I have been coming to this Shell station for years, all the way back when Penn's Seafood operated in this location. Then one day, I noticed the "China King" sign going up. I am not going to lie, I waited a long time to give this place a try, and I must say it was a pleasant surprise. So far I've tried the combination lo mein, the chicken egg foo young, and the broccoli with garlic sauce, the food has actually been really good each time. I keep missing out on their chicken wings.
I only gave it three stars because I couldn't get the chicken wings, and I am not too crazy about the "yellow rice" with fried rice. But there's is better than the other places around the metro area. They deserve a solid 3.5 for now, but Yelp doesn't let reviewers give half-stars. If they switch to brown rice for the fried rice dishes, and I get a hold of the chicken wings and if they pass the taste test, I will bump them up to four stars.
The portions were great. The food was hot, fresh, and on time. I will be going back. read more
