I'm a fan of this Egg Roll King.
Why? Well, for one, they are busy. Though being a busy business does not a good restaurant make. But, it is a start. They have good food served hot and indoor seating.
My wife and I decided to go and walked in around 6:00 PM during a weekday.
The staff was friendly and I was able to put my order in. My wife gave them her order in Mandarin, which is currently outside of my abilities.
I ordered the Combo plate with Beef with Szechaun sauce and Kung Pao Chicken. Both have a chili mark, but to my taste buds, they are mild, not spicy at all. But, you should try it. Some people I know yell scream and holler when they have normal yellow mustard!
The food comes out within a few minutes. It's normally a good temp. If you're fortunate enough to have them make it right then and there, it comes out blazing hot! I'm not kidding. The kind of hot which can burn the roof of your mouth just like a pizza out of the oven!
I enjoy their soup. Specifically, the hot & sour soup. Yes, it's thick, hot and sour. Makes my mouth water, just thinking of it.
The food came out in a Styrofoam take home dish. You know the type with three chambers. Well, this one came out completely filled!
The Kung Pao Chicken came out hot and tasty. This is one of those dishes that forces me to eat healthy.
I know, you're thinking that it's filled with vegetables. You're correct. It's filled with a mess load of celery. I really don't care for celery much unless it's in my chicken soup, Bloody Mary or Kung Pao Chicken.
My second dish of the combo I ordered was Beef with Szechaun sauce. Very good. It came out steaming hot!
The sauces on both dishes were good. Meaning that they were not swimming in sauce but a decent amount of sauce. Not overly sweet nor salty.
There is a lot of rice that is served as well. You do have your choice of fried rice or steamed white rice.
Quantity? Abbondanza!
I definitely could not finish all of the food. I was stuffed like a Thanksgiving turkey!

Bottom Line
Yes, I have and will come back here again.
It's close to my abode and it's good.
TIPS: They do have limited seating inside. Environmental decor is clean.
But, keep in mind this restaurant was meant for take-out and it's a store front.
Plenty of parking too!
You can walk in and place your order, or phone in a take-out order.
NOTE: They do have tables and chairs but there is no table service! -

I think I've only ever had Egg Roll King one other time since I've lived here. The food is okay, the pricing is amazing though. This is the only Chinese place out by my house or rather the closest to my house. If we're too lazy to drive anywhere to get decent Chinese food, I guess we'd go here again. I also got the Wonton Noodle soup and it was just okay. The broth really didn't have any flavor but the wontons were good! All in all I'd say if you're in the area or just want a Chinese food fix with low expectations I'd say go here for sure.

If you enjoy the rudest service in town, sub-par Chinese food, then this is for you! The old man behind the counter is a major asshole. The lady (wife) isn't much better. I asked the rude jerk to read my order back. He started yelling at me, saying he doesn't make mistakes! Can you imagine this? Then the old, sour looking lady started chiming in and getting nasty mean. I canceled the order, said FU and left. NEVER AGAIN!!

Nice to have an Egg Roll King in the area - before they opened here, I'd have to travel by Reno High School or Oddie Blvd to get some quick Chinese food. Service is as you'd expect in a Chinese fast food restaurant, not the friendliest but they get the job done. Food is fine, no complaints.

Wow! The worst Chinese food I have had. The food was super bland no taste at all. The guy behind the counter was short and not friendly at all. So disappointed.
