Fast service. Very clean. Food is not greasy. Flavors are interesting and not over spiced. Cooked to my expectation. My only complaint is that when calling in an order and desiring to adjust a menu item I've been put on hold for every single question. This has happened each time I've ordered so it's not just one worker who is new. I do really appreciate the accommodation each time! And I'm grateful. It just takes a while to complete the order on the phone. read more

Hot, well done chicken wings are a winner here. Classic Chinese Take Out delivered with kindness and smiles. Sauces, ingredients, presentation are all fresh and This place reminds me of some of the best Chinese take out places I've visited around the country. The difference here is the degree of kindness and friendly disposition that pushes it up above most that I've visited. That and the unlimited, self serve condiments and fortune cookies don't hurt either. read more

I tried again, for the third time, to order a particular menu item and they didn't have it. Three strikes! You've lost a customer.

Good food, friendly staff. We enjoy pretty much everything we order! Kids like the crab ragoon, we all enjoy the egg rolls and fried rice.

Noticed this place last week & decided to give it a try. Very pleasantly surprised! The meat in the sesame chicken was good quality & it was perfectly sauced... not over-breaded or goopy. I also enjoyed the steamed dumplings. Definitely plan on going back & trying different dishes. read more

King Kitchen - Sesame chicken & steamed dumplings. Both tasty!!!!! - Szechuan Near Me - Arden, North Carolina

Good Chinese food especially Szechuan. Fast and friendly service. My choice for take-out Chinese.

I've always bragged about Kings kitchen. But today's experience put a bad taste in my mouth. Check your food before leaving. Make sure the order is correct. Because, Once you get home and you figure out it's not correct, They basically call you a liar. My mom ordered Orange and I ordered General. They ended up being both General. After 3 calls the restaurant made back to use. Nothing was done about it. But the lady, making the calls to us, said the owner was the one that bagged our food, and our order was correct. This statement is Flase. Check your food before leaving, Or your may end up with something you don't wanted. And they will not care. read more

Food: varied and delicious Service: quick and hot Ambiance: general and generic. We got take-out and was very good Price: $$ (typical but lots of bang for your buck) read more

Love this place! Staff is so welcoming always with a smile. Food is the best on Hendersonville Rd/Fairview is worth my drive. read more

King Kitchen - Front of the store - Szechuan Near Me - Arden, North Carolina

For what you intend Chinese food to be I guess this was ok. Service was fast and friendly but food was a little flavorless and a little too greasy. We got the vegetarian Lo Mein and felt like we were basically just eating bland noodles. Wished there were more veggies. Veggie spring rolls were better but still kind of bland. read more

King Kitchen - Vegetable Lo Mein - Szechuan Near Me - Arden, North Carolina

been going yo King Kitchen for over 8 years , love them and there food is always delicious and portions are great . reason only for the 4 star as to what they should get is a 5 is because 2 weeks ago we ordered 1 on-tray and a few egg rolls . my partner had after eating really bad indigestion and lasted the evening and i was fine till next morning and i vomited four times in the morning and a few in the afternoon and the next day I didn't want to eat anything so all this could've been a coincidence but the fact that we both got sick as telling me it was not a coincidence so I will try King again as I think they truly deserve a second chance. There are neighborhood takeout and they're very pleasant and hopefully it was just a coincidence and not the food. read more

This place has the best crab ragoons and spring rolls. And it's always fresh out of the fryer The people are nice and they have cute kitten pictures everywhere. It's really just a take out place. read more

I'd give this place zero stars if I could. I ordered their mei fun before and it was incredibly bland and oily. Their dumplings were super rubbery, which is REALLY weird. Like how can dumplings be rubbery unless uh, they froze it overnight and cooked it straight out the freezer without even defrosting. Gross. Sadly, I know this restaurant won't be affected by my review since there is literally no competition for Chinese take-out in South Asheville. However, if you are in the mood for quality Asian food, drive 2 miles down and order from Pacific Pagoda (it's a Chinese/Japanese fushion restaurant so they do have plenty of Chinese dishes on their take-out menu). The staff there speaks English, Chinese, and Fujianese fluently. For those of you lucky enough to be in West Asheville, I highly recommend take-out from China Taste. The owners of China Taste relocated here from New York (where the competition for quality Chinese food is tough), so you know they've got experience with quality. read more

Simplistic carry out place. But the food is good as vegetarian it has a decent selection and the flavors were all delightful. I would recommend and I go back frequently. read more

This evening is the first time that I have tried King Kitchen. I was favorably impressed. I got General Tso's Chicken to go. My wife is out of town for several days. I suspect that I will find my way back to King Kitchen before she gets back. read more

We paid over $2 extra for noodles instead of rice. There was only an extremely scant portion of noodles. The first photo is an example of 3 large pieces (OUT OF MANY) with (NO CHICKEN) inside!!! Just large clods of dough. The following photos show a before and after cutting into a large clod of nugget. It is nearly all heavy thick chewy coating with a sliver of chicken!!! I don't know if I am more sick from this nasty food or livid for paying for this rubbish! PHOTOS DO NOT LIE! SAVE YOUR MONEY! Nearly two full meals pitched straight into the trash! $15 loss plus gas and time! read more

Always spot on! This is my family's favorite in the area. Speedy and courteous service make this a must!

