Love the fried chicken wings. I also get the honey chicken meal with pork fried rice. Always great lunch specials & fresh every time!

This is the worst Chinese food in Deland. The rice was hard so I guess not thoroughly cooked. Very bland and the service was rude. I won't be back. read more

Haven't been here since 2019 and thought I'd try again this trip to Florida. Ordered simply shrimp fried rice and although there was ample shrimp, it tasted bland and I couldn't enjoy because rice wasn't cooked enough. read more

I like this place. It offers good Chinese takeout at a good price it delivers just that. I've been coming for a couple years now and will continue to do so while I live nearby. read more

China King - a person holding a piece of food in a plastic container - Chinese Near Me - DeLand, Florida

I ordered through door dash so I have zero knowledge of their customer service. I ordered the general Tso's chicken, it is so over fried I am convinced that my "chicken" is just extra extra fried dough with sauce. So hard I can't even bite it. Not a fan of the rice either read more

China King - General Tso's - Chinese Near Me - DeLand, Florida

This is a perfect example of why we support local businesses. Eaten here many times, And every time it's always fast and fresh. Anytime you order Chinese food it's going to be 1520 minutes and that's expected. When we walked in at 7 o'clock there was on gentleman in the store. We went to Order our food and then one couple and another gentlemen walked in after us while we were still deciding on what to order. They made their orders, clearly being their first time here ( asking questions like- "do you have egg rolls?" Or like the picture above the counter shows dumplings, "do you have steamed dumplings?" Seriously? And both parties ordered 1 thing. ) they each paid, and went to the tables to wait. Meanwhile the gentleman behind the counter is also politely taking orders over the phone too for people calling in. When we went to order I finished my receipt and forgot to order eggrolls so he politely helped me make another purchase and was patient with me and not in a hurry to rush me. Since I was having troubles with my order, now both of the people waiting were getting verbally impatient, complaining that he was the only person there. This is a family owned business, their whole family works in the shop. The man behind the counter's wife, who usually is at the register, had taken their children home real quick and would be right back he told me. We told him no rush. You expect when you go into a restaurant (fast or not) for Chinese food that making your meal is going to take at least 15-20 minutes. They complained and made Comments about where the chef was, not knowing that he was the one that actually is going to make the food, or that it would actually be 15-20 minutes and that she would be right back. ( If you were in such a rush, go to McDonald's) The quality of food here is always good and lighter than most of the heavy oily places around. I pay for quality and understand what it takes to make a meal. And 15-20 (and even 25 minutes depending on how much we order) is acceptable and understandable. After we ordered, we stepped out and walked up the Publix strip and came back, like we usually do, and the food was ready- hot, fresh and smelling great. I will always keep coming back here, not just because of the courteous owner and his patience with the ignorance of customers sometimes, but because I know the food is tasty, hot and fresh, and abundant (see pics). read more

See all

The food is always fresh and delicious. Customer service is great and it always takes about 15-20 minutes (just like they tell you) to get my food after I order it. Best Chinese food in DeLand read more

Don't waist your time calling in an order. 1 they can't understand you and you can't understand them, and when you finally get the order in, 2 they don't even start it till you arrive! Tried to save some time by phoning in the order, and they didn't even start it till after I arrived and paid! Food is good, that is the redeeming stars! Everything we ordered tasted good. We have been coming here for nearly a year and it has been consistent. read more

SLOW. SLOW. No one ahead of us. 30 minutes and counting for four basic lunch orders. Can't tell you what the food tastes like, because we still haven't gotten our food. SLOW. SLOW. SLOW. Will not be back. 40 minutes and we have 2 of four meals. 50 minutes and 3 of 4. Tastes okay, but not even close to being worth the wait. Can you say S-L-O-W???! Finally at 55 minutes we have Chinese fast food. read more

Horrible food.I ordered sesame chicken combo dinner.The chicken was very small pieces of over cooked fried chewy tough chicken.The fried rice was undercooked and semi hard.Customer service was horrible and rude when ordering over the phone.The girl at the front counter has poor customer service and does not know how to say thank you.She has an attitude that she is doing you a favor when you pick up your order. Not a good way to run a business. read more

Had a $32.00 order delivered today. I ordered the pu pu Platter of which only 2 egg rolls were not over cooked. 2 items were unrecognizable because they were black with a burnt smell. Chicken wings were too Crispy and dry- horrible - the ribs were not tender and although they didn't appear to be burnt the taste was like biting on charcoal! The wonton soup was good and the house fried rice was very good. Since the platter comes with most of the meat I give the entire meal a low 2. Very disappointed. The establishment should really know that items are overcooked just from texture and color. As a customer it was an experience I will not repeat! Most expensive item, the pu pu platter is waiting for the garbage collector! I should have looked at Yelp first. read more

