5 for speed of service, 1 for food quality. MSG in all of their dishes. The other review about high blood pressure is dead on. This food isn't healthy if anyone cares. Restaurants use salt and MSG to make you mor ethirsty so you buy the drinks where the profit is highest. You can get better food at the same price at any of the local Vietnamese restaurants. Eggrolls and Fried chicken have high amounts of MSG. Can't beat how fast they make food. The party trays are all freshly made. Cash only read more

Wow, I been here quite a few times, but this is my first time yelping. What I recommend: 1) Eggrolls- Their red sauce is delicious :) 2) Har Gaw (dim sum) -humongous compared to nice dim sum restaurant and tastes even better! 3) Shu Mai (Dim sum)-humongous compared to nice dim sum restaurant and tastes even better! 4) Noodle soup-hearty; good broth I give them 4 stars b/c their food is decent and you get your bang for your buck. I really like #1-3. Give it a try! read more

Don't know what the hype is all about.... Came here on a Sunday for dinner and everything was literally gone. Got some LEFTOVER: shrimpball egg roll chicken wing meat pie Do dim sum left. Customer base is non-Asians when I was there. Felt awkward being a Asian customer there. Haha =P Needless to say, had a bad dinner there that night. read more

If you're looking for a bunch of eggrolls to buy and freeze the rest, this is a good place. I haven't tried anything else so this review is for my three visits to pick up veggie and pork eggrolls, both of which are fairly tasty and not too greasy, especially for eggrolls. The service is okay but not great. I think they get slammed with orders for dozens (sometimes hundreds) of eggrolls and they cannot keep up. I suggest pre-ordering, if they happen to answer the phone. Even after I ordered for a specific pick-up time, I still had to wait around 20 minutes. Parking can be very challenging if you go during busy hours. For 24 eggrolls, I paid a few cents shy of $20. They did come out fresh and super hot though. read more

The eggrolls and fried chicken are phenomenal! I got catering and ordered them ahead of time, and they called me when I didn't show up on time. Some posts said they would make you wait so I gave them a time 15 minutes before I knew I could make it. They were on time! When I got there I was so hungry I ordered some wontons, and they had to heat them up. They weren't very good, but it's a) probably because it was the end of the day, and b) they aren't called King Wonton, are they! I was eating the leftoever eggrolls and chicken the next day, and still awesome! read more

My mom hates these egg rolls (she says there is too much cabbage in them), but they're always a hit at parties. Got an order of 25 egg rolls and they were quickly devoured on the way to the picnic! Can you believe my friends who have no control of themselves?? The sauce tasted a little off when I ordered them, but the egg rolls sure made up for them! Would order again!! And the lady was nice. read more

This place has long been my go to place for soup. Wonton Noodle soup which is very good and filling. Recently there has been an odd odor to the shrimp (they usually put one large shrimp in the soup) so I have asked them to not include the shrimp. Their Dim Sum is also well prepared and reasonably price. The people working here are very friendly. I have asked about their sandwiches but from what I could understand from the young lady working there they no longer make them even though they are posted as menu item. There is a parking lot associated with the building but the road is very narrow so one must be careful navigating down the parking lot. read more

Preordered and prepaid for Super Bowl 5 days in advance. Received a confirmation for my order. They oversold with a line out the door and around the corner that I waited on for an hour. When I finally got to the counter, I was told it would be another 30 minutes for my order while the kitchen caught up. They continued to take and fill DoorDash and walk in orders. Maybe shut that down so you can fill orders for people who planned ahead and paid in advance?!. They were completely unprepared for the orders that were placed IN ADVANCE, did not communicate AT ALL to the people on their massive line and were completely unapologetic for their failure to serve their customers (again who had ordered IN ADVANCE). When I asked for a refund, I was told to call their online ordering app (Chow Now) the next day. Upon calling Chow Now, they haven't been able to reach the restaurant for them to confirm/approve the refund and I was asked to wait 24 hours for them to get back to me. Horrible experience. Never again. read more

Always fast and food is always good. They also have dimsum. I tried their pork shumai dimsum in a party tray and it's delicious worth it.

