Very nice local restaurant with good food. I had the clay pot chicken that was delicious. My son had chicken wings which he said was good. All staff were very friendly. Dumplings were also very good.

China King is a hidden gem in the shopping center that I had been passing by for years. I finally had the chance to dine there for a work lunch and I was pleasantly surprised by the delicious food. I ordered the Lunch Special Beef Kung Pao which was spicy and full of flavor. The lunch specials are a great value and I can't wait to go back and try more dishes. The restaurant may be small, but the service was friendly and attentive. If you're in the area and looking for some tasty Chinese food, China King is definitely worth a try!

Good & polite service, nice environment. Perfect food.The selection of meals is pretty wide, well organized in a nice menu card, and it's reasonably priced. They also have Tsingtao beer, which gets them an extra point in my book.

Good and authentic food in Goleta. Found this small Chinese restaurant by Chance. I’m from Chongqing, my taste buds are still 100% Chinese even after staying in the states for almost 30 years. This will be my go to place for Chinese food when I’m visiting Santa Barbara.

One of the best Chinese spots in Santa Barbara! The food is amazing (the scallion pancakes are a must have for appetizer) but their entrees are amazing. Have been there several times and it’s never disappointed. The service is phenomenal the older gentleman at the front is exceptionally kind. The atmosphere is a great hole in the wall feeling. Would absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for a good Chinese spot to chow down. 10/10!

I came looking for good Chinese food and I got amazingly great Chinese food. We came a little early but we’re still seated without hassle. The food was very delicious and the server was kind. I recommend coming for a good experience of Chinese food as well as vegan options.

China King is hands-down the best Chinese food in Santa Barbara. Very high-quality always consistent and the flavors are better than any other Chinese place in town. We usually get the ginger, green beans, Kung, pow, chicken and hot and sour soups. They nail it every time! The owners are very kind and helpful:)

Food is delicious, portions are generous, the owners and workers are always polite and professional. The kitchen always smells like it's being cleaned in the early afternoon so I have confidence in this facility too. Standard Chinese American fare, but never disappointing. I get mostly vegetarian entrees and they're very good.

A no frills, best Chinese food in the Goleta-SB-Montecito area. Been coming here for years. It's a secret among the local area neighborhood - very good food at decent prices.

Very good food with a large selection and resonably priced. Open 6 days a week, closed on Monday, open 11a to 9p every other day. Over 40 lunch specials each day. Order by phone and have it delivered if your total is a minimum of $25. Located near Zodos bowling with lots of parking.

Good food and great service. We’ve been coming here for years and we keep coming back for the friendly faces and good service. The food is consistently enjoyable. This is part of our regular local spot rotation as a result.

Food is just ok. All dishes have too much corn starch which makes the gravy thick but tasteless. I have ordered schezwan chicken, stir fry string beans and China clay pot chicken with rice. Foods are pricey here. Service is pretty fast. I was expecting the clay pot chicken will come in real clay pot but it came in a hot metal bowl. Schezwan chicken supposed to be spicy but it was bland. Staff is very nice and friendly. Most probably I won’t recommend this restaurant.