The most horrible Chinese food I have ever had. Their sweet and sour chicken had very tough chicken pieces and the batter was very thick. The sauce was in a container and wasn't even hot. If you get soup, they only give you half a bag of noodles. I have never seen that at a Chinese restaurant before. The mother that works the front, if the daughter isn't there, is rude. They don't even smile at you. I'm so glad that Panda Express will be opening in this area. read more

I go here every few months and the food is always good with large portions. The people are nice and they're very quick. I don't know why it has bad reviews because I've been going since it opened and I've never had a bad experience. I also like that they're so careful with COVID precautions. read more

Not very good for the price taste like the cook didn't have a good day and took it out on the food so sad because it had some good reviews

Was very disappointed in this place ordered chicken fried rice it was chicken broth on the rice and boiled chicken and a few carrots also ordered orange chicken tasted like it had ketchup in it also ordered moo shu pork too sweet in all I ordered 6 different dishes. To give this place a review is really a waste of my time but just to warn ppl don't waste your money here. Unless you want Bad food. China Dragon across the street has more flavor in my opinion even tho they have changed ownership recently it's better than read more

So being from the NorthEast, I'm a bit picky about my Chinese food. But I'd have to say that this might be as good as it gets in DeLand! We ordered a Shrimp & Broccoli lunch combo platter and a Shrimp Lo Mein lunch combo platter. Both were prepared deliciously! We ordered on the phone and the food was ready as promised in 15 minutes!!! I love how convenient the location is for us and the parking is a breeze since they share the parking lot with Publix! We will be back!!! read more

If they had a contest called a Suckathon, this place would win. It truly sucks and I think they know it. If you read the reviews, you'll see a pattern..." high priced, tiny portions, and no meat". The good news is, it's a small town and word travels fast. This dive won't make it a year! read more

Shrimp and broccoli was terrible, the shrimp were over cooked, there was little to no sauce on it and it was very dry and tasteless. When I called to tell them about it I was told I didn't order from them. read more

I ordered Beef & Brocolli last night and found the portions of quality meat and vegetables to be balanced, unlike other places that give you a pile of cheap meat. They actually put garlic in for season. The WonTon soup was good and had 4 instead of the usual 5 but they tasted better too. This location may just have the philosophy of quality over quantity which is how I prefer. Definately going to try some more dishes here. read more

My wife and I LOVE chinese food and were eager to try a new place as the options in Deland are limited and awful. We ordered our usual go to meals when taste testing.. General Tso for her and Sweet and Sour Chicken for me. To be honest, we didn't get to eat anything, but the food an older couple was eating did not look great. I'm scoring the one star based on service and overall impression. The girl ran my card through the chip reader. It wouldn't go through. After 4 or 5 attempts, I gave her my wifes card, same issue. I asked her to swipe instead because most places with that type of device do, but she just became rude and insinuated that I had no money. I took my card and left. 5 minutes later, I made a debit purchase up the street. Her incompetence and attitude cost them $25 and possible future customers for sureg read more

I tried this place a week after it opened. There was a long line so I was optimistic. I'm afraid I had my hopes dashed. I ordered a honey chicken combo and was sadly disappointed. The chicken pieces were small and buried in a massive amount of fried dough. The rice was bland as was the egg roll. They also used the newer and smaller plastic containers for their food. Basically you get about three quarters of the food as places that use the aluminum containers. There are better choices for Chinese nearby. Hopefully they will improve over time. read more

Very expensive for the quality they offer, not recommend, the rice undercooked and the wings overcok

Fairly average Chinese, nothing special here. Ordered Sweet and Sour Chicken and Pork, Sesame Chicken, Wonton, Egg Rolls, and Chicken Wings. The Sweet and Sour Chicken was a little undercooked, the breading being a bit mushy in the middle, Pork fried rice that came with it was good. The fried wontons were average and what we expected. Eggrolls seem a bit on the small side compared to other places I've been. Chicken wings were actually very good, thumbs up on that. Sesame chicken was on average with other places I have been. The Sweet and Sour sauce, falls on the sourer side which I actually like a bit more than ones that tend to be overly sweet. This place doesn't offer free crab rangoon for larger orders like some places in the area do. Instead of being a 3-star average rating, I give a 2 for the mushy middle of the Sweet and Sour Chicken, the smaller eggrolls, and no crab rangoon. read more

This is the best Chinese spot in DeLand! They're the only place with 'real' Crab Rangoon anywhere in the area! The Sesame Chicken is good too. Nice people, and it's a great place. read more

This was my first experience with China King. I ordered my food and it arrived in a timely manner. When I got the food home the portions were good and it tasted OK, it met our expectations for a take-out Chinese restaurant. The portions of fried noodles were surprisingly small though maybe two ounces of them in a small bag.The cashier really had an attitude though and she spoke so softly and with an accent that you could hardly hear or understand her. When I walked into the restaurant instead of greeting me she walked back to the prep area. I don't think her attitude is entirely her fault though as someone in the back was giving her "what for" loudly! It doesn't seem like the restaurant has a good team spirit. As I paid for my order the cashier didn't mention that the condiments, silverware and napkins were along the wall and I needed to get some. When I got my order home all of that was missing from my take out bag! I thought they usually gave you that stuff before you were handed it, they usually ask you if you want any sauces with it but she didn't even mention them or say to help myself with the items along the wall. I don't like dealing with attitudy people so this will be my first and last visit here, there are plenty of other Chinese restaurants in the area. read more

