went to Mr King in Crystal River FL. Didn't hesitate since I have had it the past. don't know if it's under new Management. we hadn't been for quite awhile spent over $70 and I was so looking forward to it. my excitement didn't last very long, had bourbon chicken, sweet and sour chicken, and koa pong beef, well all of these had absolutely no seasoning. Added Duck sauce added soy sauce even salt and it didn't help. it's really bad to think that Panda Express makes better food for a lot less money and a lot more flavor. The sauces were flavorless. The fries dumpling wet a little better but still not very good. Won't be going back. I would look elsewhere if you want good Chinese food because you won't find it here. read more

Hello, friends and neighbors! It's The Restaurant Guy. Former restaurant owner from Cincinnati Ohio. There are not many Chinese restaurants around .. the good ones where you can sit down and enjoy a meal, the ambiance and the dining experience. So this is not about the cash and dash carryouts that are positioned everywhere throughout Citrus County. This one is Mr. King. Simply said, it's a good one! A very good one. Service ... menu selections ... specials ... portions ... presentation ... and the price. Ya can't beat it. That's my profession and personal opinion. Bon appétit. Bob read more

Tried for the first time. Worst quality Chinese I've ever attempted to eat. Fried rice over cooked. General Tao's over cooked, hard and tasted like old grease. A piece of mini corn tasted rancid. I threw entire $23 order in the garbage. Highly don't recommend. read more

HORRIBLE!!!!! Have had very good food from Mr. King so long ago and this is NOT the same food!!! I can't believe I wasted my money~!!!!

I love to eat here frequently. I've never been disappointed in my meal and the service is amazing. Kevin has been my waiter for several visits and he always has a wonderful smile. I highly recommend Mr. Kings for a wonderful, relaxing meal read more

This is a HORRIBLE place to eat!! The food was rotten!! Then I called them and politely told them and was told I needed to get the food out of the garbage and bring it in, which I did.gross!! Whwn I went in with the garbage bag he took it in the kitchen and went through it on the kitchen counter!! No wonder they get shut down by the health department ALL THE TIME!! read more

While traveling, it was my son's pick for dinner and he wanted Chinese food. Coming from North Jersey was skeptical on getting Chinese food along the gulf coast of Florida but was pleasantly surprised with the outcome. Picked Mr. King based on the high reviews and stopped in for a dine in dinner experience. When we say down we were given a bowl of fried noodles and there was sweet and sour sauce or mustard that was available for dipping. I ordered the General Tso's chicken which came with a soup and I choose the egg drop soup I was asked for a spice level for the chicken with and opted for spicey. My son order chicken lo mein and an egg roll. Meal portion was decent and the price was right based on the quality. The General Tso's chicken which usually comes with broccoli came with of some type of sugar snap pea, slicesld carrot, mushrooms, and baby corn which offered a unique spinoff compared to what I've usually gotten. Opted for the steamed white rice over fried rice. Food was served hot and fresh and was a tasty meal that did not break the bank. The dining room had ample seating and we were able to sit down at a table of our choosing. As stated, I was leary of going out for this type of cuisine but glad we went. It was a great meal. At the end of our dinner, we also had little chocolate cake / moose type of dessert which was tasty. read more

Went here on a rainy afternoon last week for lunch...it was pretty busy in there and I was seated and approached by the server right away...I placed my order for the lunch special and ordered the Chicken Chow Mein. The portion was very generous and it arrived hot and so fresh..it came with Fried Rice and Crab Rangoon and also a delicious cup of Won Ton soup. You can choose this soup for a .25 charge instead of the Egg Drop which is not a soup I care for..service was quick and efficient, she did a fantastic job taking care of the whole Restaurant... read more

Mr King - a plate of chinese food on a table - Chinese Near Me - Crystal River, Florida

Beware beware beware. If you're thinking about eating Chinese food from here..you risk getting food poisoning like my husband & I did. Just look up their violations as it just came out. Florida doesn't seem to check out these places. This place needs to get shut down ASAP. THE FOOD HAD BAD TASTE DIDNT EVEN FINISH IT. AND MY HUSBAND GOT VIOLENTLY SICK. WE WERENT THE FIRST I WAS TOLD. read more

I had an order of large Shredded Pork Szechuan but a total of 6 slivers of pork should not have cost $12.95. Shameful on Mr King. I realize costs are outrageous, but I would gladly pay double for a good meal. read more

Fantastic food. Order on line and pull up to the pick up window. Very convenient, excellent and great pricing.

