I was on my way to go grocery shopping when I felt a little peckish. So I decided to get a small snack from Chowking. I love their siopao asado. It was just the right size to chase away my pangs of hunger. I loved it. It is very reasonably priced as well. Service was fast, friendly and efficient. Will definitely be back for more siopao. read more

Decent choice if you're not in the mood for the traditional "turo turo" aka point-point style options elsewhere in the food court. This is a popular fast food chain in the Philippines that serves fried chicken with Filipino and Chinese-inspired dishes. The chicken meals are generous platters. The FRIED CHICKEN and GARLIC CHICKEN are crispy, but sometimes dry and overdone. Side option of LUMPIANG SHANGHAI (egg rolls) is standard. Chow mein is decent, but fried rice is horribly bland. By far, the best dim sum choices are also available to-go, frozen and in bulk quantities, easily reheated in the microwave. ASADO SIOPAO are steamed buns with sweetened pork filling. SIOMAI are offered fried or steamed, but the latter is highly preferred. Service is generally friendly, but wait can sometimes be lengthy. On my last visit, I ordered 2 combo meals and it took almost 15 minutes; definitely not within the expected "fast" food timeframe. Location is inside Seafood City on Woodley & Nordhoff. read more

Person taking my order did not repeat back the order I gave her. And I have to say, I didn't ask her to repeat. After I got the bill, that's when I saw that we had a misunderstanding. I'm thinking, never mind, I'll give the extra food to my kids. When I got home, I have the wrong amount of food. I know it's my fault I didn't check but I was the first but I was in a rush to get out and I was the only customer there!!!!! My order number was 1! It's not worth it for me to drive back and get the siopao they missed. Lesson for you readers: Have them repeat your orders (like they normally do in other places) AND make sure you have the correct order before leaving. read more

What the heck is goin on with ordering fast food these days. Just purchased 2 orders of taho from this place and found pubic hair in it. That is the most disgusting thing. I had to discard the other one as well. Jesus!!!!! Incase you wonder, photo is of the time and place. read more

Chowking - a person holding a receipt in their hand - Chinese Near Me - North Hills, California

Never really had a pleasant experience here, but I'm specifically writing about the chicken they have. If you're looking for fried chicken swimming in oil, this is the place. My parents came home with two buckets of chicken. At first I was excited because food! Duh! But after eating one, I felt disgusted. It was probably the oiliest fried chicken I have ever had in my life. Fast forward to a couple of weeks after and the bucket of chicken was still in the fridge. I guess my family just had a silent consensus to not eat the chicken. The bucket finally made it to the trash a couple of days ago. Even when there was "no food" in the refrigerator, no one touched the buckets... Yikes! read more

If I could give just zero stars.....service was slow. Employees were very lack luster about the situation. I waited almost 25 minutes for chicken. Food was like bad prison food. read more

Fast and friendly service like everyone else says. Had the chicken for the first time today. Brought it home to the family a little nervous we wouldn't enjoy it. Pieces were nice sized AND CRUNCHY even after they were left In the box waiting for the rice to cook. Chicken was seasoned well and had flavor to go with the crunch. Going back tomorrow to make sure this wasn't a one hit wonder. read more

the staff was very rude name QJ . not only once but twice.. i was just ordering coffee yesterday and today and she was rude to say walang coffee and smirked. breakfast time. she was rude also to talked to other customers .. her tagline was for here or to go.. manager should train her first how to greet cstomer take order suggestive selling and ask for here or to go after the order was done gosh read more

Chowking - a man sitting at a counter - Chinese Near Me - North Hills, California

I was never a fan of the place to begin with because of my previous negative experience regardless of branch and food but today was especially disappointing. It's bad enough that their prices are soaring but the quality and quality is decreasing/declining as well. I was surprised when we ordered taho this afternoon that it's barely 60% of the container when it used to be almost to the brim. Maximizing profits this way is a surefire way to fail and lose customers. Don't penny pinch thinking you'll save money because you will get a result far worse than losing sales.. a ruined reputation. read more

Great place. Great food. Great service. Ordered: Chicken mami Beef wonton Asado siopao (7) Shumai (spelled wrong ) Being half Filipino, I've noticed other comments have stated that this place is more Chinese than Filipino. I haven't had CHOWKING since 2013, and I had it last in Quezon City . It was great to me. I would gladly go back. Test out 50% of my culture read more

The beef bowl and Siu Mai dim sum were Salty AF. The Sweet pork bow was meh; but the Halo Halo was good though.

Wait for chicken is 20 mins. You would think that they would have enough ready so you can go on your way, but that's not how they operate.

