Fantastic! We recently moved to the area and the last couple Chinese restaurants have not been up to par. We saw China King when went to Food Lion next door and had to try it. I love BBQ spare ribs which are hard to find in TN. These were fabulous with fried rice, not greasy but flavorful. Excellent sweet sauce. My son had Pork Lo Mein which he said was great. The egg drop soup was excellent! We have found our weekly go to with nice lunch specials and friendly staff. Our pick up order was ready on time and still warm when we got home. Thank you so much!!
I don't think I've ever left a bad review for Chinese food in my life, but don't eat this. Tastes and textures were all wrong, from the thick dumpling wrappers to their odd sausage-like stuffing, the heavy cornstarched, globular sauce on the beef and broccoli (undercooked), all just yuck. Temperature was okay, delivery was fine. They sent no cutlery or hot oil even tho we asked (and paid for the oil) , but sent a mountain of mustard, soy sauce & duck sauce. We didn't expect fancy anything, just regular takeout Chinese and this was inedible. We settled on a bag of chips from the hotel lobby, which was far superior. Never again.
This place is amazing! The food is always fresh, the lady who runs the show is very friendly and efficient. This is my family's go to spot for dinner when we don't want to cook!
What I can tell you, as a "ordered here 2-3 times a month" since I moved to Nashville over a year ago veteran is that the food is fantastic.
Never had undercooked issues.
Never had burnt food.
Never had "misorders".
The workers here are all about serving their food, to you, with whatever accomodation(s) you find yourself fancying.
Professional staff with an obvious good work ethic. Example? Sure. Just about a week ago they posted a sign changing their hours - they take Tuesdays off now. I'm glad they're finally taking a day off of their 7-day work week.
Best Chinese in Nashville. These guys are still serving - PF Chang's had to close doors. Ha.

Absolutely no nonsense Chinese food to go. You order and pick it up. No seating available to dine right now-just a few seats to wait for your order to be ready. We ordered and in 10 minutes it was ready. A lot of places use plastic trays for the takeout condiments but often they look dingy-here they use the cardboard box the packs came in. Like I said: no nonsense! Good food at a good price.
The portion was good for the price, but I was moved by the flavor at all. The dumplings were so weird! Not sure what was in them or how they were cooked, but I didn’t like them at all. I wished the specified in the menu their not traditional dumplings. Overall, I don’t think I will be returning here.
Good food, nice being able to watch food being prepared. Cleanliness could use more attention in restrooms.
BUT, THE LATEST WORKERS ARE TOTALLY INSENSITIVE TO CUSTOMER RELATIONS.
I have been going to China King, Bell road for years, they mixed up my order, after returning the order, the LADY on the counter started looking at me funny and said something in Chinese, then reluctantly refunded my money.
Many years a patron, but she said she could afford to lose me as a Valued patron.
MY FAMILY WILL FIND ANOTHER CARRY OUT

Really good Chinese food; a lot of these places look the same and many taste the same but this place really stands out. The cook on the chicken with snow peas and especially the fried rice was fantastic. The dumplings were superb too, very meaty with a great dipping sauce. I'll definitely visit this place again when in town
