We planned on leaving early that day, but it was already past noon when we finally left Jacksonville, Florida, enroute back to our home State of California.
Since we skipped morning breakfast, after driving along I-10 barely 60 miles only, we were feeling so hungry already and promptly exited on Highway-441 towards Lake City.
Being so famished, we weren't exactly in a position to be picky, so just about a few miles down the road, we saw the sign for Fu King Chinese Restaurant, which somehow looked palatable enough for me and company.
Well, I've been to too many Chinese Restaurants before, yet truly I got to say with utmost confidence that they didn't just served another Chinese food, but distinctively it was really Fu King good.
The alternative would have been driving another 100-miles toward Tallahassee, however, truly there was absolutely no regrets for this unscheduled stop-over in Lake City.
If ever you'll be driving along I-10 westward from Jacksonville and feeling hungry, then I highly recommend a stop-over in Lake City for a meal-break at Fu King Restaurant and get what you want. -

While attending a retreat in Lake City this past weekend and weighing my options between one bad chain, another bad chain, McDonalds, IHOP, a lousy catered dinner and gnawing my own shoe, I came across the very positive review for Fu King. I heart Chinese food, and a silly name only earns you bonus points with me. Yahoo! reviews has a mediocre review and a fairly negative review. I read both, took them with a grain of salt, and went a-roaming.
We arrived hungry and a bit worried. The place looks like a greasy spoon, and although the hostess and solitary server were very kind, it still took well over ten minutes to get anything other than drinks. The menu is about the same as any other Chinese restaurant, so we quickly decided on honey garlic chicken and West Lake Duck, which is greasy, heavily-breaded pieces of overcooked meat placed atop a plate full of vegetables drowned with brown sauce. It was as unappetizing as it sounds. We did enjoy the chicken dish, which (surprise!) actually seemed to have both garlic and lemon zest in the sauce, a step up from the average takeout in Gainesville. Even so, I wouldn't return. There's no reason to waste time on stuff like this, even if it IS locally owned and operated. 1.75 stars.Listed in: AVOID.

We love Fu King! -- Our family loves this little local restaurant, the food is really good and the staff is friendly. The prices are really good and portions are generous. It was the first place my kids would want to go when they returned home from school, and even the 1st restaurant our son-in-law wanted to go when he returned from Iraq!

I love Fu King. Their subgum lo mein is really good. Everything is flavored nicely and they have good portions + low prices. Dinner plates are like 7 bux including rice, entree, and eggrolls. The eggrolls are really flavorful and should only be eaten fresh.
