"Today's lunch special comes from King Food, located deep in the corner of South Philly. This small establishment has been around for years, and I happen to know and teach the children of the family that runs it. Today, I finally decided to give them a try. I ordered the $6 lunch special, which included General Tso chicken with chicken fried rice and fresh vegetables. The General Tso chicken was perfectly cooked and fried, not too tough or chewy like some other Chinese restaurants in the neighborhood. The fried rice was very fresh, and the vegetables served with it were also fresh and delicious. The broccoli was especially fresh. They also offer delivery and are very friendly people. If you're ever in the area and looking for affordable and satisfying food, I highly recommend visiting King Food. Mention my name when you go, as they know me well."

Working nearby and was looking for something good on a small budget. The general tso 's lunch special was excellent. Perhaps not the 'best I ever had, ' but it was worth the wait. Fresh and huge portion. Looking forward to my next visit.

Shrimp toast was covered and shining with oil General tso also very oily and chewy chicken Beef chow mein fun was very bland and pieces of beef smelled funky (Traducido por Google) Las tostadas de camarones estaban cubiertas y brillando con aceite. General tso también pollo muy aceitoso y masticable La diversión de la carne chow mein era muy sosa y los trozos de carne olían raro

The food was served quickly, and the portions were huge! The service was friendly, and I even encountered the famous woman mentioned in other reviews who delivered our food. My only critique is that the pork fried rice lacked flavor. However, I did notice that everything fried appeared to be cooked in fresh oil, which might explain why the rice didn't have the residual flavors from previous orders. The prices were reasonable, and I would definitely consider ordering from here again. I found it a bit challenging to place an order over the phone due to the noise level and some language barriers, but they do offer online ordering as an alternative.

The food at King Food is excellent. Despite its appearance as a convenience store, it is actually a hidden gem of a Chinese American takeout and delivery joint. The prices are very reasonable for the generous portions and top-notch food quality. On my last visit, I ordered the General Tso's chicken and was delighted by the delicious and perfectly cooked dish with a satisfying crunch. If you're in the mood for Chinese takeout or fast food, make sure to give this place a try. The exterior could use some sprucing up to be more inviting, but I've come to appreciate the charming hole-in-the-wall vibe of the store. It even has a chic feel to it. But most importantly, the food is simply outstanding...
