"Chinese restaurants seem to have vanished altogether, in favor of Asian buffets, Thai, and Sushi. Fortunately there is China King, a place to enjoy wonderful Chinese-American food the way it used to be, not too fried, not too sweet. The place is old-fashioned and authentic. I live nowhere near Leesburg, but I stop at China King there every chance I get before taking a flight from Dulles Airport nearby. Highly recommended."

"The food was okay, not something I would return or recommend. The food was all served in plastic to go bowls and paper cups. The prices were high for small portions the orange chicken did have nice big chunks. The dumplings which is what I was craving were very thick and chewy.
The employees were super sweet."
Kerri Lane
"The best Chinese food we have had in years. The fried dumplings are beautifully stuffed and not greasy at all. The fried rice is awesome, ask for it spicy if you like a little heat. The food was nice and hot when it was delivered. The service is tremendous and friendly. Fantastic is the only adjective left but it’s totally deserved. Highly recommend"
