Tiny but good place for a takeout craving! They have so many options and combination plates for $11 that come with an entree, side, and egg roll-all very filling. We ordered a beef lo mein combination plate, orange chicken combination plate, and an order of crab rangoons. Our order took only 15 minutes and was affordable, would get again! read more

I have been craving good fast Chinese for a few years now and THIS hit the spot! The veg fried rice had nice large chunks of vegetables that seemed like they were freshly cut. The General Tso's was the perfect balance of sweet and tangy. The crab rangoon were a lil sweet but paired with soy sauce leveled out. The hot and sour soup was a little heavy on the mushroom, but decent. This will absolutely be my go-to spot for American Chinese! read more

China King II - General Tao's, 11. Crab Rangoons, 16. Hot and Sour Soup. Vegetable fried rice. - Chinese Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

I needed to order for a large group and they did a great job! They let me call ahead and put in over 20 different individual orders!! When I went to pick it up, they had everything ready! They even carried it to my car for me! Best part was that the food was delicious! I couldn't have asked for better service! read more

This is legit NY style Chinese food. If you know, you know...lol. My go to is the boneless ribs and fried rice. Always fresh and pipping hot. The shrimp egg roll had about 3/4 shrimps in it when I'm used to 2 max. Have been here several times and will continue to come back. read more

We had an American Chinese food craving. Here they have some combination meals that come with a main, a side, and an eggroll. You can get a different side for an extra price. The lo mein was worth it, but their house fried rice was not. Crab rangoons were good, I think 10 came in the order. Would order from here again! read more

I have VERY mixed reviews on this location. On one hand their food is AMAZING. On the other hand when we went for pick up we saw a ROACH! I can't decide if its worth it to continue taking my business here. Good chinese food is hard to come by. When I've eaten here before we've always had our food delivered, so this was our first time going in to pick it up. So if we hadn't gone in I would have never known about this issue. I guess its tough because I'm sure this is common at a lot of food places, but its one thing to assume and another to KNOW. When telling a friend they said restraunts are allowed "a small amount of pests" because it would be impossible to have a location with ZERO pests. I do feel like having ants and having roaches are two different things. The only thing I can think about is if we saw the roach in the sitting area, what do they do when they are back there near the food. My moms response to this was "Let's just bless our food lol" Besides the roach, this wouldn't be a place I'd want to take my family to dine in, which they do have tables where you could eat in. The dining area was very outdated and the pictures of the food to order from were very faded. I would def classify this place as a "carry out only" place. Still debating on if I will continue eating here with knowing they have roaches. I do think they overheard us saying we saw one because we could smell a very strong smell of bug spray, which also concerns me since they were back where our food was being cooked. read more

China King II - a man standing at a counter in a restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

It's changed owners a few times, but they're still willing to make my Broccoli and Bean Curd with Garlic Sauce. They fry the tofu as crispy as I want, with no complaints. Its a little expensive at this point, like many Chinese-American food places, but worth it when I want to scratch the itch. Get the hot oil! The people watching here is second to none, resulting in a somewhat higher review than I might give otherwise. read more

Little hole in the wall but the food is good! The staff are all very nice and friendly when I call and my food is always either delivered quickly or ready for pick up quick which is always a plus when you're starving. The egg rolls are good as well as the lo main and shrimp fried rice. The general tso shrimp are HUGE and a little spicy but definitely good. I've never actually been inside so I'm not sure how the business looks but I drive past it very often and the location isn't ideal as I'm not sure where customers or even employees park? If you're trying to scratch your Chinese food itch this is definitely a good choice but the only downside is they're pretty expensive worth it however. read more

I don't know what yall are ordering from here or if these are real reviews from actual customers and not employees but this is absolutely hands down the WORST Chinese food I've ever eaten. Ordered off Uber eats and the service was fast but the food lacked absolutely any flavor at all. I ordered Mapo Tofu and vegetable Lo Mein and when I say neither dish had ANY flavor. Nothing. None. Nada. Méiyǒu rènhé. 没有任何. I was BEYOND disappointed. If you know anything about Mapo especially, it's supposed to be full of spices and flavor. Theirs lacked any, it was basically a red, flavorless, gelatinous sauce with peas and tofu. And the lo mein were just oily lo mein noodles with a few pieces of onion and a broccoli stem but also with no flavor until I added soy sauce to make it somewhat edible. I hate dousing my Chinese food in soy sauce, one packet will do and that's only if necessary. When I say disappointed, I mean very. The two stars are solely due to the tofu and noodles being well cooked and the service being well. Would highly not recommend. read more

