Rice King, Sanford

I tried this new (a month or so) low end Chinese restaurant for lunch yesterday. It is near the Walmart on Rinehart Rd. It was a cheap pizza place before this. It is your typical take out menu. They have a $8 lunch buffet. Two low level entree selections and some fried junk. I had a lunch special to go for $7 in all. I chose Szechuan Chicken, fried rice and wonton soup. The chicken was yet another recipe. This one was pounded strips of chicken in a sweet and garlicky sauce. How many types of Szechuan chicken can there be? I had one plastic-y piece of chicken. The rest were ok. The veg were mainly onion slivers. If I wanted vegetables, I'd probably feel cheated. The fried rice was bland. They filled those "side' cups in the to go box with them. Not a lot. The wontons were over boiled (soft), but, they included three. The place is clean. They make some attempt to acknowledge their heritage in the decor. It's just another in a long line of take out Chinese joints. Who are pricing themselves out of the market if you ask me. I often wonder if it wouldn't be better for them all to join in a super chain. The menu and pricing is already uniform. Maybe then we could get some uniformity on execution? Swipe left. They are the King of All Media-crity.
