Wow! I was not expecting how great this place was. I just thought it would be ok. But it was really amazing. I tried the sweet and sour chicken, chicken low main, and crab ragoon. The sauce and the chicken on the sweet and sour chicken was awesome! So good! Well worth stopping by! Not only that but the service was incredible. They came by and asked us how we liked it. Just really genuine. I'm glad we stopped here. My boyfriend was telling me about this place. I am gonna come back for sure. read more

This could go into a list of weird restaurants. I walked in, and there were 2 women also ordering. A partial menu is on the wall behind the counter. The full menu is at the cashier. I looked for vegetarian options, cause I often prefer the vegetarian food offered instead of meat. There were about 6 or 7 vegetarian options, and a fried rice containing mixed vegetables. I order water chestnuts and snow peas. The server quietly replied, after several seconds, "We are out of snow peas." It was 4:30. I then ordered steamed broccoli and white rice. The server said, "I think we have enough broccoli." I also ordered crab rangoon...crab, I know, but there's not much crab in a crab ragoon, and I'm not a vegetarian, just lean that way. I ordered iced tea, which she gave me a styrofoam 16 ounce glass. I went to put iced tea in the glass and realized that the soda was poured either out of liters or cans.The iced tea was in a Tupperwear pitcher in the soda refrigerator. I had to ask, and the server, after a few seconds, said, "It's there." "Where?" I asked. She pointed to the refrigerator. I poured a glass of iced tea, and sat in a booth. There's plenty of booths and tables. It was clean and bright. They bought me the crab ragoon, and they were really good. It had sweet and sour sauce with it. They were so hot I couldn't eat them (heatwise). Then they bought by entree. I looked at it. I could've made it at home. It looked like they used 1/2 a stock of broccoli. It was clearly fresh broccoli. It was sauteed in soy sauce, which tasted like Kinkman's. The broccoli was very hot. There was alot of it, half of which I took home and ate later. The rice was white rice. That was it. Nothing exciting. I could've made it at home but didn't have time to cook last night. I do alot of things in Lee's Summit and I doubt I'll be back to China King. It's a little further east than 291. They have oodles of meat options. Just I thought what I ordered was kind of boring, and it's too far for me to do take out. read more

Best Chinese in Lees Summit!! Always fast and delicious! We have tried several things on the menu and it has always been fantastic! Good price for the portions, lots of variety. Best Crab Rangoon I've ever had! Only reason it is not 5 stars is they do not accept credit/debit cards since the lockdown, so it's not always convenient to make sure I have the cash on me to cover it. read more

First time I stopped into this restaurant. Clean bright staff very polite Food not bad. I had one of the lunch special and it was so much I didn't eat dinner. I would stop in the place again read more

Great food. Great service. Non stop customers. Signs of a popular restaurant!General Tso 's Chicken

Being from NJ it was really never hard to find good Chinese take out. At least not in the town I grew up in (Fair Lawn) so when my wife and I moved out here to Lees Summit 9 years ago one of the first things we needed to do was find good Chinese. We tried every spot in the area with no luck. We thought we would never find anything as good as home until today! We stumbled upon China King because we moved closer to it. Of course not purposely. The food is just like one of my favorite Chinese take outs back home. Everything is amazing. So far we have been back twice in a 24 hour period. The wonton soup is the best in Kansas City. Can't wait to try more of the items on their menu. read more

Love this Chinese restaurant. It's very fresh, the fried rice is amazing, everything is fresh. Have never had a bad meal here. My best girl and I are regulars, and they provide consistently delicious food. My preference is the Curry Chicken with extra curry, the veggies are perfectly stir fried and crispy but cooked. Their customer service is very good even while they're busy. They know what you like when you frequent their establishment. They greet everyone when they enter. They're happy to see you. We eat in every time, they don't have a soda fountain but have individual cans 20oz bottles and 2l bottles. They provide ice and cups, so we get a 2l it's cheaper and we just take what we don't drink home. read more

You get a lot for your money and it's quick. Don't bag in the place for being cash only. Do you want them to pass the charge fee along to customer like most places do now? I enjoy several items on menu. read more

Wonderful Asian food !! The service is fast and they make your food as you order. The workers there are nice but may seem to be a bit abrupt. It's a small restaurant but has some tables to dine in. Pickup is available but no delivery. A must try !!! read more

Note: they only take cash. Which I think we all agree is annoying. I'm sure it has to do with credit companies beating jerks and charge them fees too high or they just realized they do better with just cash transactions... So 4.5 stars is what I would probably rate it for that reason. But I'm from NY, I miss Chinese food all the time in 9 years I have finally found stop i might actually enjoy ; the whole meal took me home. I got the lunch combo sesame chicken and fried rice with an extra order of crab Rangoon -cause crab Rangoon! Just try it. read more

Used to be better, but service and food is slipping. Hot & Sour soup is bland, and I soled my shoes with the rubbery "chicken on a stick". The portions are good, but the flavor is missing. read more

