Disappointed. When I looked at the price, I was thinking 10.99 is going to be a big meal. When I received my order at the drive-through, I saw a small bag, but I was hopeful that food quality would be good. As I parked at Dairy Queen to eat my food, and like I feared, it was subpar fried rice and fried chicken drenched in sauce with no flavor. What a disappointment this was. One day I will find an American Chinese restaurant that will have good fried rice that has flavor at decent price read more

I moved to IN from CA about 6 weeks ago. We don't have drive-through Chinese food in CA. I was very skeptical. Then my best friend took me there. I had the chicken lo-mein. So good! I am definitely a convert! The egg rolls and cream cheese wontons are excellent as well! read more

We love take out from Chung King! Their fried rice is delicious!!! Soup is good too. Large portion sizes and a great price point. I would not eat inside, but the service is always fast and friendly. read more

Amazing food!!! Very quick and kind service!!! Huge portions for the price. And best off all the perfect vibes of a carry out Chinese restaurant. We ordered the vegetable lo mein and teriyaki chicken! Food was ready and fresh off the wok in 10 minutes! Could not recommend more!! Loved it all read more

I have gotten lunch there, carry out, 4 times in past several months, and the food is hot, delicious, and great portions. Shrimp egg rolls are good! Because a couple of us are ultra low carb, they prepare no rice and additional vegetables for our meal. Supper fast, and great attitudes. read more

LOVE their food! I have eaten their several times,and pln on it several more! Their food is sooo good,and not real expensive!!

Whatever they are doing in this old bank, they are doing it right! Food was great! Only issue was the lack of info on what exactly comes in each dish(I cannot stand bamboo shoots and edamame), having some more descriptive dietary info would be greatly appreciated read more

Very good food. Service was prompt and the food was hot and tasted good at a decent price.

This place is so good for carryout idgaf about any of the other reviews the food is good every time the consistency is great like it's the same every time and ugh the crab rangoons ughh so good I love this place and it's affordable read more

Amazing prices! Love how quick it is to get your food! The combos are the way to go!!

Best Chinese food in Ft Wayne. Don't be fooled by the bank building. I lived in Hong Kong three years and k now good Chinese food when I'm lucky enough to find it! read more

Always fresh and amazing! Very friendly staff. I love our local 05 Chinese restaurant!

Place is mediocre. Upset my stomach a bit but wasn't terrible. Will not be going back.

This was excellent takeout. Fresh flavor, crisp and full of punch. I had eggs rolls and fries reach. Each item was delicious from the first bite to the last. The egg rolls are some of the best around. Hot and crisp on the outside and full of flavor on the inside. My fried rice was simple like I prefer it, not mushy or tasteless. I got plenty of bang for my buck. read more

I think this place is great, much improved from the previous owners. I was reading some reviews that disagreed, so I thought I would give my 5 cents. The salt and pepper shrimp is delicious and the general tso chicken is also. I also like their crab Rangoon much more than how the previous owners made it. Anyway, this is our go to place for Chinese food in Fort Wayne. read more

Order Garlic Chicken. Fried rice was cold and not fresh. Garlic chicken I asked to tame down didn't want it hot. It was soo bland. Egg rolls were old because they were soft. Called the establishment the worker kept trying to argue with me their food is quality. I asked why I was charged so much. She advised you must state you want the combo or you are charged the full price. I'm still looking for my crab Rangoon. Hmm where oh where did my Rangoon go? 1 out 10 rating with 10 being the highest -1 for effort. This meal went to the trash. read more

The crab Rangoon are delicious! I'm happy with the quality and the fact that the new owners take debit. Welcome to the now! A lot of the time there's a ways but the food is always fresh and delicious. read more

Don't believe any of the bad reviews for Chung King. This place is a hidden gem for fantastic Chinese cuisine. A lot of Chinese restaurants in my opinion are all about the same as far as quality goes. Nothing that really makes them stand out. No so for Chung King, everything from the egg rolls to the hot & sour soup are notch above what you can expect from other restaurants. To be fair, there's no lunch menu and therefore you'll need to order soup (if that's your thing) in addition to your main dish. I will be going back, frequently!! read more

We pass this place at least twice a week, and finally decided to try it. For what it is (express Chinese) it's not bad! We liked the hot and sour soup, crab rangoon, and the shrimp noodles. (The egg rolls and shrimp fried rice were okay, but not exciting.) If you want to try it for the first time, go between noon-3pm to get a complimentary cup of soup. There's limited seating inside, but carry-out and drive-thru are available. Cash only! read more

