We have ordered takeout four times in the past six weeks, and the food has been consistently excellent! Fresh, carefully prepared, and very generous portions! I can especially recommend their sweet-and-sour chicken, their fried rice, their crab Rangoon, and eggrolls. Their sweet-and-sour sauce is fantastic for kids to dip :) Staff has been very pleasant, good over the phone.They are a hidden gem in their location - I would recommend them primarily for takeout or quick lunch rather than sit-in but I can totally recommend them for consistently great quality, quick and friendly service and excellent taste!
New to Ann Arbor and the food here is pretty good with one huge exception. How can you serve shrimp that isn’t devined? It’s disgusting and expensive. I was hoping to enjoy some shrimp and throw away the whole thing just had the rice. I’d eat here again but not wasting my money on the shrimp!
I have waited an hour and a half for my food and still dont have it. Now, if they said it would be an hour and a half when I ordered that would be one thing, but nope, they said 30 minutes. Then they said sorry it will be 20 more minutes when I show up at the thirty minute mark. So after 30 more minutes (one hour total) I called and they said it will be another 20 minutes. I asked if they would refund my $45.00 and I was told the owner would not refund my money unless I wanted to cancel my order (with my family at home waiting for the food), but would be willing to give me a DISCOUNT on my next order...which there will not be.I have been a customer at this restaurant through owner changes and for 15 years and it is continually going down hill.I will drive an extra 15 to 20 minutes to get Chinese food next time to never have to give them another dime.This is what I get for insisting on shopping local and trying to support my community.The food is good if you are willing to wait hours for it!
Food was tasty, and I really like the style of the fried rice that they serve here. I had the kung po chicken. The menu has typical options ranging from sesame chicken to moo shoo pork to bean curd. Service was very fast, but the dine-in area was nearly empty. Employee seemed occupied with carry out orders and irritated to be there, but in a very entertaining way. I prefer this to people being super fake. I will be coming back in the future!
The food is always good, but theres only two employees. This leads to long wait times (if you have limited lunch time, plan ahead) and unreliable delivery service. I still gave them 5 stars because there always super nice and I dont want to affect there rating, but wish they would bring on one more person for lunch to help with the business.Oh sorry to even mention, but the egg drop soup has way to much corn starch...it was a big bowl of goop...but seriously everything else Ive had was delicious.
Perfectly prepared... standard dishes but the fried bits are perfect light and crispy not heavy and oily. The sauces are well made and flavorful and the veggies are just right... the first time since moving to Michigan 10 years ago that I have had truly excellent Chinese. Now Im obsessed!
Great food, low cost. It seems that most of their business is delivery or pickups. The dining room is definitely a no frills experience, but the service is prompt and good value. The dining room is usually almost empty, but we see many pickups every time we are there.
Really good food at a good price. I dont think Ive ever been disappointed in anything Ive ordered here. Its not the nicest dining area, but what do you really expect from a strip mall take-out place, and the food more than makes up for it. Great place to stop after a hard days climb at Planet Rock!
The food was not bad but I have had better. The place was very clean which is a plus. The reason ita a one star for me is because we had to grab our own to go box because no one was checking on us and then we still saw no one and had to ring a bell to tell them we wanted to pay. We sat waiting for the check for a good 10 mins. It was not very good customer service.
China king offers tasty Asian-American menu items at an affordable price with the convenience of local dining. Take-out orders are typically ready in 20 minutes or less. They are happy to accommodate larger dining parties when families want a place to enjoy Chinese food together. Love the Curry Chicken, Ginger & Garlic Chicken, Kung Pao Chicken and Singapore Rice Noodles!
Placed an online order tonight after reading positive reviews of this place. My pregnant self was craving almond chicken, but apparently they were out and didnt bother letting us know until my husband arrived to pick up the order. He called me to see if I had been notified, nope. So they asked if I wanted something else and I picked chicken egg foo young - well, they didnt have that either. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? And to top it off, we had already paid online for the order, and the cash refund they gave us was $4 to $5 less than what we paid. Extremely disappointed.
One of the better American style Chinese food in Ann Arbor. By American style, I mean your traditional American orders of General tsos, sweet and sour chicken/pork, orange chicken, crab ragoon, etc. All that is not authentic chinese food, but virtually nothing youve had is if youre an American. So thats what I mean, but this food is great. Crab Ragoons are the sweet kind, so thats a BIG plus for me!! :)
Have been down on the Chinese options in Ann Arbor for a while, especially with Middle Kingdom winding down and not wanting to drive across town for Great Lake on Carpenter. Most of the rest of the Chinese food in the west stadium area is pretty horrendous, in my opinion, so i was hesitant to try the unassuming restaurant in a strip mall with a generic looking sign. Maybe it was low expectations, but I have to say this was some of the best Chinese Ive had in Ann Arbor and definitely the best quick Chinese by far. Some of the dishes were a bit generic, but the Hot & Sour soup, Szechuan pork, and the Lake Tung Ting Shrimp were great. Fresh ingredients, well-cooked shrimp (rare in A2 chinese), and absolutely great service left me wanting to go back and try other stuff. Overall the food is somewhere between above average and very good, but that places it miles above its other competition.

2021-05-07Delicious food!! We grabbed some of the lunch specials and all of them were great! I can’t wait to go back! All portions were generous and for a good price. I think the standouts for me were the general Taos chicken and the spring roll. I would highly recommend China King.

2022-06-27This is a regular spot for work lunch and take home dinners. Always on time, responsive on the phone and they are always smiling. The crab Rangoon are fantastic and you cant beat their fried chicken wings (trust me). This is a great Chinese option for anyone in the area.

2022-07-27I ask for chicken fried rice with egg and no Yoke. Its really good. They pack it in there. The chicken and egg are always so clean looking. Very fast and efficient service. Covid safe, because nobody eats in there. Deffidently better than a lot of other Chinese food in the area.

2022-07-19Used to work next door, I miss it dearly. Amazing food and always quick. But the place I used to work at sucked. I should stop by again and eat this amazing Chinese food at my old job. Point and laugh at the people who still work there.

2020-12-25The food here has always been good and the owners are nice. Also, they sell Americanized Chinese food like nearly every single Chinese takeout/restaurant in the United States. Its safer to expect that Chinese restaurants such as this one is serving the Americanized version of the Chinese food, that has been around since the 1800s, rather than expect authentic cuisine. It never hurts to ask if they can make authentic foods either. I ask them to make me ma po tofu all the time, which isnt on the menu. delicious.There are reviews complaining about the long wait times when they literally chose to get Chinese on Christmas Eve and during prime dinner time too?? Wait times during regular days are good. Usually takes around 15-20 minutes. Also, saying that youre supporting local after demanding a refund while still expecting to get the food you ordered? Yeah, alright. Anyways, food here is good and prices are average. Been eating here since the new owners took over years ago and I see how busy they get during Christmas time.
