UPDATE: "Chef King" the Red Dragon. "Chef King" the red Dragon, continues to be our #1 go to for Chinese Takeout. Everyone that visits us LOVES LOVES LOVES "Chef King the Red Dragon." That's what we call it. Their food is leaps & bounds above everyone else's. We travel World wide & nothing compares to Chef King the Red Dragon. We love all the dishes but our most faves are the Shrimp & the House special Egg foo young & House special lo mein. The gravy for the egg foo young is very lemony. It's Superb. The best gravy of all the egg foo young I have ever had & the egg pancakes are thick & filled with shrimp, chikin, beef, pork, veggies ohhhhhhhh so delicious. Especially with their perfect white rice. :)... The lo mein is also EVERYONES fave! We like to serve it with an egg & chilies on top. We are fancy like that. They put tons of PROTEIN in theirs, with tiny carrots & very little cabbage. It's never wet, it's always filled with proteins & just the right amount of veggies. Superb. Another fave is the salt & pepper shrimp. It's a very light dish filled with shrimp, peppers & onions in a light savory sauce. Excellent. The General Tso's shrimp "spicy" is the BOMB! No one else makes it like they do. They make it with GIANT shrimp in a spicy/tangy sauce with broccoli. Superb. The sweet & sour pork is hubby's jam. He swears by her pink sauce, the "sweet & sour sauce." No one makes it like she does. Hers has tiny pineapple chunks in it. I'm not into the sweet & sour sauce like hubby is, but I do like the fried pork chunks. haha. I just eat those like doughnuts :)... We also LOVE her shrimp toast! My goodness hers need some kind of an award or something. The shrimp toast here are the largest I have ever had, rich, full of herbs & tons of flavor. Sublime. And the little crab rangoon are super delicious. We like to eat those for brekkie with coffee. Little cream cheese filled one bite doughnuts get in me belly little love bubbles. Yum Yum Yum :)... Everything here is scratch made & is so unique to "Chef King." "Chef King" Red Dragon, Reigns supreme. Best Chinese Takeout in Pirate'cola. Highest Recommendations. read more

Chef King - "House Special Lo Mein" (we add an egg & hot chilies to ours) Superb. Winners Circle :)... - Chinese Near Me - Pensacola, Florida

We ordered take out I ordered the chicken and broccoli. The food barely covered the bottom of the takeout container and it had 2 very small pieces of broccoli I the whole dish. My daughter ordered a chicken dish also and got 3 pieces of chicken! I'm wondering if they do this on a takeout order and give you the portion you should have if you dine in. Regardless the bill was 70.00 plus I gave a 10.00 tip. The price they charge doesn't match the portion size we were very disappointed and live close by and will not eat there again. read more

I'm officially giving up on Chinese food in Pensacola. I tried a place here a few years back and was thoroughly disgusted. Tonight, I I felt the feeling of disgust again. Maybe being from NY, close to NYC makes me a Chinese food snob but this was not what I'm use to. I ordered general tso chicken, an egg roll and fried wontons. The General tso chicken taste like it was literally made with dishwater, The egg roll was over cooked and tasted like old grease, and the fried dumplings were ok. Second to worst Chinese food I've ever had. I definitely would not recommend and would not try anything else from the menu. read more

Excellent authentic Chinese food. They will customize you order to your liking and even make dishes off the menu if you ask. This is a locally owned small business and the owners are really nice. They have the best homemade sweet and sour sauce in Pensacola. This my favorite place for Chinese. read more

The best hot and sour soup in Pensacola as far as I'm concerned. I had the Szechuan chicken and it was really good also. I stopped in for lunch and got it to go, the restaurant was clean, but dated. Everyone was friendly. read more

Average at best. Heavy salt and a common sauce flavor between four different types of food. They all tasted the same to me. Oh, and the lady at the counter was apparently having a bad day when I went. I do not recommend this place. read more

Chicken tastes old like it was made in the morning and sat under a lamp until it made it to my house late afternoon. Rice taste like a dirty kitchen. It's 7pm and I haven't eaten in 24 hours and I still threw it away. Worst Chinese food I've had in a while. I hate writing reviews but this one was well deserved. Disgusting and disappointed. Stay away. read more

Good food, conveniently located, service is good , nice place to eat at, price reasonable

I would say best Chinese in Pensacola. Store isn't best location but pickup and delivery is on point!

