Reviews for China Kitchen in Bristol, CT
First time ordering from China Kitchen after seeing reasonable prices on DoorDash. It's hard to find Chinese takeout places... that still offer an egg roll with a meal for under $10 so I decided to give it a try. I was surprised to find bamboo shootswith the vegetables which is kind of rare. The order was made and delivered on time. Read more
To be honest my food did not taste fresh. It tasted as if it was reheated from being cooked the other day. I'm very... disappointed, considering I just spent almost $70. I ordered 2 combo orders of shrimp lo mein with boneless BBQ ribs and beefteriyaki. Sadly I won't be ordering from here again. I literally contemplated leaving this review because the staff were verynice and friendly on phone and delivery person, but, I just can't justifying wasting $70 of my hard earned money. Especially nowin days money is tight for everyone, and when you try to support a local business but the quality just isn't there. Read more
Picked up the sesame chicken for lunch today and it was satisfying. I've been looking for a replacement since Wah Lung bought... New Nice, as I'm not fond of Wah Lung's style. Suffice to say, China Kitchen will become my regular restaurant for chinese food Read more
Update 09/2021: I stopped ordering from this place for a while, especially after the nasty reviews as of late. But I didn’t... feel like cooking one day so decided to order. The food didn’t taste too bad. It came pretty quickly and was still hot when Igot it. The next day, I started to notice that every time I ate it, I got sick. I asked my friend who ordered with me if she washaving the same issue, and she was. So I know it wasn’t just me. I don’t know what’s going on with this place, but it hasgone downhill. I hope they’ll change their ways soon, but I won’t be ordering again for a while. Original review: I havebeen going to this place for Chinese food for over 15 years now. I have never had an issue with long waits for delivery or pickup. Their food is awesome. However, they did change their recipe for the fried rices within the last few years and it justtastes like oil and I'm not a fan of those anymore unless they go back to their original recipe. This is why I gave them only4/5 stars. Also, make sure you tell them how spicy you want dishes like General Tso's, otherwise it's more sweet than spicy. Idon't know why everyone is complaining about times. I just ordered from them for lunch and it only took 30 minutes even though Iwas told 45 minutes. The lady on the phone was very nice and answered my questions. The General Tso's was delicious as usual,but if you want spice make sure to tell them at least medium spiciness, but was a little dry not a lot of sauce. The chickenfried rice did not have the oily flavor to the rice thankfully. Beef and broccoli was delectable, but a few hard spots in thebeef. Egg roll was a little oily, but you have to wrap it in a paper towel before eating it to get a little of the oil out, butthe flavors of the cabbage and pork was still there. Steamed veggies was also delicious and very filling with the rice andsauce. Chicken finger were so delicious and hot (the best way to eat them). Read more
First we noticed after ordering, that every florescent light fixtures had many dead bugs in it, I mean Many... Cob weds in... ceiling corners. Window seal was dusty. Front waiting area had boxes and boxes of overstock styrofoam cups and plates sitting onCoca-Cola grates, these boxes I'm sure are a nesting area for roaches. Appearance is Everything... We also noticed that thelady behind counter didn't wear gloves. We watched a couple of times where she grabbed frozen egg rolls and tossed them into thefryer, after handling money. Finally after 20 minutes $31.64 later, our food was ready. We still figured maybe we should stillgive it a chance. We took the food home. We found that they don't even give you any Fortune Cookies. The Boneless Spare Ribswere reheated instead of being fresh. I first will contact the Bristrol Health Department to inspect this place. Then I willgive it another try in about 2 months. Read more
Pretty good spot AND open on Monday! Was in a pinch and my normal place wasn’t open so we called here. Was great and they... delivered outside of Bristol as well which was great. No complaints about the food, if ya love take out Chinese food you’lllove this spot. They package the food nicely and neatly. Not a lot of oily/greasiness. Good experience for me! ?? Read more
Definitely 5 stars if you like Chinese food. We don’t order Chinese often but when we do, we pick this restaurant even though... it’s not the closest to our home. The portions are big and they don’t hold back on the meat so if you order fried rice, youwill find nice chunks of meat or shrimp, depending on what you ordered. They make the best and most fulfilling Happy Family.Boneless spare ribs and their Lo Mein meals are also delicious. Best Chinese place in the area! Read more
