King Chuan Restaurant — Restaurant in San Carlos

Check these guys out! You won't be disappointed. Quality is value!

Easy to find off the main Street El Camino. Service is great on Sunday evenings. They're open until 12am on Sundays if you're not in the mood for fast food late dining.

Quality of meals is made fresh which can be customized at your request if you have food allergies or diet standards and staff is patient to assist or make selections substitutions.

Very clean establishment. You don't really smell the food that lingers on the rug or walls that some restaurants have.

Staff are friendly and professional that I've met and have serviced me on Sunday evening and they know their menu.

Atmosphere is quiet low-key vibe with a bright ambiance during evenings. Parking is in front of restaurant or along the street. 1 block up (walking distance) the street from San Carlos Caltrain station on San Carlos Ave and San Carlos bus terminal off of El Camino.

Easy access to 101Hwy N&S

We went here on Christmas Eve for dinner - it's kind of a family tradition to eat out Chinese on Christmas Eve for us. One of the things we ordered was Mongolian Beef. My wife thought it tasted a bit odd - I didn't think it was terrible, but it definitely tasted a bit weird.

Two days later I got the left overs from King Chuan out to eat for a quick lunch. I reheated it in my microwave and then began eating. Two bites in I hit something that was not chewable. I assumed it was a piece of grizzle or something and pulled it out of my mouth. It turned out to be a CIGARETTE BUTT! (See uploaded photos)

Disgusting! I will never ever return to this place. In fact I may never visit another "hole in the wall" Chinese food place after...

Amazing food service always good, but has gotten too expensive. We've been coming 2-3 times a month for years, but are going to have to cut back because of the price. In 2022 they charged $13 for fried rice and chow mein. Then increased to $15... ok I get it, inflation and all. But now it's $18, and that might be too much for rice and noodles. Our bill for our usual order was $55 in 2022, now it's $78. Again I get it, inflation, tariffs, etc. I don't think it's greed, I think they're just trying to survive. But so are we. And as a result, we'll be spending $78 once a month or so rather than $100 to $150 per month over multiple visits.

Again, amazing food, but they have priced us out of...
