    Hard to believe any of the good reviews about this place. Probably the worst takeout I've ever had, food was straight up gross.

    Very underrated. Best Chinese food in town. It's really a takeout or delivery place, but the food is good.

    There aren't a ton of restaurants to choose from in Monticello so we took our chances on Golden…read moreKitchen. I was so glad we did! Quick take out service (you can also eat in), yummy fresh food. It's not on the menu but you can replace any chicken dish for tofu. The servings were large so we're unable to finish ours. I abstained from the hotel breakfast to finish my Chinese in the room. Yum!

    We ordered a take out order on a Sunday and picked it up just after noon. We ordered Szechuan…read moreChicken marked as "Spicy" on the menu, and Mongolian Beef as well, and Egg Drop soup and a single egg roll. The staff that took the order over the phone and handled the transaction we I picked the order up were very polite and pleasant, and also very efficient. But like most restaurants the most important part is the food. Overall we were not very impressed with what we received. Normally Szechuan foods have a rich spicy flavor, or a least a nice spicy kick or punch to it. The chicken I got came in very sweet brown sauce with no heat at all almost like they forgot to add the Szechuan peppers (or at least red pepper flake), the veggies were a bit over cooked, and the chicken had little to no flavor. The Mongolian beef was in the exact same sweet brown sauce and was so lacking in beef my girlfriend questioned if it was in fact a vegetarian version. She counted two pieces of beef in the whole serving. The rice was slightly over cooked almost like what you would find on a buffet table at the end of the lunch rush. The soup was flavorful with plenty of egg, and the egg roll was crispy but similar to what you find the in the freezer section of an Asian market. Not sure if we just hit them on a bad day, or if this is how the food normally is. Most likely it will be a long time before we try them again, if at all.

    If you haven't tried the Crazy Salmon Roll from China King, you haven't lived yet. Seriously --…read moreit's that good. Fresh, rich salmon wrapped in a perfect balance of flavor and texture that hits every craving you didn't even know you had. The place itself is always clean, the staff is friendly, and the food comes out fast and piping hot. You can tell they care about quality -- everything from the sushi to the moo goo gai pan is spot-on. But that Crazy Salmon Roll? That's next-level. I've eaten sushi all over, and somehow this little spot in Vandalia nailed it better than most big-city places. Do yourself a favor: skip the usual, order the Crazy Salmon Roll, and thank me later. You haven't truly lived until you've had one.

    We decided to stop in China King for a sitdown meal on a recent road trip and are happy we did…read more There's a good amount of seating both tables and booths. We sat down and a waitress came to us for our drink orders and our food order. She was friendly, helpful and attentive throughout the meal, refilling drinks, and asking if we needed anything. Our food came out quickly. It was hot. It was fresh and it tasted good. Two people in our family ordered the general Tao and we really liked the sauce. The crab Rangoon's were a nice size with a good amount of filling. Overall we were very happy with our meal and left satisfied.
