Chinese Restaurant

Really good discovery. Total takeout spot, so don’t plan to sit and eat inside for more than a break room at work vibe. Great service, solid food. Had the General Tso chicken combo with white rice and a spring roll. Also got some steamed dumplings. The spring roll was okay, but nothing to write home about. The chicken was excellent! The dumplings were bigger than most places I’ve gotten them at. Overall, great experience and I’ve got a go-to Chinese takeout established!

Absolutely love king’s kitchen. The ONLY downfall is not being able to have it delivered through any of the food service apps. Large portions and reasonably priced. As a family of 7, this is one of our go-to’s for Chinese. Don’t let the small store front take away from the amazing food. Call your order in and it’ll be ready when you get there.

Here visiting & this was one of the only places open later. My order was placed efficiently, with very good customer service over the phone. The food was finished within 10 minutes of me placing my order, fresh, accurate, and genuinely tasty. Although I'm not too familiar with the area, I will say the restaurant is not located in a "great" area but that's not the owners fault and you can tell they are doing the best they can to stay safe and give excellent service. Yes there were quite a few stragglers outside in not the best shape, but they left me alone. I wish the owners the best of luck & please anyone visiting take the time to support this business. It may not be the most lavish Asheville has to offer, but I was very satisfied in my experience.

I’m crowning China Taste my favorite American Chinese restaurant in Asheville. My order is always prepared correctly, the folks who work here are kind, their food is very tasty, the portion sizes are plentiful and their prices are reasonable! A few of my go-to orders include: Crispy Scallion Chicken, Chow Mei Fun, Szechuan Wontons, Crabmeat Rolls, and Chicken on Sticks (pro tip: you can make some yummy sandwiches out of Chicken on Sticks. Kewpie, broccoli/kale slaw, avocado, a little sweet soy sauce—get creative, thank me later.). They don’t drown their Crispy Scallion Chicken, and similar dishes, in the sauce like some places I’ve experienced in the past. I appreciate and respect a solid sauce to crispy chicken ratio. Their Chow Mei Fun hits the spot when I’m in the mood to take soft, airy vermicelli rice noodles with a little curry to the face. The wonton soup comes with those good fried wonton strips, not the dense/stale/flavorless oyster cracker nibblets I’ve gotten at some places. Through and through their dishes are delicious. I see an attention to detail and consistency with their cooking that’s made me a fan. On top of it all they offer online ordering and they’re open 6 days a week until 10pm. I always do pick-up and my order has always been ready quick. Yeah, the parking lot’s…a vibe sometimes, but whatever. I’ve never been harassed by anyone that’s hanging around out there, but hey, CT also offers delivery if you’d prefer. I wish you nothing but longterm success, China Taste. Thank you for making delicious food, especially when I’m too tired to cook. I’m glad we’re in the neighborhood together.

This is by far the worst Chinese food I've ever had in my life. I almost thought I was on a reality TV show and the host was going to jump out from the corner and give me my real food. I ordered from here Xmas day so I wanted to give them some slack but the food was so bad I had to leave a review. The pu pu platter for two was disgusting. It was like it was left out 2 days ago and re-heated up in a microwave except the taste of old dirty oil overpowered everything. The pork was a fried piece of fat, no meat. The chicken on a stick (was it suppose to be teriyaki?) was super dry and hard. The dumplings was completely overcooked and rubbery, could barely bite into it. The general TSO was the only barely edible thing after throwing out the pu pu platter. Pork fried rice had nothing in it besides rice.

Food has went downhill. We've been ordering here for years. The orange chicken is dry and it's just leftover scrap peices now. Not worth it anymore. Get better quality chicken and we'll be back.

If you are hungry and end enjoy Chinese noodle soups, this is a great place to enjoy soups. The portions are very good, you can create your own level of spicy, and the broth is delicious. I recommend the dumpling soup. The rice dish was also good, but noodle dishes would be my recommendation.

The Spicy and Sour Chicken Pottage Noodle bowl here is truly a dish that heals the body and the soul. One of my favorite noodle dishes in Asheville. Pair with a crisp TsingTao and you’ll have a perfect meal. Will provides great service and I always make sure to make it extra spicy. This place is highly recommended

I had some exceptional dine-in service tonight at dinner. For I always order cream cheese rangoons, this time I got the sizzling shrimp with grilled teriyaki chicken and a side of fried rice. Everything was cooked to perfection. I will always come back for more at this location.

