Its was great before Covid, the food has lost its flavor, hot and sour soup has no veggies or meat in it. The potstickers are OK, but everything pretty much taste the same on the menu if you're getting the lunches. It was definitely better three years ago We still go, but we order differently I don't know if the staff has changed or they changed chefs but it's not the same. read more

Little Chinatown is my favorite Chinese food in the Metairie/Kenner area. The food is always ready super quick and is very reasonably priced for the great quality that it is. read more

My husband and I have ordered from here twice and both times were really good. First visit was mandarin chicken with combo rice and orange chicken. The orange chicken was good but a little zesty for me, the lo mein was different from most lo mein but delicious and hubby loved the mandarin chicken. We also got an order of crab rangoons and they were terrible there was barely any cream cheese. Tonight I got the honey chicken and he got the same as last time. They're consistently good, the honey chicken was good. It is a little pricey though, tonight was $33 for two plates. read more

My first time here. I tend to be an adventurous eater, so I hone in on unusual menu options. I was torn between the congee and the clay pot dishes. I ended up choosing the duck and taro clay pot dish. This was a mistake. Did it taste good? Yes. Did it look good? There was no clay pot like the name implies, but the presentation with the little flame underneath was cute. So why two stars? The duck was not very meaty, and it was butchered in such a way that every piece included a significant amount of bone and/or rubbery skin. I could not figure out a polite way to eat it in public. I picked out some of the taro to eat, but ultimately boxed up most of the food to take home. I also made a point to tell the staff that the difficulty posed by the duck was why I was having to take most of my food to-go. While I wasn't expecting a comped meal - I was taking most of it home after all - I had hoped they would maybe offer a little bowl of soup or an egg roll or something. I paid over $15 and ended up leaving hungry. read more

I use to eat here all the time and it's still good for a quick run in. Food is cheap, servings are nice sized and service is typically nice. They're also pretty quick and the food is always fresh. My only issue is the food isn't seasoned at all so it doesn't taste like much. read more

The pork fried rice is excellent. Service is very friendly, and the soup is good. The portions are very generous. Always have leftovers to take home. read more

To start, the service was quick, friendly and fast. Easy parking and nice location. I would not count this as my top Chinese restaurants food wise with one exception, the Won Ton soup was excellent! I would go just for that. I also got the shrimp, chicken & beef with vegetables. It had a strange taste and very goopy white sauce. My dining partner had the General Tao's extra spicy. I didn't try it but could smell heat! We also had fried pot stickers which were okay but could have more flavor and be crispier. The portions are enormous though and prices are great. Overall, it's a solid basic takeout but I wouldn't get my entree again. All about that soup though! read more

Parking lot was full when I got there. Drove around the block. Got back to the parking lot parking lot was full. I went in 3/4 full. I sat in a booth. Portions are huge and very good. I highly recommend it and I plan on driving from the lakefront bra to Kenna brah for good food. read more

Food was really good and a lot of it. Beware - the lunch special comes with egg drop soup. If you want a different soup, it is an upcharge of $3.45. Egg rolls were the best ever. read more

6/30/2023 - After a 3 1/2 hour drive, this meal was a wonderful treat!!! The chicken was cooked to perfection and the rice was flavorful. Also, the customer service was really good. They were really polite. Next time I want to dine-in and enjoy the atmosphere. Thank You! read more

Our go to Chinese takeout spot. Dry chow fun and salted fish are the best. Everything comes out fast and delicious.

On the outside it doesn't look like much but don't be fooled. I wouldn't say that this is the best Chinese food I've ever eaten at but it does the job considering how limited Chinese food is in the New Orleans/Kenner/Metairie area. I've definitely had better and had worse. The food here is very cheap and portions are pretty big. They have a pretty extensive menu. When my boyfriend and I went on a Saturday afternoon there were a few Asian families there eating so I'd say it's pretty authentic Chinese food. There were also a lot of people ordering take out. I had the kung pao chicken and my boyfriend had the sweet and sour pork. Pretty good. I just wish the kung pao chicken had more of a spicy kick to it. Ample parking space in the front. Clean on the inside. read more

Kenner has become a hot spot for ethnic food and one of the oldest Chinese restaurants in the area is still one of the best. When you walk in and you see Chinese eating Chinese you know its legit.