I have been looking for a Chinese restaurant to rival the one in my hometown. This. Is. It. The chicken and broccoli was DELISH. The brown sauce was sweet and savory, the broccoli was perfectly cooked with a little bit of a crunch, and there was a more than fair share of chicken. Yum! The rice was also cooked perfectly. My partner ordered the beef with broccoli and he is still raving about it the next day. This was my first experience with delivery through Grub Hub. I was very impressed. The delivery driver called me when he was outside. It was estimated at 45-55 minutes, but arrived in about 35 minutes. Everything was great. read more

I order from CK2 all the time. It is the only delivery that I absolutely know will arrive HOT; I have to cool it off before giving it to my daughter. If you haven't tried their fried chicken wings, you're missing out. Who would have thought a Chinese takeout made the best chicken wing you ever put in your mouth?! Their house rice is delish. I've tried nearly everything on the menu, and the only thing I wouldn't recommend is the bourbon chicken. I LOVE THIS PLACE!! read more

Food was really good. Had the vegetable lo mein, sweet n sour chicken and crab Rangoon. Enjoyed it quite a bit read more

very good, very fast. Nice service, one time they called me just to confirm my order to double check what I wanted.

Horrible service, rude, no flavor...fried rice literally consisted of nothing but rice...no vegetables! I ordered 3 dinners and he gave me 3 soy packets....asked for more and he gave me one more packet! Indy why do we patronize businesses that obviously don't want our business. I'm lost! Never again! read more

I live about a block away so China King is my go to when I'm craving some Chinese. They are always super quick and the food taste great. I like the crab Rangoon and chicken fried rice. The workers are always extremely nice and the restaurant always looks clean. I will definitely keep coming to China King! read more

Usually I go to a restaurant like this one and food is really good even though the decor looks bad...this place was the exact opposite. Not only was it filthy on the inside the food was sub par. It was visibly dirty everywhere. I would never go back again. read more

China King II - This place needs some help please all contractors are welcome - Chinese Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Food was nice and hot. Ordered chicken fried rice but I wish it had more in it. It was mostly rice and chicken pieces. Also ordered the chicken "tenders" which were basically chicken pieces meant for sweet and sour chicken so heads up there. Lastly, we ordered the crab ragoon which was sweeter than others I've had. Overall not bad. Parking sucks too btw! read more

Through exhaustive research, due diligence, and trial and error, I have searched for the best Chinese restaurant in Indianapolis. I have created an algorithm that calculates the "best" by adding together taste, affordability, location, portion size in relation to cost, and customer service. After going through the numbers and calculating the score of China King, I can say with little reservation that China King on 38th is my hands down favorite. Ok, that was a lie. I hate math. But I loveeeeee me some China King. I have been here numerous times and tasted several of their dishes, and I have yet to leave disappointed. Everything is ready within "10 minute," and comes in fantastic portions. My favorite thing to order is their boneless spare ribs. Let me tell you, if you were able to package Michael Jackson in his prime, compliment it with some fried rice and serve it with a fortune cookie, that is the equivalent to their boneless spare ribs. It is the Michael Jackson of Chinese Food entrees! It's like the food (through it's smell/taste) is singing "I'm Bad!" (Editors Note: Good-Bad/Not Bad-Bad) If that example wasn't strong enough for you, if Indianapolis ever enacts the "Too Sexy for Your Own Good" law, and I am convicted and sentenced to death (apparently if you're convicted it is punishable by death), my last meal would be the boneless spare ribs platter. No exaggeration, I would face death with a smile and a full stomach. Now don't get me wrong, in terms of quality, I am sure that there are "better" Chinese restaurants in Indianapolis. But if you're looking for something quick, filling, DELICIOUS, and CHEAP, it doesn't get any better than China King! read more

China King II - If this was my last meal, I'd die happy! - Chinese Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

This place is a good spot for last minute munchies! All of my dishes have been standard Chinese take-out quality.

