Customer Reviews
The first dish I’ve uploaded is lamb. I forgot the name but it was the tastiest lamb I’ve had. Love the ambiance and foood. Will definitely go back🫶
A handful of years ago, in college, I was sick and wanted a delicious, light, acidic soup. I ordered the fish fillet with chili and preserved vegetables not knowing that I would come back for this bowl of soup for many years onwards. In the dead cold of winter, and once my nose starts running, I crave the comfort of this soup. I have nothing to compare to regarding its quality or authenticity, but I just know it’s consistently good. This, and the dry chili chicken and the dry chili tofu, I highly recommend. Small businesses like ML Kitchen are gems in a neighborhood.
it was my first time here and saw that orange chicken is very popular here and thought I’d try it. Once I got the food I was met with huge disappointment, the only good thing was the egg fried rice I got with it but the sauce is this weird sweet salty taste and it feels like im eating chicken nuggets. I didn’t want to finish it. Overall, it was alright.
I got the daily special with orange chicken, a crab rangoon and egg fried rice. The prices are great and the food is amazing. The parking lot is very small but it wasn't crowded when we went.
ML Kitchen has become my go-to spot for Chinese food on Taylor Street. Fantastic food, always satisfying portions, and a student discount that makes it all the sweeter. Their baked curry chicken with coconut sauce is a must-try - seriously amazing!
