Authentic Americanized Chinese. This isn't authentic Chinese food, this isn't a cultural dining experience, this is Chinese food takeout in a classic form. Honestly, this style of restaurant is a rare gem in our area considering the dominance of increasingly expensive and meticulous fast casual restaurants. This place harkens back to an era where delivery was pizza or Chinese and you knew what you were getting. 4 stars because Fortune Cookies are not included with your meal.

In DMV area, one of the best places to get inexpensive Chinese food and you don't have to compromise on taste.

Ordered shrimp lo mein (no veggies) and shrimp & broccoli. My toddlers (3.5 & 2yr old) really loved it! They ate almost half of each meal all by themselves. Getting the kids to eat veggies is already hard enough and they just gobbled up the broccoli no problem. It was very delicious!

Hole in the wall. Service not the best but this isn't a fancy sitdown restaurant. The prices are cheap to moderate and you get a lot of food for your money. But warning, for freshest taste and best results, dine in. If you take out or get delivery, it won't taste as good. Our go to is Orange Chicken (huge portion in container) and small side of white rice & Hunan Chicken. Both were hot and fresh and very good for fast casual Chinese food!

Love this place. Have been coming here for the past 15 years. Food is tasty and very reasonably priced. Not a lot of ambiance but lot of dine in seating.

Been coming here for 18 years. One of the best kung pao chicken anywhere, #1 or #31 on the menu.

The food is so so good! They don't deliver to my address as I am outside their zone but I don't mind picking it up because it is that good! Best Chinese food I think I have ever had!

I found myself having to go to Falls Church and took the opportunity to get takeout from the China King location here. I live in western Fairfax County and have kind of been craving China King since they closed the Fairfax Towne Center location a few years ago (as well as the Herndon one!). The food is what it is: Americanized Chinese takeout. To expect something else is unreasonable. My grandparents owned a restaurant and served Americanized Chinese food. They also served full American breakfasts , hamburgers, pork chops, and a really good chicken fried steak. But that was not the Chinese food my grandmother made at home for the family. China King has been in NoVa for over 2 decades and they continue to be consistently satisfying. Also, no one goes to China King for the dine-in ambiance and service. Please don't expect it to be good. The food is what counts. I ordered hot and sour soup, twice-cooked pork, shrimp lo mein, green beans with dried tofu, and eggplant in garlic sauce. The hot and sour soup was good as usual - a little tang, a little spice, and jammed with ingredients. I think there used to be wood ear fungus in this, but apparently not any longer. This is something you should finish while it's hot during the first meal. The leftovers will be starchy and clumpy. Twice-cooked pork was also very good, with large pieces of pork and napa cabbage swimming in that dark slightly sweet, slightly spicy sauce. I think I even tasted a little bit of wok hei in this dish. The chicken fried rice is unbeatable! Generously packed with thin slices of white meat chicken, it's a tasty carb load that you can shovel into your mouth. The shrimp lo mein was fine. It had a decent amount of small shrimp and a light flavor - one that is a magnitude greater than the flavorless lo mein from Panda Express. Surprisingly, my daughter said that it wasn't oily enough. So if you want an oilier version, go to Hunan Cafe in Greenbriar Town Center. The eggplant in garlic sauce was just okay. It has a distinct tomato flavor which I'm not used to. The standard that I measure this dish against is the one from Hunan Cafe. The green beans and dried tofu was good. It also comes in that dark slightly sweet sauce. I wish there was more dried tofu in this dish - it was about 75% green beans. I think I detected a bit of wok hei here, as well. I hope China King remains in business for years to come since they fill a vital niche here in the NoVa Chinese takeout ecosystem. I'd hate to have to resort to Panda Express for my fried rice/lo mein needs.

This used to be my go-to place in high school for Chinese-American food and I hadn't been back in a while, but tonight I decided to check them out for the nostalgia factor. I got a General Tso's and combination aka the china king fried rice and would highly recommend them on the menu. Go visit this small business if you want Chinese American food and are in the area
