    I honestly think they're beef soup is underrated. I came in craving some type of noodle soup so I came in the morning. Unfortunately, they were not ready to open at the time stated in the front. Waited in the parking lot, and they finally opened the doors 30 minutes later, which is why I leave out some stars. Overall, it ain't bad for what it is, just wouldn't go out my way for it.

    I ordered the 2 entree and the chicken is hard. The sesame balls is not edible. It's chewy. The halo halo not pictured here was good.

    The food is okay both is taste and texture. It's edible but not great. The service was nice and fast. The ambiance was okay but the floor where I was sitting at had too much rice on the floor and chair. There was barely anyone there.

    I came in on a Friday afternoon specifically to purchase some siopao (asado), taho and black jelly drink, but saw they offer popcorn chicken (spicy) now, so I decided to try it out too. Prices of food is starting to get expensive and portions are shrinking. There wasn't many people eating here around lunchtime, so it could be due to the prices and small portion size. I was the most disappointed by the popcorn chicken as it was only 9 pieces (McD sized chicken nuggets) of chicken which came in a big container (noodle soup/rice bowl container) which made it look like very small portions. I do like their food, but I minimize eating at a Chow King now due to price and portion size. Personally, I like their siopao and taho, so that is what I mainly come Chow King for now days.

    Since we were in the neighborhood, we dropped by Chowking for a couple of baos and a drink. The restaurant was fairly busy when we walked, there was boisterous group of customers in one corner of the room plus a few more customers here and there. We placed our order at the counter: 3 Asado-flavored steamed bao buns and black jelly drink. The young lady at the register was very efficient and courteous; she processed our orders quickly and we were on our way. The black jelly drink hit the spot; it was cool and refreshing. The steamed buns were very tasty; the dough was super airy and pork filling was absolutely delicious. I regret not purchasing more to take home; oh well, maybe next time. Overall, we had a positive experience: the service was good and food was great!

    To start off, I'm only reviewing their taho dessert offering and nothing else. The reason is, I hardly ever eat fast food. However, this place serves taho, a quintessentially Filipino dessert, a uniquely delicious sweet treat from the Philippines made with silken tofu and chewy tapioca pearls mixed with a rich brown sugar syrup. It's a classic. I don't know too many places where it's served, but it's a standard item on the menu and I go there just for the taho. I didn't grow up in the Philippines, but in the five years of childhood living there, it's one of the few things I remember from the motherland, especially visual of the taho man balancing a bar on his shoulder with two large containers of the ingredients while barking in the streets. I suppose it isn't just the treat I remember fondly and crave, but also of a warm cultural reminiscence. And so, Chowking serves this deliciousness with remarkable consistency in quality as I've had it over the years. I'm grateful to have a go-to place for taho.

    Menu item Bundle Feast 1
    Jon L.

    First time order. Bundle 1 supposed to have 6 pcs chicken, 6 buchi, 3 rice, 3 drinks. They sent 5 pcs chicken, zero buchi and 5 lumpia that was not ordered. No sauce (paid $0.15 for recommended sauce). Food was inedible. Chicken was deceptively crispy because it was basically dehydrated. Chicken dried out to the point it was like that movie "Survive" about the Brazilian soccer team crashes plane in the snowy Andes Mountains and they have to cannibalize their dead teammates. The chicken was as dried out as the frozen cadavers they had to scrape strips of freeze dried flesh off the bones and gnaw on little strips of dried people. That's how dry it was. Chicken jerky. Rice was barely warm. Never again. TO MARIA D. that replied to this review, I tried to access your website contact form but you force me to insert an order number which your system won't accept. I don't have a receipt from your store I ordered thru GrubHub and their order numbers are not accepted in your form. So I can't contact you "personally" as requested.

    2 Entre Breakfast with Tocino and Bangus - so yummy!
    Darlene M.

    Filipino breakfast hits the spot - so yummy. I ordered the 2 entree breakfast with Bangus and Tocino. Super yummy! Don't forget to ask for vinegar. Customer service needs improvement. Maybe eye contact and friendliness would be nice, and attentiveness too. He was taking my order but looking the other way. I wasn't sure if he was listening to me or not. Service is slow for a fast food establishment. Other than that, we had a decent experience. There's plenty of indoor seating and the dining room was fairly clean.

