I literally eat here everyday. Quality take out food. Super fast. Cheap! 8 dollars for the lunch combo. That's unbeatable.

Went in to King Chef to place an order and noticed after my order was placed, a guy who was sitting out in the dining area scrolling on his phone, got up to prepare my food. He walked directly past the sink and didn't bother to wash his hands. He then turned the burners on to heat the wok and proceeded to dig in the containers of vegetables to handle them with his bare hands...His bare hands!!! No spoon. No tongs. No utensils...just his bare hands!! I was honestly shocked to see this, particularly because hand washing and food-handling practices are basic requirements for a restaurant. Seeing someone go from sitting in the dining area scrolling on their phone to preparing your food without washing their hands made me very uncomfortable about eating what I ordered. I immediately asked for a refund! That was just nasty!!! I'm sharing this review because food safety should never be taken lightly. I sincerely hope that management addresses this situation immediately and ensures that everyone preparing food follow proper handwashing and food- handling procedures. The sad part was, the cashier thought it was funny. I would never eat there again. read more

Alright King Chef, I don't know what tomfoolery you're trying to pull, but I know for a fact that there ain't no dang king cooking up on the pu pu platter in the back. Let this review be made known that I can only speak on the sweet and sour chicken combo platter. This review was nearly solidified on 3 stars, but upon opening our fortune cookies, our destinies were left unfulfilled. My heart is still longing to know what the fate has in store for little ol me. I guess I can't rely on the King to read my palms here, because breaking open our cookies was the equivalent to opening your presents on Christmas day only to be disheartened with an empty box. No fortunes. Sweet and Sour Chicken - basic all around, not great, but not bad, on the border of being good, but the great wall prevents it from crossing. It was dry with little flavor Sweet and Sour Sauce - hard to mess up, your standard sauce White Rice - looks like some heavy metals found their way into the terrace farms because mine had a metallic aftertaste Fried shrimp- These were pretty good, nice and crispy Crab Rangoons - Alright, these I enjoyed but I wish they were bigger! With the form factor of your middle school paper footballs, you can shmock 3 of these at a time read more

King Chef - Sweet and sour chicken combo - Chinese Near Me - Smyrna, Tennessee

I do not usually leave reviews. Most of the time when ordering food it is for convenience versus quality of food. Today I was greatly surprised. I ordered three different dishes from the menu plus eggrolls. The eggrolls are like spring rolls. They are extremely good. The dishes I ordered today is some of the best Chinese food I have ever had. The vegetables were cooked and left crisp the spicy dishes were spicy but not overly hot and nothing more dried out. So if you're looking for the best Chinese food in Laverne or Smyrna King Chef is where you need to go read more

Hubs brings this home for dinner 1-2 times per month as it's near his business. I usually get General Tsos or Chicken and Mushrooms, ALWAYS tasty! Hubs usually gets Peppersteak or Beef Lo Mein, also both really good. And I love their egg rolls! They're even good reheated the next day! read more

They always get my online order right. It's fast and affordable. My go to dinner place when I'm working late.

I have been getting takeout from here for over 10 years. Even after moving to the other side of Murfreesboro, nearly 20 miles away they are still my go to for quick take out. Chinese take out is literally the same no matter where are you in America. If you want "real" Chinese? Hit Chinatown in NYC or Montreal or Toronto. read more

Very good Chinese food. Great lunch special selections. Food is always hot and tasty. Prices are reasonable. Orders don't typically take too long to prepare. read more

I had given a 5-star rating, but our last interaction with them was really unpleasant. They have never been friendly, but our most recent experience with them will definitely be our last. My husband and I have been loyal patrons to King Chef for over two years. He always gets the same dish, General Tsos Chicken with Lo Mein instead of rice (which is an upcharge). When my husband picked up the food, they gave him white rice instead of lo mein even though the receipt showed the upcharge for lo mein. He called and was super patient and understanding, he just wanted to see if he could pick up the lo mein he paid for. The woman was incredibly rude and just started yelling at him, "NO YOU DID NOT ORDER THAT!" even though it says lo mein on the receipt, AND when she read back the order to us on the phone she even said lo mein! Then she LIED and said "WE DON'T EVEN DO LO MEIN HERE!". My husband started questioning her about that considering we've been getting lo mein there for TWO YEARS and she then admitted they do have it and would fix it for him. Not even worth it, she probably spit in it! We want to support local businesses during the pandemic, but will not support people who aren't good to the people who keep them in business. If you want amazing food AND service, go to Karen's Thai Sushi instead! read more

King Chef - a fork stuck in a bowl of worms - Chinese Near Me - Smyrna, Tennessee

It's edible, ya know? Not much else to say about it. Portions are decent, but not for the price you're paying. Service is meh at best. And the ambiance is that of a bodega. It's reasonably quick and easy. That's about it. read more

King Chef is amazing ! Everything is always hot & fresh when you get it ! Their Crab ragoon is my favorite. Fast , friendly service

We have been ordering from King Chef for years, and it has always been excellent. It's not fancy, but it's tasty and quick. I can count on one hand the number of times I've arrived and my order wasn't ready, and generally that was my fault. I love their pork lo mein. Servings are substantial and can be shared or used for the next day's lunch. The family who runs it is always nice, and it's easy to get in and out when the "clinic" next door isn't open. If you want a fast meal for a crowd, it's a great place to order. read more

