I had the Phoenix, and it was delicious. Great family owned and operated establishment.

You can't really find many places that have vegan food. They were able to accommodate my needs. It's a family owned place, and I did see many local people getting takeout. I had the Kung Pao tofu and hubby Shrimp Lo Mein noodles. The portions were generous, especially for the price. Taste wise, it was OK. Both dishes had carrots and celery as veggies, so that was odd. It looked too me like they go the cheapest way. I definitely had better Chinese food, but again, there isn't much to choose from in Manistique. Staff was not the friendliest. Keep in mind that there is a minimum of $30 if you want to pay with a card. read more

We order takeout often- great food every time! Many have mentioned large portions- we really DO get 2-3 meals from each order. Prices are very reasonable. read more

We came here for lunch. My husband and I could have shared an entree. They give very generous portions. I got the Szechuan chicken and he got the General Tsos chicken. My kids shared sweet and sour chicken with white rice. We all shared an order of cheese wonton. My husband wasn't a fan of the fried rice but I thought it was just fine. My kids liked their food. The food came out piping hot. The veggies on the Szechuan chicken were cooked perfectly. The sauce wasn't my favorite flavor. I enjoyed the General Tsos sauce more than mine. read more

This Chinese restaurant is amazing -- the food is super delicious, and the atmosphere feels so warm and cozy. Definitely a must-visit spot if you're traveling up north in Michigan! read more

Food was very delicious ..But customer service was very rude and disrespectful ..I tried to be nice but wow she was a very rude person

oh my, we normally order from this restaurant. Yesterday we ordered two orders of Mongolian beef with potstickers. The Mongolian beef was actually not edible. Whatever meat they used was so full of grizzle and fat my pallet just wouldn't allow me to swallow it. Most likely we are not returning. It's too bad because it was our favorite Chinese restaurant. read more

they were so rude.. kind of a dump so you would think that they would be nice to compensate. but no they were VERY rude, what ever you do don't ask what is in something they will loose it. if I could leave 0 stars I would avoid at all cost read more

We ordered take out and it was ready on time and order was correct. Overall good American Chinese food. Portions were huge. Sesame chicken, chicken & broccoli, crab rangoons were all good and would order again. Egg rolls were meh. They have certain days it's cash only.. just plan ahead and bring cash to avoid a headache. read more

Fantastic food and service they make the most delicious vegetable dishes and I really love the dragon Phoenix and crab wontons. Friendly and fan service and a nice family owned restaurant recommended highly read more

Great food and I liked how efficient their service was. Posted clearly that it's cash only on Weekends. Will definitely recommend and be back. read more

Beware if you're paying with card there is a $30 minimum! I'm not from the area so I walked in not having a clue. I placed my order over the phone so you'd think they would've mentioned that when they told me my total. The staff were a little rude but were nice enough to make an exception as I didn't have enough cash with me. The food was simple but delicious, your typical American Chinese fare. I had the Sweet and Sour Chicken with white rice. The portions are enough for 2 people with some leftover. I'd say the portions and the quality are fair for the prices they charge. read more

Absolutely fantastic. I stopped in here late afternoon on a cold day, hoping to find some good food (which I have found quite challenging in the Upper Peninsula), and good it was. I ordered a curry chicken and some crab rangoons, and the prices were not bad, actually better than most other places, about $12 USD for the curry and $6 USD for six rangoons. The restaurant was very cute inside, a handful of tables and a restroom, situated in the middle of downtown Manistique, very cute. I didn't eat in though, I ordered takeout, which was very efficient! The person taking my order was very kind, and told me it would be about 10 minutes for takeout! Nowhere else is that fast. When I sat down and ate my food about ten minutes later, it was still piping hot, and the portion was massive! Easily enough for two people to share, even the rice was good sized. The curry was amazing, actually spicy, which isn't common at most places, and incredibly flavorful. The rangoons were average, and paired with the sweet and sour they provided were a nice addition to the meal. It was very nice to have some actually good food in the UP, let alone Chinese-American food as well. If your in the area and looking for a great place to eat, go here, you will not be disappointed. read more

