I'm on a mission around Baltimore this fall to find the city's best Yak, and China King's Shrimp Yat Gaw (aka "Dirty Yak") is definitely not it. If it's your only option, it's still a solid struggle meal for $11.49. The noodles were cooked just right, the chopped eggs and onions were well distributed, and there was plenty of tiny shrimp throughout. However, the sauce wasn't dirty enough for my taste, and the dish leaned almost too soup-like. At under $12, it's acceptable, but it falls slightly below average. Both Pimlico Carryout and China Express serve up a better bowl. Rating: 4/10 read more

Nothing wrong with the food. Good presentation. Just the General Tso's chicken was not very flavorful. Service wise, everything was good. Ambience wise, I cannot speak on it since this was a delivery order. read more

I purchased hunan shrimp , I don't know if because they were getting ready to close. My food was dry and had no taste at all . They could've just told me to come back tomorrow. Dint waste your money read more

Ordered the Bourbon Chicken lunch special. Worst I've ever had. By the time I got home, five minutes, not only was it cold and dry, the chicken was tough as well. Normally I'm one for giving local carry outs a second chance on the possibility of a bad day. That thought was dashed even if the food had been good once I realized I was made to pay when I ordered, everyone that came in after me payed when their order was ready. read more

I got the shrimp egg foo young. It's been years since I ate from here and I was in the area so I figured why not. The food was not what I remembered. No taste a little on the burned side to me. Won't be back dont recommend. read more

I used to like this place. the last 4 times I've had it, it has been horrible. I know you are saying " why you go back 4 times". I did because I kept giving them the benefit of the doubt. the food does not taste fresh. the meats are soggy. the amount of salt and or MSG that is in the food is unreal. seems like they are trying to kill us through hypertension. stay away . make your own food. this is not authentic Chinese food anyway. save yourself and don't spend there. read more

This used to be a cool place to order and get food from. The food was never "Oh my gosh!" great but it was "Hey cool. Not so bad. Worth it." But the last two times I've ordered from there, the food has been over cooked. Especially the fried crab cheese wontons. I've ordered them once a while back and they were cooked good. Not over cooked, tasted pretty good. The same with sweet and sour chicken. Although, I've ordered that more than the wontons because the sweet and sour chicken is my "go to" meal from there. Anyway, I've ordered the wontons twice since that first time and both times they were over cooked. I could eat one or two right after the orders were dropped off but after that? No. They got too hard to eat. Not to mention that there's barely anything inside of them now. I had to throw them away. The sweet and sour chicken I ordered was ok.....until the last two times I ordered it. That too was over cooked. The rice was ok. The chicken was so hard to eat that I just tossed it and ate the rice. This afternoon, I decided to give them one more chance. The pictures are from tonight's order. Someone else tried to eat one of the sweet and sour chicken I ordered and they also tried to eat the wontons I like did. Both the chicken and the wontons are just too hard to eat. That chicken is going into the garage as are the wontons after I post this review. The only thing that is ok to eat is the rice. (I would've taken a photo of my sweet and sour chicken but I just didn't think to until after I threw it away.) So.....no more food for me from this location. There's another Chinese place further down the road from them and that's where I will get my next Chinese food order from. read more

I was nowhere near my usual spot for Singapore rice noodles and happened to find this carryout via Maps in the area I was in. My noodles were tasty. And extra spicy as requested. However, I did not care for the Crab Rangoon I ordered. The filling was too sweet and it was a bit runny. Also, 1 of the guys came right up to the front of the restaurant and was wiping his nose with a tissue while looking at me. Afterwards, he just stuffed the tissue in his pocket and grabbed the tongs and started picking up food and tossing it into the fryer. That was a major turn off. Especially since he felt comfortable enough to do that in front of customers. I can only imagine the unsanitary things going on behind the scenes that we can't see. Yuck. Again, I enjoyed the noodles but that was my first and last time eating there. read more

Tried it because my 'usual' place closed. Someone mentioned it's greasy -- I don't get Chinese for it's healthy food! This is exactly what I was looking for on a Friday night-- a little greasy salty sweet saucy Chinese goodness, and China king was great. Knocked a star off because their General Tso is a bit too greasy for me and the sauce isn't what I'm used to (I like the dark ones) and the pancakes that come with MooShu pork are ... like wonton wrappers, just large and rectangular-- very very thin, so they get saturated and drip in seconds. Lomein was excellent-- even my toddler slurped it up. read more

One of the best Chinese food carryouts by far. Its hard to find quick quality service matched with great food. Not a place for sitting ambiance but for a quick ordered meal, it is a routine go to. read more

