China King - 37. House Special Mei Fun 49. Sweet & Sour Chicken 69. General Tso's Chicken - Chinese Near Me - Rochester, Minnesota

Pretty Good food. My husband thinks the Sesame Chicken is better than others. Very Generous Servings. Convenient.

This without a doubt the best chinese restaurant in Rochester. We moved to Lacrosse and have not found any place that compares to China King. We will get take out when we pass through on our way home. read more

great customer service and great food and good desert options and great tea great vibe

Our go to Chinese. Always delicious and consistent. This is our "what should we have for supper?" Option.

China King is my absolute favorite Chinese restaurant in Rochester and I've tried several others. Food is always hot and fresh and customer service is A+ They don't have a big selection at their lunch buffet but I've never went there and was not satisfied! read more

Take out. It was good with fresh ingredients and ok portions. We had Curry Chicken and Sesame Chicken lunch special

Went in for some quick takeout around 2pm on a weekend. The place was completely empty with three workers seated at a table, eating on their lunch break. I felt a little guilty interrupting them, but one younger gentleman got up right away and took my order, smiling and being extremely courteous. They seem genuinely happy to have your business. Service was great. In no time, he had my order ready (sesame chicken lunch special). The rice was very fresh and the chicken was of good quality for takeout chinese. It also came with a drink and 2 crab rangoons for a very affordable price (it was under 10$). I probably had enough food to stretch into 2 meals. I would have no problem recommending this place for Chinese takeout, and that's where the 4 star review lies. You can eat in, but the restaurant itself is very generic looking and nothing to get excited about. read more

China King - Sesame chicken lunch special - Chinese Near Me - Rochester, Minnesota

In Rochester, there aren't many "authentic" Chinese restaurants, but there sure are a lot of these quick take out places. Of the handful that I've been to in Rochester, I've found that the general quality as well as quantity of food you get at China King is probably the best. China King serves everything in Styrofoam containers and you have the choice of either dining in or take out. If you choose to dine in, you go up to the counter, place your order, & then sit down & they'll bring out your food to your table. The staff there is extremely friendly and always serves you with a smile. Their lunch specials give you a ridiculous amount of food and it's generally delicious. Their lunch special is an entree, veggie fried rice or white rice, 2 crab rangoons, and choice of either soup (wonton, hot & sour, egg drop) or a soft drink. Most of their lunch specials come out to $6.60 with tax & I usually drop the rest of the change in their "tip jar." Their general tso's chicken is quite delicious, as they give you large chunks of chicken that's been lightly breaded & fried & tossed in their sauce. Their hunan chicken is also quite good as well as their house special mei fun & house special lo mein. I haven't really strayed too far from these staples, but I'm pretty sure that most things on their menu are decent (for Rochester). I recommend this place over the others for a good, quick, takeout style "Chinese" food in a town that's not really known for it's Chinese food for the friendly, quick service, quantity of food given, as well as the general taste. read more

See all

Okay, so... I walked in for the lunch buffet. The place was kind of empty, only two tables were full. When I finally sat down with my plate of food, I thought of Spirit Airlines. They cut out or slim down on every perk. China King is the same, BUT the essential part, the food is better than other Chinese buffets. First, the buffet options are few (just one buffet section here), but the food freshness is great. Second, I shook my head when I had to take a styrofoam plate and plastic spoons for this dine-in experience. That's why they lost a star. That's it. read more

Just yuck. The sauces tasted fine, we had sesame chicken, sweet and sour chicken and steamed dumplings. Food was plentiful, but beyond that it only deserves a 1. First, the dumplings were really rubbery and meat was like a rock. The sesame chicken looked fine at first, but as we got into it, we discovered half of it was just breaded dough, no chicken inside at all. The broccoli was good though, seemed fresh and not cooked until mush. The sweet and sour chicken was mostly breading with small tough pieces of chicken. We tried both the egg roll and the crab rangoon that came with the meals. The crab was weirdly sweet, like they added sugar because they were using fake crab, because crab is mildly sweet, but not that sweet, lol. The egg roll was average at best, nothing remarkable. When I went to pick it up, it was very nicely packaged up, but the restaurant was completely empty, not even someone else picking up an order. Now I know why. read more

Good lunch buffet, good take-out. Nothing on the menu or that we ate that blew us away, but it was all tasty and fresh. The first time we visited, we got some food to go; the employees were very friendly and prompt, and we saw the cook begin on our order as soon as we placed it. We ate some in the restaurant, then took the rest home. We were not disappointed in the slightest with any of the items, and seeing as Rochester is a small market, we don't have many other options. The second time we came through, we tried the lunch buffet. This was a lot of fun; buffets are generally a good time. There was a variety of freshly cooked entrees, sides, rices, and noodles, and nothing was bad. My wife and I really enjoyed the vegetable lo mein and the sesame chicken. The sugared donuts are always a treat, and these were not too shabby. The only thing I'd ask from the restaurant is some permanent dishes. Everything was styrofoam, even at the buffet, which we thought was odd. The buffet table wasn't huge, but there were more than enough choices to fill a couple of heaping plates and to satisfy the hungriest of consumers. The price is unbeatable, and the drink is included. Conveniently located, can get other shopping done at the same time, and not too busy. read more

