The pad Thai wasn't bad either, I felt as if the seasoning was a bit tangy to my liking but overall I'm not disappointed with my experience

Ordered so much food, that they packaged everything super nicely in one big box so that I can easily carry it! Ordered three soups: Wonton, egg drop, and hot&sour! Appetizers: Crab Rangoons and chicken on a stick. (Pretty sure they threw in some egg rolls because I didn't order them but they were by far the best ones I've had) As for the mains: Orange Chicken, General Tso's, Mongolian Beef, Lo Mein, BBQ pork fried rice, and combo fried rice. The Mango Smoothie was delicious too! Not sure why anyone is complaining about the sauces, because they gave me plenty and more! Portions are great, prices are great, on top of the taste of all the food being great! Thank you!

I order the Hong Kong Steak. The meat is tender, and the sauce had a nice, balanced flavor, not too sweet, with a hint of savory. The sesame seeds added a bit of texture. The size was just right, and everything was well-cooked. Overall, a good choice if you're looking for something flavorful.

Quick, kind, and very reasonably priced. However, beef was not cooked well enough. Initially, she was going to charge extra for chili oil ($.50) but after I mentioned putting all my change in the tip jar, she did give it to me for free. May return but will be selective with ordering.

Ordered the Mongolian beef and house special pad Thai. I enjoyed the Mongolian beef, it was tender and very flavorful! The pad Thai wasn't bad either, I felt as if the seasoning was a bit tangy to my liking but overall I'm not disappointed with my experience. I'm in town for a few days for work so figured Id try China Kitchen since it's close to the hotel. I'd definitely recommend the Mongolian beef if your looking for that taste! That's something I would definitely order again!

Fried chicken tasted freezer burned and not fresh. Fried salt and pepper shrimp still had the skin and the legs on... I'm assuming it's the norm here. The garlic shrimp and broccoli tasted a bit sour and there were maybe only 5 small pieces of shrimp... other locations they would give jumbo shrimps for that quantity. The ho fun was ok, a bit bland and a bit off in taste too. I also got the Szechuan fried (it doesn't need to be fried, probably better if it wasn't) spicy fish and the fish tasted like it was frozen too, but after I recooked it, put fresh ginger and sesame oil it tasted much better. I also got the pork steamed dumplings and it seems there was cabbage in there as an added filler or for taste... I was not fond of the cabbage, but otherwise the dumpling was probably the best. I spent over $70 and they still charged for the hot chili oil -mind you, I didn't get any plum sauce or sauce whatsoever for my dumplings.

I ordered Mongolian beef and was shocked when I brought it home and opened it. one onion inside. I threw half of the onion in the trash and it smelled really bad of Star Anise

Pad Thai was pink, why? And the dumplings were empanadas, their dough was so thick. So disappointed 😔

Great meal, glad I stopped by after my errand by the airport. The two vegetable delight dish had mushrooms, snow peas, baby corn, carrots, and a little cabbage, healthy just what I needed.
