Cool, little place in a small town setting! The food was good overall. I just wish the service was a bit better overall. Driving up to the building was not much to look at, but when you walked in, it became much more appealing and welcoming to eat. Overall, it was a great place to get your grub on!
Food is always good and crazy fast, if I call an order from Stillman I have to leave right then and it's usually ready when I get there. Great Crab Rangoon and egg drop soup as well.
This last time I tried the curry chicken with onion and had them add mixed vegetables and it is definitely my new favorite dish.
I have never had a bad meal from this place. Every time I get food here, it’s awesome. Highly recommend. Their portion sizes are huge too! When I order the orange chicken dinner combo, I always have leftovers for lunch the next day.
Had pick up, but it is the best Chinese food I have had!!!! The veggies are delicious in (steamed veggies, such a good variety) all the food was delicious and cooked perfectly. I highly recommend it. I also recommend the general so chicken. (Not sure how that is slept) but delicious it was delicious.

This restaurant is always a great place for Chinese food. They do a fantastic job 👏
This was my third visit and every one of them has been perfect. They do a great job with online orders, take-out and even dining in. You can have it your way without going to that nasty burger joint.
My wife asked an interesting question tonight when I was unboxing the food.... " is there MSG in it?" ....Hmmm my guess was "must be, it tastes so good!" LOL to my surprise, right on the front of the folded menu was a little "no msg" logo.
Small town America means very limited options. My daughter and I decided to come here after the Byron boys track-and-field indoor invitational. A few issues. I asked three times for their drink options. I was met with the response of only what was in the soda machine. Flabbergasted, because I would expect there to be coffee or tea or something else besides soft drinks. Alas, no. Subsequently, my supposedly spicy Szechuan chicken was anything but spicy. If anything, it was bland. Even my daughter, who won't eat spicy food, took a bite and determined that it was no problem for her. On the plus side, the chicken sticks were fantastic! The crab rangoon were fried properly and not overly fried. They were stuffed with a healthy sum of crab and cream cheese. Finally, I had to go to the register myself, even though my daughter and I were there for table service dining, to take care of the bill. At the register, I was met by an approximately 8 year old boy who had earbuds in. I suspect this is a family-run business. I asked if he was "old enough" to take charge of my bill and use the machine. He said, "yes". He then said my card was declined. I knew that wasn't possible and didn't want to embarrass him any further and so his older sister, perhaps 13 or 14 years years-old, did the exact same thing as her younger brother and it was declined again. I then asked them if there was a chip reader that they ought to be using. Finally, I believe the mother must have typed in the numbers of my credit card to get the sale to go through. Later, I had a lot of gurgles in the tummy and other action I'd rather not post online! Over four hours later and the gurgling continues. If I ever return to Byron, I'll probably try another restaurant. Sorry, China King. I left a $10 tip for a $34 meal for two. I wish you good luck with your business.
Great food I'm impressed this is the best meal i had in a while Great service fast and reliable got my order right only thing missing was the fortune cookie i will be back soon 100% recommend.
I love their food, very consistent! My go too for Chinese
Food is like a gormet restaurant, exceptionally better than I expected. They also make their own sauces. Service is topnotch and the atmosphere is very comforting. I couldn't find anything bad about this place.
