China King — Restaurant in City of Dunkirk

I love the owner and the family and watching their kids grow up and start helping and running the register and such while the father cooks like a mad man, pretty sure he's cooked nearly everything for this restaurant since the buffet closed, im not sure about before that, but he was always so kind and funny, telling jokes while also managing probably a dozen orders at a time, a true excellent chef.

But the prices have gone up, the minimum serving sizes have gone up, theres no pint of fried rice anymore which is more than enough for most single human beings, now ya gotta get enough for two or three people at a time, and unfortunately if its between spending 10$ on fried rice when i can only eat 4$ of it, or going to holy wong and just getting the 4$. Im unfortunately choosing holy wong.

The service is amazing, the atmosphere is what youd expect from a small family owned chinese place, not fancy, bare minimums, clean.

I miss coming to this place several days a week but I just can't do it anymore

I got the same thing most times, crab rangoon, egg rolls, pork fried rice, and I enjoyed it for a very long time, could even say lived off of it. But the crab rangoons kept popping and that ruins them they still serve them and tell me thats how its supposed to be.

I dont know man, I hate to give a less than perfect review for such great people, but its just not what it used to be, havent been there in a while now and feel like people should give it a try, try something other than the fried rice, the family there...

This last visit was a takeout order. The staff has always been extremely nice on my visits here over the years. I used to frequent much more when the buffet was in its hay day however have since chosen other places in the area to eat at. The service is great the food is just ok. I think inflation has hurt the restaurants prices as a lot of places have and poor building maintenance ( I believe they lease this building) give this place a dark look from the outside. The food quality is just ok I mean it's American Chinese food but it didn't quite make a 3 star rating. Two combo meals for almost 30 bucks...is a bit much for what you get. Accepts...

I have had take out in many different cities, mostly in NYC but this place is odd in a sense of food, decor and cleanliness. Food has an odd taste and smell here. Tables felt greasy in the take out section. The buffet side may be different but i don't care for buffet places as food quality can be on the down side like Ponderosa use to be if you remember that place and the terrible food quality at that buffet place. The decor was dirty with even dust webs on many things like doorways and window signs. I wont eat from here again. This fits their buffet food to a tee. Just didn't like any of the food i ordered here for several people who also...