    Popcorn Chicken

    Lackluster Taiwanese popcorn chicken. It was more soggy than crispy. Tables were sticky, not a clean environment to eat at

    Came here for lunch after shopping at Seafood City. Came at a good time, there was no line and we didn't have to wait long at all for our order. We ordered beef mami, chicken mami and two beef siopao. Orders came out within a few minutes. The siopao was delicious - hot and tasty. Hubby would've loved more egg, but I can do without it. The soup broth was delicious, not overly salty. Noodles were cooked well but we both could've ate more noodles in the soup. Hubby liked his beef mami. For me --- where's the chicken?!!!! I didn't see any chicken pieces until I looked closer and realized it was in tiny little bits. Almost looked "freeze dried" and then warmed up in the broth, haha! I think I'll order the beef mami next time. The place was decent. Wish they would clean the tables often. Every time we eat there, most of the tables are dirty. Other than the occasional fly(ies), we liked our meals.

    Chicken jerky?
    Nicholas B.

    Well, let's see...the best thing was the steamed rice and the Diet Pepsi. If you love over cooked chicken that has almost no meat left, then this place is perfect for you. Instead of the sesame balls we ordered, we got lumpia. Given the greasy, extremely over cooked, sad excuse for fried chicken that they delivered, I would not risk ordering from here again. I'm giving two stars because the soda was cold and the rice was not cold.

    Stopped by to get those siopao asado and Buchi's. There was a short line but then after I ordered the line got longer. Service here was so slow. Only 1 staff attending the register and also making the drinks. The wait was almost 30 minutes. The customers who lined up after my order were given their orders ahead.... I asked if my order were the ones on the counter, the rude staff abruptly said she was just going to bag them and I still had to wait till she finished what she was doing. This location is so under staffed but then they don't have to be rude just because. I got 6 pcs of Siopao but was only given 5 sauce packets. I asked for more of the sauce and was told there's a charge of $0.11 a packet. Really???? So I inquired how msny do I get For a $1???? I got 9 packets !!!!!

    Where's da brocolli? I had to dig- This was not eaten yet :(
    Stevie B.

    11/04/24- With rising costs of food, I do believe that the quality should not be compromised. Went here and got pancit canton, siopao, black jelly and beef brocolli bowl. First off, the bowl is not even in a bowl. The beef brocolli has only one piece of brocolli and the rest were meat. Yes, they do advertised "more meat", but it's called brocolli beef, so where's the brocolli. The black jelly has a slight bitterness to it. It shouldn't be. Paid 24.83 for some mediocre food. The fountain drinks- there are times the homeless will just go inside and refill whatever cups they have. That's a big No No. Very unsanitary. They should not allow that in the first place.

    All you need is the Crispy Garlic Sauce Wing The best wings…read moreI've ever had. Crispy 10/10 Juicy 10/10 Spice 5/10 (not very hot) Flavors 12/10 omfg!

    We had been hearing about this spot from our friends in Vallejo for a while--they always rave about…read morethe garlic soy wings and even say they're better than San Tung in San Francisco. On top of that, former Golden State Warriors player Festus Ezeli has been here and said he loved the wings, so we had to check it out while we were in the area. When we got there, it was already busy, but we were glad we were able to get a table right away. Good thing we came when we did, because a wait started forming shortly after. We did have to wait a bit for our food, but it was understandable--they had a steady flow of call-in and DoorDash orders going out. We ordered the garlic soy wings, salt and pepper fish, and shrimp fried rice. First off, the shrimp fried rice actually had real, good-sized shrimp--not those tiny ones you sometimes get--which we really appreciated. The wings were flavor town: crispy, packed with flavor, and super satisfying. Even though you can see peppers in the dish, there wasn't really a spicy kick, which is different from San Tung, where there's usually a slight heat. That said, even without the spice, these wings absolutely live up to the hype. The salt and pepper fish was also a standout--crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Overall, I can see why people compare this place to San Tung. They're both delicious, just in their own way.