We all wish the old owner ran the establishment but unfortunately the service was terrible and so was the food. We all got sick eating there

Their food is so fresh and delicious and it's ready quickly. They have a drive thru to make it nice and easy to get takeout too.

My hubby and myself always like to give a restaurant several chances for redemption if we've had a not so stellar experience. It could have been we visited on an "off" day. With that being said we decided another visit to Mr. King was in order. We choose to go at dinner time instead of the lunch meal as before. I'm telling you- I'm glad we did! We were seated at a different booth- this one had no lumpy and uneven cushions. We were closer to the kitchen, now some people may have minded it but I felt it was an opportunity for me to glance inside the kitchen to see the cleanliness and see how they handle the food. I found nothing out of the ordinary with the numerous glances I had while wait staff were going in and out. We ordered 2 appetizers. Chicken wings and Spring rolls. Both came out in a reasonable time frame and were nice and hot. Chicken wings were disjointed, so there were 4 drumettes and 4 wing joints that were fried. Very flavorful and juicy. This worked out well for us. Hubby loves the drumette while I love the wing joint. The Spring rolls weren't as successful. They were hot and the wrapping was nice and crisp- not greasy but the ratio of filling to wrapper was off. The filling seemed to be ground pork, cabbage, carrot, cellophane (clear) noodles and spices. Great flavor- just not enough of it! Our entrees came with a choice of soup : Egg drop or Won Ton soup. Hot and Sour soup had an upcharge of 75 cents. We both opted for the Hot and Sour soup. A nice, small bowl of soup came out piping hot and loaded with the usual vegetables, tofu, egg and thinly sliced pork in a thick brown broth topped with thinly sliced green onion. A decent Hot and Sour soup- only negative in my opinion was it could have been a tad more sour. My husband did point out that the chef probably tuned it down to cater to the palate of their older clientele. My hubby's choice of entree was Shrimp and Scallop Szechuan style served with fried rice. It had 6 shrimp and 2 large scallops in a red sauce with vegetables. His sauce had a hint of sweet and sour. He really enjoyed his meal. I opted for the Shrimp with Szechuan BBQ sauce. 8 large sauteed shrimp came out with a plethora of thinly juilenned vegetables and bean sprouts in a pleasing brown sauce. The vegetables were celery,carrot,onion,bamboo shoots and lots of mung bean sprouts. Very flavorful and healthy. I opted for the steamed white rice. Portions were very good. After our plates were taken away and before our check arrived- we were served 2 little complimentary pieces of cake. It was Tiramisu and very delicious, what a great way to end a meal. Of course - the obligatory fortune cookies came with our check. Our waiter was very personable and extremely knowledgeable. He answered all my questions pleasantly with a good attitude . All the staff were very accommodating to all the diners and the brisk drive in customers. A much better dining experience than our previous lunch time visit and reassures me that the women who told us they LOVED Mr. King were correct! We will definitely be back! read more

Always delicious and fresh at serving hours!!! We love the orange chicken and the crab Rangoon!!!