A long time ago I was told if you see a lot of people dining and for a a Chinese restaurant, a lot of Chinese people dining, then you know it's good. I have been to here a few times over the years and this axiom is true---this is a good restaurant with good food and service ---I am constantly amazed at the take out business this place receives---and quite often the take out is for families wanting 4-5 entrees as opposed to the single diner. And there have always been people at multiple tables---our most recent visit we ordered the beef chow fun, chicken chow mein and the tofu seafood hot pot----beef chow fun is a winner and will get again. The chow mein was good--better than most places--but not 100% Chinese authentic--and something I want to try again. The tofu seafood clay pot was a little bland and I would choose a different clay pot entree next time. But overall all hits, just as it has been each time I have dined here. Being that months go by --perhaps years--between my visits it's possible I do not remember, but each time I think there's different staff however each time the staff has been polite, informative and attentive---which is all positive for the dining experience. read more

It's probably the best you could expect for Chinese on the outskirts of New Orleans suburbia. They have a small vegetable selection, and when I ordered, the staff seemed less confident in it than I was. The house tofu arrived quickly with mixed vegetables and a fairly unexciting sauce. The chili oil offered on the side (which I got a second serving of after I exhausted the first) improved matters. They offer boba smoothies either with fresh fruit ingredients or powdered; I think fresh was a pretty obvious choice and I received a very full and delicious strawberry mango smoothie, although it could have used a tad more tapioca pearls. All told, it was a lot of food and good enough that I'd return if I was in the area, but not so much that I'd go any distance for it. read more

This place is our favorite for Chinese take out. We drive out from old metairie it's that good.

Szechuan | of, relating to, or being a style of Chinese cooking that is spicy, oily, and especially peppery * * * The Szechuan fish was especially spicy as well as tasty. The snow peas were garlicky and the fried squid was Xtra salty. * Portions were hugeee, almost enough for another meal. Def give this place a try if you haven't already! read more

I moved here from NY and was looking for a place that could satisfy all my Chinese food cravings that I loved, like walnut shrimp. This place does it. I crave it all the time! The service is amazing, the portions are generous, it feels homey. It's everything when I need comfort. read more

I've been getting lunch from this place for the past few weeks as I do my rotation, and I am so glad I found it! Their sweet and sour pork and orange pork are all so good. Very flavorful, and the portions are a lot too. I also got their hot and sour soup and their crab ragoons. The crab ragoons I can do without, it was on the soggy side and not crunch enough for me. The hot and sour soup is different from others - it's a bit sweeter and for someone who doesn't like hot and sour, this one I did. Definitely recommend and will continue to come. read more

Wonton noodle soup 3/5 They took frozen wontons from the freezer and threw them into the wonton soup. All 4/5 wontons Stuck together, not to mention the wonton filling wasn't good. Hardly any meat. Noodle, broth and veggies were ok Combo fried rice 5/5 Lots of meat, they seasoned it well .. a little sweet and salty. Smelled good .. smelled that wok burn Fish fillet congee 5/5 Lots of tasty catfish chunks and soup consistency / texture was great Great value for money but we found some hair on the wonton soup and congee. But can't tell if it was ours or theirs ? Later I yelped this place further, Beware this place has had so many health violations in the past. If you want great value, good taste but can overlook the sanitation issues.... then it's recommended read more

The first time I heard about this restaurant was years ago and I was told it was much more authentic then other Chinese restaurants. I agree after eating there since they offer specials others do not such as seafood and poultry dishes. I stick to the typical Americanized dishes, but my friend enjoyed a more authentic soup. The Mongolian beef is delicious but good for onion lovers only. I used to get a spicy chicken dish I don't think they have it anymore but all their chicken dishes are good. I love that they give you a rice bowl when dining. Always excellent staff and friendly. Try them out! read more

This is my second time trying Little Chinatown and I was excited to come back after my first experience. I tried the Peking Pork this time, and i was beyond BLOWN AWAY. The flavor is so unique and satisfying, and I will definitely get it again. I also loooved the savory texture. However, I also tried the salt and pepper tofu. It was honestly mediocre in my opinion and I wouldn't get it again. As always, you get a big portion of whatever you order, so there was plenty of leftovers. My favorite dishes are the Chili pepper chicken and the Peking Pork:) read more

