    Very plain fried rice. Had it twice and it only had rice and chicken. No veggies or egg…read more Crab Rangoon is very good.

    Good: Crab ragoon was good, hot and fresh. The steamed shrimp with vegetables was good. Shrimp…read morewere nice sized and cooked well. Bad: Egg roll was cold but tasted ok. Fried rice was yellow rice with some onions, very sad rice with no flavor at all. Hardly traditional fried rice. Was given a 25 minute estimate. Got there at 20 minutes and waited almost 30 more for my order. The huge tub of brown gravy they give you is ridiculously large for the amount needed for the entree and scalding hot temperature. The container it comes in has a lid that is impossible to remove without spilling the full sauce all over. There are no sauce packets out for you to grab like most Chinese take out places have and when the bag was handed to me all sealed up I assumed (wrongly) that they had thrown some sauces in. My bad for assuming. They did throw fortune cookies in. Ugly: The General Tso chicken was inedible. The unrecognizable chunks of "chicken" were so stringy and tough and full of cartridge more than half of them could not be eaten and had to be spit out. The sauce also had no heat (menu shows a spicy symbol) and really no flavor like traditional General Chicken you would expect. Our total order exceeded the amount ($21 before tax) listed on the menu for 3 free crab rangoon which I asked for when I ordered. When I got there they charged me for the rangoon but I didn't notice that until I got home. This is our 3rd disappointing visit in a row. I realize it's the only Chinese in town and everyone in Bethalto loves it but it's really sad that it doesn't live up to the hype.

No. & I'm glad, because I personally don't enjoy PF Chang's, lol. I often get beef fried rice, my husband loves the hot braise chicken. Crab Rangoon is delicious- be sure to get her homemade orange sauce for them! St Paul's are great. The sodas never taste right (maybe over carbonated?), if we are dining in I bring my own drink (& have for 14+ years lol). The place isn't as clean as I'd like, noticeable dust on fixtures and decor, and bathroom leaves a lot to be desired, but again, this isn't a fancy place & I admittedly don't mind because the food is great. Most of their service is carry out, but dine in & usable bathroom are available. Most of the booths are for 4 people, and there are 2 large tables in a middle area that could seat up to 6 each. Would be a good place for families with small children that get overwhelmed in busy establishments, as it's the opposite of busy for dine in (though you'll always see people in and out grabbing carry out). Overall a solid 4 stars from me & if it was cleaned up & soda / tea options it would probably be a 5 - for what it is - delicious, authentic, hole in the wall Chinese food. The owner is so sweet and cooks everything herself - she's there every time we go & prides herself on serving great Chinese food.

It has curry in it, just in case you're not into that. We had pork chow mein and the slabs of pork were great! Big chunks. Dark fried rice, St. Paul Sammy, pork egg rolls cooked to a perfect crisp. I really have 0 complaints. Everything was above average. This isn't 3 Michelins stars kind of good, but it's 5 Stars on Yelp good. I'm hard of hearing so I needed my wife to help hear the woman behind the counter. She was great! Very helpful and even threw an extra bag of crab Rangoon. What she didn't know is that's my wife's favorite and it was her birthday dinner. She just wanted Chinese take out from a new place. So off to Star we went and they couldn't have done it any better. I'm so glad we went and will definitely be back. Now... ambiance is EXACTLY what you'd want from a take out Chinese place. The door bell is perfect and you'll understand when you go! Just embrace it. They do! All in all, 5 China Stars, will return. Enjoy!

Curry chicken was great! Lots of chicken, could have used a few more pea pods, but nice and spicy, crisp veggies, really good. The chicken fried rice had a lot of chicken but was a little bland. Still good. I will get this again.

    I have tried multiple Chinese restaurants since moving to the Alton area and I keep coming back to…read moreChina King. It easily is my favorite. Every entree or appetizer I order, pleases my taste buds. There Crab Rangoon is the bomb. You get 8 big pieces, so if you're a single person, it easily can be a meal. I've added an Egg Roll to the order and presto, I've got a meal. Their Egg Rolls are crisp and crunchy. My favorite main dishes are; General Tso, Beef & Broccoli, Orange Chicken, Hot Pepper Chicken and Beef Fried Rice. Today, I'll add the St Paul Sandwich. When I first moved to the Eastside of the river, none of the Chinese restaurants offered a St. Paul. Just recently, China King added them to the menu and they're doing a fine job preparing them. Since moving over here and dining at China King, the staff has revolved and improved. Most speak broken English, but they can still take and get your order prepared correctly. They may not be personable and super friendly, but your food will be delicious.

My husbands chicken was decent! The price did seem a bit high compared to menu prices, but not so outrageous I questioned it too much, but worth noting here. I'd have given this 4 star if cheaper, but the value and taste overall, solid decent 3 star chinese food.

My order for the evening was; Beef & Broccoli with Fried Rice. I also had, Crab Rangoon (4) and an Egg Roll. The egg roll was super crisp and filling was packed tight. I loved the crunch when I bit into it. The crab rangoon pockets were filled with the creamy sauce and fried to a soft golden color. The Beef and Broccoli was a nice change from my typical order of General Tso. The beef and broccoli was tossed in a rich beef sauce and also had sliced carrots. Both veggies were prepared to the point where they were soft, but still had a good snap. The beef was super, super tender. There was so much sauce, I scooped some it over the fried rice for extra flavor. The staff is super perky. They all said, hello and welcome when I entered the restaurant. Even the cooks, greeted me. I like how you can see into the kitchen from the ordering counter, it is super clean and that makes me feel good. I pass two other Chinese restaurants on my way to Hong Kong House, but it is worth the drive. They have an app for ordering and rewards and I'll be downloading it, very soon.

I've never dined in, always carry out. It's always been hard to get through on the phone, competing with other customers wanting to place a take out order, and tonight, our first time since they opened again, was no exception. We got through about 10 min after we starting trying, place our order and we were told 30-35 min. It was indeed done in 30 min. There is some confusion with the menu and ordering items. We couldn't find an updated menu online, the ones on here and Google were outdated. We picked up a menu while there - it's extensive & not super organized, the General Tso isn't under chicken but rather another section, which was somewhat confusing - probably just because it's such a lengthy menu. We also ordered 4 fortune cookies and the lady said they only sell 10 at a time, which is weird because they are on the menu for 20 cents each, nothing noting only orders of 10. Oh well, we will eat them eventually lol! The bottom line on the food - husband said the general Tso was delicious! The egg rolls were very fresh, crab Rangoon really good but the edges not as crispy as I'd prefer, they might have sat for a bit (but still good, and I'm sure even better super fresh!). The beef fried rice was really good. The homemade sweet & sour is a must! It comes in a huge container, we weren't sure so we ordered 2 and it was way too much - you only need one for several people unless your drinking it.
