China King — Restaurant in Moberly

Beware! I've ordered twice and instead of General Tsao I got maybe orange chicken. Not sure, but it was definitely not Tsao. The second time I ordered shrimp love mein and I got something I can only describe as shrimp with onion soup over rice. I called to complain the 2nd time, explaining that my order was wrong but I wasn't expecting replacement. I explained that I ordered the lo mein or chow mein, whichever had noodles, but what I got didn't have a single noodle in it. He was struggling to understand me yet arguing the whole time, insisting I had ordered chow mein. But it wasn't chow mein either. Idk what it was. But Despite the language barrier he was rude, insisting I ordered chow mein. He either couldn't understand me ite he ignored that out wasn't lo mein or chow mein. I didn't even want my money back or a replacement. I just wanted to give my feedback and was interrupted and...

We decided to stop in for a late lunch on Sunday, which would’ve been around 2ish. The place wasn’t overly busy, but there were several people that came in. I did notice there were a lot of takeouts. The place was clean. The service was great and attentive.

Would we try again? Yes, probably. I mean, I wouldn’t necessarily go out of my way to go there again, but if the option...

I’m not one to leave reviews. In fact I don’t ever. However, this was by far, without a doubt, the best food that I have ever eaten in my life. While I am a Chinese food fan, i would put Mexican, Italian, American cuisine above my love for Chinese. All of that being said, this was substantially the best food I’ve ever tasted in my life. 100/10 recommend. I am an over the road trucker, who eats at many places across the country, and sat down for this meal on Christmas Eve of all places; away from friends, family, and loved ones. I could not have found a better establishment for a Christmas Eve meal. Absolutely stunning and...