Even though there were only a few other reviews, this was the only Chinese restaurant in the area where there were no horrible reviews, so we decided to give it a shot. It was a good choice. We had the best Chinese food since coming to Pensacola. Having lived overseas, and in Hawaii, we are very picky about our Asian food. We did take out using their online menu, and it was very easy. Hubby ordered the spring rolls and Szechuan shrimp, and I ordered the hot & sour soup and Hunan shrimp. Everything was completely delicious. The sauces were flavorful, and had just the right amount of heat. The hot & sour soup was very tasty and contained authentic Asian ingredients. The restaurant itself isn't anything special: not a true dining ambience. There is room for improvement. But we will def be ordering from them again. read more

Horrible food and chicken fried rice was not chicken! Nasty don't waste your money!! Called and informed I was calling the health department to find out what kind of meat they are serving! read more

The quality of the food just is not up to par. Worst won ton soup ever. The dumplings were nearly slimy they had over cooked way too long.

My husband and I just ordered from this place and i was disappointed. The dumplings and the chicken teriyaki was ok. everything else was blah, even bland. ordered the shimp toast appetizer and didnt like at all, looked burnt to me. the wontons for my soup were stale and i orded pork fried rice with my meal and got chicken. kinda hard to mess up an online order when its written there right in front of them but they did! dont think we will be ordering from Chefking in the future. read more

Excellent food at fair prices. The customer service is good too. As a small business, my feelings are they do their very best.

Ordered the three family meal it was terrible. The rice was like glue the egg roll was over cooked the wan ton soup had no taste at all, The orange chicken some was cooked to long and some pieces were hard. They called me at 1:30 to see if I was coming when I told them when I ordered that I would be there at 2pm and had already given them my credit card number. The buffet in Pensacola is much better but this place is a hole in the wall. Stay away I wish I would have been with my first thought and went to Sonneys to get me some good food or the Taco stand down the street. By the way I am from Pensacola not Manton. read more

Ordered their Cream Cheese Wontons for my girlfriend and they gave us Crab Ragoons. She is allergic to crab. Nowhere on their menu does it say there is crab meat in the wantons. read more

Best in Escambia and Santa Rosa County. The portions are huge. Some of the best General Tso I've ever had. And I have ordered Chinese take out from coast to coast literally and these guys are the real deal read more

I don't think this is a four star Chinese restaurant, maybe three and a half. The egg drop soup wasn't bad, another three and a half star rating. The hot and sour soup wasn't good. It had zero flavor except the heat. I took two sips and threw it away. The egg roll had a good flavor, three stars except it had a few huge chunks of vegetables. The lo mein fates maybe four stars. My favorite thing was the cheese wontons. They had a wonderful flavor but were just a little skimpy on the amount of filling. I'd go back for those alone. read more

We ordered in the food here is pretty good. The only bad thing is whenever they tell you a pick up time it's always wrong and you always need to add about 10 more minutes that pick up time. So if they say 15 minutes then you need to do 25 minutes. I remember the food is great. The people that work there are kind of standoffish as well but they are not aggressive or mean so I will give them the four star rating for that because it's more like a house if you get out. Which I kind of like read more

Ordered delivery from here for the first time just hoping to find good Chinese finally and this place did not let me down! The orange chicken was excellent as was the chicken fried rice. The bbq spareribs were tasty and tender and plenty of it for the price you pay. The shrimp with rice noodles could not have been any better! Tasteful and abundant dish! I will be eating here again! read more

Everything is so tasty and not drenched in oil. Coming from So-Cal, I was shocked to find this was the only Chinese restaurant in the area that hasn't committed to drowning everything in a miasma of oil and salt. There able to produce dishes using minimal oil at an agreeable price with outstanding portions, resulting in a most pleasant meal. read more

The food was disgusting the service was terrible and the lady behind the counter kept offering us tea from a small container after drinking directly from it DO NOT COME HERE read more

Ordered through Door Dash and let me tell you . I was missing one of the my entrées and when I called the store first a lady argued that I was lying. Then a gentlemen got on the phone and stated that my Dasher must have stolen it. I explained that would be kinda hard when the bag was tied up and the soup was on the top. To make it worse having not getting any where with them the lady called me back 10 mintues later and said yet again I must be lying she did the order her self then hung up on me read more