Sorry to say our experience was not good. It was the worst Chinese food that we've had in Ft. Wayne. The breading on the Sweet and Sour chicken was soggy due to the Chicken being saturated in the S/S sauce. The Tso's just didn't taste good, the breading was also soggy. The food just didn't taste good nor was it worth the $19.98 for two meals. The egg rolls were acceptable. Compared to most Chinese restaurants in the area the portion size was tiny. Sorry, but we had heard good things about Chung King and today they weren't very good. read more

Odd little place that is surprisingly decent. If you're looking for standard staples, they have them. Reasonably priced and with some lunch specials with a fair variety. No delivery and cash only. I use them when I'm feeling lazy and unadventurous. read more

I have never written a review for yelp, and just last week I wrote one of the very few I have ever written on Google. But, I feel so strongly about this that I felt compelled. THIS IS NOT THE CHUNG KING EXPRESS THAT YOU HAVE KNOWN FOR 25+ YEARS!!! I saw the sign that said under new ownership, and I really hoped that was going to be the only change (other than the plus of now taking credit cards). When I looked at the menu, I could tell this would not be the case. It was a whole new menu, and it was filled with strip mall Chinese choices. My go-to, the chung king combination, was gone. So, I tried the triple delight. I was triple NOT delighted. The chicken did not taste fresh and the shrimp was "battered" (covered in an unappealing soft coating that seemed to be an attempt at fried shrimp). The vegetables were okay, but the sauce was tasteless. The rice tasted and had the same texture as minute rice. The egg roll and 2 pieces of crab rangoon that came with the meal were literally DRIPPING into the bag with fry oil. I took one bite and threw them away. I could continue, but I think you get the point... Chung King Express has been one of my favorite 'best kept secret' places in town for 25+ years. The food flavor and quality was ALWAYS consistent. It was always fresh, made instantly to order in a wok with fresh meat, vegetables, and sauce. It was excellent, and by far my favorite (and what I considered the only) fast Chinese food restaurant in town. I am beyond disappointed that it is gone. If the old owners read this... PLEASE COME BACK OR REOPEN SOMEWHERE ELSE!!!!!! DO NOT EAT HERE IF YOU ARE EXPECTING THE CHUNG KING THAT YOU HAVE KNOWN FOR YEARS!!!!! read more

I want to start by saying it is not the same owners as before. I frequent CK often and have grown to crave chinese carryout from CK. Sadly it is no longer owned by the same person. Unfortunately I didnt realize this till after I ordered. The food is ok. I got the sweet n sour chicken. It now just comes with chicken, sauce and white rice. Previously it had onion,pepper,carrot, and pineapple all tossed and heated in the sauce. Now it's just a water red sauce with chicken nuggets and white rice instead of fried. Be warned if you go thinking you are getting your usual. read more

One of the best Chinese takeout restaurants in the area. The location is fairly central to many places. And although the building is a little hard to find and odd looking, it definitely doesn't disappoint. read more

I went here for lunch today, drive thru. There 4 cars in the drive thru, however, I hardly noticed. I was probably there 3-4 minutes. Very fast service. Ordered was a Kung Pao Beef and (first time) Kung Pao Shrimp. I wasn't entirely certain if both would be prepared the same, just different meats or would there be other differences like vegetables or flavors? It did turn out the case of different meats. Meat, green pepper, onion, peanuts, mushroom, carrots in the Kung Pao sauce and a nice serving of rice. Both were excellent. Even after 15 minutes getting home ready to eat, the food was piping hot. Even a small risk of mouth burn (seriously be careful). It was very fresh, and prepared perfectly. The flavoring, the spiciness, the sauce, all of what I have come to expect when getting from from Chung King Express over the years. Kung Pao is a spicy dish. The "heat" is well balanced, enough to give experienced spicy food eaters a "fix" and not so hot more heat senstive people won't be able to eat a bite. I've been enjoying Chung King Express's food since the late 90s. This is one of the most consistent experiences I have had with any restaurant in my life as far as food quality. Once in a while a dish may not be perfect like it was today. Might be a different chef or cook, or maybe been a long day, or maybe on break. But it is still good even then, just not quite perfection like it was today. But it is good value and I will keep returning to enjoy their delicious entrees! read more

Won't be going back after a worker there randomly decided to charge me a flat "$10" for a basic lunch item. Didn't get any soup or any other side with it. read more

