    a variety of food items on a table
    Diana H.

    I have been on a search for a great Chinese restaurant. A good mom and pops Chinese restaurant. I saw good reviews for this place so I decided to give delivery a try. So I'll say it wasn't the worst I've had but it wasn't memorable. I did like their steamed shrimp dumplings. The egg rolls were stale. The chicken and broccoli had a weird taste. The lo mein was decent. Sweet and sour chicken was soggy. I probably wouldn't go out if my way to order from here again. The search continues..

    This is from that metal scrubber they use to clean their pots. This was in our food.

    Major issue with their quality control. We found this in our rice as we were eating. For those who aren't sure what this is, it's from the metal pot where they cook their white rice from. They use metal scrubbers to get out the burnt rice from the bottom. From that metal scrubber this fell out but should have never been in the food if they rinsed the pot well enough which begs me to further question the quality control when cleaning. When we initially reported this, they informed us they would refund the entire order to make it right. After finishing the other portion of our meals which seemed to be OK, we noticed that nothing was refunded yet and called back only to be informed they would refund the portion of the item which contained this piece of metal. Had someone actually ingested this, it would have damaged our esophagus and probably required surgical removal. I really don't think this restaurant understands the brevity of the issue at hand given their response. If you value your own personal safety, avoid this spot.

    a bowl of cooked meat

    Fried rice was undercooked , chicken and broccoli with lo mein was very bland and I got the house special lo mein . I've had much better lo mein . Spring rolls were mushy greasy and bland also . Scallion pancake was way overly greasy (extremely oily and had hardly any scallion in it . Not worth it please don't trust the other reviews please . Bc I did and this place was a huge disappointment.Also the spare ribs were mostly all burnt and a complete waste . This was such a let down as I wanted to try a new Chinese spot .

    On this Valentine's Day evening, my partner and I ordered dinner from this establishment as we wanted to support the local economy. They are only serving pickup and delivery. Instead of using their website via GrubHub, I called up to speak with a staff. We ordered the scallion pancakes, General Tso's chicken (marinated chicken chunks, deep fried and sautéed with chef special hot pepper flavored tangy brown sauce) with brown rice and seafood fried noodles for pick up. When we arrived, we found parking at their private lot and I went inside. They only allowed patrons to a small alcove with a window. The staff inquired what we had ordered and waited a few moment. When we got home, the food was warm. The scallion pancakes were enormous but a bit greasy. The chicken tasted like orange chicken. The seafood fried noodles weren't what I imagined. I pictured the Cantonese pan fried noodles with seafood. The noodles they used were Udon. I used my comparison to those restaurants in Manhattan's Chinatown. So, we were a bit disappointed as I always wanted to try out this place.

    Food was awesome and very tasty, the almond cookies were delicious and delivery was great just perfect timing. Lian's kitchen you have a new happy customer.

    Look how perfectly wrapped this order was. It's amazing how much care these people put into it. Now this is high standards!

    Very cute, small Chinese food spot on the corner of a plaza in Lodi. My family has been ordering…read morefrom them since 2003 and they've always been great! Walked down there today to get some curry chicken, and it's very flavorful as to be expected - and I love that they add snap peas and water chestnuts to their curry! The woman at the front is extremely effective for how busy it can get between both the in-person orders and over the phone, and was even able to order in Chinese with her! 多謝您們,唐人中華料理!

    Believe or not, there are "levels" to Chinese fast food (aka bootleg Chinese food). And Lodi…read moreChinatown Gourmet Kitchen is, in my humble opinion, on the lower end. We decided to go out of our way and give them a try, based on some old Yelp photos of their pan fried dumplings and how good it looked in the photos. I constantly subject myself to new, lower-end establishments in hopes of finding gems here and there, but I should have known better with this one. This restaurant is very typical of any Chinese fast food restaurant and they serve most of the usuals here - I'm hoping the "usuals" of Chinese fast food need no introduction what so ever. In addition, there are your lunch specials as well, which are served daily from 11AM - 3PM. We ended up ordering the Pan Fried Pork Dumplings and a Chicken with Garlic Sauce Lunch Special with Pork Fried Rice and Wonton Soup for takeout. First, before I dive into the flavors, it was very disappointing to find out that the Pan Fried Pork Dumplings only came with 6 pieces. 6 pieces for $8!?!? What has this world come to that a bootleg pan fried pork dumpling is $1.33 each!?!? As for the food, meh. The pork dumplings were rather very average. It wasn't great, but it wasn't the worst pork dumpling I've ever had. As for the Chicken with Garlic Sauce - another meh. I've definitely had better when it comes to this type of a lunch special. The taste of it all was just a bit off and not as good as other Americanized Chinese fast food we've had at other places. It was worth a try to see if they served better pan fried dumplings than our favorite Chinese fast food restaurant, but the answer was a clear NO. As for the other food, it wasn't much better either.

    Americanized Chinese food that could be MUCH better…read more As a Chinese American, I've had my fair share of legitimate Chinese food in my lifetime and love Chinese food. However, I will also say that I've also had my fair share of Americanized Chinese food. Most Chinese people probably wouldn't be too proud of that fact, but I consider myself a man of every food. I don't discriminate just because a twist doesn't make a food authentic - yah dig? If it taste good, it taste good, even if not authentic. With that said, I do want my Americanized Chinese food to taste just as good as any I've had in the past and, unfortunately, Ya Food Chan's just didn't cut it for me. Maybe it'll do for you, but, for me, I've had much, much better. First off, as you'd expect with most local Americanized Chinese restaurants, this place can sure use a makeover. Honestly, it almost feels like a health risk every time I have Americanized Chinese food anywhere because some spots can look sketchy and Ya Food might be teetering on that border. I am glad to report though that I am 100% healthy and the food was fine. As for the menu, it has all of your typical favorites - Chicken and Broccoli, General Tso's Chicken, Egg Foo Young, etc., etc., etc. The menu was pretty typical of all Americanized Chinese restaurants. My wife and I decided to take a chance and we came here to order a few lunch specials and misc. items: Chicken with Mixed Vegetable Lunch Special Egg Foo Young Lunch Special Beef with Black Bean Sauce Lunch Special Pork Dumpling Hot and Sour Soup Typically, when we order Americanized Chinese food, we order from the Lunch Special menu and, shockingly, the prices were pretty much on par with other restaurants we had been too when we lived in NYC. From 11am-3:30pm, their lunch specials go into effect for anywhere from $7.15-$8.00. In addition, their lunch specials come with white, roast pork or vegetable fried rice and a choice of wonton, egg drop soups or an egg roll/soda. So, the prices are reasonable, but, unfortunately, the food was blah. In no way, am I expecting a 5 star meal, but the flavors were just off. The Egg Foo Young itself was fine, but the sauce for it did not taste good. It definitely was not what I have been accustomed to. The roast pork fried rice with our specials were OK. As for the soups, wonton, egg drop and hot & sour - all a real disappointment. All of them were watery and not very flavorful. Like I said, I don't expect a 5 star meal when eating at such an establishment, but I would expect better flavors for what it is. Americanized Chinese food is sort of my guilty pleasure and there was no pleasure eating the food we ordered. I'm hoping this was a one off and I might give them another shot, but there are also plenty of other Americanized Chinese restaurants in NJ that I would like to give a chance before coming back.
