Food was average at best. Beef wasnt good quality and food lacked flavor. Rice was ok.

Possibly one of the most disgusting Chinese places I've had the displeasure of eating at! I ended up throwing half of it away! And that's saying some thing because I'm fat lmfao! The wontons were hard as a brick! And the sesame chicken was awful! About the only thing i enjoyed was the white rice! And when I went and asked for some sweet and sour sauce to make my wontons more edible the manager told me she would have to charge me for it! No thanks! I've wasted enough of my money! read more

This is an alright Chinese restaurant. I wouldn't say it's amazing, or horrible. It's just alright. It's also fast and convenient. I haven't been there in a while, because I know I can get better food elsewhere, but if I had to go back I wouldn't go kicking and screaming. It's alright. read more

Decent place for a decent price. Clean eating area, food comes quick and good service. The lunch combinations are very well done (main, rice, egg roll). I'd be interested to see what it's like for dinner. I'll be back. read more

China King - #9 combo general tso - Chinese Near Me - Sterling, Virginia

I have been coming here for more than 13 years now and always the the Chicken and Broccoli extra spicy with fried rice. This is the best Chinese I have ever had and will always come here for my Chinese fix! read more

Amazing food, always cooked fresh! I alwaya get the combination fried rice and it's always delicious!

Not sure what this place is serving. How do you mess up beef and broccoli? Wasted money. Eh--you win some, you lose some.

The taste is not as all other Chinese place like even panda express. This place is terrible. I ordered le mein and it was just boiled vegetable and macaroni without taste. We also ordered one kung pao chicken and it came salty, the chicken was raw and smelled and tasted like eating raw food. The order came with boiled rice. But we wanted fried rice. . Everything was terrible. Not recommended. I have to throw all left overs away. read more

Food is very reasonably priced. Nice and fresh. Friendly staff working. Ordered the Kung Pao combo. A lot of food for the money. Nice restaurant to visit. read more

This place is a hit with our family. Chicken fried rice, kung pao chicken, beef with broccoli, sweet and sour chicken, all the soups and egg rolls are always our goto. And for the wonton soup, the wontons are made in house. Always will recommend this place. read more

It is China New Year's so I thought I would try to be a little auspicious and eat noodles to ring in the year of the goat. I had Jia Jiang Mien and for $8.75 it was worth every cent. It was tasty, the meat and sauce were well seasoned and the noodles cooked just right. I've had better and have had much worse Jia Jiang Mien before and this ranks pretty high. It would have been better if they served their food on China plates and had better chopsticks but that's not what China King is all about. They keep their costs low and pass the low prices on to us, the customers. I'll go back and will try something else. The daily specials looked great and most guests were ordering one of the five specials. read more

Mediocre at best. Orange chicken lacked flavor. Counter staff and cooks yelling. Not a relaxing place to eat.

They make the most disgusting chicken corn soup.. tried two spoons and ended up throwing the rest ..tasted like crap..

Full disclosure I only order one thing from their menu, the beef and broccoli. I love it. I'm never disappointed by it. There is one cook in particular whose meal surpasses everyone else but I don't actually know which one it is. That said, there's an 80% chance I'm getting that beef and broccoli. It's still a delectable treat when it's not him but I can tel the difference in how well cooked the broccoli is and the even sauce distribution. I've come here for at least 15 years and it's pretty decent, fast Chinese. Definitely better than Panda Express, but not as good as Chengs (so sad it's gone). Their food is convenient, affordable, and always prepared quickly. I'll accept the higher grease count for the convenience. I definitely recommend this place for a quick meal, they have a pretty great lunch combo! read more

This place is extremely convenient for me (within walking distance). I usually get the Szechuan Chicken lunch special, reasonably priced at $6.15+tax. It's pretty awesome! Just the right amount of spicy! I would also recommend the Chicken Cashew (my go-to judging dish). The lady behind the counter seems like she always has something better to do though. Very rude sometimes. As their lunch special ends at 3 pm sharp, make sure you're there before then. A few months back, I mentioned over the phone at 3:01 that I would take my business elsewhere if I couldn't get the lunch special, and she laughed and hung up. read more

