Chowking in National City

Staffs are respectful but the wanton and lauriat needs improvement . Lauriat taste old and the noodles was hard, portion was pretty small too.Siomai is good, location is convenient and free parking available on site. Store is clean and no long lines. Price is reasonable.Edit: changing my 3 star to 1 star. Definitely the worst chowking I’ve ever been. Instead of improving they’re getting worst.Ordered online order and I have missing orders two times in a row. How inconvenient. You’d need to check your order 100x before leaving to make sure they’ve got everything but of course not everyone have that luxury of time especially if you’re in a hurry. Curbside pick-up barely works, same as online pick-up they’re most likely to just preparing your order once you’re at the store.It’s not really worth it coming here anymore they don’t even know how to cook CHOWKING FOOD . Probably only come here for their Frozen siomai and siopao and that is. This branch needs better management .

First time eating here and I was excited.I didnt like their food at all.The coconut shrimp was fine, but everything else sucks.The lady at the front desk was very nice though. She treated everyone with a jolly attitude and a smile which is nice.They need to improve their food.

This is my first time tried Chowking, I didn’t know they have a location in Mira Mesa too. I was attracted by their Bao buns in the steamer, it looks so yummy. And yes, it was yummy, I kinda love it but their dough was a little too thick and the meatball is small comparing to the dough. Otherwise it is a yummy Bao bun.

Food is tasty. Thats where the one star came from. Don’t go here if you dont have a patience in waiting, we waited 30 mins my order was sitting there getting cold, while the couple of people ahead of us get theirs first. Including two people ordering to go. I have tot talk to Aliyah that maybe i should get my soup before it gets cold! The second order came exactly thirty minutes we end up taking our food to go, small portions for the price! Service is terrible! We went there and its not busy, so i don’t know how is it when it’s busy. I will never come back. This will be the first and last.Addendum:I usually don’t post negative reviews but this has to be done. They have to atleast inform customers of the waiting time just in case they’re running behind.

I dont know why so many people are giving this place a bad review, its not bad at all. I had both the food and the halo halo. Not 5 star but definitely better than most fast food. Also pretty cheap and the workers are nice! Not my regular place but ill go back!

Disappointing. Small portions and they don’t even have my chow fan! They have taho and black jelly though. The one in Mira Mesa is better since they have more options.

Im so disappointed we spend almost $60 for our food, the lauriat so different from the picture, beef wonton 3 small pcs. of meat salty soup, halohalo small cup for $8 the ingredients are so hard. The siomai is salty. Its not the way its used to be.Never again.....Im not recommending for the those who want to try.

Great food great CS to get food for the trip home!

Was hesitant to go here given the reviews but my wife wanted to try it. Must say, I was pleasantly surprised. Staff were polite and service was fairly quick despite how busy they were. Got the fried chicken and pancit so I can’t vouch for their other items but these were great. Pancit was better than expected and fried chicken was crunchy and juicy. Would I visit all the time? Probably not, I can get an 8 piece of chicken at Von’s when it’s on sale for way cheaper. However, I can see myself making the effort to return to try some of the other items out of curiosity. Overall, glad I tried it and it was much better than I anticipated.

I was satisfied with what I ordered. I usually go to Chowking for their siopao and siomai and Im glad that I dont have to drive 30 minutes just to go to the nearest Chowking. Ill definitely go back.
