King's Wok Chinese Food

One of my favorite food trucks on campus. Can be large crowds but otherwise food comes out fast and portions are always more than enough for lunch or dinner. Open pretty late and it's very convenient to stop by before going to some of the math and engineering buildings.Definitely try their niu nan tang mian or niu nan fan, both written on the Chinese menu but if you try to pronounce it the owner can usually understand. Huge chunks of beef and noodles or rice for only $5!

If you crave some American Chinese fried chicken, just visit King's Wok. I tried their grandfather chicken and general tao (it should be tso lol).The only thing I don't like about this place is their price: it used to be 4.5-ish but now they charge you 6 dollars for almost every single item.

This place is a gem and all the Chinese people know of its existence on the Penn/Drexel campus. For $3-$5 you can get a carton full of somewhat authentic (depending on the dish you order) Chinese food including a soft drink. It's really busy weekdays during lunchtime when floods of international students and/or asian health science professionals hoard this truck, so if you order then expect a 15 minute wait. They now take phone orders so you can avoid this dilemma. During non rush hour your food is ready within 2-3 minutes.A middle aged couple runs this truck, and they don't normally greet you with bright smiles and extraordinary etiquette; but you're an idiot if you expect great customer service from a food truck. You're paying them $3-5 for quick delicious food.. they don't owe you any extra smiles, and they can afford losing your business if you can't tolerate not being treated like a princess. In all honesty, they're just very neutral but that's understandable considering the level of stress. tldr; cut these people some slack and just order your food and leave.I'm surprised no one has contributed actual food photos of this place, so I guess I'll be the first.

It's one of my favorite food trucks on the Penn campus. There's usually a long line, but it's worth waiting. I usually get the soup (either lo mein noodle or hong feng noodle) with pork ribs. Mapo Tofu is great. I also like potatoes with pork. Singapore noodle is good too, but it's greasy. I am going to try new dishes every day. The price is super duper reasonable, and the best thing is that you can get the authentic taste with 4 or 5 dollars.

Quick, delicious, cheap. Everything less than $5, cooked in less than 5 minutes by a authentic Chinese man that is no business and rocks the shorts in that super hot food truck. Go for a quick fix of Chinese food. He's also one of the last trucks around during the evening hours.Enjoy!

When I go to a food truck, food - not service - is what really matters. But last time I checked, I never ordered a fly. I really hope that I can update my review rating because I know that Mr. King didn't mean to let a fly and a plastic shard into my eggplant and beef. From the lines that form, it doesn't seem like that many people get bugs in their dishes - or maybe they just don't mind little critters in super cheap food.

They serve me cold beef rice! I threw it right after. Totally cold! I swear I won't buy anything from this food truck any more!

The Good: King's Wok serves up incredibly greasy, salty, Chinese food which stacks up well against Yue Kee and Le Ahn. Sizable portions - not bad at all if you're starving for a quick bite between classes. They have great variety, so I'll be back to try their other dishes. And it's still the cheapest grub around.The Bad: Stiff competition from Kim's, whose food I still prefer.I think King's Wok should open up shop on campus late Friday and Saturday nights, because this is way better drunk food than Allegro's!

This is the closest food truck to school, where I can get a mapo tofu for 3.50$ and my favorite dish (eggplant and beef) for 4$. I tend to avoid lunch times because I find waiting awkward and boring, but any time between 1.30-4pm you get your food very fast. Just don't expect a culinary epiphany.The food is a little greasy and typically comes with much more meat than vegetables, but more often than not, that is exactly what I am craving for - cheap, well-made but not overly healthy Chinese food. I also agree with the other commenters that the Chinese menu typically has better dishes, and the Chinese people coming here mostly seem to order from that menu.

Quality authentic Chinese food. Fresh, simple and dirt cheap. I eat here almost every workday for lunch. The sizable platters range from $3.75 to $5.50. One of the best lunch trucks in University City. Every meal is cooked fresh, there on the spot, and in minutes flat (I still can't believe how fast they are). I must add that this cart caters to the taste buds of its Chinese customers (who seem to form the majority), so keep an open mind if your dish is slightly different that what you expected. This is the real deal, and for the price, it cannot be beat.Things I recommend as near-daily patron: Spicy Eggpant & Beancurd, Spicy Pork & Eggplant, Beef Chow Fun
