China King Restaurant

While I am a big fan of Mom and Pop places and even the hole the walls this place was astonishing in its level of mediocre service and food. We wouldn’t have even ended up here if our local favorite had been open.
Yet here we were walking up to the counter to be served by a kid in middle school at best, was even studying between customers at the register. Totally understand family business and all but the was a bit much.
Prices were pretty average and the hefty bag of food spoke to a good quantity for the price even for Chinese food.
The punch line though is that while plentiful it was not entirely satisfying. The rice is an odd yellow fried rice and all the dishes were pretty the same brown sauce with peppers or thickener added depending on your dish.
Passing marks for the General Tso and Chow Mein but the other dishes were definitely lacking namely the watery chicken and broccoli.
Doubt we will good back unless we are completely desperate for Chinese dishes and don’t want to hunt an alternative alternative.