Food was very good. Everything me and my wife ordered was a solid 8.5/10. We will definitely be back when she is way too lazy to cook . The service provided was mediocre. One of the servers seemed very rude and NONCHALANT. He didn't seem to be enjoying his time serving us. Not sure of his name but he had a dry curly bush and kinda short for a man. Son you should wear a smile on your face sometimes . The ambiance just felt off. The scenery is lifeless and doesn't really attract me to the place. Also the parking is very complicated and should be looked into. Other than that the actually food was good and the cooks did a very good job. I will be back. read more

They're open for dine-in or pick-up! So good! No pictures available. We started eating as soon as the food hit the table. So much food! Had a nice dinner and lunch the next day... that's always a win!! read more

Food is good most of the time but there was one time I went that it was unappetizing. I recommend the dumpling noodle soup or wonton soup( add roast duck or pork for protein) really delicious. As everything else. Price could be a little pricey for chinese food but some of their menu items can't be ordered anywhere else. Or at least none that I know of. read more

Words can't describe how disgusted I am with the staff and environment of this restaurant. To start off right when we walked in the door, there was a dead cockroach on the ground. When we ordered to go and I handed the cashier the money she rudely snatched it from me. As if this wasn't enough, our food was ready and they did not bring it to us or even tell us it was ready so we just sat there waiting wasting our time. The restaurant was not even busy either, maybe 5 tables at most with at least 4-5 waiters. I will NOT be coming back here and I advise you to not come here either. Spend your money and time elsewhere. read more

Little Chinatown - Dead cockroach at front of restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Kenner, Louisiana

Located in the parking lot of an unassuming strip mall along a crowded stretch of Williams Blvd, this small place really delivers some excellent food. The menu is fairly extensive and everything is executed fairly well. On a recent trip we stared with the wonton soup. Tender dumplings in an excellent broth. They offer a cup or a bowl. A cup is more than enough and a nice portion. We also ordered some friend wontons - they were excellent with a well flavored pork filling. They were accompanied by an unnaturally red glaze - we could call it a duck sauce - it was forgettable. At the table we had an order of the chili pepper chicken which dearies five different types of peppers and small chunks of dark and light meat chicken lightly fried and served with white rice. This chicken is fantastic - and don't be fooled - there are some seriously spicy peppers in this dish! We also ordered the Mongolian beef which is thinly sliced well seasoned beef that is pan seared and served with onions and veggies that are very thinly sliced and served in the Mongolian beef sauce. This plate came with a side of fried rice. Other favorites include the snow pea leaves and garlic, general tso's chicken, and always check out the daily specials because they are phenomenal. read more

Ordered thru phone, takes about 20 minutes to finish. 20 minutes later came to pay for my order to go, waited about 10-15 minutes to finish. When I'm about to get my order , they got the wrong name. So I have to pay again (assuming they voided the first payment I did), waited another 15 minutes to finish. All I get is sorry. WOW!!!!! read more

I would not recommend Little Chinatown. I ordered wonton soup. The cashier questioned my order when I picked it up. I confirmed that it did come with wontons, noodles and vegetables at the time of pick up. As you can see in the picture, the green garnish was considered vegetables. The order did not come with wontons. I called the restaurant and since I was not able to leave work for a second time to bring it physically back to them, there was nothing they were willing to do. I would not recommend based on the value of the product and the customer service. read more

Probably by far the best Chinese food available in Jefferson Parish. I have never had a bad meal from here. When I dine in, the staff are always pleasant and helpful. When I have food delivered, it always comes nicely packaged and great portion size. Highly recommend Little Chinatown if you're in the Kenner/Metairie area. read more

Since new owners have taken over, the food has steadily gone downhill. Portions are smaller and the food tastes different. Sad because it was so good. I added shrimp to my fried rice and got five small shrimp and had to pay $2.95 That is beyond ridiculous. After coming here for years, I won't be back. The last several times have been inconsistent. I gave it a shot several times. read more

I've lived in New Orleans for over a decade, but hailing from New York, good Chinese is not easily found down here. A coworker told me about this place, and it's been on my to-do list for a while. Finally got to stop in today. Drove home with incredible aromas in my car - I had half a mind to stop and dig in while on I-10. I managed to resist somehow, but just barely. At least I had a lychee boba tea to tide me over on the drive! Ordered way too much food - my coworker had suggested the salt & pepper squid, which was good. Not sure if it's for everyone's palate, but I love squid, so it works for me. Also got an order of General Tsao's chicken, which was pretty tasty, an order of Chicken Lo Mein, which was also pretty tasty, and then an order of Pork Fried Rice, which I thought was just alright. With all of this came a big ol' order of rice. And in case that wasn't enough food, I ordered two egg rolls as well. Verdict: Will definitely come back -- assuming my BMI permits. read more

