Chinese Kitchen on Carrollton has been around for many decades, outlasting many other competitors, and it still gets good business. It's a very unassuming little spot in New Orleans, and dishes out good fried rice and wonton soup. This place does not look fancy at all, but portions are generous, food is fresh, and prices are reasonable. read more

This Chinese restaurant came highly recommended by three different people, and it absolutely lived up to the praise. Located in the heart of New Orleans, the restaurant makes a great first impression with attentive, welcoming service as soon as you walk in. My friend and I ordered two large dinner meals, and the wait time was impressively quick, only about 10 minutes. They even have a designated waiting area, which was a nice touch. The place has a nostalgic old-school '90s Chinese restaurant vibe that I really enjoyed. Most importantly, the food was incredibly fresh, flavorful, and delicious. If you're in New Orleans and craving great Chinese food, do yourself a favor and check out Chinese Kitchen! read more

The most consistent Chinese restaurant in New Orleans! You know what you are going to get, which is good food. It never disappoints. The egg rolls are top tier. I do miss not being able to dine inside but it doesn't deter me from visiting. Service is consistent, no bells or whistles. read more

I feel like Chinese Kitchen has the East Bank on lock and China Doll has the west bank on lock. Prior to 2020, it was years since I visited this restaurant. During Covid I came, waited in line and ordered my usual (sweet and sour chicken) but it just didn't do it for me. I decided to give them another try and it was better this time around but still not how it used to be. My only complaint is that the chicken lacked seasoned. Once you add the sweet and sour sauce, it taste great but if you're eating it without the sauce, it doesn't have any seasoning. Other then that, everything was good. The rice was delicious, loved the sweet and sour sauce, and the egg roll was good. FYI : cash only and there will be a line but the line moves quick. read more

I got 80$ worth of food only to get home and it be the wrong order, then when I called about it I was hung up on. Not to mention the food was all over the bag and it was gross. I never leave negative comments only positive but people need to know about this place. Whatever you do don't get it to go or uber eats! read more

Food is always hot and taste good. The service is quick. You can more than not eat in but I prefer take out.

So this is place is apart of my childhood memories. Whenever we could come to the city be it to visit family or for festivals or anything we always stopped here. I can remember my mom's order for us! Me and my brothers would split an 11A and she would order a large shrimp fried rice with $2 worth of extra shrimp and extra eggs. This was when prices was prices lol. For the sake of childhood memories I had to stop. The inside is still the same the only thing is that the front sitting area is just a waiting area for take out. But it's looks the exact same way the bamboo it's all there. Now there is no longer an 11 A it's just a 11 and of course the prices are not the same. The only issue I had was now you have to pay for fortune cookies they aren't included with your meal. It's 10 for a $1 but it's the principle. The wait for short I got three 11's and my total was $52 and some change. I got it to go and the food was still hot when I made it back to Baton Rouge and the taste was just as a remembered. It was more than enough food to feed three people over two days. read more

I used to grow up eating this fried rice as a lil kid, I love their combo fried rice with the homemade sweee sauce that comes in their lil sauce cups. This place things bring back so much memories, nowadays they have changed ownership but the food is still delicious, so I have heard. They only use darkmeat in their fried chicken and I recommend their fried rice with the special sauce that cost extra on the side read more

The food is good. I always get shrimp with lobster sauce. The cashier is friendly. The restrooms are clean.

The service and ambiance is like going through a drive-thru they take your order and you get a number on your ticket and wait for your order in another area. Not the best looking facility because it's a old restaurant. They are usually pretty quick but if you have to wait it's definitely worth the wait. My food is always fresh and seasoned well. read more

Chinese Kitchen - E. Sweet & Sour Chicken Lunch - Chinese Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Chinese Kitchen just does not miss. LOL. They've never disappointed me when it comes to their food. The sweet and sour chicken is ummatched!!! That's my go-to, and it has always been fresh, moist, thickly cut pieces of chicken. The sauce is light and not overly sweet. The fried rice is a 10/10. Their egg rolls are some of the best in the city. I've never experienced soggy or old-tasting contents. Beware: the parking is not the best. The inside is small, so imagine that during busy hours. I suggest trying to call in. Customer service has never really been issue for me. I'm neutral to that aspect. read more

Finally! After hearing that this was the spot for Chinese in Nola I finally stopped here to try it for myself. Yes, there was a line and yes it is worth the wait. Due to Covid they do not have dine in. They have this down to a science. Take your order and wait a few minutes and wa la fresh hot food in your hand. I got the boneless chicken combo with no vegetables. This is some seriously good fried chicken. Crispy and crispy! My hubs got the sweet and sour chicken which is the same chicken with the sauce on the side. It was so different with the vegetables inside of it but tasted good. He also never really eats egg rolls but ate this one and said it was the best one he has tasted so far. I will for sure stand in line again for this place and highly recommend you do too. read more