China King - Chicken Curry, Sweet and Sour Sauce. - Chinese Near Me - Manistique, Michigan

Misunderstood the sweet and sour shrimp to have the normal ingredients of pineapple chunks and green peppers. Did not like the overly sweet sauce served in a cup with tiny baby shrimp overly battered. The egg rolls were so hard and dry that even cutting with a knife was difficult. We didn't eat them. Their children were dining on dessert and playing video game on iPad loudly on middle table. I put earplugs in. read more

Very friendly. Good, fast Chinese food with a super welcoming atmosphere. While we were eating, the owner came out and gave us slices of watermelon for free, and hugged another patron who seemed to be a regular. read more

Be ware if paying with a credit card!!! They will add more to you bill when passing the charges through!! We ALWAYS order the same thing & have NEVER been charged the same amount! We have had as much as $12+ extra dollars added to our fees!! Be wate & check your charges. We just caught on & will be done with this place read more

This is truly the hole in the wall restaurant complete with bad service, bad food, and bad attitude of the owner.

Its hard to find an asian place when you are in Upper Michigan. You cannot even find fast food chains so you could imagine spotting an asian restaurant. We were visiting the kitchi iti kipi clear lake and was craving for some asian food. Luckily theres only this ONE place in whole town and even neighbouring towns to be honest. The people who work there are owners, where very friendly. The food was very good for a remote location as such. We ordered Kung pao chicken, General Tso and Chicken fried rice. All were good. The quantity are huge and prices are pretty decent. Would def recomment to visit this place if you are visiting Upper Michigan. read more

This was just your run-of-the-mill Chinese restaurant. Nothing unique or wonderful, but like most Chinese cuisine it was good overall. When we walked in it seemed the family-owners and their kids were enjoying their lunch; they scattered out of the dining room to the back, but they did not need to. It would have felt less awkward had they just stayed seated enjoying their lunch. The signs on the door encouraged masks required and we even came back the next day because we did not have our masks with us initially, but we witnessed at least 4 takeout orders where people entered sans mask and they were still provided service. We dined in (masks on) ordering two appetizers (wontons and dumplings) and two lunch combos. Hit the spot. Street and behind building parking available. read more

food good and stuff but it was this little girl taking our order and she was so rude but it was other ppl that came in and she was nice to them aka im black and the people who came in was white so yeah read more

Fast service, nice people and huge portion size - overall, it was an ok'ish take out for a Saturday night during our short stay at Manistique, MI. The flavor on the house special lo-mein was a little underwhelming for my taste but I enjoyed the sweet and sour soup. My wife had the Szechuan shrimp which she enjoyed. In general, very few dining options are available at Manistique - this place is one of the better ones. read more

Always consistent Chinese American food. Lovely family running the place. Our most frequent take out since moving to Manistique this summer.

Excellent New York style Chinese food. Drove 40 miles from Munising and was pleasantly surprised. Highly recommend the Chicken with Black bean sauce and the Chicken Lomein. The Sesame Chicken was good too as well as the Mixed Vegeables with Tofu. We even got a carryout order to go after we ate so we could eat it the next day....Not much Asian food in the U.P. read more

This is probably my favorite Chinese restaurant in Michigan. Tucked away in an inconspicuous building on Cedar St., This services up a real taste of their culture and also Americanized versions, a treat for your particular affinity in tastes. The deep fried pieces are not heavily battered, not greasy but crisp morsels, and there is not a taste of overused oil left clinging to the batter. Can't wait for summertime each year so I can indulge my cravings while I am up here, only a 45 minute drive for me to be rewarded during the summer. I try to eat here at least twice a week for the 5 months we are here. read more

We were camping in the area and came here for lunch one day. Pretty standard Chinese menu, but the prices were decent. I got the Kung Po Chicken and was surprised at the amount of chicken. It wasn't a few pieces hidden under some soggy stir-fry. My wife got something; I don't remember. But, she's of that ethnicity and found her food to be very good! The lady behind the counter was super polite, and we were in and out in about a half hour. Small, nice, and clean restaurant. read more