My wife and I have been searching for "the" Chinese food place when we stumbled across King Kitchen. I must say, it is "the" best. They are generous with the servings, there's not too much breading on the fried meats, and their staff is friendly. I mean, what can I say, it's a hole in the wall. But it's awesome. Chinese food is on of the most American things you can eat. 'Merica. read more

I love the tofu and veggies dish. Good flavor with ample sauce. I buy extra and use it for lunches during the week. It warms up well.

I love hot and sour soup. Some places don't make it well, this place does! Nice and spicy!! I also got schezwan chicken. I liked how it was not breaded just in some great sauce. read more

Absolutely our go to place for Chinese on the south side. Crisp and crunchy spring rolls, their other rolls are a bit greasy for me so I get the smaller ones. Great chicken chow mein, my favorite, just enough spice general taos chicken,and their dumplings.... yummy. Worth a trip to this place for take out read more

By far my favorite Chinese food place I have found in the Asheville area. Their tofu is so delicious and they have nailed their sauces. Not greasy and delicious every time I go. Love the consistency this place has, which a lot of other Chinese food places lack. I will always come to this place to get my Chinese food fix. read more

This is a followup to my review of August 2016. Since our first visit, we've been back for take-out maybe 8-10 times. Very impressed with the consistency and the amazingly reasonable prices compared with some of the grossly overpriced Asian buffets in town (not naming any names). I usually get the cashew shrimp (minus the mushrooms) and the Kung Pao Shrimp was good as well and carried a kick. My girlfriend is sold on the Szechuan Shrimp. Recommended for no-frills take-out. read more

Horrible. Hot and sour soup had no sour to it. Garlic sauce was very sweet. Don't go!

best Chinese food around, always fresh, delicious, great service

I love their food. However, I wish they would be open when they say they are open. I have come by numerous times at 4:30 and 5:00 and they are closed. I have even seen multiple people go to the door to find it locked. Just seems bad for business. read more

I generally get the cashew chicken and chicken fried rice and they are both reasonable.The seafood is good, but not amazing due to lots of filler items. The cashew chicken has a little too much celery in it as well for my taste, but its still not bad. The price could use some tweeking on the seafood specifically off the top of my head, but there are lots of cheaper alternatives. This is always a quick place to go in a pinch. Lots of flavor, and good service. read more

BEST FOOD EVER, iEat Here All The Time And iAlways Will. The Sesame Chicken Is Always So Tender And Juicy And The Shrimp Is Cooked To Perfection. The Lady At The Register Is Soo Soo Sweet And Kind. HIGHLY RECOMMEND PLACE!! It May Be Small But It's Big In Flavor!! read more

This place used to be very good but no more it either changed owners or cooks any way this place just sucks big time. Do not waste your money on this nasty tasting food. read more

Good Chinese food for basic dishes like cashew chicken, general tso, dumplings, honey chicken, and beef pepper main dishes. We had a Chinese food feast. Fast and friendly service! read more

#1 food and customer service BUT they are closed WAY TOO often. Number One China in Black Mountain must have me spoiled bc they are open 7days a week!!!! Also Really GREAT FOOD AND FAMILY TO ME read more

Favorite chinese takeout in the area. Their health scores are always high, they usually take only 10 minutes to complete my orders, and their staff have always been friendly. Took me a while to find a solid takeout restaurant but I'll stick with them from now on. read more

King Kitchen - Szechuan Near Me - Arden, North Carolina

This place is my new favorite takeout Chinese restaurant in Asheville. The service was friendly, the prices were great, the portions generous and the food was delicious! I ordered the hunan mixed vegetables and my friend ordered the general tso chicken. Both were wonderful! Glad to have stumbled on it. read more

Excellent food! Clean and good service, great prices. Varieties of food and soup. Good attention. Parking.

This has to be one of my favorite chinese places in the Asheville area. The food is affordable, fast, and absolutely delicious. An issue I have frequently at certain places is that the rice and meat (whichever you fancy for an entree) is usually dried out, but not here! The steamed rice is cooked to perfection, and the meat; mouth-watering. The staff are always so friendly and kind, and that is definitely a plus that pulls me back every time. If you're in South Asheville, stop by. read more

Got General Tso chicken...80% of it was bread and 20% meat. Just...why? Do they think we don't notice?!

Great prices and great cheap Chinese food. It's the Americanized Chinese food, but a great stop if you're craving cheap Asian. We tried the sesame chicken and garlic chicken. I'd say they were pretty standard for these dishes, with egg rolls and fried rice when you do the combo. Super quick also!! read more

Pretty solid chinese food restaurant for takeout. They earn points from me for nailing one critical thing - the rice. Their steamed rice has consistently been moist and well-cooked. I can't stand when I get dry inedible rice from a Chinese restaurant, so thank goodness King Kitchen has good rice, the base to all food! I recommend the Mongolian Beef. It has a nice balance of sweetness and savory, with zucchini, onions and bell peppers. read more

The food here is really delicious, better than most asian restaurants around the area. While there are tables for you to sit at, this is more of take out place. They have a wide selection of different types of food to choose from with the various types of meats, and vegetarian options. I have been ordering out from this place since they first opened and have not tried anything that I have not liked. I enjoy ordering from here than going out to a buffet, because here they don't make the food until you order it, so you know that is going to be fresh. Also keep this in mind when ordering, they serve a big amount; enough to feed two people with one order. So be prepared to have leftovers. read more
