I'm embarrassed to admit that I've lived in San Carlos for over 20 years and just tried King Chuan last year. The food is excellent and is comfort food for me. It reminds me of dishes that I had growing up. I asked them if they could make something that wasn't on the menu and they did with no hesitation at all. I decided to try them for lunch because my typical downtown chicken salad elsewhere was getting a little pricey. For the same price as the chicken salad, King Chuan has lunch specials that come with entree, rice, soup and salad. It's my go to place for lunch now! Also I've noticed when the owner was there, she would stop and talk to every table. She knew many customers by name but just the fact that she made the effort to talk to her customers made me smile. It's important for me to mention this because there was a San Carlos restaurant that recently closed down but after eating there for the past 20 years the owner not once ever acknowledged us or smiled our way. (Also the owner of the other restaurant took my to go order over the phone once and when I asked if my sandwich could be cut in half, he said no--that it wouldn't fit in the to go box that way. Till this day I'm still confused about that.)Visit King Chuan! You won't be disappointed!

Seriously guys avoid this place, the food it's was meh. But the service don't get me started, very rude and to annoyed to being you anything you ask for. I asked for a bigger table politely because we had 5 people, they made a big ramble but eventually gave us a bigger table. Ovoid

*Parking: Located in downtown San Carlos, free street parking or there's a little lot nearby. *Experience: We came here on a Friday night and it was pretty busy. We were seated immediately by Susan, the owner. As we were dining, we noticed that Susan really makes her rounds to ensure that her customers are well taken care of. Service was super friendly and we were checked upon a couple times throughout our meal incase there's anything else we needed. The menu is quite extensive and is definitely on the pricey side for $20 per dish for standard Chinese food. I do appreciate the complimentary cold cucumbers and hot & sour soup as appetizers. *Food: We ordered the salt & pepper porkchop, king Chuan stirfry beef, and two bowls of white rice. I appreciate that the white rice is very fresh and fluffy. As for the main dishes, they were pretty standard. I was a bit disappointed in the salt & pepper porkchop because there flavor and spices were only on one part of the porkchop and not the rest. So some of the pieces were bland. As for the stirfry, this is something you can make at home for a fraction of the cost. Both dishes were pretty lackluster and did not embody the depth of the "wok".

Imagine this it's New Year's Day and all you want is to veg out with your significant other and have Chinese food in bed. I have walked by this place on plenty of occasions and each time my husband and I say we want to try it out on New Year's Day we didn't want a burrito. I wanted Chinese food because I took a nap and told him that I had this dream literally so we DoorDash Mongolian beef, vegetable, fried rice, and chicken chow fun I was expecting good because the place is always packed when we walk by but let me tell you when I say that everything was fresh Made to order. The rice was so good but my favorite was the chicken chow fun sorry I didn't take any pictures both times because yes, we ordered it again tonight. Super delicious although I've never been into the restaurant. I can say that it is always packed, but we definitely will be going soon.

Our go to take out! My family loves the pot sticks, egg roll, and their soups. Their won ton soup is a magic potion if you are ever feeling sick. I recovered very quickly from a bad illness by eating their soup for a week no joke lol! Very fast pick up service and the staff are very kind. Everything is organized, clean, and ready for pick up orders every time I come.

Everything was amazing and so fresh! I told them at the beginning that I have a gluten allergy and they were so accommodating, which is always such a relief as someone with an allergy. They went over the menu with me to explain what I can have. Many of their dishes are already labeled as gluten free, but they are able to make some others gluten free by using tamari/gf soy sauce, instead of regular soy sauce. I haven't been able to enjoy chinese food often since not a lot of restaurants accommodate a gluten allergy, but this place did everything they could to offer a ton of options.We got the sizzling rice soup, kung pao chicken, and beef chow fun. They made everything gluten free and it was so delicious! Will be back!

King Chuan Restaurant really hit the spot for us! Staff members and Aunt Susan were all very nice and Aunt Susan took the time to describe some of the dishes we had questions about and the staff were proactive in checking in to make sure our meal was going well. We also got bowls of hot and sour soup plus the marinated cucumbers on the house which was a very nice way to start out the meal. Our main dish was the steamed sole fish fillets with ginger and coriander and green onion and it was really really good! The flavors are very authentic and exactly what I remember and expected from eating during family meals and also Chinese restaurants. Paired with white rice, the flavored soy sauce with the garnishes is soooo delectable! We also got a dish of tofu and vegetables for the extra health points and I always appreciate there being many veggie dishes available at Chinese restaurants. I would highly recommend King Chuan if you are looking for very home style authentic Chinese food in the area! The restaurant itself is also cozy and reminiscent of the many Chinese restaurants I have gone to with family and friends.

I ordered food to go and they said there was a 20-25 minute wait. It ended up being 35 minutes. The food was just average. Nothing special. I won't be going back.