*Read all before you order!!!* Ordered house special lo mein. Noodles were burnt and extremely dry and it only had 3 shrimp in the entire qt size which came in the normal qt size square paper box. We also ordered 2 other qt sized dishes that they put in the the white Tupperware containers. After going in to ask if these containers were equivalent to the qt size boxes, they said they were. I then asked for them to transfer them into the box instead of the white Tupperware containers to prove it was actually a qt size , which they did...hesitantly. the Tupperware didn't fill the box so he said they would cook more to actually fill the boxes and give us what we paid for. The meal was over $60 and it was all bland and over cooked. Will NOT go back, it isn't what it used to be. Skimping people out of food isn't right. If I pay for a qt size I expect just that! Make sure to not accept qt size food that is put in the white Tupperware containers, it is NOT equivalent. read more

It wasn't anything special and the service was average. I never got my egg roll but didn't want to wait any longer for it after I had send the first dish back because it was wrong. read more

As a big lover of Chinese food, I have tried most of the places in Smyrna, and was yet to find one I wanted to go back to. That is, until I tried King Chef. The food is great and reasonably priced for the large portions they give you. Almost every time I get the General Tso's chicken, fried rice, and an eggroll. It never fails to impress, and always keeps me coming back for more. Their delivery time is quick too, although they don't deliver very far from their location. The people there are always friendly as well, and they've come to know me by order and start making it when they see me come in. Very friendly atmosphere. Try the crab rangoons too! Amazing. read more

Very good made fresh right in front of you and inexpensive. I do a take out usually when I am in Smyrna for the Army. They are so willing to customize my food and make it extra extra spicy for me. I have eaten from here countless times and it has always been consistently good. read more

Today I placed an order and payed for online totaling $20.00 including tip. When I picked up my order, I wanted to purchase a soda that was $1.75. I wanted to use my debt card. They told me that to use my debt card, I would have to spend a minimum of $5.00. I informed them that I just spent $20. They reiterated that they would not sell me the soda. I left without a fuss, BUT I WONT BE BACK. The food is pretty good, but it is the principle. They probably bout the sodas dirt cheap and the cost to use that machine is probably less than 3%. In some states it is illegal to place a minimum charge on debit card transactions. I WON'T BE BACK. read more

This the best Chinese restaurant in middle Tennessee, the people is very clean and nice and the most important is : you get awesome food for few bucks ! I highly recommended as a healthy, testy, and affordable please to eat . Also you can call a head to place you order if you plan to pick up read more

They do not deliver and if they are unable to update their information accurately, I'm not sure I would trust them with my food. We really should add reviews for all of the Chinese food options available. It is time to seriously weed out these poor performing establishments. read more

Very upset and disappointed with the miscommunication. I ordered my food, got home to discover we are missing ingredients. I call the restaurant and there are no apologizes, or solutions! I have decided to stop giving my money to King Chef!!! Going to take our business elsewhere! read more

First time ordering from here. I was bringing food to a friend who had surgery so I decided to get me some too. I live in Murfreesboro so probably won't be back. I ordered the C4 Boneless Spare Ribs. The color of the sauce was quite unusual, but tasted okay. It was the spare ribs that weren't any good. Shoe leather would probably be easier to chew. I have braces and envisioned softer easier to chew food. Most of it was so hard I couldn't eat it. The pieces that weren't as hard were very fatty. I mostly ate the white rice and eggroll. I was hungry and disappointed. My friend orders from there all the time and I probably would have liked something else, but I would never order C4 again. read more

The food here is great. Probably the best Chinese restaurant near me in Smyrna. Been going for over ten years ever since they opened!

My favorite Chinese restaurant in Smyrna. If it's your first time going I definitely recommend the wings but ask them to make it spicy and with white rice. Always great! And the whole staff also wears masks and sanitizes regularly from what I've seen! read more

For $10 for two "small" (ate 3 meals on the chicken lo mein alone) entrees on New Years Eve, you can't beat it. The cashier is young but really sweet and impressive, and the staff all were friendly and worked hard to please. A perfect place for take out dining. read more

My favorite Chinese place in Smyrna! Love the crab ragoon and the special house fried rice. Can't go wrong with any of the combos. Service is always fast. read more

They have the best prices of Chinese food in Smyrna.. They have $ 4.00 lunch specials and they have the best crab ragoons and wonton soup I have ever had.. The food is alway hot and fresh and its up the street from where I live... All in all I'm impressed and a I'm frequent customer read more

Horrible. Absolutely horrible. My family used to frequent this place long ago and it was always delicious food at a reasonable price but over the last couple years they have hit rock bottom. I truly don't know how they are still open. I work within walking distance and have tried it for lunch and have got food poisoning TWICE from this establishment... absolutely pathetic. Not to mention I had an 11 year old girl take my to go order for my business because apparently she is in charge of running the register..... seriously?! read more

Really good and great prices! I have had the chicken and broccoli and the chicken lo mein. The lo mein is the best that I have had from a take out place! read more

Standard mostly take-out Chinese set up but food is really good. They get your order ready quickly & use great, fresh vegetables. Portions are so large I usually get 3 meals out of one dinner! Schezuan Tofu & General Tso's Tofu are both yummy! They know me when I come in.... I'm the "Tofu one!" read more

Pretty good sweet and sour chicken. Never had a problem here.

Best Chinese this side of Smyrna. Been going there for many years, never disappointed.

I called and placed an order. I went to pick it up and was told I didn't call them. I showed where I called on my phone and spoke to someone. The woman still argued with me saying I didn't place an order. She was very rude and loud and I will never order from them again. This is absolutely ridiculous. You messed up and didn't make my food then argue with me and basically call me a liar. Seriously! Maybe they shouldn't have their child answering the phone. read more

I called ahead and it was ready in the 10-15 mins they quoted. Ordered the sesame chicken combo and the crab Rangoon. Love them both. Food is hot and fresh. The only place I grab takeout Chinese from in the LaVergne/Smyrna area. read more
