My wife said she had found positive reviews for this restaurant and a staff member at the business…read morewe were visiting gave it a thumbs up so we gave it a try. We each ordered different entrees, but both of us found our meals to be inedible and left our soups and plates largely untouched. As if this wasn't enough of an indication what we felt about our food, the server offered us carryout boxes which we declined. In this situation, I believe most restaurants would ask why we hadn't eaten our meals and might even offer a price reduction. Nothing of the sort at China Pavilion, so a $40 lesson about where not to eat in Taylorville!

Love this restaurant, we try to stop every time we drive through Taylorville. The owners are…read moreincredibly nice and the egg rolls are to die for! They melt in your mouth, the peanut butter chicken is also very good. This restaurant breads their entrees differently and in a good way. They set themselves apart from boring Americanized versions of Chinese cuisine, stop in and you will experience great service and a wonderful meal.

The Restaurant itself looks rundown, there is dirt all over the warming lamp possibly dripping in the food. I had one plate and had enough of the food already. Food was not tasting good, most of the food was cold. We went to pay and I overheard a conversation with an employee on the phone with a customer being absolutely disrespectful.

We decided to stop in China King for a sitdown meal on a recent road trip and are happy we did…read more There's a good amount of seating both tables and booths. We sat down and a waitress came to us for our drink orders and our food order. She was friendly, helpful and attentive throughout the meal, refilling drinks, and asking if we needed anything. Our food came out quickly. It was hot. It was fresh and it tasted good. Two people in our family ordered the general Tao and we really liked the sauce. The crab Rangoon's were a nice size with a good amount of filling. Overall we were very happy with our meal and left satisfied.

If you haven't tried the Crazy Salmon Roll from China King, you haven't lived yet. Seriously --…read moreit's that good. Fresh, rich salmon wrapped in a perfect balance of flavor and texture that hits every craving you didn't even know you had. The place itself is always clean, the staff is friendly, and the food comes out fast and piping hot. You can tell they care about quality -- everything from the sushi to the moo goo gai pan is spot-on. But that Crazy Salmon Roll? That's next-level. I've eaten sushi all over, and somehow this little spot in Vandalia nailed it better than most big-city places. Do yourself a favor: skip the usual, order the Crazy Salmon Roll, and thank me later. You haven't truly lived until you've had one.

Food's a 3/5; nothing remotely special. Basically the grading criteria here is go for Panda Express…read morewith a drink an egg roll and 3 dishes for 15.00 USD ...or come here and have slightly better Chinese food, with Alot more options with a drink for 18.00 USD out the door. And if you are making 6 figures a year the no brainer food costs saving measures is to just eat one meal a day a the China Buffett for 5 days during the weekdays, and you're all set for greater inflation savings. Other than that, staff members get a 5/5 for courteous and quick service. And the location gets a 5/5 because there's an actual truck stop next door, and this is definitely a good meal stop for truck drivers.

This one is exactly like all those used to be, right down to the exact same staple of standard offerings they all seemed to have. So you can imagine the nostalgic excitement upon running into this place on a road trip. One price includes all the food and a fountain drink. The food is endless and all the dishes are good. Think along the lines of Panda Express quality. Relaxed atmosphere good for kids. If you are a young family in effingham you need to add this place to your rotation.
