    Pretty typical chinese buffet. Not bad, but I wouldn't go out of my way for it.

    Fantastic restaurant with good prices. One of the best places to eat in Breese (or Carlyle).

    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.

    Man the food was amazing. No complains very fresh and tasty, the order was steaming hot when I got…read morethere

    We stopped at New Baden to have barbecue for lunch at A fine Swine and for some reason they were…read morenot open, regardless of their posted hours. We never did figure it out, but on the way back to I-64 we decided to have some Chinese at China King. Is China King a big chain? There is one with he same name in Kill Devil Hills, NC where we had just driven from. I suppose there are only so many words that they can find to put before or after China and a few are bound to be repeated. We both had chicken dishes. I will say the lunch portions are pretty large and modestly priced. I don't recall what exactly I had but Ms T had her usual Broccoli Chicken. I wanted plenty of vegetables, some chile heat and a sauce that was not sweet. So I told the lady that and that is what I got. I'm tired of accidentally getting the super sweet sauces and the battered, fried chicken and no vegetables. It is best to just ask. The food was OK and as I said, plentiful. But it was pretty bland and boring. Extra spicy was not spicy at all. The sauces were pretty light without much flavor. The vegetables were crisp and also generous. So, the food was not bad, just not remarkable. In a larger city, I would rate this two stars, but In New Baden with limited choices for Chinese, I guess I will round up to three.
