    Something really good
    Nicholas H.

    We ended up arriving within an hour of closing but the staff were friendly and the food was hot, fresh, and FAST! The restaurant was quiet due to being about closing time, but it was clean. I would absolutely recommend this location because the food portions were HUGE and it was absolutely TASTY! I would return again.

    Peking duck

    Decent spot! The menu is huge. I think it's a good mix of authentic Chinese and some American Chinese. The flavors of everything were great. Portion sizes are pretty large. We got a variety of different food from Peking duck to mushrooms to fish rice to honey walnut shrimp, and a couple more lol. Can't complain. Everything tasted great!

    Salt & pepper calamari

    Went to Monkey King for dinner. It was good, but not quite great. We ordered the roasted duck, combo bird's nest, Hunan beef, salt & pepper calamari, and salted fish eggplant with chicken. The standout dish was definitely the bird's nest--it had the best flavor overall. The duck was a bit too fatty, and the calamari was heavily battered and greasy. Service was just okay--nothing memorable.

    Hawaii Chicken + Rice
    Marcus L.

    Excellent food and lunch prices; you get a very filling meal for $14-15. Their Hawaii Chicken was the highlight of my experience. Though, I'd like to mention that this isn't the most authentic Cantonese cuisine. Nice interior as well, very cozy. Food: 4.5/5 Price: 5/5 Experience: 4/5

    Went in for lunch, great prices, and great portions! the general tso's could've been spicer but it was still good and tasted fresh. definitely one of the better chinese options in KCK.

    Starters and soups menu.

    Service was great, friendly and attentive. I've been desperately trying to find some of my Chinese comfort food favorites and unfortunately didn't find them here. If a dish isn't good, it's a shame when it's on the menu. The west lake beef soup was disheartening. It was a genuine travesty. The broth wasn't the right kind, the cut and texture of meat were wrong, there was no cilantro-- it looked like a greasy but tasteless egg drop soup. The coloring was off and looked like soy sauce had been added but the taste was all wrong anyway. The mapo tofu tasted like the lao gan ma sauce from a jar. My friend liked it. It taste fine, but it didn't taste like mapo tofu to me. The singapore style noodles were fine, but there weren't enough noodles.

    It was just ok. I got an order for pick up of the roasted duck and some mixed vegetables. They used to have a combo of mix and match meats on their to go ordering platform, but it's not there anymore. So the portion was pretty large, until I realized that this duck was just mostly skin and bones. Literally. Very fatty skin, and chewy, that could have stood to have been roasted for a while longer. The duck sauce given was so watered down, and nearly flavorful less. By the way, I was born and raised in Hong Kong. I grew up on kao ya (roasted duck). This was subpar.

    The food was served very slowly, and all the good dishes were already gone.The other dishes are suitable for American tastes.

    Great staff, amazing food, everything that came out of the kitchen was outstanding. Definitely will be back to this hidden gem!

    We've been in search of a new, go-to Chinese option, and had noticed the positive reviews racking up for Monkey King, so decided to swing by and give it a try! This place is AWESOME! So much bigger than it looks from the outside, there's ample seating for many more people than you'd assume from the relatively small-looking storefront in the non-assuming strip center. The restaurant was clean and attractive! We were promptly seated, and dictionary-sized menus were dropped in front of us! Holy smokes, this places makes every Chinese dish I've ever heard of, and then 400 more! We decieded (wisely!) to eat family-style, which this place is set up perfectly for! We ordered a couple appetizes, and three main dishes of differing styles, and everything was absolutely fantastic! Of particular note were two things: first, my Thai Iced Tea came with a LOVELY "Tea Bear" who slowly melted into the rest of my tea! It had incredible detail! Check out the picture! Second, we were trying to decide between a couple different appetizers, and when we asked our waitress which she preferred, she offered doing a 50-50 split! Fantastic!!! I love when establishments are open to being flexible to the benefit of the diner! All of our food was fantastic, served fast, fresh and hot, and was perfect to split family-style! We now have a new go-to Chinese restaurant! Food = 5/5 Facility = 3/5 Service = 4/5 Ambiance = 3/5 Value = 4/5

    Fantastic Chinese with more authentic offerings than the typical takeout place. (But the standards are all there too!)

    My new favorite restaurant in the area. I was so excited and relieved to find a Chinese restaurant…read morethat had all of my American favorites as well as an authentic menu. I finally got to try the Szechuan cold noodles that I was so excited for. The noodles were perfectly chewy and the sauce was so tasty! I also got to try the sweet potato pies. This was another dish I have been trying to find! They did not disappoint. The texture was perfect. The Szechuan spicy dumpling were good as well. I would have preferred a tad more spice and I do feel like I can get similar ones around town. The last thing I tried was the General Tso chicken. This was probably the best I have ever had. It was perfectly crispy but the inside was filled with fresh tender chicken. I have been craving this every day since I first tried it here. I cannot say enough about how amazing this place was. The staff was friendly and even helped pick out things we would like. It was clean and the food was incredible. Please check this place out because it deserves all the love.

    Spent about 3 months in the greater overland park area and will say this actually the more…read moreauthentic chinese food option in the area. It's got a huge menu of options. I got the dan dan noodles and fried green beans. Highly recommend both as their a staple at this location. They were on the slightly oilier side, but nonetheless delicious. Staff were friendly during peak business hours. Medium size dining area if you choose to sit down. Parking lot available.
