Classic Chinese American Cuisine. Shrimp with Snow Peas Chicken with Mushrooms LoMein with BBQ Pork Egg Rolls Hot, tasty, great portions. What more can you ask for! China King continues to be a classic stop for us. I'm SOOO thankful that they have re-opened their indoor dining space. Came here on a whim while dad was visiting from out of town and really enjoyed everything. The noodles were incredible and not over seasoned, very tasty and even better as leftovers the following day. Hidden MVP was the Shrimp with Snow Peas which were everything I would dream of in this dish! The SNOW PEAS must be in season because these were perfectly cooked but still crisp and sweet. If I had to ask for anything it would be maybe a little bit of ambience music? But the service was great and you can tell it was family-owned by the son getting us our drinks while the daughter sat doing her hw at the register. Will ALWAYS come here for more chinese whenever the mood strikes!

It's tough to find good Chinese food in Palm Springs, but friends told us there is a very good chef at China King, a place we would drive past but never ventured into. Are we ever glad we decided to eat there on a recent Saturday night! This is not a fancy place at all -- very modest, almost stuck in time, and the interior probably hasn't changed much since the Sixties. But don't judge a book by its cover or a restaurant by its lack of fancy decor. The food is DELICIOUS, beautifully prepared and the servings are enormous. And the bill? Incredibly reasonable! I judge a Chinese restaurant by their Singapore noodles. These were the best! Thankfully, they don't have pork which I don't eat or like but they did have plenty of big, succulent shrimp and lots of tender, juicy, thinly sliced chunks of chicken. Some places mix into many noodles but the ratio of protein and vegetables to rice noodles is just perfect and it was beautifully spiced -- just enough curry to give it a little heat and some rich flavors. Scrumptious! To fulfill our daily requirement for vegetables, we ordered the Vegetable Delight and were served a platter of fresh vegetables including broccoli, carrots, white and green onions and water chestnuts. These were fresh vegetables, bright in color and beautifully, carefully chopped to make them appealing and bite sized. They were served in a subtle white sauce that allowed the taste of the vegetables to come through and they were cooked just right -- neither mushy from overcooking or raw from undercooking. It was a family sized platter of vegetables. The third dish was fish fillet served in black bean sauce -- another total winner! Fish was lightly powdered (maybe in corn starch?) and NOT battered. It was perfectly cooked fish, tender and flavorful. And mixed into the dish were some chopped red and green bell peppers and other vegetables to give it color and visual appeal. The amount of sauce was just right, neither skimping nor drowning the fish and vegetables. All three dishes were attractive and appetizing. Service is friendly and efficient at this family run operation. They brought us some bowls of free brown rice which we didn't need. And then we were astonished by the check, a mere $53.00 for such excellent food. Again, I can't emphasize the generosity of the portions here -- they are family sized portions, so bring friends and family. We could not possibly have eaten all they brought to two people but they were glad to package up the leftovers which we ate for an excellent lunch the following day. This very traditional, modestly appointed restaurant reminded me of the Chinese restaurants of my youth in the Chinatowns of Los Angeles and New York City which makes it the perfect accompaniment to visitors to Palm Springs looking for a nostalgic Mid-Century experience. Let those corporate Chinese food places be damned! We can't wait to go back and try everything else and spend less money to enjoy it!

After a hard days work fixing up a condo, we decided to eat at home, and we ordered China King. Sesame chicken, was good all white meat and very tasty, orange chicken a little spicy but also tasty! Some chicken fried rice and white meat chicken & lo mein. It feed 3 of us, and had enough leftovers to feed another 3 the food over all was good. Service was great, the whole family was working the restaurants that night! Parking is ez.

While staying in downtown Palm Springs, we were craving traditional Chinese food. These little places are usually the best, if you're looking for authentic tastes. We were greeted by one of the waitresses and directed to our table. Once seated, the came to begin taking our order. They were very patient with us, while we browsed the menu. This appeared to be a family run business, which meant (even more) that this would probably be very authentic. The seating wasn't fancy but gave an ambiance of a 'mom & pop' location. After placing our orders, the food began to come out within 5-10 minutes beginning with the wonton soup. Although i'm not a soup person, this had an amazing flavor profile. The remaining dishes trickled out minutes after each other. Everything tasted fresh with a traditional, but unique taste for the restaurant. When eating at a restaurant, we look for the traditional flavor but understand that each place will have their own recipe - this is what makes each restaurant unique. This place was a great find, for us, and already dedicated ourselves to coming again when in Palm Springs. We highly recommend trying this restaurant. *Highlights* Friendly service A+ Clean restaurant Good variety of traditional Chinese food Great flavorChicken

This is a family run restaurant that has been around over 50 years. The food is hot and fresh. Nothing earth shaking about the menu but sometimes you just want some familiar comfort food. Portions are huge. Staff is attentive. Lots of the usual choices. Nothing fancy but well done.
