This place has got to be one of the best places to get chinese food in Butte county. I bet that all the employees are all family and the food has been what they have been making for the family way before the restaurant was around. Idk why to me when my meals are made with the kind of love and care someone puts into it as if it was made for there own kids is so delicious. read more

The food definitely carried the experience to a 4-stars. The service was quick to the point. If I'm in the area again, I look forward to coming back. Considering it was lunch rush time, it was pretty mellow. read more

Food is always good, service was great today. Love egg roll king! We will continue to shop here.

Kung pao chicken: was slimy, probably from the zuchini next to it. Kung pao chicken composed mainly of chicken and the zuchini cubes. Not bad but probably the worst kung pao chicken Ive had. Larger but chewier. Flavors just not there either. And they give so little and just load it with zuchini. Fried rice was just it, it tasted so little that if I was blindfolded, I would think its just regular rice. Chow mein: Never been a fan of chow mein in general so this was no brainer mid to me. And they load so much chow mein too. Overall, the flavor is the worst part, cause its not so bad I need to throw up but if you compare it to real food, theres a huge difference. Extra: We came in on Thursday around 7pm They spoke cantonese Also I think I saw him grab the noodles with his hands, I wish I could unsee that. Then when ordering, he kept sniffling which is fine but also not and disgusting when youre handling food for other people. He wiped his hands with a towel before taking our card but he still left visible residue on my card. Really something else huh. Food looks good too which is weird Been a few days since I finished it, didnt get sick. I wanna give it a 4 star cause I reserve 3 star for pretty bad restaurants but out of all the restaurants I've been to in Chico, this is lower than most of them. I cant justify myself to give it any higher than a 3. read more

Combo Chowmein is always a hit & flavorful! Service is not the greatest, but can't blame them because there's only a few of them working. Plus they speak broken English, but that's how you know the food the authentic! Oh & expect a long wait time. Lol read more

They make the best chowmein in town. Service is good ambience is old school Chinese restaurant

It is tasty food. I enjoy getting the orange chicken and the potstickers. This is a good local Chinese restaurant.

Walked in and the elder man was digging in his nose and snorting a lot like he had phlegm. I was extensively reviewing the menu since it was my first time and i let others go in front of me. This same man went to cook their food and not wash his hands or wear gloves. I walked right on out. Definitely seems like a lot of health violations being crossed. It smells like urine in the parking lot and everything to the fish tank is rank in here. My goodness read more

Best bang for your buck in town. I love their food. The family that owns a business seem like they work very hard. If you haven't checked this place out yet, you should. read more

Found a roach in my food !! Went to return it and the old man didn't even question it. He knew they had roaches! I'm assuming this isn't the first time this happened. He gave me my money back instantly. So disgusting they need to be shut down. read more

So gross will not be coming back. read more

Easily the best place to get a good ass plate combo from, been coming here since i was a small child im talking since i was born, I get the pot sticker combo or the Mongolian beef combo. They fill up the plate pretty good and for the price is insane in this economy. IT IS AN AUTHENTIC ASIAN/CHINESE RESTRAUNT, please remember this because the service is quick and you order and you go and thats what a lot of REAL Asian spots are like. The inside is going to reflect the food, the fact they got the same fish tank w the 12th generation of fish in there means the food is going to be amazing and so will the prices. Don't come here if you're looking for some gentrified asian food, come here for a good price, a filling meal, and a quick order. Quit playing w them. read more

I have been going here for years when I moved to Redding I really missed it so when I would go visit my mom I would always get me my general chicken combo (my favorite) when the original burned down I was so sad... when they rebuilt I went and tried it and it did not disappoint.. went tonight and customer service was amazing and the food was so flavorful and portions the same...I had dinner and enough for lunch tomorrow... love this place they ROCK!! read more

Egg Roll King - the menu and prices of the restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Chico, California

My husband is a Chico state alumni. Today we visited his old campus so he could show me around. He brought me to Egg Roll king because he said it was good comfort food. And it really was. It's comparable to other Chinese food, but surprisingly they make good pho too (pho being Vietnamese). Definitely best pho in Chico lol. The place itself is a bit run down but I love how sweet the workers are. Seems like a family owned business. My husband did say the prices went up but I believe they were heavily impacted during covid. We got the pho and Mongolian beef. read more

It's a large portion of food for under $10. However, it wasn't very flavorful. I think the combo was supposed to come with a drink but I didn't realize till after I left that I never received it. Only a couple people inside and they were working very hard. Got the food out very quick. read more

Good food, extremely reasonable prices and excellent customer service! And I love the drive-thru

Food is amazing and filled with flavor. You also get a lot of food for the price you're paying for. The only issues is the service seems rushed and they're hard to understand however I always got the meal I asked for. There is also no bathroom however there is a McDonald's close by. read more

It good, fast, consistent, and efficient? Love this place when I am craving pho or Chinese food!

