China King

SKIP THIS PLACE! THIS IS THE WORSE Chinese takeout I've ever had. I love Chinese. My husband doesn't like it as much so I don't get it very often. When I do order it I get a couple meals worth. I ordered 4 dinners, 2 egg rolls, and a crab Rangoon. They charged me $76.00. This was way more than what the menu said. Ok fine I thought that's kind of high but I'll just watch what I order next time and I'll go home and check prices and then call them. I called them and asked why I didn't get the egg rolls I was supposed to get with my meal. They say you don't get the egg rolls anymore. Ok? I let it go. I sat down to eat. It was horrible! The chicken was dry and hard. You couldn't chew it period. My husband got sweet and sour shrimp and it was the same. They gave us fried rice when we ordered steamed. The crab Rangoon was the biggest disappointment. It didn't taste anything like what you expect it to taste like and half of them were burned. Don't waste your money or time. Now my husband is out $76.00 and I have to still make dinner. I feel like I got robbed. By the way we got 2 pieces of broccoli with 4 dinners. That's all the veggies we got.

Been going here since they opened. Personally I am not a big fan of Chinese food, but my hubby loves the food here. I don't think he has had one bit of nasty in the several years he's been eating here.Portions are a good size and typical of other Chinese places I have been to.I am the food picker-upper and the owners have always been friendly and smiling. There is a language barrier that you have to get used to, but the owners and their kids do greet me and talk to me.

Gross!! Stay away from this place. Plastic silverware for dining in...seriously??? Hot tea is in a Styrofoam cup with a Lipton tea bag. I was scared to eat my food as you can see just hardly picked at it. Save your money and go down the street. Yuck!!!!!

I really, really wanted to like China King. Having a quick, cheap Chinese joint within walking distance of my house is a rare thing in Independence, so I was excited about trying out this local option. I went with the rather pedestrian option of sweet and sour pork and crab rangoon for my carryout order. While I generally think it's pretty hard to mess up fried food, my dinner was hard and tasteless. The sweet and sour pork lacked the usual components of carrots, pineapple, onions, etc and the crab rangoon had an odd taste about it. Sadly, I think I'm going to have bypass this local place for something a bit tastier.

I have been eating here since it opened and I have never gotten a bad meal, I Love Their Sesame Chicken & They serve a lot of food for the price!!

awful, Sesame Chicken was so over cooked it was more like chicken jerky if it even had chicken in it. The rice has no flavor, no onions, no eggs, no vegetables. Total waste of money.

So I didn't actually go in - my friend picked up food for us, but I was so pleased I decided to write a review! (Especially since all reviews are so old and negative)I got the vegetables and white rice. Seems simple but you can tell a lot about a restaurant by their veggies. They were obviously fresh, big portions, and idk what sauce they used in the veggies but it was GOOD! Decent portion of white rice as well. Will review again when I go back with my husband!

Good food and nice people, portions are big, really like this place. Would recommend to everyone!

I've tried this place about 3x in the last 9yrs I've lived here. Every time a huge disappointment & complete confusion as to how they are still open to the public?! Today's fluke : I was one bite away from putting a piece of sharp metal into my mouth. Also we paid $23!!!! For a lg chicken fried rice, S&s chicken, & rangoon- felt like about 7-9$ more than it should have been, before tasting. My husband can eat about anything if he's hungry enough & he took 3bites before giving up. Freeze dried peas & carrots in my rice, maybe the rice too? No egg. No flavor. Maybe it's premade? Idk but it was awful & a total waste of money & effort to going to get it.

READ UPDATE down below::This place is decent. The inside may seem a bit run down, but majority of local Chinese places are this way. The lady and man is always friendly, sometimes I can't understand her, but she is polite and is very patient. They overload our boxes every time. The young man who works sometimes is exceptional. We have been eating here for over a year and have no real big complaints. Once they forgot our sweet and sour sauce but let me come back and get it. Not sure why this place has such a low rating. UPDATE January 2019: I finally had my first bad experience. I get the take out home and I go to eat my general tso chicken, out of the box, with their plastic silverware. The first few bites were delicious and then I realize I am chewing on a piece of metal??!? I spit it out and I realize it was a piece of utensil used for cooking, like a stringy metal. (I don't have any hardware in my mouth and never had a cavity lol- per what the owner said to me). I call the owners up on the phone and told them about it. I wasn't looking for a refund or free anything. I just wanted to make sure they were AWARE and someone else like a CHILD go through this and happen to swallow a piece! Who knows if there were more pieces of metal...Well the owners gets rude with me and tell me "YOU IS A LIAR" "ITS YOU TEETH NOT MY FOOD" "YOU IS RUDE NEVA CALL AGAIN". Now I see why they had bad reviews.
