Crispy fried xiu mai, egg rolls both chicken and pork were delicious and excellent, the fried rice tastes like you're in Vietnam at a street vendor. I personally ordered 4 prawn balls but secretly wanted a half dozen, just for me.

If the business owner reaches out to me and offers to refund some/all of tonight's purchase, I will gladly accept.
Egg Rolls:
I had family visiting from SoCal so I ordered a party tray of 50 egg rolls. The eggrolls did not taste good at all. They were very overcooked and some were outright burnt. I accidentally bit into the burnt end on one and heard a cracking sound. It scared me... I thought maybe I had cracked a tooth. But it turns out it was just the rock-hard burnt outer shell.
Rating: 0 out of 5
Chow Mein:
I also ordered a small party tray of chicken chow mein. A few of the noodles and carrots were blackened/burnt (probably just a byproduct of being wok/pan cooked on high heat) but otherwise it tasted reasonable. I'm happy to report the chicken was tender. Most everyone felt it tasted okay and would give it an average rating.
Rating: 3 out of 5
Fried Chicken:
The fried chicken was the highlight. We ordered 6 pieces. They were pretty large pieces and everyone said they tasted great.
Rating: 5 out of 5
By the way, the price in April 2016 for a tray of 50 egg rolls was $45.05 and the price for a small tray of chicken chow mein was $15.10. The current price for the egg rolls is $67.43 (up 50%) and chow mein is $20.10 (up 33%). That's a pretty steep increase in just 3.5 years. -

When needing to order a party tray we order from here. They have the best egg rolls and chow mein.

Awesome food, fuck Panda Express. Panda express is dog shit compared to this no cap: great people really hard working. Every King Eggroll is a great place.

Use to come here often as a child, and it's just as I remember it (just with higher prices). It's a good place to grab a bite to eat, if you're just craving fried foods. They also have Dim sum and other options to choose from, but I typically come here for the fried foods. It's a place that I have returned to, but there's really nothing special about it, which is the reason why I didn't give it a higher rating. It's just not a place that I would really recommend to my friends, unless they really wanted to eat here. I will say that I appreciate that they give 4 items in their dim sum menu, because I'm used to items coming in 3's for Dim sum (but these are a little smaller than normal).
~~Parking: Shared parking lot b/c it's located in a plaza. There are spots marked for 30 min in front of the store, but no one really checks.
~~Service: They're fast to serve and depending on what you order, you might have to wait a little for the people in the back to package your food for you.
~~Best Part: Fried Shrimp Balls. I honestly come here only for the Shrimp Balls, but they're just gradually increasing in price over the years.
~~Worst Part: SIRACHA.....They give your the "fake" Siracha to use when you're dining there. They do have the real siracha for purchase, but it's by the bottle.
~~Return: Most likely, idk where else to get the roasted pig/ducks and the shrimp balls will draw me in if I'm in the area.
