China Kitchen - Mobile

Absolutely love the food here...especially the honey wings with extra shrimp shrimp fried rice.

This has been my favorite Chinese takeout for over 17 years. I could be away for over a year, walk in, and they would automatically ask if I wanted whatever I had ordered previously by name. It was amazing. The food was great at even better prices. Very friendly people. I recommended it to everyone. That all changed today. I noticed I didn't recognize anyone when I went in. There was a teenager boy sitting on the other side of the counter with his head down. He ignored me. A young lady walked in from the side and said something to him. He finally took my order. My next clue that something was wrong was the price he gave me. He quoted me $12 when the price has always been $12.91 since the latest price increase. I asked him about it but he said it was correct. Since I didn't recognize anyone, I asked him if they were new owners, he said no. After watching this same order be prepared many times, something seemed off. I then noticed they were packing the order in a much different container. It has always been the aluminum containers with clear lids. A round one for the lunch specials and an oblong one for the combination specials at night. This was a much smaller white plastic container. When I questioned them about it, he kept insisting it was what they had always used and then he said it's what they used at both stores. Again I asked him if they were new owners and again he said no. I showed them pictures on the website of the correct container and he kept saying this was what both stores used. I was pretty sure the owners I knew only had 1 store. I then told them to just pack it up and I would know for the future. I had to tell them this several times because they kept standing there talking between themselves. Finally I said pack it up or refund me. The girl packed it and handed it to me. I asked the guy once again if they had just bought this store and he finally admitted they had. It seems they are now affiliated with the store in Tillman's Corner. Don't go in expecting the food to be the same. It isn't. The egg rolls are different. They appear to be chicken now and the cabbage and other vegetables inside were mushy instead of crisp. Of the 3 I ordered, 2 were cooked to order and one was already cooked. It was noticeably cooler than the other 2. The Moo Goo Gai Pan had a different taste. The fried rice was different and the rice itself was overcooked and a little mushy. The water chestnuts weren't crisp. The chicken itself seemed to have a slight tang to it as if it wasn't fresh when cooked. I won't ever visit this store again. I will not recommend this store and will let anyone I speak to and have recommended in the past know it's not the same. IF you have been there before, be aware it's not the same. IF you are reading reviews, be aware you should ignore all but the most recent. I'm not sure when it changed hands but you can use this date as a guideline.

I've been ordering food from China Kitchen for 10+ years now and not once ever had a bad experience. I love the workers as they are always smiling and very polite.

I usually find that the hole in the wall type restaurants are the best and this place is no exception. The food is great, served quickly and comes at an excellent price. Only $8.95 gets you a combo with an entree, pork fried rice, an egg roll and a fortune cookie. For me, it's enough food to split into two meals. I've been here many times and will keep coming back regularly.Ditch the chain restaurants and SUPPORT LOCAL.

Been very long time sents I have come back to my favorite Chinese restaurant
