“So, I've been low-key addicted to ML Kitchen through Grubhub, making it my not-so-secret guilty pleasure. I feel like I'm the lone warrior on the Grubhub app... I'm not a massive Chinese food fan, but when a hangover hits, it's like, "Okay, Chinese food, you're up." And guess who always saves the day? Yep, ML Kitchen. This time, I didn't have the classic hangover excuse; I just had a serious hankering for their Chicken Lo Mein. So, I DoorDashed it - extra chicken, of course - and threw in a veggie roll for good measure. ML Kitchen's delivery game is always on point. The food arrives hot and ready to roll, even if I'm not nursing a hangover. The Chicken Lo Mein, though, oh boy, it still hit all the right spots. The chicken was tender AF, and that veggie roll? A crunchy, fresh delight. ML Kitchen is officially my go-to Chinese spot, especially when I'm not feeling my best. What seals the deal every time is that when the goods show up at my door, they're piping hot and fresh as can be. In a nutshell, whether you're craving a hangover fix or just some seriously good Chinese comfort food, ML Kitchen is the real MVP. The Chicken Lo Mein, with its juicy chicken and flavor explosion, is my jam. No doubt, ML Kitchen has earned its spot as my trusty sidekick for satisfying those Chinese food cravings.”
“ML Kitchen has become my go-to spot for Chinese food on Taylor Street. Fantastic food, always satisfying portions, and a student discount that makes it all the sweeter. Their baked curry chicken with coconut sauce is a must-try - seriously amazing!”
“Fav restaurant in town. Kung pao chicken and mango smoothie were so good”
“They are very quick when it comes to the service. The food is very good, but I am not sure how authentic it is. They have a huge variety, and I have tried fried rice and teriyaki. Both were delicious. The atmosphere in this place is very relaxing and rather quiet with nice songs.”
“Ordered Orange tofu Mangolian tofu Soy sauce chowmin Vegetable fried rice Orange tofu tasted sweet, tangy, and savory, This cr Mongolian tofu is the vegan answer to the famous Chinese Mongolian beef. Crispy cubes of pan fried tofu are tossed in a sweet, salty spicy Mongolian sauce Tasted Absolutely SUPERB Soy sauce is at the heart and soul of many of favorite Chinese food dishes. ML kitchen made perfect use of same making it more tasteier Veg fried rice Was again upto the mark Since I come from India and make it a point to eat it here or pick-up”
“I read these reviews, I live in the area and thought reviews say good food overall. Maybe people don't get out much? As a foodie I'm really disappointed, definitely a 3 star. Undercooked, and not as flavor able. I ordered a variety of food, to include shrimp fried rice, soup dumplings, pot stickers.. For convenience because China town is a drive, this is fine. The service is prompt, the guy at the register was polite, reasonably priced. I probably will take the 15 min drive to China town, I probably won't return. Street parking, clean place.”
“it was my first time here and saw that orange chicken is very popular here and thought I’d try it. Once I got the food I was met with huge disappointment, the only good thing was the egg fried rice I got with it but the sauce is this weird sweet salty taste and it feels like im eating chicken nuggets. I didn’t want to finish it. Overall, it was alright.”