Great prices, but No public Restrooms! Friendly nice service. Parking is so-so. Lots of food for the money. Weird, a snow shovel was by the front door, late May and 90 degrees outside. read more

This visit gets ONE star, but I'm giving this place a three when incorporating previous experiences getting take-out from this spot. First, let me openly admit...I'm no Chinese-American dish expert. I only compare based on what I've had (and like any other internet user...what I've Googled)! Lol. Granted I just moved to IN from IL (maybe that had an impact?), when I have ordered a Chow Mein...it's usually a wok, hard stir-fried "noodle". I had a taste for these yummy noodles, and put in my order! To my disappointment, I received what I would call...a little bag of chips?? Lol. *I posted a picture of these "noodles."* If this is standard...fine. But, just posting the fair warning to those expecting to use a fork for their Chow Mein! I'll definitely stick with LoMein for my take out here. And who knows...maybe I wasn't having actual chow mein until now, and other take out places have been fooling me! Either way, I'm giving this place a three because I enjoy their Rangoons & it's prepared super quick. :) read more

China King II - Chow Mein "noodles" fair warning: They give a bag of...chips? Not the wok, hard fried "noodles" I get at other places. Go LoMein - Chinese Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

While I can't speak to the dine-in experience, I consider myself a "take out regular" as China King II is my go-to delivery every few weeks via the Yelp Eat24 setup. Our New Year's Eve meal was simple, consisting of orange chicken, fried rice, crab rangoons, and pork egg rolls. Our order was to our door in 45 minutes and within the window quoted. Food was piping hot and delish as usual. I can safely say that I've never had a bad experience with delivery from CKII. I regularly make substitutions on delivery items and they are always honored - I even asked for them to knock on my door and leave it at my doorstep once (I was having a moment) and they obliged no problem. The only reason for 4 vs 5 stars is simply that I've had better Chinese delivery in town when I lived downtown. I have no reservations about CKII being my go-to delivery in our SoBro neighborhood based on the consistent delivery and food quality. read more

I got take out from China King II the other night. I was underwhelmed by the cho mein, the veggie fried rice we ordered, and the garlic broccoli. The Cho mein looks like someone threw some vegetables in a bowl and sneezed on them. Probably wouldn't go back ever because this ain't it chief.... read more

China King II - Vegetable cho mein - Chinese Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

I've had limited success with finding quality Chinese take out in Indianapolis. That being said, China King II did a decent job fulfilling my needs for the evening when I stopped in. I bought a large wonton soup, which was reasonably priced, assembled quickly, and was pretty tasty. I've had *terrible* wonton soup at other Indy restaurants, so they're my new number one for this dish. Given that experience, I'd be willing to go back to try their other options. Also - bonus points for giving me duck sauce for the crispy wontons. read more

With the weather finally turning bearable enough to spend more than a few minutes outside, I decided I'd walk somewhere for lunch rather than having it delivered or wasting the gas to drive somewhere. I'm a huge fan of Chinese food. So I was happy to realize that China King II is just a few blocks over from my office building. Placing my order online was quick and easy. The lunch specials are priced just right at about $6 a plate and they only take about 10 minutes until they're ready. As far as I'm concerned, this is a far better deal than getting drive thru. It's a more rounded meal for the same or less than most fast food value meals and when you factor in driving to get to anything else, I probably saved time. The restaurant itself was clean and the lady who checked me out was super nice. The parking lot is a little small. So I'm glad I was on foot. The food itself was hot and fresh. Surprising for little money and a short wait time. The general tso's sauce was delicious and the broccoli was surprisingly fresh and crisp. For lunch, the portion size was perfect. I was just full enough that I wasn't hungry and could make it through my workday without being overstuffed and miserable. Is it the best Chinese food In Indianapolis? No and I won't go out of my way to get it when I'm not at works. But it serves its purpose and the value for the price was great. So this will definitely be my go-to lunch place. If you work or live around North Meridian and 38th, give them a try. They don't look like much from the outside but we all know the saying about books and covers. read more

So, we were in search of some neighborhood Chinese food...this fits the bill. Open and spacious restaurant pumping out the to go orders! We ordered onsite and chose take out. The space is clean but in a very interesting strip mall. Parking can be difficult if you come from the Delaware side of the strip mall. Anyhoo, I was disappointed because they use yellow rice in their fried rice. And the fried rice is really heated rice with some shrimp in it. No scallions, no eggs, nothing. Just rice and shrimp. *disappointed face* I also ordered the curry shrimp...It was super heavy on the curry, which was tasty, but again low on the veggies. I'm just used to more veggies in my Chinese food. For all of the food we received it was cheaper than most places. However, with all of the Chinese options out here, I probably won't give this another try. read more

