China King — Restaurant in Doral

Ah, the thrilling adventure of takeout roulette. This time, I gambled on a Chinese restaurant and, well, the house won. Let’s unpack this culinary journey, shall we?

First up: the honey chicken. Sweet? Sure. Memorable? Not so much. It didn’t knock my socks off, but it also didn’t offend me—kind of like that one coworker you forget exists until they pop up in a meeting. It came with a side of white rice: serviceable, standard, and about as exciting as an afternoon traffic jam.

Then came the chicken lo mein, a dish I thought would be a slam dunk. Instead, I was greeted by a plate of sad, dry noodles that tasted like someone whispered “flavor” over them and called it a day. Underwhelming would be an understatement.

But the pièce de résistance (or lack thereof) was the Hunan Chicken. The picture on their website showed a tantalizing fried masterpiece, so imagine my surprise when I was presented with boiled chicken swimming in oil, with a slimy texture that would haunt my dreams. Oh, and veggies—oodles of veggies, because apparently, I ordered a stir-fried garden by mistake. I would strongly recommend skipping this dish unless you’re a fan of culinary betrayal.

Now, here’s the kicker: I wanted General Tso’s Chicken, but it wasn’t under the chicken section of the menu. Makes sense, right? Nope. Turns out it was tucked away under “specials,” far below where I had scrolled. My fault for not exploring the menu like Indiana Jones on a treasure hunt, but still, a little organization wouldn’t hurt.

All in all, this was a masterclass in mediocrity. If you’re craving Chinese food, keep scrolling—for your sake and...

It was my first time ordering food from them, quality it's very acceptable according to what I order special fried rice and barbecue ribs but what I found dispare was the price with the amount I order an small fried rice portion but I found out later the small container it was very very small according to the normally standard small size, they have another one a little more bigger what they called medium but in reality it's the standard small size for 12.00 bucks and there's not Large size but an XL for 25.00 bucks so you're forced to purchase from a 12.00 bucks middle container to a 25.00 bucks XL container because there's not a Large size with a price between 12.00 and 25.00 bucks so the difference it's 13.00 bucks so if you are a person who wants to keep a extra little food for next day the 12.00 bucks container is not gonna good for you forcing you to purchase the XL for 25.00 bucks which is a lot food to have for the rest of two weeks eating...

So I'm picky with the typical Chinese food takeout and I tried this place out in 2020/2021! Yes nearly 3 years ago. I just purchased again a few days ago and everything was horrendous, did they change owners?! The fried rice tasted like soap/cleaner (was the shrimp to blame?) The crab Rangoons were stale and flavorless. The veggie beef was just ... more like beef liver because it just fell apart in your fingers like mashed potatoes. Even the honey chicken were tasting horrible. I'm currently looking for a new spot that's up to par because this place is now off my list forever. Yuck. +for the price you pay it's ridiculous. Might was well go to a 4 or 5 star restaurant and get your...
