China King

As you walk in the place is the A Typical Chinese Restaurant where it's just untidy enough to…read morequestion if eating inside could be normal. The three employees were not rude, but clearly busy cooking for the lunch rush of delivery orders. The Food - Steamed Dumplings were light and perfectly aligned with my expectations. They did not disappoint. Sesame Chicken was A Typical. A little dry but still had enough sauce to roll a piece in the rice and get a nice even coating of rice. Teriyaki Chicken was light and delicious, but I failed to pick up on any teriyaki flavor. However it was a nice mix of chicken and veggies in a rich comforting sauce. Egg Roll, if your an egg roll fan this one is a hard pass. Freezer burned and chewy with odd colored insides was reminiscent of all the other poor choices I have made in life. Crab Rangoon was visibly overcooked so I could not bring myself to explore the disappointment that awaited me. I didn't try it. All in all, the food lives up to the fame of Midwest Chinese Takeout.

I wanted to be fair, so I have intentionally waited until we have been here three visits. We have…read moregone for lunch each time. The first was while in a hotel when we first arrived in June to move into our "forever home" in Staunton (about 10 miles away). We went again a month or so after moving in. We went today (Sunday lunch) because we wanted to pick up a few things at Walmart. Understand where I (we) are coming from. My wife spent her childhood in Hawaii, and her father is Japanese. I am an Army veteran, and have been to plenty of Asian restaurants around the world. I do have a tough standard. I am sincerely not trying to punch down. I want this place to be good, it would be better for my retirement years for it to be good. It is the closest option for buffet. Our Staunton option is a menu only, and it is also not a good option, at all. I understand that a place needs to cater to its patrons to be profitable. I am not saying they don't try, I'm not saying they don't care. I do understand that americanized and (bland) is what they need to lean into. Our lunch today was $40 and we both left unsatisfied. I am willing to eat anything and have the girth to prove it. My wife is a bit more particular, but certainly has the ability to provide a decent value judgement on the things she chooses. There just are not consistently good choices to be had here. The "sushi" for example is marginal at best. There are more breaded/fried items than truly exist in Asian menus at other places I have been. The other items almost always have a sauce that is salt and sugar forward. There are very few spices/textures that I would expect from a Chinese menu. It is relatively clean, the people working here do try to do a good job. I appreciate the effort required to put all this together for us. It has the standard Chinese restaurant decorations (I think there is a kit that can be ordered from somewhere), but they haven't overdone it. I do understand and accept that people like this place, and appreciate the offerings. I am in no way looking down on their preference, [To each their Own] and please continue to enjoy it. If you are however, just passing through, it may not be the best stop for good Chinese food, okay "food" sure, but not on par with other options I have enjoyed.

However, there is something about this place that hits a little bit different. The service is consistently quick, and we've never had to wait for a table, even during what should be the busier hours. In my experience, the food is almost always replenished promptly, so we're not hovering around an empty tray hoping it magically refills. They also offer a solid range of meat options, and I really appreciate the variety of proteins they have around. I also genuinely enjoy their hibachi station. It's simple, but it always scratches that itch and there are a lot of options for sauces/add-ins. Overall, this is a very solid buffet, and can't beat it for the price. 4/5 stars.

I appreciate how clean the buffet is, well stocked and wiped down. I would eat here again, even if to ignore the not too friendly or welcoming staff. No one cracks a smile and it's a little uncomfortable. But the food is descent. Three of us ate for $53. If the service was more friendly, I'd feel better about leaving a tip & I do tip generously... I just don't think the staff is inviting or welcoming. If you can get past that, for Ginger a try if you're looking for a quick, sit down Chinese meal.

A large, clean, well maintained dining room room.

Unhelpful! Saw another employee a few minutes later and asked she said 5 mins. In the meantime 2 others that came in after me got their food and another man who must of been the owner or manager, because he came in made it rounds, talked tips with the unhelpful lady, got his food and left... atp I just want a refund and she refuses because I paid with my Apple Pay and must see a card number to verify.... Rudely asks if I can have someone bring it, NO, so I returned said card and she's EATING at the counter! As someone that has order carry out for over 10 years from here I am very disappointed in the employees rude and careless attitude! Spend your money at China HING and save yourself the trouble! I should have trusted my instinct and not came back after the last time my crab legs were shorted. It's ironic they will call you when you're running late to pick up an order but are rude and careless when they don't work in a timely manner!!
