China King — Restaurant in Bethany

I have been to this restaurant twice. I had been warned that the person at the counter where u order is hard to understand. My informant was correct!! The food was typical when there is no competition in town; "leaves a lot to he desired". 1st visit I had the worst egg foo young I've ever eaten. (I eat out often wherever I am in America.) It was greasy; grease all over my lips! It tasted like it had been cooked on a grill with all kinds of breakfast food. I'm a penny pincher so I took it back to where I am temporarily living and put it in a skillet. I didn't have to use any extra oil. Will not order that dish again. #2 visit: ordered the Dragoon that was pictured on the wall with no price not realizing it was $15.60! (I usually ask how much but was in a hurry to get to an event.) I later looked on the take out menu I brought home so I could find the exact name & price but couldn't find it. I liked that the shrimp was not breaded & loved all the vegetables. I kept having to chew each piece of battered chicken so long that I thought I was going to be late for the event I was going to. I started wondering if it was chicken. I finally assumed that it was extremely dry (to put it politely). They probably figured the batter and spicy hot sauce (which I like) would cover the dryness. Maybe that's how they can afford to serve so much food in their entrees. Their ragoons were "O.K." (but have had tastier ones). Sorry if the pic grosses u out. It's a couple of pieces of chicken after chewing, trying to dissolve it but couldn't. (I had to finally leave for the event so took most of the food home. I took the...

We were there on Saturday, 3:30pm which would of been Day 4 after their grand opening in their new building. We were greeted with" it will be a 45 minute wait, do you want to order." ( We have never eaten at this place ever) We were trying to read the menu, the phone was ringing off the hook, which she also answered each call with China King it's a 45 minute wait, do you still want to order. All the calls were pick up food orders. We wanted to ask a couple questions and finally there was a lull in the phone ringing and my husband asked about a picture on the board menu but could not find in printed menu. She told us it was really just this, a combo special. Then she told us it would be over an hour now do we want to order. We asked about taking the printed menu and then we walked out the door. I have heard from many people that the place has great food and their front desk person is a bit gruff. They also tell us we need to give it a second chance. They were under staffed that first weekend....

Stopped on the way home from Kansas City. We wanted to try Chinese food since the reviews looked good. We were the first customers of the day. Simple order what you want at the counter, they have about 28 lunch specials to choose from and you can also order from menu. The shrimp with mixed vegetables was tasty, hot, and more than I could eat. Took about 1/2 home. The egg rolls and crab rangoon are both hand made on site. Very good flavor. Have some sodas on the self serve fountain, if you don't like what's on the fountain they also have other types in cans available. The server was very helpful and was pleasant to visit with. I would return again if I was going...
