We used to come here a lot before the pandemic. I thought the food was great with sizable portions, large shrimp, and a good ratio of meat to vegetables. We did takeout a month ago or so and instantly noticed the change in the size of the … More

Honest I don’t really do reviews but save yourself time and money go to joy wok. I was at a store in the same mall so I tried it. Crab Rangoon tasted weird, noodles were rubbery disappointed. More

The lady behind the counter was quite rude. No hello, thank you, or goodbye. Talked on the phone the entire time I was there. The food was stale even just an hour after they opened. 2 stars because the food wasn't very good, but it was edible, I guess. There are far better and friendlier options in the immediate area. More

Good food. I don’t feel gross after eating. Recently when we ordered take out we did not receive the egg roll or crab Rangoon that came with the entree. Fried rice was tiny, literally white rice with soy sauce. Disappointed. More

Aikou Chinese Restaurant in Lee’s Summit is a hidden gem! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and served hot. The orange chicken is crispy and perfectly sweet, and the fried rice is some of the best around. Friendly service and generous portions—definitely a go-to spot for great Chinese food! More

Here is the picture of a man asleep with his shoes off inside their restaurant. Look closely - seems like he works there. Who wants to eat here? Gross! No shame, no pride. We had already paid for our food online. I am throwing it in the trash.

The food is very overpriced. I was looking at the China King menu and picked out a egg and wonton soup +4 crab Rangoon, I think and it would’ve been almost the same price as 6 pieces of crab Rangoon here… More