If you're in the food for something fast yet tasty, look no further. Get your Asian food fix satisfied. A solid place to get a quick bite.

Very cute little restaurant. The staff were all very nice and attentive. And the food was very good. Would definitely recommend.

This is a great little family owned place. Small but great food. Very friendly staff. We loved it.

My only problem is that they don’t take cards, and I don’t always carry cash. I like the food because I’m from NY/NJ area and finding this place is a gem since it is very similar to home. Chinese food in this part of Virginia is not so great, but these people in Gretna have come the closest. I loved it. A little on the saltier side for my preference for my bonesless spare ribs, other than that I intend to go back. I see some negative comments, from years ago, I’m not sure if they have changed management, but they are very quiet and soft spoken. Remember there is a language barrier and also a different culture. Most non americanized chinese people in restaurants come off as rude, but I think it’s just a culture thing.

The woman is incredibly rude. She refused to take an order after being asked if they use MSG in their food. It’s a simple question asked because of food sensitivity concerns.

This place doesn't look like much, however I must say I was pleasantly surprised how good the food was. Also the price makes it even a better deal. I got Shrimp with Broccoli in garlic sauce with shrimp fried rice. I couldn't stop eating it was so good, so definitely try this dish if you like a little sweet and spice.

Door Dash order - first and only time placing an order at this location. Not sure how you mess up Chicken/Rice Soup ~ However rates like Nothing at all. The Dumplings were “Deep Fried” like as if I asked for them to be well done. (Obviously I did not) Best part of this $$ experience was Fast delivery ~ TY Door Dash Driver. Next time I forget to bring something to work and I all I want is hot soup…I will be better off without eating. Sorry for bad review - however it’s honest and I don’t want anyone to waste $.

Went here because the pictures made the food look really good. Super dingy and dirty inside. When I walked in, other customers waiting for food just stared at me. No one was at the counter or came to greet me. I awkwardly waited 10 minutes and decided to go elsewhere. It's probably a good thing though, not sure I trust a place that run down to make my food.

I’m just curious to why the fried rice was so darn brown with no veggies and egg Had a distinct flavor couldn’t really put my finger on but wasn’t a fan. The garlic scallops wasn’t thoroughly cooked it was like a like light toss in the garlic sauce lol everything was warm not steaming hot. Good portion and price just not as flavorful as I’m used too Quick turnaround time too quick lol

I have lived in this county for 10+ years & I had never eaten here until Friday night. I did order food at 8:10 p.m. ( They close @ 9 ) by phone & was told they were busy ( which I appreciated that they communicated that information. ) When I arrived to get my food, I did have to wait. Others were waiting as well. Lady apologized 𝗔 𝗹𝗼𝘁 about the wait to all of us. She was very polite. ( I'm not sure how many they have working in there either. ) All I know is the Egg Rolls ... 🥴🥴🥴🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🙌🙌🙌🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤 𝗕𝗘𝗦𝗧 𝗜'𝗩𝗘 𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗥 𝗛𝗔𝗗!!! They were sooooo delicious. I didn't get a picture of them because we all dug in... 🤦🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤣 The food was fresh & amazing. The Orange Chicken & Shrimp Fried Rice were my favorite. & the Crab Rangoons 🤌🤌🤌✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️ Y'all.... If you haven't eaten here, give it a try! I have been missing out! Only issue I did have was we were missing an item from the order 😞 but again, they were slammed & I understand that.

Food is always hot and fresh. The sauces are not overly sweet and not overly salty. Everything always seems cooked to order. The building appearance is not great but the food is great and employees are friendly. Expect to move car to the side after ordering and needing to wait on order to be brought to your car. As I mentioned it's cooked to order, and worth the wait. You can eat inside but the building is aging and atmosphere is lacking a bit of its gleem.

The food was awesome!!! We will be back for sure. Prices are reasonable and they give you plenty of food.

Been eating here since 2018 and the man and his wife are always so down to earth with helping you! The food is always great!!! Even when you do a call in order you still receive great service from them both!! The best Chinese food in the area tbh!

Shrimp fried rice was over cooked. Only 4 small shrimps was in the rice. The chicken was over cooked and tasted like old grease. First and last time eating here. Hong Kong Express needs to reopen fast!!!

I don't eat here much but in Gaffney this place has the best Chinese food period the one on Floyd baker Blvd is too busy and forgot how to provide good food. When I order chicken. Wings I don't mean baby chickens. Smh.