My step dad went to China King to pick up his takeout. He witnessed the chef use the broom to wipe the wall with a towel at the end of the broom. THEN he went on to wash that same towel in the wok he cooks in!!!!! THEN he went on to use that same wok to cook someone's food!!!!!!!! That. Is. Just. Nasty. read more

Yelp is worried that this review is too short. I'm sorry, but when the food is this bad, there just isn't much to say. Mediocrity reigns in this kingdom. read more

Food was ok not bad, not great. The egg rolls were my favorite. We ordered general tsos (below average) shrimp lo mein (below average) chicken and green beans (good). Cashier service was poor but can't expect too much also they don't deliver fyi. Overall not bad but will try a different Chinese spot around here first before going back. read more

My family and I have always been a fan of China King. I grew up in Reston so we always went to the original one in Herndon and were never disappointed. Hands down best Hot & Sour soup I've ever had since day 1 and their lunch specials are awesome. Glad to see they survived the whole Chinese buffet era and have actually expanded. read more

Too pricey for the quality of food they give you. They nickel and dime you for extra sauce packets. Not friendly at all - zero personalities. Unpleasant experience each time I go there. read more

Been coming here for years. The service is unfriendly yes, but I like their dishes and sauces. We never had an item missing, which I appreciate if you get take out, as you don't want to head home and realize you have to head out again because your order is not complete. They have a huge variety of dishes and the seating area and counter area is clean and organized. The dishes we like best are the four season chicken, orange chicken, beef and Brokkoli, fried rice, chicken Loi mein, black pepper beef and chicken Kong po. You get a good portion of food for your money, i like the fresh vegetables and the meat is always tender. read more

This is my favorite Chinese place and I have never had any stomach issues afterwards as the other reviewer indicated. I always get the Hot Pepper Chicken, which is more like what I expect of Kung Pao Chicken. The price is also right and it's conveniently located in the Cascades shopping center. There is plenty of space to eat indoors or outdoors. read more

Terrible! This is a poor excuse for Chinese food - stay away! The "fried rice" has nothing in it - just discolored rice - and is tasteless. The egg rolls are small and filled only with cabbage (cheap filler). The shrimp in the sweet and sour shrimp is non-existent - tiny shrimp with a huge pillow of greasy breading around. Had stomach issues the rest of the day after eating this junk! read more

Food was gross. Service was awful...would never eat here again not that we ate what we ordered in the first place. All 4 of us did not finish our plate and have stomach issues after waiting. My shrimp wasn't deveined or clean, food had no flavor, sauce was nasty and chicken tasted like liver, beef looked danty. Terrible experience and waste of money. We are vacationers and this one experience ruined our entire night to the point where we skipped our preplanned dessert spot. Skip this place and be kind to yourself and your digestive system. Horrible! read more

This place is pretty nice for a mainly take out Chinese restaurant. I've been here several times and the food has always been good. It's very clean inside and there is room to eat inside and outside. It's definitely worth a stop if you're searching for a take out place in the area. read more

Great food and friendly people. I always get the chicken fried rice - delicious and consistent. Haven't had any CFR better than China King's. Big portion and extremely reasonable price. Their spring rolls and fried dumplings are also good. read more

This is a good place. Fast and well priced. I like to order and then wait for my order by the kitchen door and watch them make it. Not because I think anything weird is going to happen but those guys are cooking!!! They work fast and it is interesting to watch. Food is good too. read more

This place is well-rounded .The food is inexpensive, it's good ,it's fast, either lunch or dinner at $5.85 .The best lunch place ever, you know you're going to spend six dollars every time ,if you have the self-serve free water. I have been here a countless amount of times and have never been disappointed whether it's the fast service ,the good tasting plentiful food or its price point ,I leave satisfied every time, I have these guys on speed dial picking up on the way to Leesburg whenever I go to Tyson's. Food is generally ready in 10 to 15 minutes tops when swamped .I wish I had that their business model. These guys have spoiled me to all other Chinese restaurant. They maintain consistency in taste is at all locations surprisingly. however the Herndon location always taste better although similar. read more

