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!

So I loved this place food is good. But I ordered the spare ribs. Lot of straight fatty bites. I also ordered vegetable Mei fun and the onion they cut up and used had black mold on it. Yuck.

I never leave reviews, but I couldn't help it this time. Took my family out to dinner and it was the worst chinese food I've ever had. mushy chicken, the curry tasted like it was bad, everything on paper plates and you have to eat with plastic forks. The crab ragoons were good... but that's all I can recommend.

I ordered the food online. It was pretty simple and easy to navigate. The one surprising thing about this method was that after you put in the order (and the tip), you’ll discover that they charge a $1.50 “Convenience fee”. As of this writing, they are taking Covid seriously. They are only doing take-out, or delivery, even though they could do indoor dining. In fact, when picking up the take-out order, you will not even enter the establishment. There is a big Plexiglas barrier in the doorway that separates you from the workers inside. You communicate with an intercom system, and get your order from a drop box. This is a family run business, which means everyone in the family works here. Such an arrangement is not that unusual among Chinese restaurants. It was a little unsettling though to have a boy taking orders and dispensing food. The food was good, but it was surprising how much food they stuffed in those plastic bowls. I could not finish my meal in one sitting because they stuffed it with so much food. The egg rolls are HUGE! In all, a good place to try when you are looking for some local Chinese food. ♿ Accessibility Features: Ramp access = Yes Wheelchair-accessible Entrance = Yes Wheelchair-accessible Seating = No Wheelchair-accessible Parking = Yes

Amazing local Chinese restaurant! Best around town and the family that owns it is so sweet! Great prices for how great the food is, it's always hot and fresh, great flavor! The sesame chicken is to die for and the sizzling rice soup is a must! They have an awesome lunch special too! Anyone leaving bad reviews here don't know anything about good eats. Me and my family have been going to this restaurant regularly for about 14 years!
