Kitty's Kitchen - Manteca

Changed ownership...... here's some recent feedback I don't know what happened, the ownership of Kitty's kitchen just changed. Before when it first opened, it was run by Taishan people who spoke Cantonese. They made authentic food and were super friendly and kind. My favorite dish used to be the fried chicken wings and their sweet sour Thai noodles.... Upon ordering today, we realized the ownership changed after we realized they didn't speak Cantonese and didn't know which dishes we were talking about. We still ordered in hopes the recipes and food would be the same but much to our disappointment, the food is completely different : Sometimes change is good, but in this case.. I'd argue against it. The chicken was just ok in flavor and dry and the soup is bland. The rice was super oily as well..... To give perspective, the chicken is wings but the inside meat is like breast meat... We're super disappointed as this was our favorite place and was something we would always look forward to eating... we're going to end up tossing the old menu on our fridge : Hopefully they'll reach out to the old owners and ask for some of their recipes. Here's some pictures of things we ordered.

I was Rolling around Manteca and I saw Kitty's Kitchen !!!! Kitty's Kitchen is Located in a Strip Mall . They are a Family Owned Restaurant that has been in business over 13 years!!! So I rolled to Kitty's Kitchen !!! I parked in the Strip Mall parking lot!!! Then I strolled in to Kitty's and Grabbed a Table and a Menu!!! I perused the Menu and Ordered a Large Wonton Soup and a Combination Plate Consisting of. Chow Mein , Fried Rice , Mongolian Beef and Sweet and Sour Pork!!! My Combination Plate came out first!!! The Portions were Generous and Very Tasty!!! Out Next was my Wonton Soup!!! It was Tasty and Flavorful also.. Service is Friendly and Efficient!!! This is a Baller On A Budget Approved Establishment!!!! I'll be Back !!!!! I Keep My Pimp Hand Strong!!!!?

Was not expecting such a quality food experience! Kitty 's Kitchen is an unassuming little place with some of the BEST Chinese food I 've ever had. There were three of us and each had a small meal that came with either rice or chow mein. We are not big eaters, but I didn 't expect to get 3 meals each! Our leftovers were still amazing two days later, when we finally finished them. From now on, I will make a point to eat at Kitty 's whenever visiting family in Manteca.

It use to be the best Chinese food in town but the past 2 times we've went here their typical food taste and hot and sour soup have been off, not the same. Idk if a different chef or what.

On our visit, we ordered à la carte: the orange chicken, salt and pepper fish, garlic green beans, and house fried rice. Everything came out in a timely manner, and I appreciated the generous portion sizes. The orange chicken was lightly battered, allowing the flavor of the chicken to shine through. It was fried to perfection and coated in a tangy, sweet sauce that wasn't overly spicy, which my husband appreciated. The salt and pepper fish also had a light, non-greasy batter and was seasoned just right, not too salty to overwhelm the flavor. However, I can't say the same for the garlic green beans. While some were crisp and fresh, others were a bit mushy and tasted as if they were mixed with leftovers from the previous day, which was disappointing. The house fried rice was a great accompaniment; it was hearty and packed with mixed vegetables, shrimp, and BBQ pork. We shared these dishes among three people and still had leftovers to take home. The prices are reasonable, and the service is prompt, friendly, and pleasant. We've returned twice now and are slowly trying more dishes from their menu. Overall, this is definitely a must-try place, especially for their orange chicken, which is what drew us in originally.
