On a recent trip to Visalia, we got the craving for Chinese food and after searching Yelp we…read morediscovered Chinese Kitchen was one of our best local options. The target customer demographic in this area isn't generally Asian, so we tempered our expectations before dining here. We were impressed by the extensive menu offerings and after some deliberation, we settled on the Dinner for Two which started with a Won Ton Soup and fried shrimp and pot stickers as appetizers. The entree included sizzling rice wor bar, Peking pork and pork fried rice (we substituted for pork chow mein). The restaurant was very traditional in closing the meal out with fortune cookies. Our favorite due to its flavor was the Peking pork, and we also enjoyed the fried shrimp, pot stickers and sizzling rice wor bar. The only misses were the Won Ton Soup (we felt the flavor of the broth was not quite right) and the pork chow mein (it arrived lukewarm and lacking in flavor but it was an improvement after dousing it in chili sauce). Chinese Kitchen doesn't appear to be located in the best neighborhood, but it is easy to tell that this establishment has been around for quite some time. The best part of our dining experience was the service. Our greeter and server welcomed us, took our order and checked in on us multiple times. We also had the opportunity to chat with the owner and she is very welcoming and helpful. If you're in Visalia and have a craving for Chinese cuisine, Chinese Kitchen is as good an option as any!

We had friends visiting from Daly City , so today they're in for a treat We ordered Tomato Beef ,Beef Chow Fun along with Salt and Pepper Shrimp. The most exciting dish was the Salt and Pepper Shrimp. Lightly breaded not battered and seasoned perfectly . The size of the Shrimp were good sized and not tiny. Tomato Beef and the Chow Fun were yummy as well. Daly City is far from Visalia. My friends are looking forward to their next visit to Visalia and dining with us at Chinese kitchen *** May is API Heritage month. Support Asian owned businesses. Stop #1 of 13 . May 3 , 2023 ***

I got a lunch special which was standard, although bravo at the prep time. The real star for me have been the soups. I am a big fan of wor wonton and they have that with noodles here.

I am one of those weirdos who eats hot soup on hot days and love it. The menu is deep and I'm sure to find more to enjoy. Adding this one to the rotation.

It was his favorite Chinese restaurant when he lived in Visalia. I had not been in many years, so I went with him for dinner one evening, and it was good. Not my favorite in this area, but good. The food was really solid. Very delicious, excellent food. We ordered family style, so we got great portions. However, the service when we went was very slow and definitely lacking. We knew exactly what we wanted within about a minute of sitting down, so we did the typical set the menus aside and fold our hands to signal the server that we were ready to order. It took more than 10 minutes before we were able to finally get a waitress to take our order. Not that there weren't waitresses there, they just kept walking by and saying someone else would get back to us to take our order. Our appetizer arrived 25 minutes after we arrived. Yes, it was so noticeable, I WAS paying attention to the times. We started off with the fried chicken wings, spring rolls, and tempura scromp-scromps. They were all good. Again, not my favorite in Visalia, but still quite good. A few minutes later, we got the Beef & Egg flower soup. Now, I love me some egg flour, soup, but then you go and throw some meat in it? Next level. That was definitely better than other Chinese restaurants in Visalia. Our main dishes started arriving at 31 minutes. We got the Orange Chicken, Honey Walnut Scromp-scromps, and Beef with Broccoli. These were all very delicious arguably as good or close to my favorite Chinese restaurants in town. The restaurant was relatively busy when I was there, so I didn't take any inside pics, but the inside is nice. The restaurant seemed clean and the prices were reasonable. It was really the service that we had issue with, and found lacking. It could've been a isolated event, I don't know. Even my brother was disappointed.

Instead it came with the same dried up fried chicken they use for orange chicken, hard and chewy and the "dressing" was more like a watered down orange sauce. It was disappointing. Also, every time I have ordered their dishes with fried chicken it is ALWAYS hard and chewy. I'm sorry to have to give this review, but it's disappointing every time I order chicken. I'd rather drive to at least Exeter to get Chinese from now on. I ate it because it was expensive.