Don't know what's going on with the 'Quality' of food at Chinese Kitchen, but the past few years it has continued to fall flat & disappointing... It used to be the absolute best whether you dined in or to-go! Now, you find very few pcs of rubbery shrimp, NO eggs, NO vegetables like onions nor green onions, which leaves the Shrimp fried rice soooo tasteless, it's like eating shredded cardboard!! Worse, I've noticed for some time now, that their containers have little small shrimp added in rice at the 'top' of box, but the middle to bottom of box has NO Meat; dried no tasting rice 'only.' AND, Sadly, the price keeps going up and up but you're putting less ingredients in the rice. I started slacking off from going there the past few years but NOW I'M JUST SIMPLY DONE! 4/30/2025 bought 2-Lg Shrimp fried rice - $29.79, rounded up, that's $30. OMG both were outrageous: the Price and the boring, no tasting, Shrimp-less rice! No more support from me, a once avid & frequent fan! Bye-eeeeeee!!! read more

Food was fresh and delicious. Walked in and there was no wait. Didn't take long at all before I had my order. 15 minutes tops. read more

Classic can be hit or miss if your from out of town your in the right spot! Stay out then tourist eateries

Food is OK. Make sure you bring some kind of protection. This whole place needs to be remodeled. It is disgusting. Can't imagine how the kitchen looks. read more

Excellent Chinese American food. But don't expect friendly or cordial service. Also, you will always feel extremely rushed when placing your order, and the employees typically have a nasty attitude. Ambiance isn't great. Before they switched to takeout only, the ambiance was pretty decent, and especially nighttime dining back in the late 80's, but now it's rundown, both inside and outside. Customer service is nonexistent, and you are totally treated like a number. However, the food quality and taste are both superior to most Chinese restaurants. So I always tolerate the rudeness of the staff simply because the food is so good! Best egg rolls I've ever had, and I've never gotten anything that wasn't really, really good. Portion sizes are generous, so good value for the price. read more

For over 40 years, the Chinese kitchen has been stable in New Orleans, especially for my people from Gert town, Pigeon town, Xavier and Tulane University, the Parkway, and all the uptown people. The Chinese kitchen is a great value, with huge portions and outstanding taste. I do not make any comments about the service as I always have done takeout, and that takes as long as leaving church on an Easter Sunday with your grandma; it's an enjoyable experience, but you hate to wait that long. I've always stood in line in the days before COVID-19. Now, when I visit, I call ahead for my order, and I usually eat at the hotel or Airbnb, so I don't sit in the restaurant, although if you want to order faster, you probably can't sit in the restaurant. read more

If you are looking for gourmet Chinese food, THIS IS NOT THE PLACE FOR YOU! However, if you want the most tasty Chinese food give this place a try. Now I'll admit, it's not in the safest area and it's not the best looking place. There is always a line for to go orders. There is a small fine in area but it is hot. So you get in the line and order. They take cash and cards. If you pay with a card, they keep your card until the order is prepared. I'll admit that is a bit sketchy but I didn't have any crazy charges on my card. But they put the card with the order receipt aside from the front counter The wait is long BUT when you get the food, it is hot! The sweet and sour sauce is home made and it is soooooo good I put it on shrimp fried rice too. If you are in NOLA and have some time to spare pick up some food from here you WON'T be disappointed read more

Okay, I've got to be totally honest. My hubby is from New Orleans, and years ago he brought me here for the first time. My impressions then, remain my impressions now. This place looks horrible. The entire business is the size of a shoe box. The staff is rude, and inatte Everyone who works her appears to feel that they are doing you a favor, by taking your money. It's insane. But, they have some of the best fried rice you'll ever find. And they are usually very busy. I'd recommend the combination rice, and that you do take out! Okay, I changed my Review from 3 Stars to 2. Went here for Combination Rice (My usual) and egg rolls. The Place is still basically horrible inside, but now the Rice is no longer as good as it was. If you're going to wait in line, and go into this place trusting you'll survive it, the good at least needs to be worth the risk. Sadly, it appears it no longer is. read more

What Happened?!? Chinese kitchen USED to be some of the best Asian food in New Orleans and that's saying a lot because of how abundant the community is here. Now they aren't even the best Asian place on Carrollton! This place is a product of what happens when you take your clientele for granted. They went years offering rude service and people stayed because the food was so good. But since Covid so much has changed. The rice is very different and the sweet n sour sauce has completely changed. I hope other businesses look at Chinese Kitchen as a learning experience to not deviate from what got you here. Changing the supplies on the smallest thing can sometimes make a world of a difference. read more

Best Chinese Restaurant in New Orleans. I've been going here for the last 30 years and never had any problems.

I came because a friend of mine raves about the egg rolls. So I ordered egg rolls and because I get wontons everywhere I go, I ordered those also. The building is in such an awkward spot but I made it work. The egg rolls were just as they'd been described to me...they were huge and filled with juicy greatness! The wontons on the other hand...I was quite disappointed. I'm used to wontons being stuffed with cream cheese and crab in some cases. This However was a huge wrapper with one little measly shrimp...a tiny shrimp at that. I was so outdone I was even upset, I just laughed. I just know I won't be getting that anymore. To sum it up, I'll go back and try other thing...just not the wontons. Lol read more
