China King — Restaurant in Dade City

I don’t normally leave bad reviews, but this place absolutely deserves the warning. From the moment I placed my order, the service was terrible. The woman taking my order was rude, dismissive, and acted like I was inconveniencing her just by being there.

When I got the food home, it was a complete letdown. The food was bland and tasted like chemicals as if it absorbed the flavor of the cheap plastic containers it came in. Nothing was fresh, and it honestly made me concerned for my stomach.

I went back to return it, and instead of handling it professionally, the woman kept repeating, “I never have this happen! You first time ever!” as if gaslighting me into thinking I was the problem. It was clear from her reaction that this wasn’t the first time someone had brought back food. After going back and forth, I finally got a refund, but not without unnecessary attitude.

Out of curiosity (and frustration), I checked the reviews once I got to my car and surprise, surprise the first 5 or 6 reviews were ALL one star, echoing the exact same complaints: bad service, gross food, and poor customer experience. Clearly, I was not her “first time ever” unhappy customer.

Do yourself a favor and avoid this place entirely. You’ll thank...

They have a professional Menu that has many selections if you're not a beef or a chicken fan, they have several...

A coworker shared an egg role with me last week and it was pretty tasty so I decided to give this a place a shot for dinner tonight. Ordered the Curry Shrimp with onions, Chicken Lo Mein, and veggie egg rolls. And I must say, it was actually really good! What surprised me the most was the freshness and amount of veggies in the entrees and in the egg rolls. My lo mein had cabbage, spring onions, bean sprouts and carrots (I requested no celery). The sauce was flavorful and not overly salty. And those egg rolls! Not only were they super-fresh, but they had a subtle, pleasant spice to them. Will definitely...
