To all who say negative things about this restaurant- get out of the aspen hill area. As a person who grew up here, this is the spot that I would look forward to going after my parents would get off of work late and wanted to make it up. I realize that perhaps my review might be based off of nostalgia, but genuinely, this place has been here for over 3 decades at this point. The place has survived the dc sniper shootings and two of the crazy FBI agents that decided to go on a rampage (IYKYK)- RIP Boston market. Years later, to this day, I sometimes make the drive down to this humble shopping center to relive some of my childhood memories and try some of the food that I loved so dearly as a child. Ok... so let's be real for a second. I kid you not, the restaurant has not changed one bit- and by that I mean the menu, the food, the interior, and the staff. I mean, it's still here for a reason, right?. It's a hidden gem- from the staff that screams out when you make an order, to the 90s sitting arrangement, to the big Chinese painting that's been the source of many of my dinner nights wondering if China actually looks like that, and the big mirror to look at yourself to make sure sauce didn't drip on your shirt. The food of preference- their crème de la cream- is the orange chicken (spicy), lo mein (any... but if you get anything other than the pork I'm judging you), and beef and broccoli. That's all you need. Nothing more nothing less. Of note, I saw a guy review the chicken wings from this place and rated it terribly.... First of all... can we just ask the obvious question here... who gets chicken wings from a Chinese restaurant? What a surprise it's not as good as wingstop.... Which I may add is literally down the road. I'd judge more a person who orders chicken wings from here than the chicken wings themselves! This place is meant to be enjoyed with people you care about- that's the secret. It's not fancy, it doesn't try to be anything else, it just is. And in the end that is what makes this a great restaurant. read more

$15.95 for a small chicken broccoli.... And the small was more like an extra small. For chicken... broccoli and white rice... need I say more? Leaving a 3 star because it was good but can't afford to go there again. read more

Good food. Convenient location. We got: Shrimp with broccoli w stir fry rice. Chicken chow mein w stir fry rice. Green Jade w white rice. 2 Spring rolls. read more

Food is good for take out. Staff is very friendly and they pay attention to requests.

Ordered takeout wings, and they were disgusting and smelled foul. The place is dirty I would never return.

Great place always the go to. Staff is very nice. Restaurant is clean and kept. Not to mention the food is always good and consistent.

Ordered for delivery and was pleased with the quality and quantity of food! Ordered sweet and sour chicken, which was delicious by the way. The shrimp lo mein was absolutely packed full of shrimp and very tasty. The crab rangoon are hot and creamy My only complaint was the mongolian beef: bland sauce and I swear they put an entire chopped onion in there! Tasted kinda meh unfortunately. Everything else was great, will definitely order again read more

There is no real ambiance at this restaurant. It's clean and neat period However the food is very good. The other night I was not feeling well and my Husband got me Wonton Soup and steamed dumplings. I had never had the Wonton Soup there before. I have to tell you it was the most delicious Wonton Soup EVER. Rich chicken broth and wontons stuffed with meat. The dumplings were great. My husband got himself an egg roll which was huge. He got the Hot and Sour Soup and liked it a lot. He also got Pork Mu Chou and will get 3 meals out of it. This is not a restaurant that has a pretty appearance to make you want to go in, but the food we got was awesome read more

Fast service, clean environment, good portions and good flavor. :) I would come here again. read more

All Food. Service and Ambiance are five Star. When one calls with a question or information very professionally handled. We love the food from China King in Silver Spring. read more

Food has been consistently good over the years but the last couple of years they have become very expensive and out of our price range

I've had better food from them before...but that said, as I came here to complain about the Kung Pao, I saw a picture of it, and sure enough that's what I got; 8 or 9 total ingredients, most of which was NOT chicken or peanuts. It's a whole lot of filler (mushrooms, carrots, celery, water chestnuts, giant cuts of green bell peppers, and baby corn? seriously?!?) all of which I've NEVER had in this dish ever, anywhere, in 50+ years. The kicker is that the 'sauce' was basically tasteless. All for $22! Absurd. The only thing that makes it a two star rating is that the egg rolls still rock. read more

This has always been my favorite restaurant in the area when I'm the mood for Chinese food hence the 3 stars .The quality has always been up to par but the quantity for $16.00 is seriously lacking . I placed an order last night (August 1st) for 4 wings with shrimp fried rice . Usually the rice is placed in a reusable bowl and the wings are placed separately in a foiled lined bag. On this visit both the rice and wings were placed in a large box , and this is where the quantity issue comes . The wings were the usual size no issue there but literally there was barely enough rice at the bottom for one serving. Being as the wings were packed in the same container as the rice it gave the illusion when buying a bag of chips , whereas the bag seems full but it mostly air at the top with a sprinkle of chips at the bottom. Only in this case I had 4 wings at the top with about 5-6 tablespoons of rice at the bottom. read more

