from in the Fu King vicinity, so this Fu King Chinese restaurant is excellent. I should have gotten me a Fu King t-​shirt. Great name for a restaurant, that deserves an extra star, but basically Fu King good food and Fu King good prices.

While attending a retreat in Lake City this past weekend and weighing my options between one bad chain, another bad chain, McDonalds, IHOP, a lousy catered dinner and gnawing my own shoe, I came across the very positive review for Fu King. I heart Chinese food, and a silly name only earns you bonus points with me. Yahoo! reviews has a mediocre review and a fairly negative review. I read both, took them with a grain of salt, and went a-​roaming.
We arrived hungry and a bit worried. The place looks like a greasy spoon, and although the hostess and solitary server were very kind, it still took well over ten minutes to get anything other than drinks. The menu is about the same as any other Chinese restaurant, so we quickly decided on honey garlic chicken and West Lake Duck, which is greasy, heavily-​breaded pieces of overcooked meat placed atop a plate full of vegetables drowned with brown sauce. It was as unappetizing as it sounds. We did enjoy the chicken dish, which (surprise!) actually seemed to have both garlic and lemon zest in the sauce, a step up from the average takeout in Gainesville. Even so, I wouldn’t return. There’s no reason to waste time on stuff like this, even if it IS locally owned and operated. 1.75 stars.

We planned on leaving early that day, but it was already past noon when we finally left Jacksonville, Florida, enroute back to our home State of California.
Since we skipped morning breakfast, after driving along I-​10 barely 60 miles only, we were feeling so hungry already and promptly exited on Highway-​441 towards Lake City.
Being so famished, we weren’t exactly in a position to be picky, so just about a few miles down the road, we saw the sign for Fu King Chinese Restaurant, which somehow looked palatable enough for me and company.
Well, I’ve been to too many Chinese Restaurants before, yet truly I got to say with utmost confidence that they didn’t just served another Chinese food, but distinctively it was really Fu King good.
The alternative would have been driving another 100-​miles toward Tallahassee, however, truly there was absolutely no regrets for this unscheduled stop-​over in Lake City.
If ever you’ll be driving along I-​10 westward from Jacksonville and feeling hungry, then I highly recommend a stop-​over in Lake City for a meal-​break at Fu King Restaurant and get what you want.
