The food was absolutely awful, bland, dry and over cooked. I got the combination fried rice and my grandmother got vegetable lo mein. Honestly even the crab rangoons were really bad too. The only edible thing was the egg drop soup. As for the restaurant itself it was cleaned and well organized but the food is just not good. It is a small town so you cant expect much.

My husband and I wanted to try a new place today. We wasn't starving however we wanted to sample. We tried a bite of everything that was available. Some of the food had been there a while, some trays were empty. The nice lady let us know when the trays were refilled. The top 3 items of mine were: stuffed mushrooms (heavy with cream cheese), the fresh beef and broccoli, and spicy string beans. The battered coconut shrimp was dry but I still enjoyed it. The orange chicken was fresh and I liked the sauce. They had 2 soup options, the classic egg drop and hot and sour. The price was really good and surprised us for a Sunday buffet. We paid less than $22 total.

I get no satisfaction is writing less-than-excellent reviews, but do so hoping ownership cares enough to listen to what is intended to be constructive criticism. My wife and I used to love this place . Five stars all the way. But, it' been about four years since we've been here, just before we moved from Smithville. Our experience last night was just lesser than we've experienced here before. Let's start with the positive. The crab rangoon was great! Egg rolls were good too. However, the General Tso's chicken was way overcooked and very tough. The cashew chicken was way too salty - not just too salty. Besides these miscues, it's what we expected here. Maybe it was a cook having a bad night, but I do want to bring this to their attention. I wish these folks well. Support local!

Be aware when ordering your food from China King in the City of Smithville, MO. This evening, I was at the restaurant to pick up my call in order, the lady took my payment and she went to put the food order together using her bare hands and I saw as she wiped her hands on her clothes then picked up the crab rangoons with her bare hands then put them into a bag, but she used a tong to pick up the egg rolls. The two male cooks preparing food but no one didn’t wear gloves. When the lady handed my order I brought up what I saw, she was only interested to see on reimbursing me back for the egg rolls 🤦🏻‍♀️. I let her know that she touch with her bare hands the register, her necklace, wiped her hands on her clothes and then touched food - I asked if she knew she was doing wrong (cross contamination) and she said “I know”. So for those of you that enjoy eating Chinese good - I DO NOT RECOMMEND this restaurant - be cognizant of how people prepare & handle your food order.