I really didn't like this place, I order a kung po chicken and what I got was a plate full of celery and like 5 pieces of chicken, don't waste your time or money. Very disappointed read more

We are new to the area and after trying another Chinese restaurant, came here. The food is fresh fresh fresh, and lighter than other Chinese restaurants I've tried. We have found our go to spot. The bone in spare ribs are superb, and the Sesame Chicken is a favorite as well. Don't buy into the reviews, try it for yourself. So glad we did. read more

I've gone here a couple of times with no problems. This time was different. The young girl came up front to get my order with a phone attached to her ear! She then proceeded to put him on speaker and sit the phone down in front of the cash register, all the while he and she were speaking Chinese to each other. She then leaned over towards me and whispered "Your order"? I started to give her my order when she started laughing over what the person on the phone was saying. I told her very loudly that she has a customer in front of her! She gives me a look like I was the rude one!!! Never going back. read more

We moved to DeLand last year and were hoping to find a Chinese restaurant that tasted like our favorite in Virginia and this one is it! Their chicken with garlic is soooo good, my mom's only wish is for more carrots, but the flavor is perfect! The only other dishes we've tried is the Szechwan chicken and Kung po chicken, both delicious! I read some reviews and these people that own this are hard workers and I always believe if you smile and greet also, you get that back in return and we find this restaurant exceptional! During the shut down and China King was closed, we tried one across the road as we were craving the chicken with garlic sauce and the food was very bland and we didn't finish it. I road up to see if China king was open yet and they were working to put up barriers and laughed when I knocked on the window and asked them to hurry it up! We then tried one in Debary and it was ok but not like this one. We are very lucky to have them in our area and I always call my order in and it is always hot, fresh and delicious!! I hate the negative reviews as we need this business to remain and thrive!! Thank you for the wonderful food and friendly manner with which you present it as this family appreciates it! read more

I was excited to try a new Chinese place but the food here was awful. Pork fried rice should not be yellow. It had dried peas in it with maybe 3-4 small pieces of pork in it. The general tsos chicken was not good either. I asked for extra spicy and there was no spice at all. The egg roll was very bland. I will admit that the crab Rangoon was very good. But unfortunately I won't be going back. Too expensive for the small amount of food that is unappealing. read more

Good Chinese food is hard to come by in DeLand. I have been pleased with both of my experiences here. The dishes are made fresh, served quickly, and taste great! The portions are a little smaller than most other restaurants, but they make up for it in quality. read more

Was hoping for a good Chinese place near home. Unfortunately this was bad and gave them a second chance

Food was excessively salty and owner was super rude. After picking up my order, I called to ask about a nut reaction. The owner said he didn't understand me and told me that they were too busy. He then hung up on me. There are too many delicious chinese rest. options to have to eat bad food and worst, be treated poorly. I will never visit this place again and I do not recommend their food. read more

Avoid this place if you have taste-buds. Worst Chinese food I've had in 40+ years. 'Bland King' would be a better name. No flavor, too oily. Wal Mart or Hungry Howies could make better Chinese food. You could cook better Chinese. It was as if they took card board and served a side of rice with it. The main dishes; Chicken and Beef: bland! The Rice: bland! The Eggrolls: bland! Krab Scam-goon: all cream cheese, not even imitation crab/krab taste. Everything was over-priced for Chinese. Portions were small and not accurate in menu. Rip-off. Just because they speak Chinese doesn't translate that they can cook good. The tables are very, very filthy; looked like that hadn't been cleaned in days. Avoid this place! Blah food, bad experience. :( read more

We've ordered here several times. I thought it was good for take out Chinese. Good value and the people are nice.

First I order general tso chicken and it's looks like spareribs. I call to let them know they messed up with my order and got told that there food isn't suppose to looking or taste the same as others. I'm sorry but if you order American Chinese food it should look and taste the way you expect it too. I understand different spices or recipes but it should not look like ribs when you order chicken. I was told by the man on the phone if I came back for the right food or refund he will call the cops on me. So I went back like I should have and asked for a refund. The lady was trying to be helpful, however the guy just kept yelling at me on the top of his lungs. I got my refund and told never come back. Don't worry about that, I'm not getting nasty food and bad service. I don't expect your restaurant to last much longer with these reviews. I should have read them before I ordered but it was right next to the grocery store so I didn't. I hate even writing this because this is the first and hopefully the last bad review I have to give,but the guy was so rude I had to let it be known that this is not a good place to try. Plus kid friendly is another lie they got mad the kids sat in chairs while we waited for our food. read more