That time of year when the Best Restaurants List comes out is the best - though clearly I missed it in 2018 because I just found out about Little Chinatown!! A great and cozy Chinese restaurant out in Kenner (waaaaayyyyyyy down Williams, then keep going) this place has that Americanized Chinese food that your dad likes but also jellyfish and intestines for your I-only-eat-authentic co-worker. The first time I went, I brought my mom and dad for lunch. Shrimp Egg Foo Yung is the only thing my dad eats and it wasn't on the menu, but he asked and they were happy to whip him up a batch. He LOVED it. My mom is a fairly healthy eater so she got the appetizer Chicken Lettuce Wraps and had leftovers to bring home. The Egg Drop soup is a big bowl with identifiable chicken and vegetable pieces in it - not just some gelatinous blob- and skinny crispy noodles. Silky, full of flavor and perfect. All other pales in comparison. We also shared the Honey Walnut Shrimp and it was perfect too! Crispy, sweet and tangy in all the best ways. Service was spot on and it was hopping at lunchtime. We've ordered for pickup several times since our first visit and it's just as good of an experience. Head to the bar in back to pick up and don't forget to grab your fortune cookies!! The fried fritters/Chinese donuts are these absurdly light crisp bready sticks (not sweet) and are the snack you need to get you back home so be sure to order THAT. We haven't had the jellyfish yet so I can't comment on that but I do know some folks who have said their authentic menu items are prepared as perfectly. There's a hint of unfamiliarity in every dish they serve - an undercurrent of mushroom, umami, tanginess. It's not your usual American Chinese fare, so expect to be moved and find some new flavor...even in dishes that you think you know. read more

Went with friends for a lunch recently. Friendly and competent service. Specifically went to try the Peking Duck. Do not order it. The presentation was really bad. The carving of the skin was terrible. The skin was not crispy. The duck body was hacked up in mostly non edible pieces. The buns were excellent, but the garnishes and sauces were weak. Also tried the potsticker appetizer and it was unsatisfactory. Other dishes were good and lunch specials are a good choice. The rating largely reflects the disappointment of the Peking Duck. read more

No manager on premises. Five of us went for lunch. Four of us got our meals 20 minutes before the last one. When we complained that's when we were told that the person they said was the manager was not. They had to call the manager to get the ok to comp the meal that came later. They said they could only give her a 20% discount. When we told them that was not the way to do business they got really rude. I will definitely not be going back because I didn't find the food good enough to put up with all the problems and especially the rudeness. read more

GREAT VALUE: $6.95 LUNCH SPECIAL Little Chinatown is my lunch partner's favorite spot for Chinese in Jeff Parish. I have to admit the flavors are clean and not heavy in sauces. See pic - the garlic chicken was cooked perfectly. The onions were carmelized but the celery and peppers remained crisp. The lunch special at $6.95 which includes a spring roll, fried rice and egg drop,soup is a huge meal and one of the best values in the city. SERVICE IS A MESS THOUGH For some reason today, my standard off-the lunch menu meal was forgotten in the kitchen. Two tables arrived after I ordered and they were both finishing entrées before my soup was served. Next, I was incorrectly charged for an extra soup and tea so that had to be sorted. And they didn't wipe our table clean until after several requests. read more

New Ownership = Lower Quality? Little Chinatown used to be a real place...... but: I order Kung Pao chicken. I asked them to make it "extra spicy."

My husband is still ranting and raving about this place. He told me every time we are around Williams Blvd we will get food there.

Got takeout on Christmas Day as an alternative to leftovers from earlier festivities. What a great meal! The service was prompt and friendly and the food was as fresh and tasty as always. This is my go to Chinese restaurant in the city. I can't say how great the service is at this restaurant. Even with takeout, they treat you with the same respect as if you were dining in. Very personable. If you go, be sure to ask for some of the homemade mustard! It is the best around. Plus, if your sinuses are congested, it will surely clear them up fast. read more