Chicken wings - tastes like it was fried in oil that was used to fry everything else. I don't think they ever changed the oil. Horrible old taste. Egg drop soup - I could taste dish detergent. Green beans with beef - the beef was awful and rubbery, and the green beans were good. Steamed dumplings - pretty good. I will never purchase from here again. read more

Only good for their lunch special. I just got two of these large trays and 3 rolls for 42 bucks not even enough chicken. Just peanuts and veggies .. read more

China King - Where is the chicken? - Chinese Near Me - Silver Spring, Maryland

I come here fairly frequently and I usually really enjoy it. Today I got the steamed dumplings, hot and sour soup and seafood fried rice. The egg rolls were tasty. The hot and sour soup was bland, no highs or lows. The fried rice seafood was mushy and over cooked and had no egg. It also would have benefited from onion. read more

Local Chinese restaurant in Aspen Hill area. I have had consistent service call in orders as I have had bordering through Yelp/Grubhub. They have 100s of items on their menu. I really like the huge egg rolls and beef and vegetables dishes. There is something on the menu for everybody. Bon Apetit. read more

Every time I have eaten at China King the Staff has always been nice and Friendly! They take pride in the quality of their Food and are nicely proportioned. I always order the Chicken and Broccoli which is soooooooo delicious. read more

Not too happy about writing this review but I can't hold it. Hasn't anyone noticed the horrible smell that comes from this place the second you step in? I mean, we noticed this "backed up toilet smell" about 2 years ago and there was a notice saying the toilet was out of service. We still purchased the food and once in the car we noticed the same stinky smell coming out of our food and inundating my car. We came home, same thing, obviously. I ordered a beef and broccoli a week ago and all the same. Even when I took the leftovers to work next day I still could smell the sewage odor off of my food. I'm surprised no one else has noticed this issue. The place is nice and looks clean but something is way off. It is almost impossible to judge the food with that smell but before that "plumbing issue" took place the food and choices were great. And yes, paying almost $20 for a large beef and broccoli seems to be too expensive but we only have 3 choices in Aspen Hill. The high end looking one by Panera and the creepy ghetto looking one in Georgia ave where the Autozone and Advance auto parts stores are. read more

Ordered Kung po chicken, fried dumplings, and an egg roll. This the worst Chinese food I've ever had. The chicken was bland, the sauce was tasteless, and the dish was padded with veggies (See photo). It was a gruesome sight. The fried "dumplings" didn't resemble any foodstuff I've ever laid eyes on - it was only by the process of elimination that I was able figure out what they must be. Just for laughs, show the picture of the "dumpling" around and see if anyone can guess what it might be. Their sole saving grace was that they were crunchy - there was a dipping sauce included, a bland sweet and sour sauce complete with chunks of pineapple. I think the egg roll came from the Giant Hot Bar just before closing. I threw it all out it was so tasteless. The bag it came in was pretty delicious in comparison though. read more

Great wonton soup - best I've found in this area. Some of the other dishes I've had have been pretty good. I do stay away from their chicken dishes - the chicken has a rubbery consistency. My biggest problem with them is the outrageous increase in their prices. I know that food is more expensive and prices have gone up everywhere but their increase is exorbitant read more

This has been my go-to Chinese food place for YEARS, now can get delivered through Grubhub, order through Grubhub or call with your phone (yes talk to a human). They have these huge eggrolls, so good! Garlic Chicken has lots of flavor. Do not be afraid to kick up the spice on Kung Po Chicken. Ho Fun with pork or chicken is very good too, better than lo mien in my opinion. There you go just told you my perfect order :) read more

I'm very picky when it comes too Chinese food. First time getting Chinese food (carry out) from this place and it didn't disappoint me. I'll order a shrimp lo mein and eggrolls (shrimp). Go for it! read more

China King - Shrimp lo mein - Chinese Near Me - Silver Spring, Maryland

In my neighborhood, affordable, good food, and they deliver - what's not to love. It is not super-fancy food, but it is definitely better than your average Chinese carry out. Each dish (we tried: veggie lo mein, spring roll, egg roll, general tso chicken, kung pao beef, and szechuan string beans) had its own distinct (and good!) flavor. I tend to find quick carry-out places taste like they use the same base sauce so each dish tastes vaguely the same. Not so here. Warnings: The spring rolls are regular, slightly smaller versions of typical egg rolls; the egg rolls are HUGE. One egg roll I would say is the size of 2 average egg rolls. Also, the lo mein was fine, but our least favorite dish of the bunch. Highly recommend: kung pao dishes, loaded with veggies which I especially loved. read more

China King - Veggie lo mein, 2 spring rolls, general tso's chicken, kung pao beef, szechuan string beans - yum! - Chinese Near Me - Silver Spring, Maryland