Watch out! They LOVE to over charge customers. This is the second time it happen and I am not going back again. They said oh you paid with credit card so no refund. read more

Half empty Buffet, food warm not not, old food and restaurant empty. kind if says it all

I haven't been here in years but decided to come in to buy some food for family. 1st off they are NO LONGER tied to the Orignal King Egg Roll on Berreyessa & King and half their menu is no longer available. No more soups. They have maybe 10 entrees to chose from. They now go by the name Royal King Egg Roll, but didn't update their signage. I wish I had taken the extra few minutes drive to Berreyessa. The egg rolls are okay but nothing compares to the Original! read more

Always good comfort Chinese food. Grew up on these eggrolls and still loving it. Glad they have several branches that I can stop by depending where I am at. read more

The taste and quality of their egg rolls never fails. Super crispy on the outside and stuffed with a well balanced mix of meat and veg on the inside. I had a bag of their frozen egg rolls in my freezer for well over a year, but when I deep fried them it was like they were made fresh that day. Great egg rolls and dim sum. read more

I went here to get roasted duck and pork but was told the station for this has been closed. They are no longer selling roast duck, pork or bbq pork. I got the combo lunch to go. Fried rice was good chow menu a bit greasy broccoli beef was too salty, orange chicken was ok But the portions are very small esp the 2 sides. The King Eggroll express in Morrill portions are much bigger. Eggrolls at $1.25 each was also ok not much meat and too much cabbage. Fried chicken drumsticks was super small for $1.10 each is too expensive. Overall food subpar not really great. read more

King Eggroll - Vietnamese Near Me - San Jose, California

The food is good. The service is good! I wish they would bring back the Korean BBQ and Shrimp tempura. I got those ones only twice, years ago. read more

Love this place and always have, must be the msg in the food? You have to go in early if you want any of the steamed items, by the end of the day they are sold out. They only make so much so when they sell out they are done. They take credit cards now, it use to be cash only. I never have been disappointed in any of the food here and give a recommendation for the fried chicken wings. They are huge, most likely hormone filled too, but they are fried perfectly crispy. Service is fast!!! I ordered 40 eggrolls and it was boxed and ready to go in 15 minutes. Talk about speed!! read more

I have been a long lasting customer here and would normally state this place is a solid 5 star but not today. The general-mango helped me first stated that the dim sum I wanted want there like normal since I always order a large quantity. Told him I am willing to wait with him also apologizing not even some of my items were even out since it wasn't busy all day. Then he looked at the back and asked a lady and told me they couldn't make my order since they where busy. So I was only able to get 1/3 of all the items I wanted. They didn't even answer my call like I usually do to get it ready for less wait time to alleviate bodies because of COVID times. What happened yo we will survive dim sum time 2p? read more

I only go here for their fried shrimp balls, which are soooo good. Besides that, the rest of the food is OK but usually parking is super limited and there's always traffic to get here. I tried calling ahead for take out but they said all the food I was ordering would be ready and I didn't need to order ahead. For context, I ordered a quart of rice, a quart of chow mein, some shrimp balls and egg rolls. Well, I get there and order and had to wait 15 minutes extra. Not a big deal but I was expecting guests and was hoping to pick up the food and go. read more

had issues with ann online order and paulette and the team immediately got to work and started taking care of it. i work in customer service as well so i know it can be tedious to deal with these issues but they did not hesitate to take care of me and it was very fast and easy. thank you. read more

Great for a quick bite. The food options are mostly greasy so expect to wash your hands from the oils if you sit down at the many tables they have in here. I'd say the food here delicious and inexpensive! read more

I used to really love king eggroll and I haven't been here for awhile but I decided to get a party tray of 24 that came out to be $29.50 w tax. It was for a class potluck and I was really excited to eat it but once I took a bite it was so mushy inside to the point where is was so hard to eat. I still managed to try to eat it because I didn't want it to go to waste but after wards I threw up and it was so disgusting. Now I have a stomach ache because of this read more

King Eggroll - The insides of the eggrolls are so soggy now and mushy ew - Vietnamese Near Me - San Jose, California

