Chowking

Chowking originally opened its doors in the Philippines in 1985, and it didn't take long for the company to become highly successful. Chowking launched its first outlet in the United States a decade later. Despite the fact that this brand is based in the Philippines, its menu is heavily influenced by Chinese food.

Chowking is actually rather tasty when it's at its best. Their Chinese-Style Fried Chicken Lauriat, for example, is occasionally amazing. At first impression, it appears to be KFC-style fried chicken. However, upon closer examination with both your eyes and your palate, you'll see that this fried chicken has the unmistakable Chinese deliciousness you've come to expect.

Unfortunately, the quality of the food served at Chowking is quite variable. Sometimes your cuisine is so wonderful that you vow yourself that you'll include it in your usual rotation of eateries. Other times, though, the meal is so bad that you'll be resentful that you wasted money at Chowking. Most of the time, you'll be dissatisfied with the food's quality, so you'd be wise to choose another Chinese restaurant.
