I went to this restaurant during the lunch special hours to get the sweet&sour chicken with steamed rice for $8.05, however, I asked for the rice to be in a separate takeout container because my friend can't eat the chicken, the woman at the counter acted like she could not understand what I was asking for. I explained in detail why I needed the chicken in a separate container, yet she said that I could not have them separated despite my reasoning being allergies and that i wanted a smaller portion. The woman said that I could pay $13.95 to get just the chicken in a regular dinner-sized order and pay another $5 to get a quart of steamed rice on the side instead, which would cost $18.95 plus tax. The fact that I would be forced to pay more than $10 additionally from the lunch special price and that i did not want a large portion of food was absolutely ridiculous. Clearly, this restaurant could care less about their business and customers, especially because when I said that I didn't have enough money to pay the $18.95 and they couldn't possibly use 1 extra cardboard carrier to split the chicken from the rice, that I was not going to support their business anymore and I will never go to a China King ever again in the future, she spoke perfectly clear English versus a few minutes prior acting like she could not speak in English at all. I was a weekly customer for years, however, after this charade, I will never order from any China Kings ever again because acting like you don't understand English, but suddenly they can speak in English perfectly is one of the most disgusting ways to manipulate a customer into a transaction that was clearly not necessary all over a request to separate the rice from the sweet&sour chicken due to food-related allergies. I am beyond disgusted.