The Kung pao chicken and Mongolian beef is always my favorite. I would say they are the #1 Chinese food in all of Northern California. It's a must try if you ever come to Chico. They have pho also which is a bonus. read more

I just moved to the area and was looking for some good comfort Chinese food and this place really hit the spot. I love their chow main and egg rolls. Both people who I've interacted with in the establishment are nice and the service is wonderful. I have only used their drive through so I'm not sure what it's like inside but I would 100% recommend this establishment. read more

This is a Chico gem. I have been an Eggroll King Patron for many years! Food is always consistently good. My favorite is the beef chow fun, or combo number 1 with orange chicken. The Thai iced tea is also amazingly good. read more

Surprisingly good food. Very fast service. Was shocked to see it has a working drive-thru! Don't recommend the lemon chicken but the chow mein and fried rice was good. Big portions and very affordable! read more

It's been 9 years since my last review, and unfortunately, I am having a difficult time to find reasons to keep me coming back. 9 years ago, a lunch combo was just over $5. This week, they raised their price (again) to $8.50 from $7.50...a 13% increase overnight (and a 54% price increase in those 9 years since my last review). The value-to-price was the draw. Now that's been eliminated. The business never opens at 11am as listed on their posted hours. I have waited in the drive through 10 to 15 minutes regularly, and even up to 25 minutes, before they turn on their sign and start taking orders. I used to be able to call in orders and have my meal ready for pick up (a big time saver), but now they rarely answer the phone, and 98% of the time, they don't even start my phone order until I arrive. Long waits, poor customer service, increased prices, unreliable opening times...I'm struggling to find a reason to come back. read more

They always seem like it's such a hassle to order food. Maybe it's just our American culture that says to give a proper greeting to customers? Instead of "what do you want?" Depends on who hand you your order of how pleasant they are. Food is great no complaints there read more

Favorite place for cheap Chinese food. My favorite item is the beef chow fun and my family loves the bbq pork chow mein.

Every time I come tonight Egg Roll King near closing time they are wiping down all the tables and booths with a pail of water and bleach. I love the fact that they take the time to clean the lobby. I noticed some other reviews stating that the lady that takes the orders isn't nice. I personally think as Americans we don't understand their culture and really have no idea what they have seen and experienced in their lifetime. I have shared a laugh with the lady taking the orders when I told her I liked her ring. I have also shared a laugh with the old lady that hands out the food. She almost spilled my Thai tea and we both laughed when she caught it. The food has been consistent for as long as I can remember. I personally order the Combo Chow Mein with no veggies. My girl likes the Fresh Ginger chicken with no veggies. Tonight I went crazy and also ordered the Curry Chicken with no veggies. I've also had the Garlic Fried Chicken Wings on the appetizer list and they are also delicious. Yes the fish tank isn't crystal clear but they aren't on the menu so I think we're ok. I will share some photos of the food I ordered tonight. Give Egg Roll King an honest chance. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. read more

Egg Roll King - Just a panoramic shot of the dining area right before closing. - Chinese Near Me - Chico, California

Honestly & without hesitation I can say this is the best orange chicken I've ever had and I'm kinda Asian, so you can trust me (thanks, mom!) Usually done in resignation to American palates, this orange chicken is balanced in a way that no dish of food for that price in these humble climes has any right to be - If only Michelin did reviews for a specific dish! How does something that immeasurably orange in color manage to taste almost...fresh? Also, the level and ability in the art of frying food nears mastery here. Sure the service is brusque - is this your first time in this type of establishment?!? (most) Other cultures don't put a premium on sycophancy in customer service like we coddled Americans do, so (literally) suck it up! Chico, you lucky busted little backwater, you've got a real gem here! I hope that provides solace when you look out your window and realize that you live here...in Chico. read more

Egg roll king use to be one of my favorites. I ordered pot stickers recently and they were barely cooked. Also the crab meat wonton and they were hard as rocks! read more

