Fried Dumplings
I. S.

5 stars, I got pickup today and the food was ready within 15 minutes. I ordered Hot and Sour soup, Wonton Soup, Shrimp Toast, Fried dumplings, and General Tso's chicken combination platter. -The General Tso's chicken was delicious, perfectly fried chicken, and was a lot of chicken for $8. -The Wonton and Hot and Sour soup were great, there Hot and Soup is always good. -The shrimp toast was OK. It could have been more shrimp filling. -Both the egg roll and shrimp tasted good. -Finally, the fried dumplings were flavorful, and you get a huge portion for $6. Overall, the food is priced and a good value, and the portion sizes are large. ***Overall, I Highly recommend this place.

China king is one of the best chinese food takeouts in my neighborhood. Everything i had tried over the years of living here has been great!!! General tso's is the best thing on their menu that they make but they also have the best egg rolls and chicken lomein. I do reccomend stopping here to eat lunch or dinner you wont be disappointed. My whole family enjoys this place and we give it 2 thumbs up ^ l

Just went here for a quick lunch break and the prices are quite reasonable for their portions. I've gotten a large egg drop soup and shrimp in chili sauce. Now the egg drop soup had wayyyy too much corn starch and had a jello like surface which it scared me into not drinking it however, it isn't runny and has a good amount of eggs in it. My mistake was getting shrimp in chili sauce. Oh my lord, it did not come out as what I had hoped it would be. It looks like a bunch of minced onions and baby shrimp had been thrown in a ketchup like sauce and drowned in it. Honestly, I would like to come back and try another dish because it was a mistake on my behalf for trying something ridiculous.

Freshest broccoli I've tasted at a take out. And that chicken is tender!

This is strictly for the food quality and pricing. Chinese take out is a funny thing, it's almost territorial. You go to the take out closest to you and that's it, good or bad, it's your home base. This is probably why it took me so long to finally try this place out. I used to drive my niece to Northeast high school and pass by China King all the times but never stopped by. Tonight I happen to be waiting on a group of friends near China King. I was really hungry and I had 30 minutes to waste so I decided to eat here. Oh man! What a great decision. First of all, let's be clear that we are only reviewing the food. While I was waiting for my food, I overheard how they were taking orders on the phone and "phew!" Haha. Anyways, I had chicken broccoli and hot and sour soup. The tab came out to be like 8 bucks. 6 for the entree and 2 for the soup. The broccoli were super fresh. It tasted like it went straight from the garden to the wok! The chicken was tender, not dry or tasted like frost bite from old storage. The rice was spanking hot and the portion was huge! It's easily the largest small size I've gotten from a take out. The soup was also food and big enough for two people. I couldn't even finish and had to take the rest home. The freshest take out place I've been to in the Northeast. Don't expect great service (it's a takeout) and you will not be disappointed in any way.

General Tso's Chicken is the best!

Great Chinese takeout in the area! Must try! The food is fresh and tasty, and they serve in large portion with less price!

Good food. But asking to take something out of a dish is impossible. We ordered delivery, so not sure what the place looks like.

Came here on a whim and am I happy I did…read more Ordered their Specialty Combo D which came with a half cluster crab, several large shrimp, corn, broccoli, and potatoes. Options for sauce was a mix of Cajun and garlic butter with a heat level of mild. I also got the crab meat fried rice and an order of hush puppies. It took roughly about 15-20 minutes for the crab meat fried rice to come out, shortly followed by the boil mix. The rice was cook to perfection. It wasn't oily, vegetables were cook tender, and there was a nice portion of crab meat throughout the rice. It was plenty for two to three people, if not four. The boil mix upon initial look didn't seem like a hearty portion but it truly is. The crab legs were cook to the point you could crack the shell and pull the crab meat out without struggle. It made for dipping in the Cajun garlic butter sauce enjoyable. The shrimp were plump, large, deheaded and cleaned. It didn't take much to pull the remaining shell off. The side vegetables that cone with the boil were cook to tender perfection. All and all, what a surprise to find while in the search for a seafood boil meal. I wasn't expecting for the food to be as tasty as it was since this places didn't have many or any customers upon my arrival. The outside doesn't scream come in and eat here, neither does the inside. But my experience wasn't based on looks it was the product they are putting out and that's delicious seafood. Quick inviting service from walking through the door until walking out. Prices seem in line with other restaurants I've been too that sell similar dishes. I definitely would give them another go to make sure it wasn't a fluke of a first experience.

