China king Restaurant — Restaurant in Brighton

I grew up eating from this diner, and it has never been good. The Chinese food they serve is incredibly disappointing. The quality is very poor, and what's even more concerning is that they prepare some of their dishes outside behind the building. As a certified food handler, this practice makes me extremely uncomfortable and skeptical about their hygiene standards.

Adding to the disappointment, they no longer offer dine-in or buffet options since the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic. While the prices might be decent, it's evident that the low quality matches the low cost. The food lacks flavor, freshness, and overall appeal. It's disheartening because I had hoped for better, considering my long history with this place.

To be honest, this diner serves the absolute worst Chinese food I've ever had. I say this with confidence because I ate Chinese food here every Christmas Eve for 18 years, and the recent experience was a significant disappointment. I won't be returning, and I certainly wouldn't recommend it to anyone seeking genuine and delicious...

Usually great food there I went many times and got the buffet to go which is a small foam tray you get to fill. Mind you it is the full price of the buffet. I went with a friend telling him how great it was. We filled up our trays and upon getting to the desk the young man said there was to much food as the lid would not close. He was very rude about it yet we were very apologetic I managed to just get mine to close. I think 1 less chicken wing in the tray of my friends and it would close. Ive delt with this family before and the rest of them dont seem to mind how full the tray is... I was even offered an elastic one time by the young lady so I could get it home without making a mess. I figured for full price you could jam all ya can into it. Not very happy with how the young man treated me and my friend. I will be back because the food is actually great but customer service from the young man is...

Such a shame...it used to be our go to for local Chinese food but today has been such a disappointment that we will never go back. I ordered combination E for me and my daughter. With a can of pop each. I figured we could do a couple lunches from it each as the portions are always good. Sad to say most of our 35 dollar purchase went into the trash.

First off, the chicken balls were smothered in sweet and sour sauce. I have never had that on my chicken balls as it has always been put on the side. I can live with that because I didn't specify and maybe I should have. The vegetable lo mein noodles were crunchy and the chicken fried rice was so salty that it could not be eaten.

The egg rolls were burnt but we ate them anyways because we were so hungry.

The cans of pop were both expired by 10 months!!

I'm so disappointed but will never give them any more if my hard...
