Do not eat here! just ordered food from here for the first time and the last time. The egg roll tasted like a deep fried dirty sock. The combo fried rice(House Special) was gross. The shrimp was flat as if someone had stepped on it. The chicken was unrecognizable as it looked more like strips of chopped up worm. The barbecued pork was the hot pink kind and that right there screams«NASTY!» The lo mein was tasteless and the teriyaki beef sticks tasted like old meat. Based on the fact that the place was empty, it’s quite possible they are using expired food because they don’t sell enough to keep inventory fresh. I wouldn’t even eat this food if it was free.

Maybe I can see why they have only 3 stars now. This was a really good place with good service not so much anymore. We used to order from the 2 – 3 times per week, well no more! Last time we ordered a beef Lo-mein without veggies and it came with veggies. My daughter tried to eat but the ratio of veggies was ridiculous. We threw it in the trash. We didn’t call because we were not going to go back for a new one. Today we were going to place an order and I mentioned the incident. They tell me they can’t do anything not even a discount. I’m sorry but when you are dealing with a customer of YEARS you at least tried to make concessions. I was still talking and she hung up the phone when I told her I didn’t want to ordered any more. I called again in the most polite way to tell them that’s not how you treat a loyal customer. She cut me off and told«thanks for your business and hung up». Well, guess what I hope you enjoyed my business because no more! I’ll make sure that my friend don’t order either.

The restaurant looks very unassuming from outside. It’s in a small strip mall, and at the time of writing this review, half of the lighted name sign wasn’t working. Inside, it’s very spartan, with a few simple tables and an open kitchen. But don’t be fooled by the simplicity. Their food is the real deal! This is not your standard Chinese place that only serves sweet Americanized orange chicken type food. Food here packs some real flavors and heat. Their dinner combos are fantastic! For about $ 7, it’s an entrée with chicken fried rice and egg roll. Enough food for 1.5 meals.

Really good Chinese place. They are fast and reasonably priced. They always give plenty of extra sauces and their rice is delicious. Eaten here quite a few times.

I think they just change the ower .The roman noodle was too wet may be it worth for the price.

What a HORRIBLE experience! To start it all off, the place was filthy. It looked as if it hadn’t been cleaned in years. Then I was in line, then someone walked in after me and the rude woman behind the counter helped them before helping my party! Apparently wherever she is from they have no manners. Then I tried, and I say tried because we eventually left with nothing, to order the orange chicken combo. It’s Orange Chicken with Chicken Fried Rice. Well, my kids don’t like their foods combined so I asked the woman to please put the chicken on the SIDE of the fried rice, and not on top. She explained that she does not know how to do that! after a short back and forth trying to explain the difference between«on top» and«on the side» she did not understand so I decided to take my business somewhere else. I mean really, if she can’t comprehend that, does she know that you need to cook chicken first? I doubt it. Given the filthy state this joint was in I definitely won’t be back. Geez, I doubt I’ll ever find a crummy Americanized Chinese Joint around here. LOL

Place doesn’t look like much, but the food is good! I base the Chinese baseline on fried rice. This rice isn’t oily which I appreciate. House special tasty. My daughter gets beef and vegetable and chicken and vegetable often. Very happy.

As a new resident to the area I’m currently looking for my soon to be favorite spots. King’s Wok is only a short 5 minute drive and located across the street from where I do my normal grocery shopping so I thought I’d give it a try. Placed my order and was told it would only be a quick 10 minutes till I could pick it up. Awesome! Sadly though everything from this point on was disappointing about this place Ordered the sesame chicken which came with fried rice and an egg roll. Also got an order of Crab Rangoon. Portion sizes were average for what you paid. Think the two dinners I ordered plus the Crab Rangoon came out to slightly over $ 20. To keep things short and sweet this reminded me of your typical mall Chinese food. The kind of mall that is located in the middle of no where. The fried rice wasn’t anything near impressive. Visually it really didn’t look great and taste wise had a bland flavor. I know some places have a very greasy fried rice and though this rice wasn’t greasy at all it really didn’t have much flavor at all. I took one bite of my egg roll and decided that was enough. It left a bad taste in my mouth and honestly I’ve had better egg rolls from the freezer section. The sesame chicken itself was average in taste but very tiny pieces. The Crab Rangoon was also very tiny pieces and you either got nothing but filling or a fried crunch, no in between. I’ve had my fair share of Chinese food and this place most likely won’t see me as a returning customer. The 2 stars are for how quickly I received the food and the decent prices, nothing more.

Ever since I moved to Naperville, I’ve been on the hunt for a decent Chinese food place.(China Star in Wheaton was my fave). I’ve tried a couple of different places, and none of them were very good. Then I found King’s Wok, which is literally down the street from me, and gave it a shot. I love their chicken fried rice. There’s just something about it. Last night I had the General Tso’s Chicken, which was delicious. Slightly spicy, and plenty of glaze. Even the bf, who has a picky palate when it comes to Chinese, took some of my rice and chicken for himself. That right there speaks volumes. Their Egg Drop Soup was tasty, too; and I can be rather picky when it comes to the quality of Egg Drop Soup. I think this will be our go-to Chinese spot from now on. I’ve had a few different things from their menu and so far, all have lived up to expectations. Not to mention they are fast with your order, which is a plus.

The dish I ordered was hot and fresh but mostly onions and very little meat… I will keep looking.

