The homemade DanDan noodles were our favorite, which are served with ground pork in a spicy peanut sauce. We also got the three cup chicken which was so good, with a sweet, licorice-like glaze. Some other favorites were the black pepper chicken and the long hot chicken, if you enjoy spice. We had the ginger and scallion dish and was not our favorite, as the chicken had a unique consistency and was quite limp. Overall, good service and a relaxing ambiance in a bustling city.

The inside is fairly basic but not in a cheap way. Service was a bit slower due to how busy they were, but it wasn't bad. The dishes that come out of the kitchen look like they could be served in an upscale restaurant. My orange chicken was great, but you do need to order rice separately. My husband's beef and onion had a LOT of onion, and much of it was still on the plate when he finished. He enjoyed it though. One of my sons ordered a chicken dish that was just a large plate of chicken pieces with nothing else, not even a sauce. We both thought it was too dry and boring. My second son had lo mein though and really liked it. The scallion pancakes were also some of the best I've had in a long time. They were thick and not too greasy with a crisp outside and soft center. I just wish they had more scallions/flavor. The prices were higher than what we are used to, but they're probably in line or even lower end for a big city. Four of us ate for $100.

Service was so quick we were able to make it to our next appointment on time. Bathroom rating: 4.5/5

(Note: if you only want smaller serving of their great, thick noodles, order $4 add-on as a side in place of rice with regular dish.) I always have leftovers to enjoy at home. Dumpling orders are large and shareable. (Always 6 or 8 pieces.) My fave when dining in is amazingly delicious and huge Fish Fillet in Hot and Sour Cabbage Broth. (That's best with rice side to help absorb broth.) So good and healthful to balance the dough density of whatever dumplings you might also order -- they're all great. When getting order to go (or delivered) I like Kung Pao Chicken; it travels well. Order added green veggie dish for sharing -- I lean toward Chinese Broccoli; you'll really want the balance with the delicious dumpling and noodle dishes. Large cocktail menu -- Lychee Martini is so refreshing. Important: cash only for dining in. There's an ATM by their front door. Takeout and delivery accepts credit cards. Most reasonably priced parking nearby (if you don't score a limited street spot) is ParkAmerica at 1040 Race St a few doors down.

I just get a feeling that the focus is on pushing alcoholic drinks rather than on the food. The pork buns felt like they were previously frozen and were very sweet. Shrimp dumplings tasted off. Service was never the star but it wasn't so dismissive either. Just a very bad experience and while I won't go back, I also don't want to rate them 1 star as that would be unfair. Their food now is no better than the next guy and that's disappointing. Cash only btw. I write this because they do not post signs and a couple tables had to go grab cash from their ATM machine.

However, I found that the meal didn't live up to what I remembered at the UCity Han Dynasty or the Sichuan food I've had at other spots. My partner and I ordered the dan dan noodles and double cooked pork belly to share, our longtime regular order. The portions were generous and prices were affordable, but both dishes fell short in some ways. The dan dan noodle sauce was mostly sesame-based with little of the chili heat I remembered, and there was only a bit of the ground pork topping. It left me wondering whether they hold off on the spice at this location due to the clientele, whether they changed the recipe, or whether it was just an off day. The pork in the double cooked pork was overcooked and tough, and the dish didn't have enough of the veggie components (leeks and peppers) to balance it out. Another minor nitpick - there was a World Cup game going on while we ate and the multiple downstairs TVs had the game on. The second floor where we were seated also had a nice big TV, yet it seemed to be left on a screensaver slideshow of random landscape photos. Would have been nice to watch the game! I was overall left feeling pretty meh about the meal. I'd give the UCity location another shot, but don't think I'd come back to the Old City one.

For a while I was in search of a Chinese takeout that provided the best chicken and broccoli. If you order this dish at most Chinese takeout restaurants they give you "chicken" and because of the taste it leaves you wondering whether you truly had the real thing. At China King, their chicken taste like chicken!! With the chicken and broccoli you get your choice of either brown sauce or white sauce. Did I mention I love a place that gives you (the consumer) options?! I've had it both ways and I enjoy both sauces but in recent times find myself deferring more to towards the white sauce and I add a bit of soy sauce. It's so delicious! Their egg drop soup is delicious and packed with egg. Did i mention that their eggs taste like real eggs here?! I enjoy their egg foo young and get mine mixed with shrimp and chicken. A photo wouldn't do much justice, taste far better! Also, China King has the BEST wonton soup out of any Chinese takeout restaurant I've been to. Most places give you more noodle than meat filling. But their wontons are packed with meat! You can actually get full off their wonton soup. I love that they allow me to add broccoli to mine. I love having a little green veggie mixed in with my wonton. I like to call my order in and it's always ready by the time i get there so there's hardly ever a wait time.

We started off with the steam juicy buns in our case soup dumplings , next we had to shui mai and the dish that we did make adjustments to was the tofu mushroom bok choy instead of tofu we asked them to put in beef, leaving everything else the way it is intended and a wound up being an outstanding dish. Hence we recommended the owners to consider adding a beef mushroom bok choy dish to the menu.