Owners that pronounce their restaurants as "number one" or "the best" have a reputation to uphold. Names like these often come across as a challenge to people like myself. Are they really the king of all eggrolls? Offering rolls of crisp, golden, and tantalizing flavors gives the impression that the Chinese eggrolls from King Eggroll may just be some of the best in San Jose. Too many other eggrolls are plain, overcooked, undercooked, too small, too big, but the ones at King Eggroll are just right. Each bite creates an audible crunch. The flakes that either stick to the lips or fall on the chin are almost always stuffed in the mouth with impatient fingers. Nothing is wasted with these eggrolls. The flakiness for each eggroll lends that little something extra that just seems to make people eat more than one. It may be comical, but it is not surprising to find people who carry around one eggroll in each hand. King Eggroll offers other delicacies like fried shrimp in a thick golden-brown batter. The shrimp are tender, as is the breading. The sweet red sauce lends a nice augmentation to the shrimp, as well as the eggrolls, though the sauce is a common favorite found in many other restaurants. Dim sum - an assorted Chinese breakfast - is also offered at this establishment, but since the eggroll is the star of the show at this restaurant, so it would seem unfair to showcase much else. With as many Chinese restaurants as there are in San Jose, we have our pick of which restaurant suits each of our needs. However, here is the challenge. King Eggroll is now rated the king of all eggrolls in my book. This picky eggroll Examiner has found her favorite and invites everyone else to test her rating. If someone would like to challenge this opinion, I am more than happy to hear suggestions. If you think you know of a better eggroll than King Eggroll's, point me in the right direction. read more

I paid 16 dollars For one combo plate an egg roll & shrimp ball no drink cs this was me bieng cheap. taste would be worth the price but the quality of meat and produce was shite. None of the orange "chicken" in this picture was eaten yet. That was all served to us ..to be fair there is about two pieces I have yet to dissectwill not going back soon read more

King Eggroll - Vietnamese Near Me - San Jose, California

The food here is amazing , especially their egg rolls. The surrounding to this place is very busy and a lot of traffic, parking is difficult to find at times. I'm giving this place a 4 star because of the service. We called and ordered a tray of 30 egg rolls about 2 hours before pick up time. We specially said we would pick up at 12pm. We arrived at around 12:05 and our order was not ready yet, which is confusing because they are known for egg rolls so you would think they'd have some ready at all times. However, when a phone order is placed it's expected that your order is ready on time. Anyway, I continue coming back every now and then because the egg rolls are just that good! read more

Great Egg rolls! We always buy extra to reheat in the toaster oven and they are just as good fresh! Seems clean every time I go in for take out. I haven't tried their other food but the egg rolls are so good! read more

They don't open at 7 I just went today and It Was "open" they only had egg rolls and shrimp balls. I asked for chow main and fried rice. The lady told me she can only do the large side not the combo. She told me they open at 10:30. They should specify that on the website so people don't waste gas and time going there in the morning!!! read more

ZERO STARS. Ordered food for a company and right when i ordered off the phone the lady told me to hurry up bc they are busy(the call was less than 5 minutes) I had the lady repeat the order to me 3X bc she was talking to fast and she was not understanding that she was not talking clearly. I'm a patient person and i know how it gets when it is busy. Then when our driver went to pick up the food and brought it to the company , they messed up our order by giving us the wrong party tray, And when speaking over the phone to complain i had even asked the lady if she wanted the fried chicken back and she said no its ok you can keep it and pick up the eggroll since that was there mistake . If we had to pay for the eggrolls then i wouldnt have sent my driver the 2x and been done there. But no INSTEAD when my driver got there they either wanted us to pay for the eggrolls or there chicken party tray back. And like i said if they wanted the chicken back i would have sent it with my driver the 2X they went there. Horrible service we never had issues ordering there before until now. read more

You have to try their egg rolls and their shrimp balls! I get them for most of our family parties or work potlucks! They're always a hit!

