We all understand that these little strip-mall Chinese places are not the apex of Chinese cuisine. That does not exist around here, but once in a while this sounds good to us and China King serves the purpose. First of all, it is very close to where we stay. Second, it is really an inexpensive meal for us. We always order the small portions for our meals and the small portion makes two meals at about $5-$6 per meal. Not bad! MS T is generally not going to order the spicier dishes and gets something like Chicken and Broccoli. I am always looking for a dish with pork or chicken and plenty of vegetables, in a brown sauce (not the clear wallpaper paste ones) and I want it spicy. China King is a little on the bland side, but my most recent order of Hunan Chicken, extra spicy, was really pretty good. We always make sure to have our own soy sauce, duck sauce and sambal oolek so we can dress things up a little. In this case I did not need more than an extra splash of soy sauce. They also make acceptable egg rolls. I don't know, but maybe they have gotten a little better over the past few years. It appears from the carryout I saw, while waiting for mine, that they do a good business. I will be ready for another visit before we depart in a few weeks. Three stars is A-OK with me. read more

The food was AMAZING but I definitely got too much for just me the restaurant it's self was a bit messy and dirty but it was worth it to get that AMAZING Food again! read more

China King - FOODS - Chinese Near Me - Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina

Definitely a take out Chinese place. They still have the COVID protocol stuff up from a couple of years ago. Plexiglass with windows and a pass through. Kitchen is easily seen from the counter and looked pretty clean. Food was ready on time and was a large quantity per order. The hot sour soup was more than enough for two. The server was nice at the window. The quality of the food is average to slightly below average. It wasn't greasy, just bland. Probably a one and done for us. read more

Food was great! Got shrimp lo mein and crab Rangoon. The Rangoon was the best on the beach as far as I'm concerned. Not the little purses, the big triangles. Great job! read more

China King - the inside of a fast food restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina

Meh at best. Got my order wrong and the pork fried rice pieces of pork were cut so small that I thought they were seasoning.

horrible . the worst Chinese /asian food you can get. I just got overcharged by about $4.50. Thieves!!!! Item was $9.19 on menu- but they charged me $12.69 ! For watery, uncooked food. Huge chunks of raw carrot and huge nasty chunks Green pepper .... In Shrimp Curry. It's disgusting China King is a joke!! A Bad Joke. If you want to spend your vacation on the toilet or in the emergency room, stop by and have some of the crappiest Chinese "food" ever!!!!!! It was decent several years ago but its train wreak now very unsanitary and dirty. Tables were unwired............. This is a Health Department 911 ! read more

I had the Singapore Mi Fung it was pretty good. Portion was was decent and the staff was great

China king was not bad! I had low expectations, because of the mediocre to bad reviews online, but I thought it wasnt that bad. I got fried chicken wings, which were delicious. I also got lo mein, which was a bit too saucy, but also not bad. I've had worse lo mein before. read more

This restaurant had nice procedures in place for COVID. Online ordering and paying was a very easy option to get quick take out. I found the staff to be polite. The food was standard Chinese fare in my opinion. Big portions and low prices. read more

Not bad. Was put off by the other reviews a bit but found the food to be pretty tasty. Better than expected for a strip mall Chinese carry out place. read more

Best chinese. On the OBX best egg rolls crab rangoon and general Tso's everything is top knotch

We were in the area and famished so decided to give it a try. We ordered tofu with vegetables. Longer wait but food was very good and generous portion. The counter person was pleasant. We did have to ask for someone to wipe a table for us as none were clean. There's room for improvement in cleanliness. Two peeves - a tip jar at the counter where customer orders food and buses their own table. NO! And, using styrofoam plates for dine in?! Doesn't seem friendly for the environment. read more

