The food was very overpriced for what you get, as well as being pretty bland on taste. There are better options in the Central MN area

Awesome Chinese food and very friendly staff. I've eaten at this restaurant for years and haven't…read morehad better Chinese take out. Buffet has enough options to want you going back up for another plate. I've seen the buffet options rotate on different visits so there's always going to be a variety. Ordering take out is my preferred choice as I know the food is cooked fresh. Whether you are dining in or picking up, you can tell each meal this restaurant prepares is cooked with skill. As much as I enjoy Chinese food no matter where I go. I always seem to have the most consistently delicious meals here.

My history with this establishment is a masterclass in disappointment, a decade-spanning saga of…read moredishonesty that I feel compelled to share. It began years ago on a Mother's Day, a celebration with my entire family--my wife, our four kids, and my mother. While the rest of us ordered from the menu, my mother opted for the buffet. The meal itself was a preview of the incompetence to come: reheated food with that distinct microwave sogginess and a pervasive smell of harsh chemical cleaner that clung to the takeout containers we requested for leftovers. The most memorable moment was when my youngest, barely a year old, nibbled on one of my mother's buffet donuts, and the owner's son, about seven at the time, ran screaming toward the kitchen--a foreshadowing of the chaos this place inspires. The true spectacle arrived with the bill. Not only had they charged us for our menu items, but they had the audacity to charge all six of us, including the children, for the adult buffet. When questioned, the staff who had perfectly understood our complex order suddenly couldn't speak a word of English. We told them exactly what we thought of their scam by never returning. A decade later, my son, nostalgic for a childhood he's misremembered, begged to celebrate a chess victory there. Reluctantly, I agreed. While he was away from the table, the lady owner accosted me at the booth, demanding to know why we'd been absent for so long. I looked her dead in the eye and said, "It's prime supper time on a Friday night, and you have two customers. We told you we didn't like being ripped off; we told you with our feet." Now, with that son grown and moved out, I made the fatal mistake of giving them one final chance. Some things never change. The food was as mediocre as ever, but the audacity had been refined into an art form. I was billed for sixteen wontons and received a paltry four. When I called to rectify the mistake, the same delivery service they proudly advertise suddenly became unavailable. They can deliver your food, but they can never, ever deliver on their promises. A perfect record of failure spanning ten years is almost impressive. Save your money and your dignity; this is a place that sees customers not as guests, but as marks.

We have a lake camp site in South Haven, Minnesota, and pass through Annandale while en route…read more We stop by the Marketplace grocery store for supplies, and the liquor store that is in the same parking lot. Next door in between is a small Asian restaurant, China King that is open Tuesday - Sunday. I tried them today for a quick to go lunch, and it was better than average. Let me explain. When you walk in, there are only about 5 available tables to eat on site. The other tables on either side of the restaurant are full of restaurant supplies like plastic bags, and boxes of condiments. Next to the ordering counter on the left is a self serve area for napkins, chopsticks, and the run of the mill duck, hot mustard, and spicy sauce packets. Yes, packets. At least have homemade hot mustard people! If you order the meat wontons or cheese wontons, they do come with a "homemade" sweet and sour sauce. For today's lunch I ordered the meat wontons and their special fried rice to go. The wontons were pretty good, but a bit oily. The fried rice was pretty good as well, and chock full of onions, possibly frozen carrots and peas, chicken, pork, and small shrimp. It was not spectacular, but it wasn't too bad. I'd say it was better than average, and you got an overstuffed large to go classic container of it, with the container bulging to contain it. Was it the best fast Chinese food I ever had? No. But it definitely wasn't the worst. I'd eat here again. The meat wontons were pretty tasty, and you got 10 to an order. Pretty tasty, and they open at 1100. Um, a dispensary is right next door, connected to the liquor store. The Chinese place may be there for a while. Just saying.
