Oh King Yuan, how I desperately wanted to like you. You had such potential...you are within walking distance from my house...you have a very large menu..your owners are oh so friendly and have a really cute kid that runs around the kitchen. But your food. Sigh. Its just not good.
I placed a large takeout order for my family Saturday night. We ordered a good variety of food so its not like we had just one random bad dish. Everything was just blah. I ordered the pan fried pot stickers and my go-to dish, Sesame chicken. The pot stickers looked pretty and the dipping sauce was good and garlicky, but once I bit into them I was instantly turned off. The filling was just plain gross. It almost tasted a little gamey. I couldn't even finish the first one. The sesame chicken was horrible. All dark meat and tiny pieces. Sesame batter would have been a better name for the dish because that was all I tasted. My boyfriend of course ordered the Mongolian beef and was not happy with it at all. The beef was slimy and rubbery, and the sauce was too spicy. The crab rangoon were nothing but cream cheese in flat wontons and the egg rolls were very bland. I didn't try the other dishes we ordered, but everyone agreed that they have had better Chinese food at the mall food court. Halfway through the meal we all kind of put down our forks and started to rummage through the refrigerator for any kind of leftovers we could find. Anything would have been better than what he had.
Sadly, I would not recommend King Yuans to anyone.
