China Kitchen

I was not impressed with this Chinese restaurant. The food was ok, but nothing crazy good. I recently moved to Byron Center from Grand Rapids and thought I’d try this place since it is right down the road. First, the person on the phone was dismissive and a little rude. I was put off by it, but gave them the benefit of the doubt because sometimes, when things get busy, I understand the frustration and lack of focus on tone-of-voice. I ordered chicken pad thai with mild spice, and a pint of hot and sour soup. I arrived to pick up my order, which was very quick and efficient. A little boy performed the transaction without any problems. When I got home to eat, the “pad thai” that I ordered was more of a drunken noodle with chicken and random vegetables, definitely not pad thai and did not taste like it at all. Granted, this is a Chinese restaurant and not a Thai restaurant, so I expected as much. Just thought I’d try it. The food was good, I especially liked the hot and sour soup. It had more of a vinegary taste than other restaurants, which I love. But, for over almost $20 I would expect a little better. I will be trying other actual Chinese dishes here in the future, but this first experience was a little dull. It’s good if you’re hungry!

We ordered the Chicken Lo Mein and Beef Chow Mein with a side of Crab Ragoon. It was all for delivery. It came 30 minutes early and it all tasted Fabulous. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

We love this place!! Our go to for Chinese everytime! We have been ordering from here for years, pre Covid, during and after. Always GREAT food, and you get so much for the price, always a couple of meals! Alot of reviews on here about kids answering the phone, bad service etc. We have never had a problem with our order being wrong, not getting something in our order or stale food. Which is amazing! We are down to only a couple of places we will order from, and China Kitchen is it for Chinese food. Note we always order directly from the restaurant, never thru a delivery service. Highly recommend to anyone wanting the best Chinese food in the area!

This place used to be so good. We got our take out and was very disappointed in it. We were charged a $1.50 convivence fee, I don't see how ordering online isn't more convenient for them than me. We ordered 3 different chicken meals, they all came with the same sauce and didn't taste different from each other at. In what world does sesame chicken, sweet and sour chicken, and general tao's look the same/taste the same? The sesame chicken used to come in a brown sauce and the rice used to be brown in color and fried with veggies and extras. Now the rice barley fried with some onions and carrots, that is it. I make better myself at home.