The people giving this place 5 stars are either biased, on drugs, or haven't wandered past Todd George Rd. to explore the numerous other second-rate chinese options in this great town. Even by Lee's Summit standards, this place isn't very good. Nothing is terrible or gross, it's just weird. All of the sauces in the 4-5 different entrees I've tried were a strange orange-red color with an unidentifiable orange-red flavor. No MSG of course. The fried rice isn't anything like any fried rice at any other chinese restaurant, anywhere. It's as if it was boiled in soy sauce then thrown around in a wok for a few seconds. Unlike pretty much every other fried rice anywhere, this version doesn't have the bits of egg and vegetables. Weird brown rice. The crab rangoon are definitely not the best crab rangoon anywhere, and they're not even crab rangoon. They're sugared cream cheese wontons, without even a hint of crab. It's cheap, and you get what you pay for. read more

Finding a good Chinese restaurant is no easy task. My neighbors said good things about this "down the street" spot, though skeptical, I went with no expectations because you never know about hole-in-the-wall places like these. However, this place hit it out of the park. Service: friendly staff, nice and willing to make you what you want, even if it's not on the menu. Atmosphere: Lots of parking, lots of seating, overall clean yet typical "hole-in-the-wall" kind of a place. Love it. Food: AMAZING. I asked for tofu and broccoli off the menu and it was PEFECT - crispy and plentiful tofu with perfect sauce and broccoli. Really, really prefect. Husband got a Broccoli Delight - a beef, chicken, and shrimp, meal, and ate it all up. Value: TOP NOTCH. For only $14 we had plenty of food and plenty to take home for another meal in the near future. Doesn't get better than that. (Does not accept Amex). Hen hao chi! Xie xie ni, zhongguo wang! read more

I adore this place so much. I have been coming here for the last seven years and it hasn't changed for me. I would order from China King every other week when I was a resident in Lee's Summit and I have sinced moved to a neighboring town. My "usuals" have changed over the years but they always seem to remember my order and how I like it even though I only make it out there once every couple of months now. The staff is very friendly. If you're willing to forego atmosphere and opt for good, fresh food you can't get any better than this. (2/8/2015) I feel like it's my duty to update my review every couple of years because I love this place so much. Tastes the same as it always has and I've now officially been going out of my way to come here for 11 years. Haven't found anything better! read more

Best Chinese food we've tried in the area. Fast, very cheap, and big portions. Shrimp with garlic sauce, beef with broccoli, and general tso's chicken were all great. Husband and kids said the crab Rangoon were the best ever. Will def be back. read more

I remember the first time that Rotten Tomatoes steered me wrong...Source Code. 93% or something on Rotten Tomatoes, and it was perhaps the worst movie I have ever seen. I mean, come on, how do you make Jeffrey Wright and Vera Farmiga look like bad actors yet make Gyllenhaal look, comparatively, like an award candidate? I was bamboozled by a site I had always trusted before and always trusted since...it was just that one movie that I apparently was in the mass minority about. But I digress... Well, that's how I now feel about Yelp when it comes to China King. I had a craving for some Chinese food in the LS area, and with a rating of 4.5 off of 5 reviews at the time, I figured China King was the place to go! Unfortunately, it was simply the most average, boring Americanized Chinese I've ever had. Ordered a Mongolian Beef and a Twice Cooked Pork. Both were...just plain, boring, and seriously lacking on taste. They don't use MSG, which would be an easy place to point the blame versus other KC area Chinese restaurants...except, I've had phenomenal Chinese tons of times without MSG. So, it was just blah for some other reason. The Mongolian Beef was too heavy on the white onions instead of the green onions. The beef just tasted...funny. It lacked most of the flavor of Mongolian Beef, which is one of my favorite Chinese dishes. The twice cooked pork was a bit better...the pork pieces were quite large and came in a decent quantity. The pork itself tasted much better than the beef, and I preferred this dish, but it still wasn't anything special by any means. They were really, really heavy on the cabbage and it kind of over powered both the taste and texture of the whole dish. In whole, the menu is a who's who of generic Chinese dishes...nothing unusual, nothing inventive, nothing out of the ordinary. I really kind of wanted to go off menu and get something more traditional (since I travel to China several times a year and love the food there), but I felt like the staff was too busy in the kitchen to help me pick something off-menu...I felt rushed - "choose a number off the menu and choose it now". That isn't to say the staff was rude, but they clearly seemed in a time crunch. The servings were large (so I had plenty of leftovers for a few meals to come), the prices seemed fair, and it was quick. But in the end, you come to a restaurant for the food...and, unfortunately, the food lacked. read more

A little pricy, but always delicious. Never had a bad meal. If you do take-out, check your order. We've been shorted two times. Even though they have problems when they are busy. ... still my favorite Chinese. Even though the have some issues, the food makes up for it. read more

Yummy food and fast service! Super convenient and love that it's next to the dollar general.

