One reviewer said: "I've tried quite a few Chinese takeaways in the 40 years plus that I've lived in the Farnborough area but this is the first time I've tried Kings, in Kings Road Aldershot, and by comparison with others I'd rate Kings the highest. The overall quality of the food was exceptional and easily on a par with far pricier eat-in restaurants in central London."
