King Kong Chinese Restaurant — Restaurant in Castro Valley

Went there and the place was empty. I usually like supporting little mom and pop Asian restaurants but have to be honest, I thought the food was just ok. Maybe it was just the dishes were ordered. We ordered veggie eggrolls, general tso chicken and seafood pan fried noodles. Can't say anything about the eggrolls since my kids were the ones that ate it. The general tso chicken looked like it was just minced chicken, and when we tasted it the flavor was fine but this was barely breaded especially with very small meat pieces. The seafood pan fried noodles were crispy but did lack the pan flavor. The noodle dish was a bit on the salty side and the flavor that sticks out the most was soy sauce. I usually like the pan fried noodles for the pan flavor and sauce that's is a mixture of seasonings. I can make crispy noodles with soy sauce seasoning myself. Sorry I grew up with my dad cooking all the time, and he used to work at a restaurant. So I'm a little picky. The bathroom has a sign indicating out of order but it worked. The floor felt greasy and I kept feeling like I was going to...

Ate early lunch here [1039am], they supposedly opened at 1030am. Sat for about 5-minutes with a menu I got for myself. I was about to leave when a lady [finally] came out and greeted me. Starting to be a bit apprehensive, from all the negative reviews. Ordered their vegetarian egg rolls/6.45 and won ton noodle soup/11.95. Soup was good, egg rolls were awful-no taste. Thankfully, I also asked for chilli-paste, which made the egg rolls at least palatable. Soup had the skinny-noodles but most were broken/strange. The won tons were scarce/about 5 of them. Soup had some carrot pieces and chinese flat beans. The broth was way better than the won tons and noodles. Not exactly what I expected, I probably won't return because there are better chinese...

My girlfriend's parents love this restaurant and I'm not going to lie, it's grown on me.

We've been here about 5 times in the past half year and it's been a delight every time. Our favorite is the Salty Egg Pumpkin and the Scallop Fried Rice. There's just something unique and special about their fried rice that no other restaurant has come to match. I can't put my finger on it, but I'm a huge fan. We usually order 1-2 for our table and order an additional 2 to go for the next day's lunch.

All in all, great...