Always Hot, Fresh, Fast, Great good! Best Chinese food in lees summit. Great value for your $ Large portions. read more

I drive from Blue Springs to Lee's Summit because this place is better than any other Chinese restaurant there. Decent size portions for what you pay too. read more

Well I am a sucker for cheap Chinese food and this place takes the prize. Consistently delicious for the seven years plus that I've been eating at China King. as previously mentioned in other reviews my only negative on the place is I don't think I'd ever sit down and eat in their rather sparsely decorated dining room that and the plastic utensils. When it comes to ordering Chinese food they're the first on my list every single time. My favorite: mushroom chicken with fried rice and crab Rangoon. read more

Meh. Bog-standard Chinese. I blame the milieu more than the proprietors. Look for other options if you can.

Hole in the wall, next to Marcos Hot and sour, so -so Egg rolls taste like they came from the same kitchen as many other small Chinese restaurants Had chicken Szechuan - not bad, just right amount of "heat" read more

Small space, but great Chinese food. If only they delivered! This is the best Chinese food in Lee's Summit. They also have a great lunch special. This place is a must try and is much better than any other Chinese in town. read more

My husband hates Chinese so I don't get it often, but when I do it's from here. Local and ready quick, my go tos are the chicken fried rice or beef and broccoli with egg drop soup or crab Rangoon. I wish there were more krispy noodles with the soup, but it's so good!! read more

I have been on a quest to find the best Chinese restaurant for Hunan Chicken and Szechuan Chicken. Work work work. China King is the best for my tastes. Both are only moderately spicy and simply delicious. My only negatives are plastic spoons, forks, and plates etc. That, and this place is a hole in the wall with 90% of their business is carry out. Bring a sweater as they keep the temperature in this place cool. read more

Not really about the food but they do cash only. You can place an order online that charges your card...it then gets refunded and they want you to pay cash only once you get there. Nowhere on their site does it say cash only. What business can't setup a basic card machine? Had to drive back home and get cash and they tried to give me the same cold food. No thank you. read more

Read lots of reviews to find a new Chinese's restaurant and this one holds true. Love everything we have tried and the different sizes available at an excellent price. There are places closer to us, but this one is worth the extra drive. read more

Great food! They are fast, delicious, and accurate!! Love their General Tso chicken. Wonderful little place. People are very nice there.

Great place for a quick eat.. I enjoy the Roast Pork fried. I always ask them to make it spicy and they accommodate.

I love this place! My family and I love Chinese food and this has some of the best around. They're friendly and decently priced. We've tried a few other places and this is definitely our first choice every time. read more

Ordered this for dinner and I was very disappointed. I had the cashew shrimp and there was way too much celery and carrots. Also, I requested it spicy and it was not. Our family also had an order of shrimp fried rice that was very bland. The chicken and broccoli was meh. I will not be ordering from here again. read more

We are so fortunate to have this wonderful Chinese restaurant, and food so close to our home The setting is small and cozy, and those who work there are welcoming and friendly. The choices are many and the portions are really generous, and most times are enough for a second meal. And if you are wanting take-out, call in and they will have it waiting for you when you arrive. We have never been disappointed with anything we have ordered at China King. read more

Is it brilliant? No. Is it very good, typical Chinese-American fare, served at a good price and fast? Yes.

Best cashew chicken EVER! Steam dumplings are amazing and the garlic soy sauce you dip them in is also delish! Crabragoons are a must have

Im from Chicago, so I'm used to great Chinese food. This place is the only place the satisfies my Chinese cravings since I've moved here. I love Shrimp Egg Foo Young(I don't think many Kansas Citians know what that is) It's not what I'm used to but it does the job. Great friendly and fast service are a plus too.Recommend. read more

This place is fabulous! Everything was fresh fresh free! It all came out very quickly as well. Price was good too! I'm definitely coming back! read more

This is your average, run of the mill Chinese joint. If you're looking for solid, reasonably priced Chinese takeout than this is your place. The food was solid but nothing really jumps out a me. Their menu is more extensive than some I've seen. read more

I'm a very picky eater and I don't eat meat or poultry unless I've prepared it myself. This restaurant is the exception. Excellent food with regards to quality and taste. They even have a kids menu with both Chinese and American entrees. My son loves their chicken nuggets and french fries. And their Chinese Donuts are absolutely sinful. It is a family run business and they couldn't be nicer. read more

Usually I enjoy the food here. The last few times I haven't. Ordered food there tonight giving them one more shot. They were busy I understand that but don't quote me 20 minutes if it's going to take 55 minutes. Then I asked for extra sauce for my chicken. Tastes like they gave me watered down barbecue sauce. Also when I ask for and pay extra for fried rice I'd like to get it. If you're going to order to go from here check your bag before you leave and make you got what you ordered. Think I'll drive out to Blue Springs to get my Chinese food from China One from now on. read more
