I would not rate this place at all to be honest im not trying to be mean but that place needs to be condeemed bull dozed down. It's dirty inside the food is the nastiest food I ever ate I will never eat it ever again they should bring the guy on hells kitchen in there see what he says. read more

The food is bland and I'm pretty sure they served us the wrong thing we ordered the number four combo which has chow mein egg foo young and sweet-and-sour chicken. The egg foo young looks like a rolled up omelette and the chow mein is not even close to chow mein. It's grey and has zero chow mein noodles and the pork looks and taste like ground beef. and the sweet-and-sour chicken was brown not red and it was very soggy and bitter read more

This war wonton soup was better than the other restaurant close by. Less than $9 and it was delicious. I also ordered the #2 and the noodles were made how I like them. I'll definitely be coming back. Great price on everything. read more

King Wah Restaurant - War wonton. - Chinese Near Me - Gridley, California

Not impressive on the outside, but definitely the best and most reasonable Chinese lunch menu available in Gridley. Ambiance isn't anything to write home about, but service is great and owners are lovely people...I recommend you try it! read more

This place needs to be shut down! It's filthy dirty in there.It is so gross, even the tables feel like grease on them.And the kitchen is disgusting.I can't bring myself to eat there in that filthy place read more

WOW!!! I gotta say I just found a hidden gem! The food tastes as good as my favorite Chinese restaurant in Sacramento, who's chef has been doing it for over 60 years and Hong Kong trained. It's like it's the same cook. Authentic Chinese cuisine at its best. Please come check this place out and support their business. Service is A+. Food is A+ and I love the atmosphere too!! The haters need to quit being snobs!! read more

Tried to give this place the benefit of the doubt and regret giving them a shot. Oil tastes old, food is bland especially the hot and sour soup. It was weirdly thick and had no 'sour' flavor. Egg rolls had way too much batter. Pot stickers were mid. Such a disappointment not sure how they stay in business. Tried to support local but will never return. Lady was nice though. read more

Ugh.... I could not even eat the food after the tried buying it there. They need to hire a cleaning company.

The food is okay, it could use some improvements but for the price it is good enough. The restaurant itself isn't the best looking place, it is pretty chill though. The service was great and everyone was nice there. read more

I will never go back to this place whatsoever, makes me sick inside this place, they never clean their restaurant, dirty floors, dirty ceilings, flies in the windows, kitchen is very disgusting!! They have never cleaned this place in years.... read more

It looks so dirty on the inside. I do not recommend. The food was ok but my hunger went away after u saw the inside.

The restaurant is authentic, has generous portions, and affordable. The food is great! The owner provides great service! Definitely worth a visit. read more

The absolute best Chinese I have ever had. So authentic! The chow mien with crispy noodles it's just so amazing. I can't find anything like it anywhere else. read more

Only one visit but pretty disappointing. Got one of their combos and the chow mein seemed overcooked and noodles too soft. The egg roll was ok. Prices are inexpensive so giving benefit of doubt. read more

I went here with a group of co-workers, while in the area on business and was pleasantly surprised by the service, food quality and price. The food was freshly and skillfully prepared and Susan (female owner) was exceptionally friendly and kept checking on us. The place may appear a little dated, but do not judge a book by the cover. read more

Family owned business great taste big portions I've never had a better egg flour soup besides here

I wanted to love it. Especially since their only competition is pricey and has bad service. But, it's dirty. Even if the food was great (and it was decidedly NOT), this place was filthy. Think worst of the worst Kitchen Nightmares episode dirty. Then, double it. We couldn't even eat it. After a few bites we threw it all away. It was awful. Worse than microwave frozen chinese food. read more

Great food just love the service food is great can't believe I haven't tried it before read more

See all

I love the lady who owns this place. She's so sweet and always throws in extra hot oils and egg roll sauce for free.

