China King — Restaurant in Florida

By far the best Chinese take out i have ever been to. I have lived in 5 different states, one of them being NYC a few minutes from China Town. This is still the best American Chinese I've had. I eat here at minimum once a week (for 1-2 years now) and have yet to have an order that came out wrong or otherwise not good. The food is always delicious, always hot upon pickup, and is extremely fair priced. This restaurant is my safe food place. I can reliably count on getting a good meal here regardless of why I'm eating out for the evening; whether its because I don't feel well from chronic illness, I'm too exhausted to cook after a long day at work, or just feeling some Chinese food. They are also extremely fast. I can place an order and its almost always ready by the time I arrive (always less than 10 minutes) which is super convenient as I'm usually placing an order way too late and already feeling ill from hunger. I'm genuinely so grateful to them for making my life so much easier.

The restaurant is extremely clean. You can see how well its maintained. The kitchen itself is always spotless. The stove/grill is clean all the way to the ceiling, the food prep area is always tidy and the vegetables always look very fresh. There are no foul kitchen odors when you walk in, just the smell of cooking food.

I have to leave a little excerpt on the folks that work here. They are so friendly and so personable, I feel like family coming in. They know my usual order and make sure to ask about my usual modifications when I forget to mention them which I super appreciate. All around super sweet people that I'm thrilled to give my business and my money to.

All in all, definitely the best Chinese in Brevard.

This is Florida, and most people from up north will agree, Chinese food down here is just not great. It's often terrible, in fact. Having moved around the area quite a bit, I've tried most of the offerings in the Melbourne/West Melbourne area, and for the most part, I've been disappointed. The only two real exceptions (take out, specifically) have been New China on 192, and China King on Post & Wickham. They not only have a quality which pushes above the local competition, but some of their dishes are outright fantastic. Order the pork egg foo young (get it well done), and you won't be disappointed. Other dishes that rank high are the boneless spare ribs, steamed dumplings, teriyaki steak (appitizer), and their pork egg rolls. They have decent lo mein, which in my opinion, is a huge plus because most lo mein in this town is awful. The sweet and sour pork/chicken is alright, but the sauce isn't anything to write home about.

Overall, there are plenty of hits and plenty of misses, but I've found that they have a great foundation and for the most part and everything they offer seems to be made with care. You will have a lot more luck here than most other places in the area. The owners and their son are all great people, and they rarely make mistakes on the orders. If you use the Beyond Menu app to order from your phone, you get free food as a bonus. Very much...

The reason for 2 Stars is.. it was a busy Friday evening. Lots of orders were being called in and walk up orders like myself. The man at the cash register was OBVIOUSLY SICK! He was coughing & Hacking all over the place and sniffing back snot into his nose! Yes, you read right. He sounded so congested that he had to suck water from the bottle to clear his throat. His eyes were watery too! He touched the phone, money, change, and handed over bags of packed food and even opened some bags to verify the order with the customer. It was disquisting as I watched. Plus, the orders constantly got mixed up too. The food is good but, after that experience, I won't be back because they Obviously Do Not Care about us getting Sick, they only care about Making Money!!!! I wonder how many people he contaminated from pure greed and Selfishness? That guy Should have STAYED HOME! How would they like it, if I served them food Coughing, sniffing, hacking All Over Them and NEVER washing my hands or covering my mouth with a tissue or inside my T-Shirt...