This place is my go-to Chinese Takeout place. It’s right in my neighborhood(I’m not Mr. Rogers by the way), and they can prepare the food in about 10 – 15 minutes. You really can’t go wrong with the lunch specials for $ 4.95. If you get sick of that $ 5 foot long, then this place is definitely worth a try. I agree their menu is quite large, and some of the dishes there are kinda«Meh», but they really do have some tasty dishes as well. I think they could cut the menu down a tad and focus on their real flavorful and delicious dishes. If you end up ordering one of the blander dishes I can see why you might give this place low ratings. I think it is hit or miss, but I will tell you about some of the dishes that I think are mad grubbin’. The only appetizer that I can recommend is the Crab Ragoon. It has a goldfish shape, it’s super crispy on the outside, and has a creamy«crabiness» taste to it on the inside. Their crab ragoon is pretty delish in my opinion. It comes with a little side dish of sweet and sour sauce that you can dip these bad boys in for a nice combination of flavor. I also recommend the House Pan Fried Noodles. On the bottom you have these very thin crunchy and in other places softer noodles in a soy sauce base. On top is pork, shrimp, broccoli, water chestnuts, baby corn, and thinly sliced carrots. This is really good stuff in my opinion. The wife thinks it’s a little salty, but I’m a fan of this dish. The next menu item that is really good is their Shrimp with Lobster Sauce. You have this clear sauce with peas, carrots, and big ol’ shrimps in this dish. I was surprised that the shrimp are as big as they are, and it comes with white rice which tastes pretty awesome if you mix it in with the lobster sauce. Another tasty menu item is the General Tso’s Chicken. I believe this is the first dish that I ever ordered from there, and since then I have ordered this numerous times. The chicken has this sweet and spicy sauce. Even though it has hot peppers mixed in with the chicken, it’s really not all that spicy. It has a little kick to it and I really like this dish. The last item that I recommend would be the Moo Shu Pork. It comes with a big portion of pork and various vegetables mixed in the dish. It also comes with hoisin sauce and five pancakes. I would advise to by an extra order of pancakes, because there is a lot of filling. I am not a real fan of eating this plain, but it’s pure deliciousness if you wrap up this filing in the pancake like a burrito. Yum Yum… The restaurant size is pretty small with some tables for dining in, but I wouldn’t recommend bringing the whole soccer team to eat there(Some would be eating on the floor due to lack of table space). One thing that is a little annoying is that you have to ask for the chopsticks when you pick up your order. Sometimes, I totally forget to request these, so it would be helpful if they ask the customer how many sets they need when they pick up their food, or just add them to the bag without the customer having to ask them for these utensils. They used to have them out in the open where you could just grab these, but now I believe they keep these under their cash register.

Hey, it’s the standard«crappy American Chinese food.» I have a soft spot for this sort of thing, but it’s just not a particularly impressive rendition of that genre. As Jon T observes, their menu is excessively large and things tend to blend together badly. But he’s right, large orders are large. You can easily get two meals from one of them, so the price works out to be pretty reasonable. I would comment that while the Chinese dishes themselves(I almost always gravitate towards something like Szechuan/Hunan beef/pork) aren’t too greasy, their crab rangoon are… not good. Very greasy, flavorless filling, etc. I had a hankering for them, but this definitely did not satisfy. I’m not sure how much I’ll be back — there are other generic Chinese joints around, and while none are quite so close to the house… it would be worth driving to find something else.

Andrew T, Ms T and I had a light dinner here after our return from extended travels. I had a craving for Chinese. Although it looks like one of those strip mall chain Chinese places that are so common, I don’t think it is a chain. Ms T went for a half order of chicken and peapods. Andrew and I ordered full orders which were very large. He had one of the beef dishes and I had a spicy shredded pork dish. This is very mediocre Chinese. While it was not greasy and our servings were more than adequate, the food just is not well seasoned. To be honest, there was not much difference between the three whether beef, pork or chicken. When you see us all adding soy sauce to try to get a little flavor, you get the idea. The sauces were just bland. They have a huge, huge menu. I recall 120+ items. They need to reduce it to 20 max and work on distinguishing the sauces.

There’s nothing particularly impressive about this place, but they aren’t particularly horrible either. I’ve had better and I’ve had worse but the service is always fast and friendly. They don’t do Egg Foo Young well though.

I truly wanted to love this place as it’s literally 2 min from my house. Unfortunately, I was pretty disappointed. We ordered pot stickers… they were mushy, but they were ok. My egg roll only had cabbage in it. My beef chop suey was mainly vegetables & very little beef. My husband had sesame chicken that he said was ok. I was also disappointed with portion sizes. Granted I’ve been spoiled by living near some amazing Chinese take out places in the past with incredible food & heaping servings… but King’s wasn’t even just average. It was very much below average. I gave them the star based on speed & price only. Based on this experience, I will drive a little further to get Lee’s on 59 or China Chef in Westmont.

This is my favorite Chinese restaurant by far! The food is delish, the portion sizes are generous, and the service is very fast. We’ve been frequenting this restaurant for take out for 5 years and even though we’ve moved further away, it will continue to be our Chinese restaurant of choice. I wouldn’t recommend it to dine-in, and I really wish they offered delivery, but perfect for takeout.

NOT for vegetarians or vegans. They advertise $ 4.25 for lunch specials but they don’t have anything vegetarian and I was charged $ 1 extra for replacing meat with tofu. This is inconsistent as well. I wasn’t charged anything a couple of times before. Once I was charged only $ 0.50 extra. i don’t really care about the extra dollar but it is the principle. Wouldn’t go back because of the inconsistency. The food otherwise is good(and hence the 2 stars)