Love their Pho. Chow mein and egg rolls are good. Their fishtank however.... Good lord. :(

I turned a friend of mine on to this restaurant some time ago. It used to be a dinner meal would be dinner and lunch the next day. I recently went and got their broccoli with beef and as the phrase goes, they walked the beef through it. Meaning, there was lots of rice and sauce, which tasted good, but ever so little cheap cut beef. Very disappointed and won't recommend it again. read more

I was in the mood for good Chinese drive-through food, as I have grown tired of the small over priced portions at Panda Express, and one of my co-workers recommended this place. I had been there once nearly 15-years ago when I was a college student, so I thought what the heck. I ordered the lunch orange chicken combo and it was amazing. It was freshly prepared, and delicious. It was actually served so hot and a fresh, that I nearly burned my mouth as I wolfed down its deliciousness. The chow mien was incredible it has a delicious smoky flavor that I can not describe, but it out of this world. I might just order that one its own next time. There is some language barrier, but that is not a problem. They were friendly, prompt, and efficient. Please do not judge this gem by their exterior either. You can not beat the price of their combo. This might be my new lunch go to place. read more

Well it's not fine dining (manage your expectations ppl) it's cheap and fast and not a stupid chain restaurant The rice and the noodles needed a touch of soy, sorta like Panda Express level flavor (thick traditional noodles not tiny noodles tho) and egg roll king is like 30% less expensive AND the chicken is actually very good. White meat thick and crispy and wonderful. Will eat here again because it has a drive thru and the chickens delicious for being American style fast food. I will try the pho next time as someone working there on their lunch break was eating it and it looked good. read more

Dine-In, Takeout, Drive-Thru. I mean seriously, what more could you ask for in a Chinese Restaurant? I worried that the speed of my food being prepared would tarnish the quality but i was wrong! I ordered an order of Chicken Chow Mein, Chicken Curry & Crab Rangoons! Everything was HOT & tasted FRESH. I called in my order and went in to pick it up so I cannot comment on the Dining-In experience or Drive-Thru but I would 100% return. I was very pleased with everything. The Chicken Curry was not overly flavorful and had a bit of a kick to it but nothing that would send you over the edge. Perfect for a cold, rainy, November night. Upon first look of the Rangoons they looked a little over-cooked in terms of the color but inside was perfect! The Chicken Chow Mein was packed to the top of the container and had a nice grilled flavor to it. Thank you guys! I know where I will be stopping for my future Chinese Food cravings! read more

I go here all the time. It's great but it's a bit inconsistent. You never quite know what your gonna get. The staff works hard and is always polite. They are sometimes hard to understand. I'm only giving you this heads up so you are aware and, therefore, can't be a d**k about it if there are language barriers when you order. It is a Chinese restaurant afterall. Be polite to our small business owners. I'd hate to Chico be overun with nothing but fast-food drive-thrus. read more

I had been craving potstickers and egg rolls literally for two days. I looked at some places, but The Egg Roll King had a drive through. I'm having some balance issues, so that sealed it for me. I am not going to lie. The outside of the building (did not go in, so can't rate), was pretty worn down and a bit dirty looking. However the drive through takes you around the back of the building and it looks like they follow health standards. Plus, as each order is made for you, you have time on your hands to look into some of the kitchen area. It took a minute or two for someone to speak to me at the drive through speaker, and it was very short and to the point. Something like, "what you want?" I got a couple "okay's" and "anything else." Then one final "ok." I took that as my cue to drive around. I waited for my order, about 7-10 minutes and headed home. Five potstickers, two veggie egg rolls for $6.95! Plus they made sure to add cutlery, napkins and sauces. So many places seem to forget that I've noticed. I've included pictures. Please don't judge this place by it's look. It's a family run business, and although the food wasn't the very best Chinese I've ever had, it was good. For the price? Impressive! read more

I have visited the egg roll king twice and found it to be a poor dining experience both times. The food was overly cooked, greasy, and poor quality. The batter coated deep fried sweet and sour chicken was basically battered and deep fried chicken fat and skin - it was horrible. Do most people not chew or taste their food? Egg rolls were greasy and mushy. Chow mein was almost exclusively noodles and a sauce, with few vegetables and scanty meat. The only reason I went there for a second time, was because I was a passenger and the rest of my party wanted to try the place, - I'm never going back. read more