First of all, this was the first time I ordered take out through Yelp and I LOVED it. I don't know anyone who loves calling and ordering food. Thanks, Yelp, for saving the world by decreasing the number of awkward phone calls, one order at a time. Our order was fast (maybe 10-15 minutes?), the staff was polite, and the food good. General Tsos, chicken with broccoli, and crab rangoon got 2 thumbs up from our crew. The egg rolls were just okay. Not much to write home about concerning the interior or the restaurant, it was plain, clean, and had pictures of the dishes on menu- your typical American Chinese restaurants. 38th street and Meridian area can be a bit sketch and there isn't a ton of parking close to the front of the restaurant. As a female, walking by herself, late at night, I felt somewhat unsafe. If any of these variables had changed I would not have noticed it as much. Just a heads up; be aware of your surroundings and be smart- you'll be fine :) read more

This is our go to Chinese place. The food always tastes great and is hot however the service is not consistent. Sometimes the food is prepared quickly sometimes you wait 10 mins longer than what you were told. They always tell you thank you and/or have a nice day though and are very friendly. Either way the food is great and I will continue to stop in! read more

Great tasting food, good delivery service and cleaner than a Beijing hutong fandian, but could still use a good scrub up.

This place is a pretty standard (American) Chinese fast-food joint, standard red menu that can be found in dozens of strip centers. They get the standard stuff right, it is clean inside (worn out and old, but clean), they are open holiday's like Christmas and odd times like in near-blizzard conditions when other places are closed. There advantages to this place over others: the orders are correct, the portions are sizable. I've certainly picked this place due to the lack of decent Thai or mexican options in the area. Good "Chinese" is better than bad Thai or Mexican, IMO. read more

Okay, here's the caveat for my review. This place delivers to my house. NO ONE delivers to my house. With out that sweet little perk I would be reviewing at 3 stars. That being said, this is your standard strip mall Chinese. I have nothing against it. it's sorta comfort food to me, as growing up my mother did not cook, so carryout Chinese was a staple in our little household. The good...Grease, grease and grease. The lo mein is yummy in any meaty or meatless combo. The shrimp with lobster sauce is also tasty and the shrimp are huge and tender. I only wish they didn't supplemant the shrimp with fake crab. The crab rangoon are sweet and creamy. Also or import, they have NEVER screwed up my order. The bad...not the best location, parking is difficult and needless to say not in the swankiest of locales. Also, I ordered boneless spare ribs on our last delivery and it was literally like beef jerky, nearly unchewable. However, that was the first dish that I've ordered from them in over 2 years that I took issue with. Certainly not a place that you will drive across town to visit but if you're in the area and in need of greasy goodness this is your place! read more

Very inexpensive food and it's right around the corner from my apartment. I placed my order and was told it would be ready within ten minutes, so I had enough time to throw on some shoes and drive up before my food was ready. My only complaints are the parking and the General Tso's Chicken. The restaurant is located on a strip at the corner of Meridian and 38th, where parking is hard to come by. So it actually took longer to find a place to park than it did to drive there. Also the General Tso's chicken was a little bland. I will most definitely be ordering from here again as it was a quick, inexpensive and very good meal! read more

they deliver in the neighborhood! within the 35-45 minute stated, our General Tso was just right, not too spicy, i thought their egg-roll was really spicy almost kimchi spicy! Their crab raggons are on the sweet side? read more

I have ordered from here a couple times without issue. However the most recent outing there was some...foreign matter in the food. Best case scenario it was dirt, worst case rat feces. It had been cooked but the shape was correct. Either way it is clearly not clean. Please avoid this place. read more

Awful service entire order was wrong and they would not refund me even after i offered to return food. I told them it was unacceptable and got hung up on. The food wasnt even okay tasting it was like some cheap dog food and a load of onions. I will never order from here again this was not my first time being disappointed from this place but it will be the last! read more

This place is not in the best spot in town but I didn't feel unsafe in there. They had a camera up front. The place is very clean. The food comes in very large portions. The "American Chinese" food was not bad but it was not the best. If you are craving chinese though it will hit the spot. I saw comments about staff being rude but they were wry hard working and nice. Order ahead because my friend and I waited forever for our food and there were literally 4 people who came after us for pickup and got their food before us. read more