Ordered 3 congee. I lost 59 pounds eating congee here. This is much better than subway and it supports the Philippines. Love this place. Halo halo is the best. read more

5 STARS for the fried chicken. Their menu used to have a 3 piece chicken with rice and your choice of pancit or Filipino spaghetti and a soda. Now, that's no longer on the menu, but you can ask the cashier. It's about $6 or so. Not 100% on the price. The cashiers are always suuuuuuper nice, and courteous. "O po" and "Ma'am" will be heard at least 100 times during your transaction. I haven't tried anything else on their menu. So my rating is solely based on the fried chicken which I think surpasses Jollybee's Chicken Joy. Their halo-halo is pretty good. Kind of pricy. Ample dining seating in the middle of the Seafood City grocery store, shared with the other restaurants. read more

Chowking - Fried chicken combo, I ask for the pacit on the side - Chinese Near Me - North Hills, California

DON'T GO TO NORTHRIDGE CHOW KING!!!! This particular Chow King is the worst! Older cashier had the worst customer service and other younger person who seemed to be the trainer was equally poor at people skills. I specifically asked to wrap the siopaos I bought and older lady said it'll take longer to wrap all of them! I said I'll wait. Got home, and they didn't wrap them! They didn't even say anything or apologized. Younger short haired person was so unfriendly and so tight with with their sauce! Uggh never going to this place again! read more

Last night ordered some soup from the north hills location. As soon as I brought my food home, I saw these weird blue marks on my egg. What is going on? What is this ? This is just sad and concerning for people who consume this. I really hope they are handling the food safely. I had to stop eating because I have no idea what that Is. this is really bad. I hope someone can explain why and how did this happen. read more

Really 3.5 stars, but closer to 4 than 3. Service was friendlier, better, and faster than any other Chow King location that we've been to. This location is located inside Seafood City along with other Filipino places like Valerios and Goldilocks. There are plenty of tables available to sit down at and eat. The food is as good as the other branches we've visited. The tapsilog with bangus combination is my wife's favorite dish to order. I like the other breakfast choices and the fried chicken. read more

They always run out of siopao asado and siopao sauce. It's frustrating because you expect these are their popular items. They always give the alibi that there's a problem with delivery. How about solving that? read more

Tons of food and everything was pretty tasty. I got the combo with chicken, fried rice and my fav, Pancit . It came with a piece of Chinese fried chicken. I was reluctant thinking it would be super bland. I was so wrong! This little Filipino/Chinese fusion place does not skimp on seasoning! I gave three stars because half of my food looked and tasted old and the other half fresh. I took my food to go so didn't notice until I was in the car. Also, most of the menu is pork, so if your not a pork eater, not much to choose from here. Not sure if I would try this place again. Maybe, maybe not. read more

Chowking - Garlic chicken, fried chicken, fried rice and pancit - Chinese Near Me - North Hills, California

Went over to get dinner at this restaurant and after getting the order this guy who was counting the money started shouting at employees and all of us customers can hear it. Clearly this guy who was counting the money is harassing, intimidating and belittling employees. He is displaying his prowess that he can do this in front of customers, that is very disturbing because customers are trying to eat and we can observe the commotion. This guy also gave us very little small packed condiments and when i ask for 1 additional, he is charging me for additional condiments wherein i saw him gave it for free to others. This is a very bad experience. Never again will I get food from this place it this guy is still around. read more

Came here to try their Halo Halo. I was pleased, it's so yummy! But yes, they do put a lot of ice... Well rather a large chunk that was UNBREAKABLE! My boyfriend said it's nothing compared to the Halo Halo in Manila, but it's decent. It's in a Filipino supermarket so it was nice to shop around after. Food is decent, but my boyfriend had to use the bathroom when we got home so I don't know (-___-) Thai tea boba was good! If you're in the area, give it a try! read more

Chowking - So pretty! :3 - Chinese Near Me - North Hills, California

I would describe this as the Chinese/Filipino fast food comparison to Jolibee. This is a good fast food option, but the service at this location is really slow. My family loves coming here to grab some buchi, steamed buns, halo halo, and a good thai iced tea with boba. A buchi order comes with 6 pieces. The halo halo is interesting because it also has boba on top of it, which I haven't seen anywhere else. Currently there is a promotion of buy 5 steamed buns, get 1 free. They also have freezer to go options of the buns and siomai that you can grab and heat up whenever you want. Not the best food option here in Seafood City, but it's good if you are in the mood. I usually go a few feet away to grab the filipino fast food place, which is way better. read more

I come back for their breakfast food options, served all day. That longanisa. Mmmmm Only knock is not a big fan of their sweet drink options. Too expensive. read more

I know that Chow king is in a Filipino market and it is listed as a Filipino restaurant but it feels a bit more Chinese to me with their menu. Whatever country the menu originates from I know I just love noodle soups of any kind so when i saw a nice looking beef noodle soup on the menu I had to try it. I got the combo which came with a Bao bun filled with delicious sweet meat and a drink. My Bao was soft and pillowy with a nice sticky sweet meat center. My soup had a real nice flavor and the noodles were good but you could tell they were not freshly hand made. Overall the price was very good for the meal deal, service was friendly and prompt and my meal was delicious for a fast food counter in a supermarket. Next time I gotta get a dozen of the Bao buns to go, Aloha read more

Don't buy Siopao pack here, so overpriced and they charge for saucewill not buy here ever

So we order their pack of siopao and they are charging for the sauce. This place is stupid! Overpriced and ridiculous.

