Chef King Carry-Out — Restaurant in Louisville

As a benchmark when trying a new chinese restaurant, I almost always get sesame chicken. It is on nearly every menu, and while seemingly simple, it has a combination of components that must all be brought together in order to be a successful dish. These traits are: moist chicken inside, crispy flour or corn starch crust outside, and a sweet, tangy and spicy reddish-gold sauce that creates an instant craving.

Chef King fell flat on their face with this. First off, the sauce was gray. Yes, that is not a typo; gray. It smelled so powerfully of cheap vinegar that I thought they had spilled my grandmother's home brew vinegar window cleaner on the chicken by mistake. I ate 2 pieces, regretfully, and was not shocked to find stringy chicken and a sauce that stuck to my teeth like milk duds. And that was promptly the end of tha meal.

In addition, it's not uncommon for frozen chicken to still have a slight pink tinge on the inside even though it's still fully cooked (age of the chicken and their feed can also affect this). So don't assume a chicken dish isn't fully cooked just because there is a slight pinkness to the inside, that can be...

Have been going to this place for many years it was always great. Went back today and it was one of the worst experiences i have ever had. Broccoli beef was horrible! The meat was rotten, it had a horrible smell, it was so bad i spit it out immediately after tasting it. We asked for something else and got chicken curry instead. I have no idea what the hell they served us but it was not chicken it looked like chicken skin it had a strange texture it looked like pieces of fat. we also got orange chicken that too was a mess the chicken was hard and tasted old. I will never go back to chef king i got very sick from the food. I dont think i can ever have...