We had read in other reviews how this was such a good place but not fancy. That is an understatement. We did not envision how casual they were. We ordered from a wall and ate with plastic and styrofoam. The reals were delivered in to go boxes and we were eating in. We ordered from the daily specials. Neither were very good. Probably my fried rice was the best part. I ordered hot tea and never got anything to drink. We will not return. read more

Worst sweet and sour chicken ever. Fried balls of dough (raw dough in middle) with little or no chicken. Many pieces had no chicken in it at all. Very disappointing. read more

My husband and I tried the lunch buffet this afternoon, and we loved it! First off, it is only $6.75 per person and that includes a fountain drink of your choice. Not a huge variety of different dishes, but all of the food tasted very fresh. Some of my favorites today were the sautéed green beans, peppered chicken, and the crab rangoon's. Customer service is always very good here and all of the staff were friendly. The lunch hour seemed very busy with many people eating the buffet while the staff kept up with replenishing the food! read more

This is your typical take-out Chinese food. The King Po dishes are nice and spicy. read more

It's cheap and tastes pretty average for a styrofoam box take out place. I like their orange chicken well enough. The portions are also really big. Sometimes when I go the chicken is all chewy dark meat and that's a disappointment when that happens. On the plus side they accept credit cards, have Pepsi products, and has a large seating area. They're easily the best value for Chinese food in town, even if taste is lacking somewhat read more

China King - The orange chicken after I finished eating. Easily enough food for 2-3 meals. - Chinese Near Me - Rochester, Minnesota

This place was my go to chinese take out for about a year. The quality was inconsistent, but it was at least decent. This year, however, they seem to have taken a dive in quality. In particular, the last two times I ate there, my food tasted very different from what I had originally become accustomed to, and my stomach got very upset. These times were spread apart over a few months, so I dont think it was just a bad batch. I always try to give places the benefit of the doubt, so usually one case of food poisoning wont put me off...but it seems to be the new normal there and I cant see myself ever going back there to eat. Really disappointed. read more

I eat lunch here weekly. $6 for the entree, rice, soup, and 2 crab rangoon. Cant go wront! read more

Place is affordable but... the worst most bland fried rice I've Ever had. Otherwise it's a generic affordable Chinese take out

Ordered chicken curry and egg rolls. The curry was incredibly slimy and so were the chicken pieces! And the egg rolls were not fully cooked! This is a restaurant I would definitely avoid visiting in the future. read more

Good hot wok cooked food and portions. We eat take out here regularly. Egg Foo Young is done right!

Huge portion of good Chinese food. I had the triple delight which was true to its name . Nice staff and ample parking made this an easy lunch choice. read more

A friend of my husband's introduced him to this place a couple months ago and we've probably ordered out from them at least once a week since then. Huge portions for ~$8. The fried rice is ah-may-zing. read more

Really good food and service. The food was delicious and fresh. The service was friendly and fast. I not a big Chinese food fan but this place was delicious and I will be back for more. My husband also loved the food. read more

Delicious food and fast service. I'm not a big Chinese food fan but this food was delicious. Maybe some of the vest restaurant food ever. Will definitely be back read more

Order from here often and needless to say this place never disappoints. I would even argue that is by far the best Chinese take out in Rochester. The curry chicken and Szechuan chicken dinner combinations are my go-to choices but I have also tried their pepper steak as well. Prices are pretty standard but also affordable. Do yourself a favor and give this place a try. read more

I love this place I always order the Hunan beef extra spicy with noodles. I've tried all of the other places around town and so far none can beat this place. read more

Not a fan. The yellow flavorless fried rice doesn't do it for me.

My family has been eating at China King ever since we discovered it about three years ago. We have eaten at several other Chinese restaurants over the years, and this by far serves the most flavorful and freshest foods. Their garlic green beans are always crunchy. They have recently introduced a lunch bar (7 days a week!) which is really good. It's small--just one hot table--but offers about 14-15 different items (estimate) and because it is small the food is refreshed often, much superior to other Chinese buffets. It's also inexpensive; two people can eat and drink for about $14. With that said, there are some caveats. The atmosphere is diner/dive, a fun place to eat with friends but not a good first date or anniversary restaurant! And the food is served in styrofoam take-out containers, the forks are plastic (I keep meaning to bring my own fork, but I always forget). Nonetheless, in spite of these issues, we keep going back and recommending it to friends. read more

We have been going here for about 2 years now. It's our go-to place for Chinese food in Rochester. We have tried almost all of what Rochester has to offer in this department but this place is the place to go, clean, friendly, and fast! Great food for great value! Would recommend to anyone. read more

I have to admit, the food I have ordered from here is normally good. This time I decided to try their fried rice and the meat in the rice was HORRIBLE! It said it was chicken but it was very gray, slimy, and no flavor what so ever! Yuck. I can get over the rice, no big deal, but every time we go they ALWAYS miss at least 1 thing. First it was our egg rolls. We decided to give them another chance and again forgot something. This time a whole meal! I'm done giving them chances... I'd rather eat Chinese from hyvee read more
