Everyone has that one special cheap Chinese take out which they just love no matter how unhealthy it looks. This place holds a really special place in my heart because it was my go to restaurant whenever I was short on cash while studying at UB. It is located right across the UB south campus and is probably the best Chinese take out place around. This place is like a student's life saver with their low prices and huge quantities. It is a self service restaurant if you want to dine in. The lady at the counter is always super friendly and makes sure the food is exactly how I want it. Coming to the food, here's what I've tried:
Chicken/Shrimp Lo mein- The BEST dish they serve here! Tried it with chicken and shrimp and they were both right on point! The sliced chicken prices are huge and so flavorful. Add a bit of sriracha which is kept on their tables if you like an extra kick of spice in your food!
Sesame chicken- Another beautiful dish! It is sweet and crispy.
Shrimp roll- big pieces of shrimp with veggies rolled and deep fried! A bit too oily but still love it! -

Not a bad option for weekday lunch near UB South Campus. The Bean Curd with Mixed Vegetables lunch special and the General Tso's Chicken lunch special were both $5.75 each, as of September 2019. The fried rice that comes with the specials is rather sad, since the only vegetable in the rice is onion, but for something less than $6, I'll accept it. I was surprised that the General Tso's was just chicken, and no vegetables at all, but, again, this was less than $6. (My husband says that the General Tso's here is much better than at the Chinese place on UB North, Young Chow). The bean curd and vegetables were also OK for the price paid.
China King does offer a more authentic Chinese menu--look at the board with pictures on the side wall. Unfortunately, none of the options are vegetarian-friendly, but I would encourage omnivores to give this authentic menu a shot over the American Chinese menu. There's more to Chinese food than the battered fried stuff. -

I thought I reviewed this place! Obviously, I'm a regular here (given that it's right across the street from school and they have amazing prices). I usually come here for their lunch special (it's about $6.81 at the time I'm writing this review). I usually get either chicken and broccoli, sesame chicken, chicken with cashew or general tso with fried rice. All really excellent. This is probably the best Chinese food I've had in buffalo and I tell all my friends about this place and bring them here when I can. It has all the typical foods you would find at a Chinese restaurant. I also forgot to mention that their beef lo mein is bomb as well! I've never had a meal that I was unsatisfied with.
If you can't make the lunch special they have a dinner combo I get sometimes (a slightly larger container with an egg roll usually with the meat choices I mentioned earlier) and it comes up to about $8.50. Which isn't bad! I'm usually full and have a little left over for either a late night snack or for breakfast lol.
If you want above average Chinese food in buffalo!! This is the place to go!
P.S. I would suggest calling them and placing your order so you don't have to sit and wait. I'm just lazy so that's how I do it, haha. -

I really enjoy China King, the food is always fresh, and the customer service is excellent. When you call to place your order, it is done about 15 minutes from the time you call. I really enjoyed the fried chicken wings, as well as the fried rice. I also enjoyed the barbecue spareribs, and pineapple chicken.

Great Chinese food. It's my to go option whenever I don't want to cook (aka laziness). Their fried chicken wings are amazing and great soups for winter.