Having made several visits to my hometown over the years, our must have was always the pizza next door. We had known this restaurant was next door for a long time, but never tried it. Today the family was hungry for Chinese. All I have to say is "WOW." We ate dinner tonight and nobody could finish what they ordered. This restaurant has now been moved up to the must have while in town. read more

Coming into town late on a Wednesday night, we wanted some hot food that was better quality than fast food. The China King had great service and delicious food. The Vegetable Mix was fresh and the vegetables were perfectly cooked. Lots of chicken in the Chicken with Mixed Vegetables. Excellent sauce too! The spring rolls were crispy and delicious. A great find. We will stop in again. read more

Very good food! Excellent service. I really love their lunch combos great price for lots of food!

Wow - who would have guessed that we would find amazing Chinese in the UP. HUGE portions - enough for 2 meals. The General Tsos was delicious with a good amount of heat, the Happy Family was great - but the steamed dumplings- so many and they were delicious! Highly recommend checking it out. read more

Fabulous food n humble hosts!! We took a detour just to visit this restaurant again and it was worth it! read more

So impressed! While camping in the area we stumbled upon this restaurant for dinner. The prices were very reasonable the portions were huge plus all the food was fresh and delicious! I loved the tofu with veggies homestyle and others enjoyed the Dragon & Phoenix, shrimp w/ veg, & happy family, too. There is complimentary hot tea and the family running the restaurant is friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended! read more

China King had above average customer service. I had a nice conversation with the cook and cashier both genuine and kind people. The food was good not great. The fried rice is very good. The general Tso's chicken was mediocre at best. read more

Was traveling though Manistique and decided to give them a try. The service was quick and the food was good. I will be back.

Family and I came to Manistique to visit Kitch-iti-kipi (Big Spring). We wanted Chinese food and just came upon China King on the main drag through town. This is a casual, very small (6 tables) restaurant. We were there after 7pm on a Sunday and were the only eat-in diners but 3-4 people came for take-out while we were there. The menu is extensive, with the typical choices you expect to see in a Chinese restaurant. We had Kung pao chicken, cashew chicken, chicken Lo mein, hot and sour soup and won ton soup. Al of the food was delicious! Not only was it good, each dish had its own distinct flavor (I've eaten at several Chinese restaurants where all the food tastes pretty much the same!). Portions are generous, and each of our dinners came with a large freshly-fried egg roll. I took nearly half my dinner to go because it was more than I could eat. Self-serve Hot tea and iced sweet tea are available for free. The kitchen looks larger than the dining area and is partly open to the dining area. Even though the kitchen is big, it appeared to be just the wife and husband doing everything, from greeting, serving and cooking. They save costs by using plastic utensils (though we were offered real silverware), and food is served in "to-go" containers whether you eat in or take out. We didn't care about this though because the food was so good and the entire restaurant (including the bathroom) was exceptionally clean. Even though they were being frugal with the lack of real plates, on the way out the door, there was a sign next to a bin of sauces inviting us to help ourselves to any extra sauces. The entire emphasis here was on cleanliness and good food and for that reason I give it 5 stars. We weren't looking for a fancy restaurant, just good food and we found it here! read more

Love this place! It's a family business and they really give you large portions for your food and for a cheap price! The food comes out hot and delicious. The only reason why it has 4 stars is cause they ran out of tofu but luckily the portions are so big that both my husband and I were able to split one meal. Highly recommend this place! read more

The food was phenomenal! We are in town visiting and we're looking for a good restaurant. We saw the other Yelp reviews and thought we would give it a shot! The vegetables were all really fresh and tasted delicious. The staff was very nice and it appeared that it was a family run business. Great customer service and amazing fresh food are definitely the reason that I am giving this review five stars. We got Szechuan beef, vegetable lo mein, general tso's chicken, and chicken and vegetables. We shared all of the dishes and were really pleased. read more

Wow! I love discovering a gem in our travels... Excellent food, no msg, clean restaurant. Nothing fancy, just a great meal at a good price. There is plastic tableware on the tables, but if you want "real" silverware, there is a plastic container full on a table in the Dining room, along with complimentary hot tea :) read more
