So we have lived in Bolivar for well over a decade and only recently (around the start of COVID) started visiting this restaurant. We enjoy a variety of the food prepared here. At times the food is great, and fresh. So much so that I have bragged about this place being a hidden gem in town.
Worst experience? My husband and I both work in Springfield and live just north of Bolivar, between Bolivar and Humansville. So when we leave Springfield we are a good 50 minutes from central Bolivar area. (where the restaurant is located).
On the day in question we ordered while shopping at Walmart, after traveling said hour from Springfield. Ordering over the phone presented the first problem. It was dinner time, 4:30 PM. While ordering I could constantly hear the other phone line ringing off the hook, I was placed on a hold a few times, this of course didn't bother me. I gave my order and the older lady on the phone seemed very disgruntled. After finishing my order, she immediately hung up on me. No confirmation of what I ordered. (This led to a few items not being on my ticket).
Got to the restaurant and was greeted at the door by the owner's 10-12 year old son. As a minor can't say too much about him. He is a child and is there every day. I feel sorry for him as I am sure he just wants have a normal after school life. He is super rude and does NOT communicate well. After explaining four times what I had ordered, he finally brings my food to the front table and when I say slammed the food down, I mean he slammed it as hard as he could. I bit my tongue, as he is a minor but I was heated. Payed and left.
Traveled the 20 minutes home to find the food bland, unseasoned and dry. I don't know but I think I will be going elsewhere for Chinese food.

A busy place on weekends and Sundays. Food is good but space for seating rather tight for space. A little bit of waiting time to get served--depends on size of crowd, obviously.

We dined on a Friday night and had no wait. We actually watched as crab Rangoon appetizers were assembled by the manager . Service fantastic, ambience lovely which was a pleasant surprise as this restaurant is in a strip mall location. Very reasonable with portions just right.
Wonton soup had 4 large in a small version excellent broth. If we pass through on a future trip,we'll definitely come here again.

2 Friends & I ate here in 2019. We all ordered cashew chicken. The chicken was so dry and rubbery we couldn't eat it. The Fried Won Tons were the Only good part of the meal.
The lady who ran the place didn't like our polite complaints about the food and told us we were Wrong! She said she has a customer who orders that all the time & loves it and that she can have him come to tell us so!! lol like that would change our perception on the bad food...
She also allowed her 2 boys to play in the restaurant while we were eating and they were rambunctious, throwing things around the room and being noisy. And to top this off she had Religious music playing - in a Chinese restaurant of all places! I don't know how she can afford to keep this crappy restaurant open. I'll never go back here again!

June 2022: We've gotten takeout here quite often in the last 12 months and have NEVER had a bad experience. The food has always been very good and authentic. I think those other reviewers must have this place confused with another, because it has never been anything but fresh and tasty.
(Unless they have never been outside of SW MO and think tasteless deep fried chicken chunks are cashew chicken, or that spaghetti noodles are lo mein. ha ha ha.)
They only have takeout, I believe, as they haven't enough staff.

Disgusting! Don’t bother, and what’s with the plastic screen ? I wonder if it’s even been cleaned since they put it in?

We eat here all the time. Today. we came here after church. My wife ordered cashew chicken and when it showed up the sauce tasted like pure soy sauce. We told them it tasted different than it normally does but we were going to keep it and we were not looking for a free meal or anything. The hostess proceeded to come over and ask us "what's wrong with you", she argued that the sauce was just fine, she turned to other customers and ask them if we were being ridiculous, and then proceeded to take my wife's plate from her while she was trying to eat it! We did not ask for a free meal or for more food we were just letting them know it tasted different than normal. This was the absolute most pathetic experience I've ever had. I have never in my life had a restaurant try to humiliate me for letting them know something was a little different. And when I'm not even asking for a free meal or a different plate and you just take my food from me when I'm eating. I will never in my life be back to this restaurant again

On google maps we clicked "restaurants near you" and this place came up. It was good. Nothing spectacular but I'd certainly go back.

Service is friendly. But the food is average. It all tastes like it is shipped to the store frozen then deep-fried or reheated, not home-made or authentic. The Hot and Sour Soup is good with the little crispy noodles served in a little white paper bag. Décor adds a nice touch to the atmosphere.

We did pick up so I can't comment on the eat-in aspect. What we had was good except that we had ordered SHRIMP lo mein by number & word but got BEEF lo mein which was a big disappointment & none of us cared for it.

We really love the China King. This is the type of place where service is friendly, portions are really nice and the staff knows their customers. We have been frequenting China king for a few years now. I am sad to report that they have changed some recipes, and I am especially disappointed in the changes with their sesame chicken. It is super garlicky now and nothing like what it used to be. Sadly, this was the only place in town to get good sesame chicken, so now I have to go to Springfield or Ozark to get my fix. I will continue to enjoy other things at China King, but our relationship has definitely suffered due to this turn of events =(

The best Chinese food I've had in a very long time. The Beef and Broccoli was out of this world. The service was very good and the decor is very pleasant.

My wife and I stopped here while on a short trip to Bolivar for some shopping. Each had a meal with cheese rangoon and egg rolls. Meal was larger than expected and was great. Plenty for left overs. The price was excellent for what we received. Will be back!

China King is tucked back off the main drag "Springfield avenue" across from Mid Mo Bank. China King and Westlake share opposite ends of the strip mall. Clean!! Friendly with excellent service! Delicious food, hot, good size portions so many choices! Gives the feel of a fine dining big city Chinese restaurant in small town Bolivar.