So I am undoing my previous review on this place. The first time was really good so I wrote a review for that. Yesterday my husband went to get me chicken and rice. He came home and for my food they only gave me rice. I called and she said she would replace my meal the next day. So today we call back and order the same thing (including having to buy the rest of the families food again bc I couldn't get take out just for myself). He gets it home and they only gave me chicken today. No rice. I threw out my rice from the day before bc I wasn't going to eat JUST RICE and she said she would replace it. Well, here I am today with just chicken, which I'm not going to eat by itself bc it's chicken soaked in sauce. I can't eat that with no rice. So I call and she says to come back and get the rice. I told her we weren't going to drive across town to come back at 9pm. She said "come back tomorrow and I'll give you rice" ‍ So I tell her I'm not eating the chicken by itself tonight and I don't think I should have to eat reheated chicken (after them getting it wrong the past two nights) and I'd rather just bring the chicken back tomorrow and have the whole thing replaced and get what I actually ordered. Lady then tells me she "already gave me a free meal" Like huh?!? I paid for it and got half one day and half the next and was never told to keep the rice the first day to reheat it. I told her I paid for chicken and rice and I want chicken and rice together....she said "well you didn't pay for rice the rice is free it comes with the chicken" Homegirl....that's not free. It's a combo. That doesn't make the side free. I am so baffled she said I couldn't just bring the chicken back the next day and get what I paid for. As I was trying to explain how ludicrous that was she hung up on me ‍ So two nights in a row I am stuck eating my husbands order and she got me to come there and spend money two nights in a row bc of her mess up. read more

Worst fried rice I've ever ate. There's really not much more to say about it. I am not exaggerating. The WORST.

I have ordered from here for a couple of years I stopped about a year ago because old management allowed the place to fall apart and product to become gross and unsanitary now I order once a week and I love the food and the service I receive now(under their new management)! They know me by name and they know my order and how I like it and for a little place like chef King that is super important to me and to the people I bring to the restaurant, I always get the honey chicken or the coconut shrimp both are fantastic, the prices are great and they work with you with orders! Seriously I recommend at least trying once! You will fall in love! read more

Used the online ordering system which was a breeze. Called the restaurant two minutes later and they already had my order processing. Was able to pick it up 15 minutes later and it was ready as we walked in. Clean store and amazing customer service. Food is delicious and everyone was super friendly. Highly recommended! read more

Best Chinese food in Pensacola and I've tried a bunch.The family that runs this place is so friendly and the did I say the food is the best in Pensacola? read more

Excellent online ordering system. Quick and easy to process an order, plus they pay attention to new orders so you don't need to call to confirm yours. Very good tasting Food, I'm used to NYC Chinese food and this is the only comparable place in Pensacola. I'm Happy I found this restaurant. read more

One of the best Chinese food in town. Great online ordering system. The restaurant is always clean and the people are very friendly. Must try! read more

We really liked this Chinese place a lot to different things were excellent we will definitely come back I had lo mein my husband had a pepper chicken with rice nice people in their little only a couple little tables read more

If I could give this place a 0 star rating then I would. I ordered through DoorDash and after 2 hours of my delivery driver sitting there waiting I called and the woman who answered was rude and hung up on me. So I decided to go up there to see what the problem was and they told me that they never made it and that they were not going to be working with DoorDash. They canceled everybody's order. Horrible business. Horrible staff. I highly would recommend you go somewhere else. Literally anywhere but there. You WONT get your food. Absolutely pathetic. read more

We have been eating here for a year now and it is still the best Chinese food we've had in Pensacola! The customer service is always fantastic and the food never disappoints. 100% recommend! read more

Happy with every order we took home, which is quite often, and a wide variety of food. Always hot and in good containers, and they acknowledge special requests from my one picky eater. Friendly service :) read more

Dry , flavorless . Waste of money ! My food didn't even taste fresh . It tasted like it had been leftovers from the day before !

They are friendly and fast. The portions are good and the prices are fair. Before you leave they'll make sure you have everything you need. Not sure why they staple the bags shut but that's the only thing I think is a little unusual. read more

Not only best food but the family that owns it makes it even better. Food and atmosphere are second to none.
