Chung-King Chinese Restaurant — Restaurant in North Little Rock

I recently visited this restaurant, and I have to say, the exterior looks quite run down—almost abandoned. The outdoor sign and the building itself don't give the best first impression. It wasn't until I walked closer to the front door that I spotted a small "open" sign in the window. However, there was a note on the door stating they no longer offer dine-in service and that all orders are takeout only.

As for the menu, it was a bit disappointing. There weren't many options, and some popular Chinese restaurant staples like chicken wings, lo mein, and spring rolls were missing. My rating is primarily based on the food, as the customer service didn't play a major role in my experience.

Here’s what I ordered: Egg Drop Soup: Unfortunately, the soup was cold, which made it hard to enjoy on a chilly day, especially as I waited for my Uber. Crab Rangoon: The filling was a bit too thick and was cold as well. The flavor was just ok, and it tasted more like cream cheese. The Wonton pastry it was wrapped in was ok. Not the light and airy crispiness you get from other places. Veggie Noodles: This was the biggest letdown. I was expecting a variety of vegetables (onion, peas, carrots, and broccoli, as mentioned when I ordered), but the dish only had about 10 pieces of broccoli, with no other veggies. This was definitely disappointing. I'm addition, the Noodles were very salty. I only had a few bites of it.

Affordable menu. You get what...

We’ve eaten there plenty more times since last post. Each time the food is hot and taste wonderful. If your thinking about trying it for your first time, DO it. Don’t be turned away by the area, outside conditions, nor the inside. The food is absolutely worth it. We always order to go, and have always enjoyed the great food.

Always love their food. They are always nice and polite. We eat from there often and they always say nice to have you back; and ask how’s the family doing. We always order to go, and food is always nice and hot. Never disappointed in their food. As for the outside area, it’s not the best, but neither is anything else in that area. The inside isn’t the best kept, but we never dine in anyway, Still gave 5 star for the great hot fresh food, politeness, and for them being thankful for repeat customers. It’s also impressive how they remember our names and ask about specific family members. FYI, food is great but a little pricey but...

Went here today for first time ever, attracted by good reviews on the buffet. Sadly, like many others, they are doing to-go orders only at this time. I ordered peppered shrimp, which came with an egg roll, fried rice, and soup. The shrimp was cooked just right in a tasty sauce with sliced onions and bell pepper. The fried rice wasn't the run-of-the-mill version to my taste buds. It was extra flavorful.

This restaurant has been around many years, I read; and, as I witnessed firsthand, is part of the community. The lady there was so friendly when she took my order and kindly offered me a menu to take with me. While I waited for my order I heard her ask another customer about the welfare of a family member who had been ill. Then she helped her carry the orders to her car and wished them well.

I don't know if I'll go back because it's out of my way, but I am glad I stopped there today. And as the nice lady wished me, Happy New Year...
