King's Chef — Restaurant in Town of Smithtown

It annoys me to no end that people in our community will bash a business with a single star for what is frequently a very minor issue. Even worse, is the appalling tendency to be pissed off when there's a language issue.

The people at this restaurant are lovely, caring, friendly members of our community. Whether I walk in or answer the door for a delivery, I see the same faces as I have for years.

King's Chef has been a trusted, reliable Chinese restaurant in Smithtown for decades. I agree with anyone who scores them low for "atmosphere." But come on, friends, this is a classic "hole in the wall" Chinese restaurant. There is Zero ambience. It's almost exclusively a take out or delivery restaurant. You go to them for their food, not the decor or ambience. With this said, it's kept spotlessly clean and must comply with the town's strict sanitary and building codes, just like any other restaurant.

And their food is reliably delicious, at an excellent price. Their lunch and dinner combinations can generally be customized to your preferences (we don't like mushrooms and they gladly leave them out of fried rice or mixed vegetables.) The meat and veggies are always fresh, things like sweet & sour chicken are perfectly fried and served with yummy sauces alongside, and they have fantastic crispy noodles. Their egg drop and won ton soups are family favorites and their fried rice dishes arrive hot and clearly just-made.

Outstanding food at an outstanding value - what more can you ask for?

In more than 15 years of enjoying their cooking and super-quick delivery, I can count on one hand the number of times the food wasn't exactly as expected. I have never, ever seen or heard of anyone finding poorly or under-prepared meat or shellfish. We would never use them again if this was the case. They instantly resolve any issues, always to our complete satisfaction.

We count on King's Chef to make and deliver delicious food. Period. On the occasions I've walked in and ordered on the spot, it's awesome to watch the kitchen staff jump into action and make my food while I watch.

Set your expectations properly and you won't regret ordering from a great menu. In return, you will enjoy an excellent, authentic Chinese meal that's both delicious and...

Those people should not be in business. They're liars, slick and extremely rude. I ordered 2 dinner combinations which come with 1 egg roll each. I didn't receive the egg rolls. Not only that, but I was overcharged as well. When I called, they denied the incident and assured me that they sent them and they denied the overcharge. They charged me twice for lo mein whereas I only got one order with lo mein and the other one with fried rice which is included. They passed the phone to the owner who hardly spoke any English. He started yelling and refused to send the egg rolls nor refund me for the overcharge. If there is a zero star, I would rate them with it. I will never order from them again and neither should you. They are many Chinese restaurants out there which treat you with more respect. I am submitting a copy of the receipt for...

Ordered delivery and the total came out to 12 dollars. I was called by the driver and asked how much I wanted to leave for the tip, I said 20% of the bill. I was not home at the time and ordered for someone else, so I explained I wasn’t there and to leave it at the door. There was some confusion on the other end, so I reiterated twice that the total was $12 and to do 20% of the total for the tip which would be a few dollars. I look a few days later and see I was charged 20 dollars total, which would be an 8 dollar tip, or 67%. I have a hard time believe that was an accident considering I repeated myself more than once. Don’t know why I would tip more than half the cost of the meal and don’t really care for...
