I specifically asked if the sweet-and-sour sauce was included with the item I was ordering, and was told it was. I only received an itemized receipt with the food after completing payment, which is when I noticed I was charged separately for the sauce (after it was too late to change my order). I'm fine paying extra when a business needs to charge for small add-ons. However, I really dislike non-transparent business practices (like waiting until after the transaction is complete to provide an itemized receipt or providing customers inaccurate pricing info). read more

Food was good but dry. We have never had it like this before, it's always had sauce in it but not today. I didn't recognize anyone in there today & I'm in there all the time At least 1 or 2 times a week sometimes. read more

After reading a lot of reviews, we decided to try it! It's pretty good! I got Beef and Broccoli and she got Sesame Chicken with fried rice. Cons: There is no seeds on the sesame chicken, and it's not as sweet as it typically is. The fried rice is just fried white rice. No additional items in it. Pros: Everything is fresh and hot! The service was kind, and it was fast! Good size portions for lunch combos! I give it 4 stars because it's good, fast, the store was nice and clean, and the service was good! The bump to 4 for me was that it's not traditional sesame chicken or fried rice. But that doesn't say it's bad! It's still really good, but the pictures showed more traditional style. Definitely worth a try! It's local, fast, and good! read more

Food was good and tasty. Egg rolls crisp. Food prepared quickly. Portions are ok size.

No more real chili peppers in the Kung Pao Chicken. The latter is also lacking any flavor. I've eaten there for years but this is my last.

Very good Chinese food. Satisfies my New York tastes even here in North Carolina. The traditional gotos done right; Crispy egg rolls Savory pork fried rice Sweetly sour Sweet and Sour chicken. read more

I'm not sure what is in the Kung Po Chicken, Sesame Chicken and Curry Chicken but it doesn't have the consistency of chicken. It just mushes in your mouth and has no chicken flavor or chew to it. Really...what is it? I'm concerned. I thought maybe I got tofu in mine but surely they can't make the same mistake in all three entrees. I would hope. My daughter's both told me the chicken is weird in theirs to so I tried them both and it was the same. I'm not sure if I'll be returning. It tasted good but the meat was unidentifiable. Scary. read more

Online menu is apparently wrong. Was charged almost double the prices listed online. Dinner combos advertised with PORK FRIED rice, got plain fried rice which was awful. read more

Chicken lo mein is phenomenal! Been here twice now and great food both times. No interior dining but for a takeout option, this is a quick and delicious place. read more

We don't eat here very often at all maybe once a year because this place is very stingy with thier seafood. As one of the pictures shows, you get about 60% rice 30% broccoli and if your fortunate enough you'll get maybe 10% shrimp at best. And the pix of the food speak for themselves, they're incredibly loaded with grease. Sure of you don't care about your own health and weight and getting a proper amount of seafood that you paid for with your hard earned money then by all means enjoy and disregard this review. Hope you good health insurance for when you aquire coronary issues. Have a nice day read more

They have pretty good food here. I like how quick they are to get your food out. The employees are nice. Last time I went here, I got the shrimp with broccoli and the crab Rangoon. Both were very good. But the sauce they had on the shrimp was a bit heavy for my taste. read more

We order from here quiet often and the food is always good. The staff are friendly and quick and the order is always accurate. Can't say that about a lot of places. read more

The food was great, I didn't have to wait, and the people were really nice! This may be our family's new Chinese place

We had given up on China King in the past, but decided to try it again tonight. Unfortunately, we were reminded of why we had taken our appetites for Chinese elsewhere, to a non-chain Chinese eatery. We had Mongolian chicken. It was bland and greasy. The order taker was somewhat abrupt on the phone, but at least she did get our order correct. read more

This is the worst Chinese I ever ate. I didn't even eat the food. It was so bad I wouldn't even give it to a stray dog. No go for me!

Best Chinese food in Hickory. The food is fast and fresh. This place beats anything at the buffet. The prices cheap and the food delicious. My only problem is that you need to be careful with the shrimp they serve in their meals. They are not always de-veined and it affects the flavor greatly. Other than that, I've never had a bad experience. read more

I've been coming here for years. Recently (last 6 months or so) the food quality has declined. Some of the recipes have changed, not for the better. I guess to add insult to injury, while the food quality has declined the prices have increased. read more