Resurrected! My favorite take-out Chinese place has returned after a fire put them on hold for about a year. Too long to be without the most perfect fried rice ever!! How can I describe it? This is American Chinese food without having to overcompensate. No extra, over-the-top seasoning or flavor, no extra grease, just exactly the way it should be. Best of all, it's consistent. I grew up with this restaurant as our family go-to when we wanted Chinese (again, creature of habit here). And I loved it so much, they catered my 16th birthday for about 15 friends. Fresh, crisp veggies, tender meat, and perfectly cooked rice-- if you go between 12 and 3, your meal comes with a half cup of soup. The hot and sour soup is fantastic, but I would recommend the egg drop. This isn't the neon yellow, goopy sludge you find at most Chinese restaurants or take out. This is more subtle, clear broth, bits of chicken, egg white, and tofu, greens, peas and carrots. Fresh and light without all the food coloring! The only drawback is that they are a cash-only establishment. Normally that would knock them down a star, but the quality of food they produce just keeps them at the top of my list for Chinese. read more

Good, solid fast food Chinese. Had it delivered via Waiter on the Way while stranded at home car-less and craving Chinese. Crab rangoons: A little greasy, not enough filling. OK only. Orange chicken: A little greasy, sauce was a little sludgey. Not good. Came with OK fried rice. Special noodles: What saved this meal! This was great. Not too greasy, great flavor. Heated up well as leftovers. Would try something else from here, just not anything fried. read more

Different owners -beware everything including the egg rolls are changed for the worse. If you're looking for your favorites you won't get them the same anymore. No longer best Chinese food in town. I bet they wind up going out of business sooner than later. read more

Well, after reading the great reviews here and on other sites, my wife and I decided to try it out for ourselves. We were both quite disappointed. Very bland and nothing special here. Most of our meals are Asian cuisine, as she is Asian herself, and this meal fell pretty low on the restaurants we've visited the last two years in Fort Wayne. read more

Alright so this place wasn't quite what I expected. It was even better. I went to Chung King because I figured that they had Chung King chicken- Typically a Szechuan fish with fried cubed chicken and vegetables. I was wrong. Their version of Chung king chicken was more like orange chicken. Okay, I thought, I like that too. I was more than impressed when I ate it, however. The meat was high quality and REAL white meat! Wow! Even at the chain Chinese places you don't get that high of quality. It was excellent and fast. Just remember, cash only! read more

No masks were worn by employees. Egg drop soup was full of all kinds of stuff, like nothing I've ever had before. Won't go back

Favorite Chinese food around. Love the beef fried rice, the beef stings, and the crab rangoon!!

This place has been closed 3 times i know of! Then taken over again change name! well i order today egg foo young! hello i got shrimp shells in it and soft noddle! Wtf!! This place i will never go back too! You cant complain. They just blow you off! I love the food but worry about how they cook the food! Only matter of time before its closed down again! And they really jacked up the cost of the food! read more

My favorite Chinese place in town. Fast service and really great food. I've been eating there for years and it's always been good.

This is the place that got me hooked on chinese food when I was little. Fast, fresh, and always declious. Well worth it!

Ordered takeout a couple of days ago and it was delicious! They had it ready only 5-7 minutes after we ordered and all the orders came with fried rice. Not too much sitting room in there either but that's ok. Will definitely come back and try some of their different dishes! A good establishment in the North Anthony corridor! read more

The wife-less husband strikes again. When my wife leaves for business, I enjoy food joints that are usually questionable. Unfortunately this place is not questionable anymore. Great tasting Chinese food in average sized portions. Unlike the china house, I did not have enough for lunch tomorrow. Fortunately, it tasted good enough to finish it all. Will strike again. read more

When I want great Chinese, this is the place to go. With rice paper wrappers instead of wonton skins and proper oil temp, Chung King has the best egg rolls in town! If for no other reason, stop in for the egg rolls. Remember, cash only. read more

HORRIBLE SERVICE!!! Several times we have gone during business hours, and rudely been yelled at through the window that they closed (an hour early). God forbid you show up in their drive through when they don't feel being open; they'll rudely tell you to go away. (An not talking five minutes before close. They said they closed at 9 tonight, and when we ordered at 8, they told us they were closed, had dishes to wash and wouldn't serve anyone else.) Unfortunately, we've found this to be the norm here. We love supporting local businesses, but not ones who can't seem to be bothered by their own customers. Good bye, Chung King. We used to see you every week, but after you latest, rudest encounter, we'll be happy to take our weekly order somewhere else. read more
