China King

The place does look a bit dingy. But I have to say the hot and sour soup is quite possibly the best I’ve ever had. I’ve had other meals here that were average but now I just stick with the hot and sour soup.

This place is great! The food is always fresh and hot! It is well priced and always prepared quickly!

This place is dirty and the food is not good at all. I have eaten in both the local Chinese restaurants in the Town of Coeymans and Szechuan Empire has this place beat hands down.

This is just how a Chinese restaurant in a small rural town should be. The son of the family works the till, doing his homework behind the counter between takeout orders. The young daughter sings and dances around the restaurant. She has covered one of the three tables with her markets and paper, but it doesn’t matter. The tables are just for show and the stray out-​of-​towner who happens by. Each wall has at least two calendars on it, the parents argue in Chinese in the kitchen, the portions are obscenely large and cheap. My General Tso’s was sweet and drenched in sauce, but somehow everything was just what I was looking for. The people watching was delightful — a steady stream of take-​out orders from locals just off work. You’re getting just what you should expect — which is just fine by me.
