    Wrong Order2: fried eggs, fried meat, rice

    I ordered food to be delivered today, Sunday-May 17, 2026 at 11:00am. I ordered: Pansit Canton (noodles), 2 orders of Lumpia Shanghai. My entire ordered was delivered at 11:47 but the whole order is wrong and not the food that I order. The food CHOW KING sent to me: 2 fried eggs, fried beef & rice (see pic). I don't eat eggs because I am allergic to it. Called Chow King tell them I got the wrong order and Chow King admitted that the wrong order was sent to me but Chow King refused to send me the correct order because they said-they have no driver though on their website indicated that they have a delivery service. And Chow King refused to give me a refund because Chow King indicated that Uber Eats is the one that needs give me a refund& not them. Took pics of the wrong order and offered to send it back to Chow King but they said no need because they KNOW that its the Wrong Order, but they will NOT give me a refund & NOT send me the correct order. This is consumer fraud- for me to be charge for the food that I never receive. Poor customer satisfaction when CHOW KING Refused to refund my money or send me the correct order and stated that it is UBER EAT that made a mistake. I told them that they have a delivery service so why not just send me my correct order that I already paid. Chow King REFUSED to send me my correct order that I already paid and REFUSED to give my refund. SHAME on you Chow King for POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE. Very bad customer service& Consumer Fraud for charging me & taking my money & send me wrong food. Poor Customer Service and Consumer Fraud- which Chow King refused to send me correct food that I paid for and refused to give me refund. What kind of business that made a mistake and not correct the mistake they made by sending customer a wrong order & refusing to give refund for the food they sent that I did NOT order! I will NEVER give my business to CHOW KING Mira Mesa and Uber Eats & will NEVER recommend Chow King to al my family friends & everyone I know in SD & beyond! Pls attached of 2 wrong orders Chow King sent to me: 2 fried eggs, small cutup beef tosino & rice- I did NOT order this. Correct your mistake Chow King- send me the correct food I paid for!

    Thank u for the good food and service

    We brought my Son and his friends to Seaworld and as always they still want to stay longer together afterwards, so after Seaworld I treated them more to Starbucks. And I know they would want more after Starbucks, and I always know they will be going to ask me to treat them to Raising Canes after, but we are always in Raising canes 'coz these Teens loves Raising Canes, so for a change of ambiance I searched up in Yelp for FRIED CHICKEN places that were near where we were at, but I remembered that Jollibee and CHOWKING also have good Fried Chicken. I chose to bring them to CHOWKING this time since their fried chicken was good and bigger there. When we came there's good enough seating inside. I ordered the special they have which is the: *2 of BUNDLE FEAST - CHICKEN and PANCIT That's a Total of 20 FRIED CHICKENS and 2 orders of PANCIT. The young lady on the front said it would be a 20 Minutes wait, and I said that's alright. Then after I ordered I heard her say to the next customer that it would be a 40 minutes wait. So after 20 mins passed, our Fried Chicken was not served yet. It was served after 1 hour and 20 minutes, I don't know what happened and why it took that long, or maybe they just have so many orders for the day. So for the FOOD, the PANCIT is just alright, but their FRIED CHICKEN was DELICIOUS! CRISPY on the outside and juicy inside, it was cooked nicely as always. The PLACE is also Clean. And there's Plenty of Parking too. For Customer service they have friendly staff here.

    The name of the cashier is written very disrespectful

    This location has the worst customer service. Filipino workers here are rude and disrespectful. Came in today to get the 2 entree breakfast. on the board it states 2 entree add $1.50 bangus. It was not very clear to me how it works so I asked. They were 2 people upfront. I believe the one short lady was the manager who made me wait 10 minutes without saying anything before taking my order and then the other one went to the other cashier and asked what i wanted. So I asked what does it mean add $1.50 for bangus? and none of them can answer the question. I simply wanted to know what the sign on the board meant. How can a manager and a person that works there doesn't know what you're selling and what your menu meant? It is standard to know and explain to the customer when they asked. They were so disrespectful when they speak to me and gave me all the side eyes they can. You both work in customer service at least be nice if you both actually didn't know what you're selling and what it meant or how to explain it to the customer. I am reporting this to their corporate. There is a big difference with not knowing and at least being nice of having a good customer service. Food are expensive and very small portions. This location has to close because they are hiring the wrong Filipinos. Filipinos are know for being nice and hospitable. But I guess these ones that works here have that crab mentality being here in the US. I am just saying it is free to be humble.

