King's Express Chinese Restaurant — Restaurant in Elk Grove

So many bad reviews on here, but hear me out. You want authentic Chinese food this is the spot. Ppl talking about how it was empty, and the service was bad. Forget about the service. Everyone here feels entitled, take a second and forget about yourself. The world doesn't revolve around you. This place has been operating in the same spot for 10+ years by the same old couple . The restaurants before them lasted no more than a year or two before having to close. The area is not a strong spot for dining in. Despite this and despite a pandemic they've survived and that speaks a lot. The restaurants strong suit is their take out orders. Everytime I go in to pick up an order there's always other regulars waiting for their orders as well. Even though the place is empty they always seem to be busy in the back. I swear everytime I go to a party here in Elk Grove where the hosts are serving Chinese food, it almost always is kings. If im hanging out with friends and ask what's the best Chinese spot there is always someone that will mention kings, and then everyone chimes in and agrees "oh hell yea kings".

This is a family owned and run restaurant so be patient there is a little bit if wait at times the owners are very wonderful and appreciative of your business.

Garlic chicken wings my favorite. And the wonton soup combination I recommend the big bowl. We have only try a few other dishes and so far dont like but it does not mean you won't either until you try them.

It is a small restaurant but hey what truly counts is the food and oh boy we sure love their...

Blame my daughter for this review, because if she hadn't sworn that y'all were good, I would have never wasted my money. This food makes no sense. How do you make Chinese food this flavorless? What do you believe in? If you wanna live a gluten free, fat free, salt free, sugar free lifestyle, go for it, but don't force it on your customers. How do you make General Chicken that tastes like a seasonless gut bomb? How do you make fried rice that is clearly just rice with some sort of sauce poured into it? I don't appreciate the fact that your combo came with NOTHING past chicken and empty rice.

People, there is a better Chinese food place nearby. I don't have to say the name, because any place you go to is probably it. Never go here. Please.

I wish I could give...
