New King's Wok Chinese Restaurant — Restaurant in Town of Farmington

🤤🤤🤤I've been coming here since I was a kid. Still the best egg rolls in the whole world out of all my travels. And I don't know how they do it, but they're hella quick, even when they're slammed. Sweet people, de-licious food. Local legacy if you ask me. For real, sometimes I just order 6 egg rolls for my whole dinner. Sometimes I just pop in for 1 or 2 when in the area for a snack. Gotta do the shrimp or pork ones tho. The veg are yummy, they're just smaller and more like spring rolls, as a heads up. They just don't have the same CRONCH Note/Hot Tip: You gotta ASK for chopsticks if you want 'em. They don't throw them in automatically like some spots do. No biggie, and no charge, just something to know if you like them like me. I like to sub lo mein for rice with me meal as well. Don't remember if it's an upcharge. Probably, but just so you know if you ask they'll do it. Fortune cookies included!

I usually also get: Egg drop or Egg drop w/wonton soup, beef w/ veg or broccoli, sesame chicken, lo mein (all kinds), fried or white rice... all bomb...

How do you judge a restaurant? By the consistency and quality of the food they make, by their staff and demeanor, the timeliness of service, and of course, location and cleanliness of the establishment. The ONLY non-star has to do with the space the restaurant occupies and the ventilation issues consistent with oil frying the majority of the food. I never leave without knowing I have been there. THAT said, the food is consistently delicious, the portions excellent - as are the prices for those portions. Been going to New King's Wok for pretty much 10+ years, on average once a month, and not once have they missed an order, made an order that wasn't consistent with the last time I ordered it, or made me wait more than a few minutes. When they say 20 minutes they mean 20 minutes. Best Chinese on the east side. My go-to and...

Food was ready when they said. When I got there they had about a dozen orders ready so it was a busy night. I saw 3 cooks there. The place was clean and is fairly large so I didn’t see people standing on top of one another.

The egg rolls were very good but I rate a Chinese restaurant on the quality of its hot & sour soup, which I found to be mediocre at best. There was a decent amount of heat but I had to add some Chinkiang vinegar when I got home to up the sour. There seemed to be too much starch too - not sure if it was cooked enough as I seemed to actually taste the starch. I did like the fried dumplings. My son got a beef & broccoli combo (his go to) and he said it was ok but the fried...