This is my neighborhood Chinese spot and I totally vouch for it! I usually get the Shrimp Lo Mein or Shrimp and mixed veggies with the sauce on the side. Boyfriend really likes the Dragon and Phoenix and the General Tso chicken, extra spicy. They also make some killer veggie spring rolls. They're skinny and small though, so you may want to get at least two. Service is quick. Orders are usually ready within 10 minutes. read more

Order food a few days ago, this was the most horrible Chinese food I ever ate! The egg rolls were full of oil, they were soggy, simply disgusting read more

China King indeed, with royal prices. We ordered Shrimp fried rice, Combination fried rice, Beef and Broccoli special which included a massive egg roll, and Combinations Lo mein. I enjoyed everything except the Beef and Broccoli - it was very bland. The biggest issues I had was the price. I've never paid this much for Chinese take out. Was a little upset about the prices but the location explains the price. Good but too expensive to feed more than 2 ppl. read more

The food taste great. Everything I've tried was yummy. Not too much oil, if you like sugar in your food than you'll like this place. It is well balanced with their spices. My family of three usually orders delivery from them. The driver is pleasant and doesn't push you for a tip. Food comes out steaming (just make sure you ask for chopsticks and napkins, they won't automatically put it). They are the local Asian food spot and well worth the wait. Recommend you explore their menu, so much to choose from. I am a fan of general tso tofu and white rice to keep it simple. read more

China King - Simple snack but every ingredient in it is so tasty. My ultimate craving satisfied! Fried dumplings and happy sauce ~ - Chinese Near Me - Silver Spring, Maryland

Always very satisfied with them. Their egg rolls are huge. Orange chicken is the best.

People sleep on this place, but I'm telling you that this place is my go-to for Chinese. I guess to be fair, I only get 1 thing - the fried rice with 4 chicken wings. I LOVE the wings here. There's something about Chinese fried chicken that makes it so delicious, the breading isn't the typical flour-based coating as found in more southern-styles of fried chicken. The whole dish costs $12, but you get SO MUCH FOOD. It's enough to last two meals for me. You won't find this place driving by, you have to make the effort of going deep into the plaza if you want to discover this spot. But I think it's worth it. I've only gotten take out from here. But I've seen the interior many times while grabbing my meals. Nothing to write home about. The interior is very simple and it's clear that the restaurant doesn't care about the aesthetics at all, which is fine. If you couldn't guess, go and get the fried rice with 4 chicken wings. Top the wings off with some of the plum sauce that they have packets on packets of. You won't be disappointed! The only reason I give this place 4/5 is because the fried rice tends to be on the more oily side. But portion-wise and price-wise, 5/5. read more

High priced for bland food. Had the wonton soup and chicken lomein which came out really fast maybe 3 mins after ordering it. Questionable. Didn't taste that good even after adding some soy sauce read more

Our go-to delivery place... have ordered from here several times and haven't had any issues with incorrect orders. A little pricey, not exactly life-changing food, but perfect for some Chinese delivery. I just wish they had scallion pancakes! read more

My original review has disappeared. So here's another " I won't be going there any more.  The orange chicken - which my family has purchased several times - is typically hard, and dry,  as if it had been previously cooked and was served just to get rid of it for the night.   Tonight I made sure it was made fresh and tried something new involving jumbo shrimp.  This place is not inexpensive.  So, I want an experience that meets my expectations.  Too many of the shrimp were too mushy and soft as if not fully cooked.  While waiting for my order I had noticed that no one wore gloves - neither the cooks, nor the serving staff.  The cooks used their bare hands to put vegetables into the stir fry pan.  I didn't see them touching any of the food after it was cooked.   I called to let them know of my concern and we mutually agreed that I am not their customer.  I gave an additional star because the orange chicken was not hard and dry = as I had requested.  The problem may be that the cooks (none of whom wear gloves) are insufficiently focused on the resulting product.  So, I suggest that customers look over the counter and keep an eye on the preparation of your food and don't hesitate to bail out if you see questionable sanitary procedures. THEY DON''T WEAR GLOVES!!!!! NO ONE WEARS GLOVES!!!! read more

I love ordering food from this place. They are always fast and I never get the wrong food. Thank you china king you all do a awesome job of your food , and deliveries !!! read more

Speedy delivery. Ordered 3 dishes which were very tasty and I definitely will order from them again.

I'm never disappointed when I eat here or carry out, though the prices are a little higher then usual .. I always get the chicken wings and fried rice and the wings are huge and tasty . I always love hot and sour soup and their hot and sour soup is on point too! read more

Worst Chinese food... nasty, the customer service was bad, I pay 20% tics before my food was ready and they didn't bring my plate to the table knowing I was the only customer... I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE, I will never be back... and was really expensive read more

Small portions. Bland mostly. Ordered cashew shrimp and pork vegetable, okay but only 4 shrimp. High priced for food portion and taste.