Always best eggrolls in the bay area thus far! Their red-bean-filled sesame balls are sooo crispy, much better than the mushy ones I get at the k-market. read more

I am so fortunate that I live so close to one of their two locations. They cane through for us today my with these cute little party trays for dinner. A medium tray of egg rolls, small broccoli beef and small fried rice was perfect for our family tonight. They also came through for me with a full on order of fried rice, shrimp balls, and chicken chow mein to be ready at 7am for a work party! I needed it before heading to work. Thank you so much!Being open early really saved me! read more

My go to place for hot fresh eggrolls, and fried shrimp balls, they have chicken, pork and veggie eggrolls, they have dim sum, noodle soups, bbq pork, roast duck, steam chicken, springroll, chowmein, fried rice and other Chinese dishes available. We are never disappointed whenever we order their eggrolls. The food is awesome fresh, they do get soggy after a few hours but that's normal with all fried goods. read more

Where's the BEST EGGROLLS in town?! KING EGGROLL! I went to Pioneer High and the best thing to bring to class parties or to badminton practice was King Eggroll's piping, hot fresh EGGROLLS! Other Vietnamese and Chinese fast food places (I'm looking at you, Lee's) pale in comparison to King Eggroll when it comes to the crispy fried goodness! Why do their eggrolls reign royalty? (1) Eggroll length is as long as your hand and half the width of your hand! DANG! That's a might gigantic eggroll! Unless you got tiny midget hands then double that. (2) Affordable for the quantity and quality. That sucker is packed with meat and veggies! Every bite is gushing with savory flavor, and the crispy flour wrapper is perfectly crunchy. (3) Bomb sweet 'n sour sauce. It never feels like there's enough sauce because you have to drown that fried sucker in that sweet sauce mm. Some inconveniences are that parking is terrible and they take cash only, but you have to realize you're in a very Vietnamese, Asian-oriented area where it's immensely populated and many places only want your cold, hard dough. Coming to the Story/McLaughlin Area and treating it like it's supposed to be some 5 Star Michelin restaurant-- you're going to be severely disappointed haha and the service around here is notoriously "Asian" aka non-existent. So just go with the flow! Their other items of Chinese foods, dim sum, and BBQ are also very tasty! I'd recommend coming here for take-out then going along your merry way :) Love this place, love the employees (it's family-owned!), and LOVE THEIR EGGROLLS! read more

UPDATE: The egg rolls are still laced with crack. These babies are even more magical fresh out of the fryer. It was a busy Saturday, I decided to stop by on a whim. The kitchen was turning out tray after tray of egg rolls. I scored three fresh egg rolls and an order of fried shrimp balls. What appeared to be the dim sum line was too crowded. I was too hungry to wait. On my way out I noticed the smoothie counter. I ordered a strawberry smoothie with bubbles. The person that made my drink was very generous with the tapioca I spent the morning chewing away. The shrimp balls were ok. Nothing special, I'd probably forgo these and get more egg rolls. To share...maybe. read more

Fried chicken is bomb. You should try it. 5 stars for their fried chicken, fried rice, and noodles. I went earlier today and they had a long line. It took about 10-15 mins for me to get my food. Also parking may be limited. When I TRIED entering the automatic doors did not open so I had to walk around. read more

King egg roll? YUM!! So I have a huge soft spot for egg rolls, loved them as a child and maybe even more now as an adult. So my expectations were high for this place. I remember the first time I came here. I stood outside the building thinking to myself, "king" huh? It better be good if they're going to call themselves that. And they sure own up to their name. This is a MUST stop for me every time I'm in San Jose! I don't care what anyone says, they have the best egg rolls ever!! The meat to vegetables to wrap ratio is pure perfection. It may sound a little silly to be so nuts over some egg rolls but have you ever made egg rolls? I've attempted to make the perfect egg roll for years now and there's always something off about it. It either has too much salt, too little salt, too much meat, not enough noodles.....Something is always off. I'm a total meat lover but when it comes to something like an egg roll, I prefer mine to be balanced. That is why, I'm giving King Eggroll 5 stars. The size, the flavor, texture... it's PERFECT! You guys truly have theee BEST egg rolls I've ever had. King Eggroll please share your recipe and teach me how to roll. If not, can you please make a location in Sacramento!? So if you live in San Jose, lucky you! And if you haven't been here, definitely give them a try! For .85cents an egg roll, they won't disappoint and they might even be one the best things you've ever eaten! =) read more

In this day in age it's way too easy to take credit card payments. It seems that they are up to something. Do the right thing King Egg Roll. read more
