What People's Say About Place

Was very surprised at how good the food was at King Chef. I'm pretty sure everything is made to order, and not just sitting in a pan in the back. My food tasted very fresh, very good, very hot, and plenty of it. General Tso combo with soup is really good. If you love standard Chinese food, be prepared to be very happy with King Chef because it was much better!

Love this place so much! It's the best asian fast food out there. We make a special trip from Watertown to Smyrna just for them.

I have loved this place for about 17 or so years now. This is my favorite Chinese take out in middle tn. I highly recommend the s.11. Chicken and broccoli are great too. Super nice family run place. I passed at least 5 other Chinese places to get this.

Best Chinese food in Rutherford County and very friendly, I can not over state how good there food is evey time.

I ordered chicken mei fun and spring rolls. The noodles were great (added soy sauce), and the spring rolls were just ok. Would have been better with duck sauce or something, but none was in the bag (no soy sauce either). I should have realized there were probably packets somewhere, but just assumed it would be in the bag. If you eat here and need sauce, check your bag before you leave.

Been coming here for years. It’s always the same great food and great service. I’ve never had a bad meal here.

Food is made to order. Quick service but the dining area is like what the----' omg! The ceiling fan has years of dust caked up idk if I should get the food or not but the food was great. I'm wondering what scores they received overall cleanliness is a zero

The food is always good. The bourbon chicken is my go to