I wasn't expecting much but surprisingly, this place had above average food for a generic carry out Chinese restaurant. It's by no means gourmet, but the general Tsos combination plates was decent. The larger chicken pieces had a good amount of chicken in them, and the smaller pieces were mostly fried batter, but at least they had chicken pieces with a lot of chicken in them. It's also made to order, so the batter was still crispy even with the sauce, and the sauce was not bad either. The fried rice had a good tasting hot wok char flavor, it was fried at a high heat and you can taste it. The fried rice is definitely better than most Chinese places. All in all, a solid place to get carry out Chinese food for anywhere. read more

Not the worse but if you know of another place you can do it. I ordered shrimp fried rice and it was a 3. Shrimp was straight from a bag. Very blah. A nice guy answered the phone and waited on us. That was nice. read more

Average Chinese food. Greasy, and lacking some spice in the Kung pao chicken, but certainly edible. Extra star for portion size and quickness with online order. Shrimp egg roll seemed to lack shrimp, but otherwise not bad. Lo main order packed so full that even after two people took plate fulls, it was still over flowing out of the container. Ok value if your looking for quick, cheap, greasy Chinese. read more

I think this is one of the best Chinese carry out restaurants I have eaten from. I get the lunch special most of the time, and there have been a few other times where I have ordered from their regular menu. The food is fantastic. It tastes great and fresh. The delivery is always prompt, and the food gets here as hot and fresh as possible. Tastiest Chinese carry out in Pikesville! read more

I would hate to see the China this place is King of. The food here is consistently OK. Sometimes are better than others and a lot of the dishes just plain suck but if you get a few standbys (hunan beef for me) then this place is pretty damn edible. I know that doesn't sound like a glowing review but when you're paying 6 bux plus tacks for a container so well packed they have to staple it shut (really!) and egg roll (SODA EXTRA!) you can't be getting too picky. Three stars for being a cheapass Chinese joint that seems to follow the health code a little and for being edible. +1 star for not giving me MSG headaches. read more

I ordered from here on Grubhub tonight. They messed up my order ( missed an egg roll & didn't get mustard. I know this seems petty). I called and the manager had to call me back, no problem but he said it didn't charge me for the egg roll it it did. He was rude and I told him I would never order form there again so he hung up on me. The food is good but service not so much. read more

This is the second best Chinese place that delivers in the area besides the kosher one. I recommend sticking to only simple/classic dishes versus "chef's specialities". Also, there's a 40-50% chance that your food will not be as described or hoped for. Examples- Today I ordered the general tso shrimp and it wasn't so great. The sauce and shrimp were premixed leaving the battered shrimp mushy. There wasn't much broccoli and it was overcooked. The last time I ordered was about 3 weeks ago. It was #306 Shrimp with chili sauce. It was suppose to be shrimp, chili sauce, and broccoli. Instead of broccoli it was a ton of onion! Eww read more

I just called to order chicken wings and the lady that answered the phone yelled at me because I asked her two questions about menu items. Very bad customer service! I will never order their food!!! read more

I ordered the Scezwhan Bean Curd (tofu) and it was a real disappointment. The tofu was so bland and tasteless I almost brought it back. The lo mein was not very good either. My egg roll was okay.. but I would not order from this place again. read more

Food is decent but beware if you try their online ordering. After waiting for over an hour I called and they never saw the order! So two hours later I now get my food. read more

Always messing up orders delivery and pick up. Forgetting items and arguing about it. Food is just not that good to deal with them anymore. Never again ! read more

I think there food is pretty ok. it is my current Chinese spot that's close. I like their Singapore rice noodles, fried rice and egg foo young. the thing I don't like is they don't have spring rolls. they spring rolls they call spring rolls is just like a shrimp roll....not the same thing. but once they get a good spring roll, ill give them another star.... read more

By far the best Chinese food around and they deliver to Mt Washington! We have even ordered with our neighbors! We have ordered several times and are trying different items now. It's consistent and it's without a doubt that we highly recommend them! Great food for the price! Very reasonable. No place to sit, but delivery is the way to go! read more

The worst Chinese food experience ever! I placed the order for pick up Went and got it 30 min later The woman who handed me the food confirmed verbally what it was. Got home it was the wrong food. Called to tell her she could not understand for the lack of English. Put someone else on the phone 10 min later after attempting to explain that I was given the wrong food the driver picked up and said he would deliver the right order in15 min. An hour goes by still no food. Called again. I was told by the same woman very busy on the way. He finally shows up. Two hours after I originally placed the order ! With the wrong food!!! Asked me to give him the original food back and could not or would not understand why this order he gave me was incorrect. I asked him who the owner was He said just call the store I don't know. I did call back No one there has a good grasp of the language , which is ok under normal circumstances but when you are trying to explain what when wrong its impossible. They kept asking me to call back tomorrow and come in. For what? I have no idea. And it turns out the delivery guy does know the owner , he is his father. Unbelievable !!! Never Order from here. The place is a joke and you will not get the food you want. read more