The blue crabs were over-seasoned with garlic, and I just asked for Old Bay Maryland Style. If you…read morelike heavily seasoned crabs, you may like it.

The meal started with some bruschetta , followed by a basket of bread and seasoned olive oil , on the house. Our party of 4 shared 3 appetizers and two entrees. The portions were substantial and everything was fresh and well prepared. We started with the delicious grilled calamari , served with fresh tomato, red onion , capers and arugula; superb. We had the marinated artichoke hearts with cheese and truffle oil, and the fig carpaccio , both very good. For entrees we shared the Bronzino, filleted at the table , and the linguini with fresh seafood. Our server, Alina , was so helpful, making great recommendations upon request, as well as extremely personable and responsive. This restaurant was definitely a cut above what's typical for this price range and in this area. I look forward to returning soon.

We waited close to an hour for our entrees while the restaurant continued to fill up. With a hungry toddler, the long delay made it difficult to enjoy the visit. After waiting so long, we ultimately asked to have our food packed to go because staying any longer wasn't practical for our family. We also noticed that several nearby tables appeared to receive their entrees before we did, despite arriving after us, which left us feeling overlooked. As Asian and Puerto Rican customers, this made us wonder whether we were being treated differently. We can't know for certain what caused the delay, but the experience left us feeling unwelcome and overshadowed what should have been an enjoyable meal. (Edit: the food that we took home was delicious and beautifully presented but couldn't overshadow the service and unwelcoming presence)

Firstly, I was confused when I drove onto the block and saw another named business at the address. I found on street parking on the side street & called the number advertised across the business. I was advised they were the same business but had a name revision. The entry was toward the rear of the building. There are 2 steps to navigate for those that may have any mobility challenges. The first thing you see is a spacious open area that has several booths along the wall & an opening to the main dining area that houses the beverage area and numerous tables & booths looking out onto the street. There are mounted televisions surrounding the room & music playing in the background. The Servers are professional, pleasantly inviting and friendly. The food smells & tastes heavenly & the combination platters are savory, seasoned to perfection & very plentiful. My combination platters had shrimp, whiting and fries & were so heavy I couldn't believe it. The value was amazing for the amount of food you received. The seafood offerings were great by the pound. This is a place you will want to return for many more days to enjoy over & over.

The vibe…read morewas chill and welcoming as soon as I walked in, nothing too fancy but still really nice and comfortable. The staff were super friendly and checked in just enough without being annoying. The food was the best part for sure. Everything tasted fresh and actually well-seasoned, especially the seafood. You can tell it's not just thrown together--it had that real Mediterranean flavor. The portions were good too, I definitely left full. There's also a nice variety on the menu, so it's easy to find something you'll like. Overall, it's a really solid spot. If you're into seafood or just want something different with good flavor, I'd definitely recommend it. I'd go back for sure.

We were looking to try a different restaurant this weekend, and decided to try Seven Seas…read more We started with a yummy roasted eggplant remoulade with tomato. I put it on the fresh pita and it was an excellent starter. We ordered the Caesar Salad - it was very good - fresh, green leafy lettuce - crispy croutons, a sprinkling of grated cheese, and a delicious dressing. Next up, the Crab Bisque. I lived in Maryland for 30 years and had crab bisque many, many times. This was the first crab bisque that wasn't tomato based - it was a brownish, creamy version. It was more like chowder - although when I looked up 'bisque', it most certainly can be creamy. I might have been fine with the 'creamy version', but it lacked any crab flavor and had no crab in it - not one shred. I've never had any fish soup that had no fish in it. I took a few spoonfuls and left it. My partner tried it and came to the same conclusion. The entrees came next - I got the Seared Branzino and my partner got the Shrimp and Scallops. The Seared Branzino was okay - there were bites where I had a very fishy taste - and it was a very small piece of fish. My partner's Shrimp and Scallops came with steamed garlic spinach and mashed potatoes. The Scallops were tender and cooked perfectly - they were in a delicious sauce and had a very nice sear. However, the Shrimp were tough and chewy - we were both very surprised to have one item (scallops) so good, and another (shrimp) on the same plate, that was so bad. The steamed garlic spinach and mashed potatoes were very good. While our Caesar salad, Scallops and side dishes were very good, the rest of the meal was lacking.

(or oregano whichever one they use lol). But when they get it right, it's amazing. Unless i have an absolutely unacceptable experience (hopefully I don't jinx myself) I will continue to be a regular.