Update: don't go here unless you're trying to get a food borne illness. The guy handled raw meat and proceeded to pack up my food without any gloves or hand washing. Then when I asked for my refund I got it back in cash with some bonus raw meat juice on it. Extremely unsanitary. Cooking without any gloves and simultaneously handling money without washing their hands in between. I saw the guy briefly run his hands under water before taking another guy's money, without using any soap, then he went back to putting his hands all over some dumplings immediately after handling the money. This place should be shut down. With a 92.5 sanitary rating it seems like it's on the verge of it. Also watched a cook scratching/picking his nose while typing this. read more

I just happened to be shopping in this strip mall when I saw this place. Like a good girl, I Googled reviews before going in. Good reviews and I was on time to get the lunch prices. Got lunch (shrimp egg foo yung, vegetable lo mein, white rice, two spring rolls, and two fortune cookies) for my daughter and I. Really good and enough food for three meals each, believe it or not. So six (6) meals for under $20. Not bad. read more

I truly like Chinese food but ever time I have gone to China King the food was awful. The chicken was over cooked & dry. I couldn't even get my fork through the chicken to pick it up. The General Tso chicken was very little chicken & a whole lot of breading. I have ordered several different items from them & have never been satisfied & I am not picky. I normally never leave a review for anyone but it bothered to the point that I needed to. read more

Even for cheap, lowbrow Chinese, this was just awful. Wonton soup was greasy & foul. (How do you mess up wonton soup??!) The beef with garlic sauce, also swimming in grease. No thanks. read more

Foul. I should have known when I walked in the door, cause this place is a dump but I never judge a book by its cover. I was hoping it would actually be authentic and good. I bought a full meal. Probably the worst Chinese food I've ever had. The food tasted of rancid oil. Stay away and spend your money elsewhere. read more

Don't go there! You'll be disappointed!!! We Bought a hot & spicy beef to go and all we had was onions and with 2 slice of beef with a little bit of sprinkle meat. read more

I'm on vacation and was craving some Chinese food just like home and I order the chicken wings and the chicken tasted like soap and rice was dried with no flavor ; my sister had the beef broccoli but the beef what under seasoned and white colored. read more

Absolutely the worst Chinese food I have ever had. The chicken fried rice wasn't fried. It was an electric yellow color with flecks of boiled chicken tossed in. The dumplings had very little of a tasteless filling surrounded by thick chewy dough. The Kung Pao chicken had a few lumps of breading with a tiny lump of chicken inside mixed with some unknown veggies and a brown sauce with no flavor. I didn't find any pork in the moo shu pork, but that's okay because I decided to throw the food away. $48 for dinner for four, about $40 of it thrown into the garbage. read more

We went in for lunch and tried their selection of lunch menu items. My shrimp with lobster sauce was very good. They used big shrimp and a large helping of fried rice which had various veggies. All this for about $6 a plate. I would def recomend if you ate looking for a Chinese place with good selection, good prices, and good food. read more

Average Chinese take-out food. It is what it is; a Chinese take-out joint. Not a whole lot more to say about it. Prices are standard for Chinese take-out whether you are here in the Outer Banks, suburban Philadelphia, or Albuquerque. If you are hungry after a day at the beach, it will fill you up. Won't be the worst Chinese meal, but won't be the best either. This ain't Chinatown, San Francisco. read more

This is by far the worst chinese food I have ever eaten. Let me be the first to say I wasn't expecting 5 star dining but I was hoping run of the mill. My critique of this restaurant is solely based on the food and not the rule lady who operating the counter. We order General Tso's chicken and chicken/broccoli. I couldn't even taste or see any chicken in the General Tso's chicken it taste and looked more like batter fried chicken skin. And the chicken with broccoli was a funny color and also had a funny taste. Being right next to Food Lion it was really convenient to stop there but I will never ever go there again! read more

I can assure anyone who eats in this restaurant that they are not getting beef and are more than likely getting an animal that they would not want to eat. I ordered a dish with beef and Chinese vegetables and the meat was 100% not beef. I would encourage anyone who wants Chinese food to avoid this restaurant like the plague. read more