The food was outstanding. I think some people get turned off because when you walk in the door you can see the kitchen and yes it looks like a disaster. But....I think that many good old school Chinese family owned restaurants probably don't look much better, I just can't see it. The dining area looked clean but I took takeout so I did not inspect. Again, the food was outstanding, I am local and will return. read more

I suspect that they do not use MSG because at least then there'd be some sort of flavor. The food here is bland. The BBQ pork was tinged darker than what I am used to seeing, so perhaps it was a little on the older side. The folks who run the business speak Cantonese, and I overheard a conversation about whether something was fresh or not. What they were referring to, I'm not sure. I only caught bits and pieces from where I was seated. This is Gridley, and there really isn't much around in terms of options. If I had a say, I would not eat here again. A star for having A/C and a small parking lot. It's freakin' hot out. read more

Ok, alot of this may just be nostalgia but I have alway enjoined this particular restaurant. Maybe it is becuase I have been coming here since I was around 10yrs, I'm 45 yrs now. But I still enjoy it.. The Resturant. The food is hot, basic, tasty & what you would expect from an old school Chinese restaurant. The decor is also basic & what you would expect of an old school Chinese restaurant. It is family owned & operated & they staff is always so very polite and freindy. I have lived in Reno for the last 20 yrs but was raised in Gridley and I still have family here so I visit atleast a couple of times a year. My grandmother used to live in the cute litte green house across the street from the resturant before it brunt down in the late 90's.. When I'm in town I always stop in & order the number 6, Love the MarFar. The owner Sue always remembers me & asks about my family. It's almost a tradition at this point. I'll keep coming back as the food is good and it reminds me that some things should never change & this little plave will always be a good reminder of home & a great childhood... read more

Always order San Francisco style!!! They are family owned, very kind, the best Chinese in town.

Good food! But I suggest taking it to go. I was very disappointed with the other chinese food place in Gridley, so we are glad we found some chinese food with good flavor. And we don't have to pay an arm and a leg for it. I have only tried the chicken chow mien and the sweet & sour chicken. The sweet & sour chicken was typical, but I really liked the pan fried noodles and seasoning in the chicken chow mien. It was very close to the chicken chow mien at Tong Fong Low in Oroville, which is a compliment. The building is really dingy and dirty looking, so I recommend taking food to go :) read more

Hate to say it but the food has gone down hill. Really nice owners and they try their best but sometimes its best to call it quits.

Very friendly couple that runs this restaurant, every time I come in they are both so quick to greet me and are always smiling. Their gratitude and friendliness make the visit all worth it. read more

What can I say, I love this place. A few important things to note. This is not a fancy place nor is it real Chinese food...It just tastes good! The family that owns the place is always polite. Inside is nothing fancy. I grew up eating this food and it has always been consistently good. If you expect real chinese food like that from China town or an upscale Chinese..this is not your place. Again, I give it 4 stars because it is always consistently good. For Gridley that is a big thing, and it has been in Gridley for well over 20 years. That says a lot. read more

Very nice people from Hong Kong own the place. After living in Connecticut for years and tasting the poor excuse for Chinese food there, this place was amazing. My husband and I have been back twice and will continue to return. I agree with the other reviewers that said this place isn't fancy...but who cares, the food's amazing. My favorite dish is the San Fran style chow mein. read more

The Chinese food is okay. A little greasy for my liking. Always quick with getting you your food.

The food was so good! It wasn't heavy or greasy or cheap tasting. I especially liked the egg drop soup, it was different from what I've had in other restaurants. The Mar Far chicken was great as was the sweet & sour pork. I'll be back ASAP! I can't wait to try the chow mein! read more

The food here is ALWAYS fresh and healthy with a cook who learned his skills in China. Best Chinese food I recommend for the Gridley, CA area. :-0)) read more

Absolutely positively the WORST Asian food I've ever eaten. First visit in was bad but figured we'd give them another go around a year later. Nope still terrible. read more
