China King — Restaurant in Casa Grande

Fantastic little hole in the wall restaurant. Found myself in casa grande because I've been having a bad week and I just like to pick a direction and drive. They are super inexpensive and the food tastes great, you can definitely tell the different regional influences for each dish, pretty sure Szechuan, hunan and Cantonese? Could be really wrong and unnecessarily sounding pretentious. But it's nice to see where they took inspiration for their food, which is super rare to see in Arizona, and even rarer in just a hole in the wall smack dab between Phoenix and Tucson. There is a wonderful looking and smelling buffet, however my first time to a split restaurant (menu or buffet style) I like to go menu and see what the staff eats. My cashier/server Johnny pointed out a few of his go tos and I ended up going with the king pao chicken and what I thought would be a side of wonton soup (turned out to be a meal of its own) everything was flavored super well and left me stuffed with a smile on my face. On top of that special shout out to Johnny for being super nice and understanding. He is a great worker in his ability to run between tables and the front as well as a great example as to what to be as a person in general. Will definitely be back if I find myself out...

Terrible customer service & cheap to go portions!!! Tonight, I came in to order a to go plate. The Asian lady gives me a skimp amount of rice & lo mein. I politely ask for more lo mein minus the cabbage filler this time. I really meant no harm, but she was offended. I ask for shrimp, she starts with 4 pcs. of shrimp. I politely ask for more. She then adds 2 pcs. of shrimp. I ask for more- she adds 2 pcs. I have plenty of room for more food in my to go box! Cmon lady more shrimp pls! Her response- “shrimp is expensive” my response- I paid the same amt of $ these dine in ppl did & id eat more if I dined in, so please add more shrimp. Her response- “well eat here next time”. Woooww really? The food I ended up with- including the 8 pcs. of shrimp fits in the to go box without being overly full so I wasn’t obnoxious, but she sure was AND the Asian dude talkin all that sht when this was happening too! Just rude. Got home & shrimp gah dang it. The shrimp is not deveined. Sooo gross & not worth...

This was our first time trying China King after hearing so many good things for years. When they announced they were changing the menu and adding pho and hotpot, I knew I wanted to try it as soon as possible. It was definitely worth the wait! The flavour in the pho broth was absolutely perfect. The steak comes out so good as well as the brisket (which my husband got). We also ordered the crab puffs and chicken potstickers, if you get the potstickers you HAVE to try the garlic sauce, it is amazing! Everything from food down to the service was nothing less than exceptional, the atmosphere is very calm in opening hours, and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. We definitely will be back and recommending to...
