    Crispy Orange Beef

    The orange beef arrived and was so and tasteless. We were unable to eat it. The noodles were ok. The noodles at least had some flavor.

    Changed ownership...... here's some recent feedback I don't know what happened, the ownership of Kitty's kitchen just changed. Before when it first opened, it was run by Taishan people who spoke Cantonese. They made authentic food and were super friendly and kind. My favorite dish used to be the fried chicken wings and their sweet & sour Thai noodles.... Upon ordering today, we realized the ownership changed after we realized they didn't speak Cantonese and didn't know which dishes we were talking about. We still ordered in hopes the recipes and food would be the same but much to our disappointment, the food is completely different :( Sometimes change is good, but in this case.. I'd argue against it. The chicken was just ok in flavor and dry and the soup is bland. The rice was super oily as well..... To give perspective, the chicken is wings but the inside meat is like breast meat... We're super disappointed as this was our favorite place and was something we would always look forward to eating... we're going to end up tossing the old menu on our fridge :( Hopefully they'll reach out to the old owners and ask for some of their recipes. Here's some pictures of things we ordered.

    I would say this place is a good value for a generous portion. The ambiance is that of a small hole in the wall family run local businesses that has been in operation for years. Things are older and upgrades haven't been made in quite some time. The decorations on shades were peeling but it should be expected from a more established local family business. This is not a fancy place to go in a date but a good traditional authentic food restaurant. The food was reasonably priced with generous portions so all in all it was a good value. Two combination meals with two entrees, Cho's main and fried rice each with two ice waters totaled $28 and some change. Service was personable and friendly. I did have to ask for my water refill but they were handling a lot of to go orders too! Lots of parking. I would say four and a half stars but can't give half stars on Yelp so it's a four. This is a local gem that is frequented by the locals. We will be back when we want Chinese food again and we recommend you give it a try. Check out my photos too!

    I was Rolling around Manteca and I saw Kitty's Kitchen !!!! Kitty's Kitchen is Located in a Strip Mall . They are a Family Owned Restaurant that has been in business over 13 years!!! So I rolled to Kitty's Kitchen !!! I parked in the Strip Mall parking lot!!! Then I strolled in to Kitty's and Grabbed a Table and a Menu!!! I perused the Menu and Ordered a Large Wonton Soup and a Combination Plate Consisting of. Chow Mein , Fried Rice , Mongolian Beef and Sweet and Sour Pork!!! My Combination Plate came out first!!! The Portions were Generous and Very Tasty!!! Out Next was my Wonton Soup!!! It was Tasty and Flavorful also.. Service is Friendly and Efficient!!! This is a Baller On A Budget Approved Establishment!!!! I'll be Back !!!!! I Keep My Pimp Hand Strong!!!!?

    I am always on a hunt for a good Chinese food and this one topped my list. I found this place through my husband when he decided that one day he'll try this place because he saw the picture of their orange chicken and was easily enticed. This place is small with both table and booth seating. I came here during lunchtime and it can get busy. Though it can be that, the food always come out on time and steaming. That day we ordered Ala Cart. Their orange chicken of course, salt and pepper fish, garlic green bean and house fried rice. All of our orders came out on time and I like that their servings were bountiful. Orange chicken was battered lightly that you still get the chicken it's coated with, It was fried nicely and the sauce it's smothered in was tangy, sweet and not on a too spicy side (which my husband loved). Salt and Pepper fish also has a light batter that was not oily. It also has a light salt and pepper seasoning that is not salty that it overwhelm my taste buds. I can't say the same with the green beans though. Although some of them has that snap with every bite, some of them was mushy and tasted off like it was yesterdays leftovers mixed in with the fresh one of the day. It really threw my mouth on a spin on how it tasted weird and bleh! The fried rice paired perfectly with all the dishes we ordered that day. It was very filling and filled with mixed veggies, shrimp, and bbq pork. These orders were shared between 3 people and still had leftovers to bring home for some eatin later. Their prices were reasonable and service was prompt, friendly and pleasant. We have been back here twice now and slowly trying other dishes they have to offer. Definitely a must try and their Orange chicken is what called to us to this place.

    The worse Chinese food I have ever tasted!!

    Kitty's has gone down hill with these new owners!!! Worse tasting food!! Highly disappointed I would rather eat Panda! Great customer service but you guys need new chefs!

    We decided to try this place in Manteca and it didn't disappoint. The flavors were very good and the portions are perfect for small families/couples. My boyfriend enjoyed their salt and pepper chicken, they were crispy and full of flavor. He would have loved if they added jalapeños for an extra kick! I love their chicken fried rice, it's probably the best chicken fried rice here in Manteca. Good food and friendly service, can't wait to try more items. 8.5

    Disgusting sweet and sour chicken and orange chicken

    Literally my first time eating here and will be my last. It was disgusting. In pictures the orange chicken looked good. It was unflattering and chewy. Even panda noodles are better. The egg rolls were also disgusting. Couldn't even eat it. Feel like a wasted 45$

    The food is really good and it has original authentic recipes and everything tastes home made. One plate will get you full so come with an empty stomach

    Fried Green Beans, so light and tasty! We couldn't stop eating them!

    Always a solid choice for a quick-n-easy lunch. A couple of us meet there occasionally for meetings as it never gets too loud.

I have been back 3 times since. Now I started ordering for my parents too and they really like the food as well. Tonight I got the prawns with vegetables and steamed white rice which is my favorite. My go to here. The shrimp is always well cleaned and cooked just right. Tonight I also got an order of mushroom chicken to try. So flavorful. My mom got the won ton soup and general chicken and my dad got the combination h plate which is fried rice, chow mein and Kung pao chicken. You can even ask for it mild spiced. You must try Lee's homemade chili oil. Beside great food the service is outstanding. When I called in my order and told her my name she was like "oh you have ordered before". If you haven't tried Lee's you are missing out.

    In general I don't like when places use the word restaurant in their name when they are to-go only…read more While it's something that I might take into consideration, the food alone is enough to make this rating a sub 4. For me this place is a 3/5. I ordered the general chicken and orange chicken. They said it would be ready in 15 minutes. I came maybe about 10 min later. Got the food and tasted it soon after I got to my car. Orange chicken lacking in that orange pop. General chicken lacking in overall flavor. What was the most unforgivable though was the soggy chicken. Eating at its optimal level would be eating it fresh at the table at the restaurant. Next best thing would be in the car as soon as you got it. But it's a to-go restaurant to realistically your eating it at home after it's traveled for however many minutes. As expected when I got home it was soggy. But it was already as soggy as possible to begin with. Why is this place a 4/5 I have no idea. Maybe since I came during off peak hours so they foods just sitting around and there's no fresh food turnover? No idea. Maybe I'll give them another chance one day but who knows. Also factor in that they don't have rice plates and the cost of pure entrees alone and that's a negative for me. I didn't know how lacking Chinese food was in Manteca because I was spoiled by the old Kitty's Kitchen. Nothing compares in the area.