Came here on friend's recommendation. The food is cooked frresh. They have a good variety of dishes, all tasted excellent. The price is very reasonable too and clean environment. read more

See all

Place is average. Food is average. Food came out fast & very hot. Was not so great on taste. Could've been better. Came here from a recommendation. Wasn't bad for a try! Lot of food for the buck!! read more

I was quite disappointed with our meals this evening. We came about 6 months ago and I don't remember it being so bad. I ordered chicken with black bean sauce and the chicken was shredded (really, is chicken that expensive that it needs to be shredded?) with green peppers, celery (who puts celery in this dish?) and onions. It's a pretty basic Chinese dish, but the quality of the food was below par. The celery pieces tasted old, the chicken was just okay and the green peppers were peppers. I also tasted the other dish we ordered, triple delight. It was sweet for some reason which it shouldn't be. A couple of the beef pieces were so tough that we couldn't even eat them. Finally, we ordered shrimp lo mein. It also was sweet, which it also shouldn't be. This is not a good representation of real Chinese food, so don't go there unless you're desperate. I even had a stomach ache afterwards, yikes! read more

Always good food - friendly staff, too. Chow mein was excellent, as was beef fried rice. read more

Another in the Chain of local China Kings. I havent been to any of the others in years, so I cant compare. This one is small, but clean. I never eat there, always grab it for a quick take out dinner. The quality of the food varies from mediocre to good. Its never better or worse than that. Its definitely cheap and the portions are not to big or to small. read more

The people who work there are extremely rude, they take your order with such attitude and so unfriendly. I have personally given this place multiple chances but not anymore. Never placing an order from this place again! read more

I've gotten food here, in the evening, a few times. People were pleasant & the food was good every time.

i allways come here to eat it's very good .i usally get spicy combo fried rice was excellent.

All locations of China King offer the same thing: moderately priced unremarkable food. The Herndon location was the premiere one for years until their chef quit about 16 months ago. The new guy still hasn't caught up to his predecessor's sauce expertise. The Sterling location has always been the worst of the three, food-wise, but still a bargain if you're very hungry and in a hurry. Oops, now they've slowed down--a recent visit took 15 minutes to get a takeout order--so unless you've got plenty of time to waste on mediocre food, skip this place. Crown jewel location is Centreville Road. Chef knows his stuff and gets quality food out on time. You won't regret a visit here. The Szechuan chicken was to die for, and the won-ton soup, while on the bland side, was still an order of magnitude better than in Sterling. Go figure. read more

Edible but not good. I had general tso chicken. Rubbery outside and old chicken inside. Chicken wings were actually edible and freshly made but you have to wonder about what kind of grade of materials were used to make the food. I'd skip it. read more

I have been visiting this restaurant for almost fourteen years, the food is great and the manager Ms. Wendy is so nice and professional. She makes sure all the orders are prepared properly and the customers are happy. The food quality is great, portion size is perfect and more important, it's made fresh and tastes great! read more

OK. If you are like most and have gone to most Chinese restaurants in Northern VA, you will find Northern Chinese cooking to be the main style. I lived near this restaurant and have had the opportunity to dine here and do take out many times. Also, growing up in a country that is mainly Chinese, I had certain expectations when I first discovered it so long ago. I would have to say that this place used to be a bigger bang for the buck as well. Several years ago, they hired some new cooks that had no experience cooking this cuisine and you could tell. They've gotten better recently but the best days and consistent cooking are long gone. If you are hungry, their beef fried rice is still one of the better values on the menu as the quantity is always generous. I tend to stay away from the chef specials as I've tasted a lot better versions of those elsewhere. I have also tried the Spring Street location in Herndon and I have to say that for my favorites dishes, the Spring Street cooks seem to not quite get it right. I am sure that the Spring Street cooks have dishes that they do better than this one in Sterling. read more