Came for Breakfast this Morning and hopingto order Bangus (Milk Fish) for Breakfast...guess what! On the Menu but not available, they ran out!!! What kind of crap is this for such a huge Corporation not having what they offer to sell...Typical Filipino Business! I am Filipino but embarrassed how my own goes about in Conducting their Business!!! You might as well close for Business if you can't provide Service! read more

If I could give zero stars I would. I got some taho, went back to my car and tried some while waiting for my uncle doing his grocery. Anyway, as soon as I tried the taho, the syrup and I sago is not good anymore it tasted sour. So I went back and complain not even 5 mins later. The manager or supervisor helped me gave me $5 refund. That night I got so sick till the next day but since it's weekend they didn't count it they said also that was my first meal of the day. Their insurance agent called me and she literally told me I was making things up. Like I want to be sick like that and she was putting words in my mouth. They also told me I could've gone to Urgent Care, but the manager/supervisor told me to wait until their insurance agent calls me and so I waited. (Stupid me) I was too sick all night I don't even know how many pills I popped just to feel better. Not to mention that agent is rude ass hell & unprofessional one thing she said is that, I'm after with the money. Like wow! Also I have a witness with our conversations. So never going back again! I was gonna post this review right away, but I figured they have bad reviews anyway. read more

It's a Filipino fast food joint connected to the supermarket. The cashiers are always courteous, and the menu has a big variety like shu mai, fried chicken & rice, to siopao (meat filled buns). They also have milk and Thai tea. Like previous reviewers have stated, the halo-halo has chunks of ice that are unbreakable but it still tastes good. The overall feeling I get from eating their food, from the canton (thin noodles) to their fried rice, is that it's oily and semi filling. The taste is decent, but it's not something that I would lose sleep over. After eating their lomi (noodles in thick soup), I was craving for the better restaurant version. If you're looking for something filling (esp meat wise), get the food from the kiosk across from them. I'd only eat at Chowking if you want something small or just something quickly made because you're really hungry. Also, if eating in, look after your food because flies tend to buzz around here. read more

I'm a regular customer of chowking. My favorite is siopao asado or bola bola. I noticed also my friend's family's why there's no egg or sausage in bola bola anymore? Eggs and recipes are so cheap here in United States. read more

Salt sale!!!! Flavor is good if they can only try to limit on the salt. I ordered pancit canton and siomai and they were both salty. Congee was pretty good. Service is also great. read more

Their fried fish is good for brekkie, but their Halo Halo receives two thumbs down!! Seriously, huge chunks of ice, and barely any of the other ingredients (beans, jackfruit, etc) was minimal. We had to ask for more because they were such penny pinchers. Ugh. The flies all over the tables annoyed the crap outta me, too. I had to get out of there. Grrr read more

This place is terrible on so many levels. When you make a mistake once, we let it slide. But when you keep making mistakes on multiple levels, there has to be something wrong with this place. On more than one occasion they did not have a lot of items on the menu. About a year ago, I came with my family and my mother tried ordering their spaghetti but they said they ran out. How odd, it's the weekend, how can you not have anymore when most people eat out on the weekend. Ok, we let it slide. On another occasion we tried ordering their beef noodle soup but they didn't have any either, so had to settle for arrozcaldo. Not what I wanted but oh well. My parents ordered dinner to-go from here the other night. My father was not pleased. He ordered the arrozcaldo and there was a chicken bone in there but no meat! Wow, the chefs should be watching where they're chucking their trash. My family came here again, with me this time. It was nice and quiet given that it is Christmas Day. I ordered their fried chicken combo (comes with rice, pancit, shrimp chips, shumai, and sesame balls). My mom ordered the garlic chicken combo and my dad wanted their wonton soup but they were still making the wontons so he had to settle for beef noodle soup. First of all, they did not have any gravy prepared for the chicken and they couldn't even give me a time frame of when it'll be ready. So I had to have the chicken without gravy. No biggie for me, but for other customers it'll be a problem. Secondly, how can you not have wontons ready for the soup?! Did you think people would not eat out just because its a holiday so therefore it's okay to be lazy?! My family and I have encountered way too many disappointing moments here. You're better off at the Chowking in Panorama City. We will not be coming to this location ever again. read more