I dont know how its possible to get food two weeks apart and have a negative experience. We ordered the same take out food two weeks ago and it was very good, so much we went back today. We ordered house soup, wings, shrimp schezuan, and house lomein. A lot of broth in the soup, but not much of anything, house lomein hardly had any meat, and the shrimp was hard to find in schezuan. To top it off, it wasnt hot. Thinking we wont be going back. Oh and the total was over $56, not cheap. read more

The second time, we have either eaten in or take out a few months. Both times we were disappointed. Freshness and taste were both concerns. The service was good and the interior was ok. read more

The food is delicious and the staff is super friendly. I ordered the Steamed Mixed Vegetables and my husband ordered the Pepper Steak. Portions were fair as were the prices. I ordered take out. After I paid the nice lady said wait just a minute. She came back out with two pieces of Tiramisu!! What a pleasant surprise. We will definitely go back. read more

Mr King - Tiramisu - Chinese Near Me - Crystal River, Florida

We have been here for a few months and found Mr. King and now get take out about once a week. Having had Chinese food all over the world (Cathays, Peking Gourmet, Yen Yen and many others) I have to say Mr. King knocks it out of the park. Trying all their dishes one at a time and can only say WONDERFUL! Great food, top quality, fresh ingredients and well prepared. Can't wait until we can go there and sit down for a meal. read more

Went with our usual friends. New owners, I ordered the the duck, was over done, must have had it inside of a locker from time's gone by and tried to re heat it. Not using mr.King's recipe. Complained and looked at me and shrugged his shoulders. This was one of my favorite places to eat. Others said what they got was just okay. SUBPAR!! Sorry I won't go back anytime soon. Will be missed. read more

Excellent food, and a very friendly staff. I think it's hard to find better Chinese food anywhere in Citrus County. We've been a regular there for almost 2 years, and the neighbors I've said love it just as much. read more

Mr King - Shrimp chow fun - Chinese Near Me - Crystal River, Florida

While visiting family this past weekend we were treated to what they said was the best Chinese in the area. When we pulled up to this small strip mall I was skeptical. However they had great food. They serve traditional hot chinese tea, have a great selection of menu items, had ketchup for the kids, and the kids got pretty nice light up ball toys too! I had the general tso's chicken which was great. The spare ribs were tangy good. The portions were huge, we took home 3 to go plates. For 6 people (2 of which were kids) the bill was was around 80.00. We also were given a wedge of fresh pineapple with skewers, a nice bonus! read more

The staff was SO much fun! The servers joked with almost every table!! The food was excellent! Serving size was great, two people could have shared one dish if they were light eaters! I don't know if it was a usual thing for them, but we did get a free dessert!! Tasted a lot like a toffee coffee cake! Super delicious! Highly recommend this for any occasion! No matter if it's casual, for business, or a date! read more

Mr King - Chinese Near Me - Crystal River, Florida

Mr. King is a decent choice in this area. In a little strip mall it's not big inside and at 1:00 pm it was very crowded. They have standard fare and also my choice of spicy fare such as Kung Pao & Szechuan. Despite the crowd I was waited on right away and offered Oolong tea which I quickly accepted since our Florida weather is so cold lately. Because I was also getting hot and sour soup I may have passed on the tea if I knew it was an extra dollar charge-not a big deal, Just making you aware that it was offered as if it were complimentary. The combo I ordered came with crab Rangoon and egg drop soup. I don't eat either of those choices and the excellent waitress offered me a choice of hot and sour soup for a small up charge and a chicken wing instead of crab Rangoon for no extra charge. I ordered Kung Pao chicken extra XXX spicy! It turned out to be nicely spiced . The hot and sour soup was very delicious and I was very pleased at my meal when it came out. You do have a choice of white steamed rice or fried rice with your combo and it was served on the same plate as the entrée. I thought my chicken dish was perfectly prepared , the sauce was tasty and they also gave me chili paste on the side as I requested so I could make it as spicy as I wanted. I was pleasantly surprised at this place. I have lived in Florida over 23 years having been raised in New York and spent many years in the Boston area and I try not to compare things here to NY etc. as I hear some people do. I felt that right here in Crystal River Mr. Kings delivered a pretty good meal and a very fair price with excellent service to boot. Give it a try I think you'll like it . read more

