The outside of the building looks a little sketchy and the inside looks pieced together. There was a bit of a mess when we arrived. It was just after opening and there were already dirty tables. There is a lot of clutter behind the register, half boxes and stuff scattered everywhere.Ordered eggrolls and crab Rangoon for an appetizer. The crab Rangoon was delicious. It did not have any kind of fake crab it, but it was fresh and had onions and cream cheese. The eggrolls tasted like your typical frozen bag ones you get from the Chinese market but we’re still hot and crispy.Our entrées were spicy beef ramen and yakisoba. Both were exceptional. The Ramen had very tender beef. The yakisoba had big prawns and an assortment of other meat that was all seasoned well. The noodles in both dishes were the right density. We enjoyed our meal and would absolutely return to this restaurant.We also ordered a honeydew Boba. It wasn’t frozen consistency that they usually come but it was still tasty.Our total is $46.

This is maybe the best Asian restaurant in Salem. Their portions are great, and the owners are extremely personable. The food is delicious, and never leaves you feeling heavy. My wife and I go here all the time and grab their daily specials, but there are many other great things in the menu! I highly recommend this little know spot in Salem. Give it a shot; you won’t be disappointed.

Our first time trying Tong King Garden and it was an amazing experience! This place is a GEM. We ordered BBQ pork, rangoons, fried rice and the beef belly bento. Everything was so delicious and fresh. The service was excellent, really kind and attentive. A new favorite.We can’t wait to come back!

Tong King is amazing. Went there to place a takeout order for lunch. The new owners of the restaurant are so kind and welcoming. They recently celebrated their first year. I'm so glad I stopped by - the Tonkotsu Ramen, fried dumplings, and milk tea I ordered were delicious. Looking forward to having more meals there in the future. Daily deal - on each day, they have a lunch entree that is $10.00 - very affordable with good portions. I felt so lucky that the Tonkotsu Ramen happened to be featured today, and it was $10.00. Will add a few photos!

This may not be the fanciest restaurant but it is so good. It’s consistently delicious. Food comes out quickly and it’s hot and fresh. The employees (owners?) are so incredibly kind.

This place is my husband and I's favorite restaurant in Salem. Lan and Tom are amazing and so sweet. From our first time here they made us feel like family and it's been the same everytime after. Not only are they such sweet people, they make AMAZING food and it's very reasonably priced. I absolutely love going here!Any reviews from a year ago and on are from previous owners. The current owners are incredible!!

Went on a Wednesday night and we were the only ones in the restaurant, but there were more people coming and going from the area in the back - gambling/ poker machines? Food was tasty and plentiful.

This place is amazing. All bad reviews were from the old management. The staff are all very friendly and the food is absolutely wonderful now. I ordered Ramen the other day and they suggested to add kimchi to it and it was amazing. Definitely going back soon.
