Jin's China King — Restaurant in Shelby Charter Township

I was wondering why on all of the different review outlets, this restaurant had such varying ratings, many of them terrible. Unfortunately, I found out today. As I sit here, sick to my stomach, wishing I'd never ordered from Jin's China King. The only thing this place is the "king" of is the worst Chinese food in the land. That's the only crown they wear.

They're the closest Chinese place to my house so although I tried them a few years ago, and had just an okay to subpar experience, I had to give them a try again because they're literally less than a mile away. I tried: Wontons in spicy sauce, Shrimp egg foo young with gravy and fried rice, Amazing Chicken with fried rice, and an egg roll.

The wontons were so over-cooked that the Wonton Wrapper had become gelatinous. The filling was barely there, the sauce had an okay flavor but because of the aforementioned problems was totally unenjoyable.

The shrimp egg foo young patties themselves were half-decent but nothing special, the problem there was the gravy was gelatinous, not really even a gravy, and next to tasteless. Also, the fried rice was mealy, underdone, and flavorless. That's right, a Chinese place that can't even cook fried rice!!! LOL

The only "amazing" thing regarding the "Amazing Chicken" was the fact that I found a 1 inch black piece of something in there, that I had to spit out, I'm not even sure what it is. It looks like a humongous stem of some kind. Very off-putting to find that in my food (and mouth), and very surprising that any cook with half decent eyesight wouldn't have seen it and pulled it out. I guess they really just don't care. That theme is relatively obvious throughout the entire experience.

As for the egg roll, I didn't try it and threw it away with the rest of the garbage I received. Too disgusted to continue to eat. What a waste

I think the only decent reviews of this place are coming from people unfamiliar with Chinese food in general, or just eating things like sweet and sour, General's, or sesame type dishes. Obviously, when you bread something, deep fry it, and drown it in a sweet and sour type sauce, it's easy to hide the true quality of the food and its preparation.

I love food, I love Asian food, I love leaving great reviews and I wish I could hear but please, for your own good, stay away from this place! Eat at absolutely any other Chinese restaurant in Macomb County, or even Michigan and you'll likely have a much better experience than you will at Jin's King of...

Ok so here's my thoughts 5 16 24 I ordered a almond Boneless chicken dinner with brown gravy instead of their almond regular sauce and veggie fried rice. The chicken was thin breast and fried hard the brown gravy was very salty. Originally I was gonna order their crab Rangoon but beware! They do not fill the crab Rangoon inside they put very little filling I personally called and asked if I could pay more to have them actually filled answer was no. My veggie fried rice was odd it literally had hunks of bellpeppers celery zucchini water crest and the mini corn cobs in the rice lol why? Next a dinner tray should be dinner portions omg these were lunch trays you can't even eat off it for two days let alone share! They are very overpriced and when I called and informed them I had just paid 50$ for these very small portions they said yes we know they are small I'm so sorry. Maybe the next time u could get the bigger option and get the meal for 2 lol the nerve. literally who wants to spend that much on Chinese for a small amount for two people. Please think before you buy id rather pay more and go out my way to China villa kwoung tung inn or Leongs on 23 to make sure I'm at least getting my money's worth. I attached pictures I won't be...

Food was edible. The service was terrible. The girl who answered the phone was rude, bored, and uninterested. When she asked me what size sesame chicken I wanted, I asked what the sizes were. She sighed into the phone, and said "Fried rice, or white." I told her I wanted fried rice. Apparently, she decided that because I didn't know the sizes that they carry, I must be too stupid to actually choose a size myself, and so she did it for me. I asked her again what the sizes were. She says "You get a quart."

I get a quart? Well, as much as I appreciate not having to actually make every decision myself, I had to ask the question: Am I quart sort of person? Is an entire quart of sesame chicken something that I actually need in my life? Does a quart of sesame chicken come with anything that isn't sesame chicken, or is it just a wad of sesame chicken shoved into an empty milk carton? I asked again what the sizes were, and she rattled them off faster than I could understand. I asked her if I was bothering her. I was actually curious at this point if my very forward, and impetuous request for sesame chicken had somehow offended her, or her culture. She asked me again if I wanted fried...
