China King

Above average for strip mall Chinese food!
I had Szechuan style pork. That and the hot and sour soup had a very mild spice to it — what I’d expect in Virginia… where the couple across from us could not finish theirs because it was «too spicy». Ah, Virginia.
The veggies were nice and crisp and the pork was plentiful and tasty.

Excellent food, prices and service. Everything on the menu is delicious and fresh. They even offer a special diet menu for those that are on sodium or other restrictive diets. It’s family friendly or perfect if you want a quick bite to eat. I’ve been coming here since it opened and have never been disappointed. The family that operates are very nice people! I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for delicious Chinese food. It’s the best Chinese restaurant for many miles around and the food is always fresh! Oh it’s always clean too which is something everyone enjoys.

China King is the only Chinese joint for many miles if you are in Mount Jackson/​Basye/​Bryce Mountain area. It’s in the same shopping center as the Food Lion.
It’s a very small place — with eight or so tables if you want to eat in.
I ordered Kung Pao chicken — extra spicy and an order of Egg rolls — to eat in.
While I was waiting — a lot of folks came in to pick up «to go» orders.
When my food was brought out, I was disappointed to see that it was the more «Americanized» version of Kung Pao chicken — lots and lots of celery, zucchini, and bell pepper — plus some chicken and peanuts. The style I was hoping for is mostly chicken — with peanuts, scallions, and red chilies.
The Kung Pao chicken was very average. And not very spicy — considering I ordered it extra spicy.
The egg rolls, however, were excellent! Crispy and hot, not greasy, and large with lots of tasty fillings! I added some of the pre-​packaged «Chinese» mustard (I asked if they had a «House» Chinese mustard — they did not).
The egg rolls are what dragged this up to a 3 star rating.
I’d probably come here again and try something other than the Kung Pao chicken.
