This review is mostly for the Dry Pot dishes they added few months ago. If you're reading reviews made before this year, keep in mind that the menu has changed drastically under new management, and for the better actually! The Dry Pot dishes are traditional spicy Sichuan Dishes stir fried on high heat with chili bean paste, chili peppers, peppercorns, and other spices served over an open flame too. Beware the intense heat, it will make you sweat and clear your sinuses, but that's all part of the experience! It's definitely worth stopping by to try out an authentic Sichuan experience. As for dishes other than the Dry Pot dishes, I also had their stir fried lamb with scallions. It's a pretty simple dish, but getting the lamb very tender with a stir fry is quite challenging and the chefs actually nailed it! Lamb with scallions is another nostalgic dish I miss and I'm glad I got something that is close to what I remember from other Chinese restaurants that also serve the dish. Overall, the new menu does not feature as great of a variety as other Chinese restaurants next to the UC campus, but some of the menu items that were added are unique options that may not be found at other Chinese restaurants in Cincinnati, and honestly as a Chinese person, I would never complain about having some more variety of Chinese dishes to eat at in Cincinnati, especially when it's close to UC.

Love this place! Great food and good service. I used to frequent this restaurant when I was a student at the University of Cincinnati. Give this place a try and you won't be disappointed.

My husband and I just moved to Cincinnati from NYC and were looking for an authentic Chinese Szechuan restaurant. We stumbled upon King Wok after a trip to Target and could not be more delighted to find a gem we will now frequent. King Wok offers both traditional Chinese American take-out menus as well as authentic Szechuan dishes!! We got the beef sour soup which satisfied every cravings - we'll be back for their 'Shui zhu yu' (fish cooked in chili pepper soup)

I had the worst Pad Thai ever. There were no sprouts, green onions, sauce or seasoning, only oil & cracked red pepper as the sauce. Also, there was not even a lemon to squeeze over for SOME flavor. When she brought the bill I told her so, but she still charged me even though I only ate half. She left to run my card for payment & while doing so she left someone else's dirty plate on my table.

Really good simple authentic Chinese food. My dish was really tasty (Eggplant with Ground Pork) and it was a big portion so I got to eat it for lunch the next day. It was delicious. The place doesn't have huge curb appeal or trendiness factor but the food is good!
