China King

Ever since moving to Myrtle Beach, we have been searching for great Chinese food.  State College had a plethora of amazing Chinese food, and we have been very frustrated without such restaurants here.  Tonight, as we decided to stay in and attempt to beat Mass Effect 3, we decided to pick up dinner from China King, the best that Myrtle Beach has to offer.

While China King is no College Buffet or Authentic China Wok, it's not too shabby.  For me, it's all about the fried rice, and China King delivers.  Their rice isn't full of random detritus from the kitchen.  They give me rice, pork, and onion.  It's nice and simple.

Tonight, we tried the chicken wings for the first time. While I didn't actually eat them, I did see them.  They were like no chicken wings I had seen.  When you visit Buffalo Wild Wings or KFC and order wings, they are generally very small.  Because most places serve that same little wing, people aren't outraged.  That small wing is really the average.  Well, the wings at China King are on steroids and Viagra.  They are less a wing and more the entire full size chicken appendage.  Mark informed me that they are jointed wings, but when taken apart, they were still much larger than the wings I'm used to seeing.  It's worth a trip to China King just to try them.  I didn't even eat them, but I'm glad I saw them.  I got experience points for sitting next to Mark while he ate them.

We also had the sweet and sour chicken and the garlic chicken.  Both dishes were acceptable, but neither dish was outstanding.  The other food I miss from when I lived in State College is the cheese wontons.  Every place I have tried down here includes crab in them, which neither Mark nor I care to eat.  Last time we were in State College, we went to College Buffet twice.  We were only there for a few days.

Visiting China King is always nice though.  We never eat there, as there are only a few tables.  We always get our order to go, and they usually have it ready in about ten minutes.  Additionally, the employees are incredibly nice.  Interacting with them is pleasant.

If you're in Myrtle Beach and want Chinese food, order from China King.  Their prices are pretty good, as is their food.  The employees are nice, and it's the best Chinese food Myrtle Beach has to offer.