I don't think I've ever set foot in this place, but I've eaten the food here so many times it's crazy. The food is great, the prices are fine, and if you ask for extra spicy, it comes nice and hot. The only drawback is that they give so few fortune cookies. The last time I ordered from here it was for 5, and we only got 2 cookies. read more

My belly hated me after eating here. That's my cue in the Chinese food world to never visit again. Still, I probably wouldn't have anyway because... The crab rangoons were empty, almost bone dry (see photo), ribs were a gross kind of fatty, and we were handed a lunch menu when we walked in at 3 and then told at 3:05 when we ordered that we would need to take our appetizers at the same time as our lunch since it was no longer lunch time? As a note, they apparently don't serve the pineapple slice apéritif with lunch, if anybody was looking forward to that. I sort of love pineapple, so I was. Two stars because it wasn't the worst I've had, but really far from the best. We didn't finish any of our meals or apps, left hungry, and won't be back. If this is the best Chinese in the area, then I give up. read more

I ordered some food from there last Saturday and it was not great. I ordered the BBQ ribs and they smelled terrible as soon as I opened the container. Never again read more

Best chinese in Citrus County! Large portions and excellent taste! We ordered six entrees and enjoyed all of them. Reasonably priced, especially for the amount of food received. Already going back for a second time in a week! read more

First time order from Mr. King. Went inside and placed a carry out order. Ordered the sweet 'n sour chicken dinner meal. Here's what I received - the chicken was tough and dried out, the fried rice was hard with no flavor and the egg roll was cold and gross. Needless to say, I will NOT be returning to Mr. King any time soon. Most of my dinner ended up in the trash. read more

Mr King - Sweet 'n Sour Chicken Dinner. Dried out chicken and hard rice. Yuck! - Chinese Near Me - Crystal River, Florida

My family and I live in the local area, this was our first visit. Very clean and friendly staff. What a wonderful experience. The wonton soup was the best we've ever had. The fried dumplings were spot on and perfectly cooked. Had a Singapore style (add curry) shrimp rice noodle dish she loved it, perfected curry. I had the shrimp with lobster sauce and our daughter had the general Tso's both was exceptional. Thank you and we will highly recommend and will on eat Chinese food here from now on. read more

Mr King - The owners car in the handicap spot right in front of the store - Chinese Near Me - Crystal River, Florida

Mr King is probably a 3.5 kind of place. They actually make very solid dishes. The Singapore Rice Noodles, the Triple Delight, Mongolian Beef, General Tso chicken - All tasty. I think their egg rolls and spring rolls are OK but for me the Crab Rangoon could use a bit more and tastier filling. The egg drop and hot sour soups are good. Usually plenty of food for the price and because we usually drive through to pick, almost always 15 minute. If I was to say down side it would be they can be a bit heavy on the oil. I am also a big egg foo young fan and they have not blown me away there preparation. These are nice folks and a good family. I support them and will be back often. I think they are the best choice in Crystal River... read more

We arrived for Sunday lunch and I was glad to see they still had lunch specials on weekends. The hot and sour soup was thick, slightly spicy and wonderful! This time, the chef was a bit heavy handed with the garlic on all the dishes from the Kon pow chicken to the schezwan chicken. Hubby ordered something that had green peppers so we planned to pay for it, since I could eat it later and ordered a moo shoo for him. At the end, our wAiter did not charge us for the extra lunch. We really wouldn't have minded paying for it since it was our mistake. Lot of food for a reasonable price. I'll go again. read more

Best chicken wings and the other Chinese is not offensive unlike the slop in inverness

This is by far one of my favorite places to go in CC! The staff is phenomenal! They're always sweet and attentive. Some even humorous! We've never had a bad meal there. Favorites include: general tao, Szechwan chicken, egg foo young, bourbon chicken, orange beef, and their seafood soup! Their fried rice, egg rolls, soups, and krab Rangoon are also good. Their lunch and dinner specials are great and call ahead is fabulous! read more