This place is to be avoided. They change baby diapers near or on the counter and then go into the kitchen and begin handling food. This place is very unsanitary. Metal shards have been found in the food. read more

Horrible service. They messed our order up 3 different times and offered no compensation. The woman was extremely rude and the food isn't even very good. The kitchen looked dirty and unsanitary. Needless to say we will never be ordering from there again. read more

The food is just okay but I am more annoyed at the shear cheapness of this establishment.... Ordered about $70 worth of take out food. The 'quart' size is really not a quart (much smaller). Not one soy sauce packet was put into our bag. Ordered about three meals off the special chef menu (which is about $12 average)....don't expect to get even a pint of white rice with any of them. Just think they are overly cheap and they think they can get away with it because there aren't too many Chinese food establishments in the area. If you like average Chinese food and like being ripped off ....then order from this place. read more

This is the worse Chinese food ever. Everything tasted unseasoned and burnt. The egg rolls had only shredded cabbage inside and had no taste whatsoever. After tasting some of my husband's horrible panzit and beef and vegetables I thought I would be safe with fries and fried chicken wings but I was wrong. The fries were dripping grease and had no salt and the chicken wings were fried so hard that you couldn't even bite into it. They didn't even give you any soy sauce or anything to try to make the food somewhat edible. Nor did they give you plasticware to eat with or napkins on a to go order. Awful, Awful, Awful. I felt sick to my stomach soon after eating a few bites. Take my advice and avoid this place. You will be thankful you did. read more

The food was very very salty. The staff was not polite. I had to return my food twice. They have no competition so they treat u anyway they want read more

We visit the Outer Banks once a year and every once in a while someone in our group wants Chinese food. We had been to this place a few years ago and i remember it being just ok. This time however the food was essentially awful. Not inedible because my brother-in-law and nephew both finished their meals but my cashew chicken wasn't getting the job done. The chicken was deep fried to the point of being tasteless, the cashews were hard & dry and the accompanying pork fried rice was also lacking taste (not to mention a lack of pork... counted about 7 small specks of pork in the rice). I'm not sure how good the other Chinese restaurants on OBX are but I have to believe they are better than this. If not, do yourself a favor and put your wonton cravings on hold until you go back to wherever home is and get a good meal from your favorite go to place. One final thing that my other nephew wanted me to note is that they use foam cups & containers - definitely not up to his recycling standards and the cause of one less star. read more

China King... ehhh... not even average Chinese. New china is better, a lot better. These people here were rude we went in at 9 they don't even close till 10 and he was rushing us, hurrying us up saying OK OK OK ANYTHING ELSE, then he told us it would be about 15 minutes we said okay and decided to sit down.. bad idea then the other Chinese guy kept mopping around us like what the world he went right next to our shoes trying to mop we were very frustrated if he would have got it on me I would have been ready to fight. Overall experience wasn't good. Won't return. China House was the best when it was open but heard they closed 7 months ago. So now the number 1 Chinese food is new china! They have a buffet! For less than $10!! read more

Totally disagree with cranky Tim.....love this place and excellent food! A little slow as it is all made to order....... Highly recommend! Dave.. read more

Awesome homestyle bean curd(fried bean burd). Awesome hunan chicken. cute girls. go there

Dropped in for a quick lunch. This place is a little restaurant in a strip center. Ordered sweet and sour chicken. It was tasteless and the breading around the chicken made it look like a lot of chicken but the breading was mostly hollow with small pieces of chicken inside. How do they do that? I ordered a bottled soda from the cooler and asked for a cup and ice. No cup, no ice. I asked a second time, thinking there was a communication failure with the Chinese lady behind the counter. No ice, no cup. Really? The service was so-so and the food was poor. That was the first and last visit to that restaurant. There was a TV on the wall but it wasn't on. read more

We stay over in KH two weeks every year and wanted to try some Chinese. The food was very good and my wife stated the fried dumplings were the best she's ever had. The place could be a little cleaner and the staff could be a little friendlier. read more