    Food: Tocino should be served in tinier pieces since they do not have plastic knives to cut the meats that are TOO big to fit into one's mouth and too tough to bite with one's teeth. Service: Denise is very professional, polite and attentive. She gave the proper greeting, "Hello mam, for here or to go?" Arlyn, the older lady on the other hand, looks like she hates her job. After not acknowledging my presence and making me wait a few minutes, she turns to her busy subordinates and tells them "tell Denise there's a customer", referring to me as persona non grata. Eventually, she says "never mind I'll do it" to which she turns to me and sternly said "YES?!" This lady could learn more from the younger workers. Obviously this supervisor type does NOT lead by example. Ambiance. Supervisor's negative attitude kills the ambiance. She should stay at the back and keep her bad attitude in place away from paying customers like me.

    Staff is 5/5. Offered me water cups and insisted. The store was fairly clean 4/5. My food was a bit dry, but it was still good 4/5. This Chowking is better than the one in National City for sure. Give it a try!

    Half Taho and mostly water!!!

    Chow king is a Joke ordered a Beef stew with wontons noodles soup and had tiny bits of beef about 12 tiny pcs with no wonton and I have to ask them and it cost $10.79! Never eat at Chow king! ITS NOT WORTH IT!

    Outstanding customer service from Roel.
    Ricardo S.

    My wife and I ordered taho and buchi and both were served hot and fresh. The gentleman at the counter (Roel) was pleasant, cheerful, and provided outstanding customer service. He had the initiative to include cups of water with our order and offered soda. He also delivered to our table our remaining order (buchi). This virtue is rare to see in any fast food establishments.

    Located in the same Convoy plaza as Yun Tea House, the parking here is absolutely horrible, and we…read morehad to wait about 10 minutes to be seated--but the food easily earns 5 stars! They have a super easy online ordering system right at the table which makes things convenient. We ordered the spicy lamb biang biang noodles and the non-spicy beef pulled noodles, and both had the perfect chew and incredible flavor. We also ordered the garlic green beans, but they came out so late that we were already completely full from the noodles, so we took them to go. Thank god we did, because they turned out to be pretty salty on their own and really needed to be paired with white rice at home. Overall, an amazing spot for authentic noodles! Absolutely love this place and will be back.

    We came right before the dinner rush and I can definitely see why this place got packed so quickly…read more It isn't huge inside but there is ample seating, we were sat right away and the menu was fully online. Something I didn't love though, you order and pay through the online menu. Considering you leave a tip I don't fully understand how it works when we did this whole process ourselves. I also noticed other tables getting plates and bowls which we had to ask for. Overall, I felt the servers weren't too friendly either and seemed to rush through our table despite them standing around not seeming too busy. The food was excellent though! The soup had a great spice to it and super flavorful. The beef and onion was so juicy and addictive, the green beans were good too and had a slight kick to them.

