Our Story

Some twenty five years ago, my husband Joe and I opened our own restaurant in Cupertino. That restaurant grew into one of the South Bay’s beloved local hangouts, known for its appetizing Chinese food and reliable delivery service. In 2007, I moved into a bigger kitchen buying The King Chuan in downtown San Carlos. It’s been my pleasure to offer my personal touch to bring a high quality, casual dining and delivery experience to the people who live here.

Through years of cooking, I’ve found that the best way to remain authentic is to prepare traditional, delicious dishes using modern, healthy cooking techniques. At The King Chuan, we only use fresh ingredients, and never ‘precook and reheat.’ Whenever possible we steam our ingredients first and then lightly sauté them in unsaturated vegetable oil, for the best results. We also use only U.S. grown meats and choice cuts like flank steak and chicken breasts. And we never use MSG.

We invite you to come give us a try. You’ll find good food with reasonable prices and courteous service, whether you visit us at the restaurant or call for delivery. Many people appreciate that our delivery vehicles are company-owned and driven by our permanent employees. That’s important to us too.

For your convenience we are open all day from 11 AM to midnight with delivery service until 10 PM. I’m always here, and I’m always happy to see you. And remember, many of the chef’s specials only I cook. It’s my passion to please you.