The shrimp were huge, and the caramelized walnuts were broken up and sprinkled all over so you could taste it in every bite. The portions were alright--three dishes were enough for two people. The Orange Chicken felt like there was more dough than chicken. I wouldn't say the food blew my mind; it's just a step up from Panda Express, honestly. Service: 3.5/5 Our server was nice! The waitstaff made themselves available if you needed anything while dining. We made a reservation online and indicated it was for a special occasion, but nothing special was done. We didn't expect anything, really, but it doesn't make too much sense to have the option to mark our dinner as a special event on the reservation website. Atmosphere: 4.5/5 It was warm and dimly lit, which made the dinner feel very romantic. We really had dinner by candlelight. The music was a bit loud where we sat--the speaker was right above us. I would recommend this place for a (first) date night, an older family meal, or a place to hang out with friends. Final rating: 3.67/5 (rounding up to 4 on Yelp)

We got there around 7 and it wasn't busy. I found street parking easily a couple blocks away. The restaurant is pretty small, I'd recommend at most a party of 4 here. Well decorated as all of their establishments are. You order family style. We ordered the cucumber salad, noodles, and honey walnut shrimp. Service was alright. The food was really really salty. But aside from that, good portions! Definitely enough for 3 people and then some. Bill came out to $55 which is a bit more than other Chinese food places you can visit in SD for lower quality. I'd visit again but nothing to write home about.

    TL;DR It's really good. Go here…read more -------------- I came here after a friend recommended it when I told them I was coming down to San Diego for a day trip during my spring break from school in Orange County. I was born and raised in LA, so I've had a lot of Chinese food growing up, and I wasn't expecting to be this surprised--but I really was. I ordered the black bean eggplant and the salt and pepper chicken wings. The wings are what they're known for, but I have to start with the eggplant because it completely caught me off guard. It wasn't mushy at all--crispy on the outside, perfectly cooked on the inside, and coated in sauce without losing its texture. Every bite had depth and balance, not just saltiness. I actually meant to start with the wings, but the eggplant was so good I ended up eating half of it before even getting to them. By that point I was already getting full, but I still made sure to finish the wings--and I'm honestly excited to take the rest of the eggplant home as leftovers. By the time I got to the wings, I understood why they're popular--crispy, flavorful, and super satisfying--but what stood out to me was how both dishes complemented each other. One rich and layered, the other crisp and bright. I never got tired of eating, which honestly says a lot. I even told the staff how much I enjoyed the food and they thought I was joking, but I meant every word in saying I thought it was comparable, if not better then the food I've had in Chinatown in LA. Really glad I came here and the next time I have a chance to come back down to SD I definitely will come back here and that's not negotiable for me

This place is NOT worth the high rating it has. We ordered the Fried Green Beans, they were cooked in oil that was obviously not to temperature. Too greasy for consumption. To make it worse? They were drowned in salt! The Crispy Beef was nothing but thick dough with no beef inside. To add insult to injury it was BURNED so badly that all you could smell was burnt dough and taste burned dough. Hardly any sauce on it as well. The Shrimp Fried Rice should have just been plain white rice for how bland it was. The Vegetable Chow Mein literally was just a container of salt. Slim noodles and salt, disgusting! We spent so much money and all of this is going right into the garbage. Stay away from this hole! It should be shut down for trying to poison people. Feels like I am going to go blind from the amount of salt I ingested from only a few bites. Gross!!

    The $19.99 AYCE on social media is deceiving…read more I took my mom here so we could try this new AYCE option this place was offering based on social media influencers. It was empty coming in around 5:30pm on a Friday, but it soon filled to capacity in the next hour. So coming into it, we thought we would choose between Menu A and Menu B. Afterwards, we thought it was AYCE on the menu of your choice + the side buffet where there are limited selections of sides and refrigerated drinks. We ordered orange chicken, Chinese style fish and something else. Again, this was on the thought that we could order more than one item on our selected menu. So imagine our surprise when the bill was nearly $100 for two people? It was a misunderstanding. However, the initial staff gentlemen was completely rude about it and ignored us as we sought to understand. Finally, a second female server came and heard our concerns regarding the false advertisement and unclear messaging. She was able to provide us the price we thought this was for based on Menu selection. All in all - I don't recommend the AYCE option. I think it would be important to make a distinction that AYCE clearly on the menu and at the front - AYCE means each individual selects ONE entree (which is a one small portion) and the AYCE component of the deal is ONLY for the side buffet.
