The service here is fantastic. When I walked in I was greeted very friendly. The food was excellent. The crab rangoons were perfect. Great taste and crunch. The sweet and sour pork was also fixed perfectly. I highly recommend this place, and I'm sure you will enjoy your meal as much as I did. I almost forgot to say that this place is great for a quiet dinner. I will always be a regular here for certain. read more

This is a great place. I love the food and the people that work. There are super nice. It does need some update in the decor.

I won't order again. They are inconsistent with breaded/ no breaded chicken for their dishes. Last time. There are plenty of spots in town for Chinese. read more

My family loved this place. It's large with plenty of seating. Service is always fast. Usually some children around, helping at the front counter or with other things. Staff is friendly and efficient. Love everything on the menu! read more

My sister recommended this place for their hot and sour soup. We are both hot and sour soup lovers and I can say this place didn't disappoint. It's a little sweeter than a lot of places but different and that helps add to the deliciousness. I also had their Chicken Pad Thai. It was good, but I've had better. My friend had their sesame chicken. It was better than my Pad Thai. Their egg rolls were good. I'll be interested to come back at some point to try some of their other dishes. read more

I have not anything there that I haven't liked and I have had nearly everything on their menu. The service is great they fixed their dishes the way I wanted it. read more

The food quality and portion for the price is commendable. I ordered pork fried rice and red chicken curry and enjoyed both entrees. The pork fried rice was flavorful. It looked like they used ham cubes for the pork portion which is odd but, I thoroughly enjoyed it. The red chicken curry was flavorful but, I like a healthy portion of curry juice in my curry and there was much more protein and veggies. The restaurant itself is typical fast food asian. Clean, dated but, nothing fancy. I would say this place ranks pretty high on my list for overall Asian cuisine within the county. read more

Wasn't crazy about the food, it was ok but nothing special. The decor looks nice until you look closer and realize it's REALLY old and worn out. Service was great though but then again it was empty when we went read more

Everything is always very good at Cathay Kitchen and the owners super sweet and friendly. Definitely in my top places to eat.

Visited this place coz I was craving for chinese food. I ordered beef with garlic sauce and chicken curry which I find it funny coz both have the same vegetables in it. Green bell pepper, carrots, bamboo shoots and radish. Though it's salty, I was at least taste the curry in my chicken curry. Here is the updated menu. read more

A tucked away restaurant in a strip mall. We thoroughly enjoyed our delicious meal and great service. Seeking freshly made and large serving sized meals than you have found your go to spot. A large menu with traditional favorites plus some Asian varieties like Thai to chose from. We loved it and we return again for another experience. We left full and satisfied! read more

In area with wife from out of town for the Ark Encounter. Stayed at nearby hotel and ordered in after long drive. Wanted Chinese and Cathay kept coming up number one. Ordered Sesame Chicken and order of Fried Rice. Food was delicious and enough food to take home for a second meal for both of us. Only downside was delivery came to hotel but deliverer didn't text or call so it sat anonymously in the lobby for 20 minutes. Not a Grubhub or Doordash person. Went back to the Yelp app about the time we expected delivery and then saw it had been delivered. read more

Service was excellent and food was very good. I will definitely go back to experience more menu items.

We love the food at Cathay Kitchen but the service is non-existent. We have scratched them off of our places to eat. read more

Decent carry out. Well cooked and delivery with grub hub available It wasn't bad no negative just meh read more

The food here is a grade or two above the typical Chinese fare. The service has always been good and friendly and the restaurant is clean.

Rating is "not good" because horrible and incompetent were not available. These folks can't get an online order correct, and then they rely on DoorDash to deliver...double whammy. When I called and talked to the young man who answered the phone, he said, "there's really not much we can do about it...have a good one"... I loved when Raymond and Luisa were the owners...they knew how to do things the right way...these newbies?....not so much. read more

I have been visiting this restaurant on and off for almost 25 years. The former owner, Raymond, would always greet us by name, and the food and service were consistently top notch. After the business changed hands years ago we were concerned that the quality would suffer. Thankfully that didn't happen. Aside from an expanded menu, everything else is the same as it was 20 years ago, including the decor. We had dinner there on Saturday evening for the first time in a while, and were impressed yet again with the amazing quality of the food. I had the combination hot wok noodles, which has been a personal favorite for a long time. My wife got the Thai style Tom Kha soup and the Hunan chicken, both of them also excellent. The service was extremely courteous if somewhat slow, and I don't think they offer adult beverages anymore -- I asked about a beer and they didn't have any. Prices are very reasonable for the quality of the experience. Hands down some of the best Asian cuisine in this area. read more

Sorry to say I don't recommend. My sweet and sour chicken was not good at all , cold and way too much breading around each piece. It was not even edible read more

Cathay Kitchen was a regular spot for Chinese when I was growing up in Florence. Back in town for the night, I was excited when Cathay Kitchen was recommended for an easy take-out meal for the fam. And it lives up to my memories. I got the Singapore Mei Fun noodles, spicy thin rice noodles with shrimp, chicken and pork, with a spicy curry flavor. I'm not a huge fan of spicy, but these had just the right amount of heat. Plus there was flavor behind the heat. This wasn't one note. My only criticism was that there were only two shrimp in the dish. I would have loved to have seen more. I also had the steamed BBQ pork buns. I'm a fanatic for pork buns, so these were a must-try. And they were fluffy, soft balls of bao-y goodness. The filling was a sweeter BBQ, like I like it. Definitely get these. The Hunan Pork was also tasty. I stole a few bites of my husband's entree. I like that Cathay Kitchen has a mix of Chinese-American classics (i.e. Kung Pao chicken, Szechuan shrimp, lo mein, etc.) along with some other faves mixed in. I'm excited to try their udon in particular on my next visit. read more

Based on Kung Pao chicken only. Not traditional, as the chicken was breaded and fried? It had peanuts, 2 small slices of mushroom, and an entire sliced bell pepper. Served with room temp fried rice and a burnt eggroll. read more

This was a wonderful discovery! Elegant and peaceful ambiance accompanied with friendly and good service. The pan fried noodles were crispy and very tasty. The noodles are thinner than the usual pan fried noodle served at most restaurants. Portion size is on the smaller side, but flavor, quality ingredients, & presentation make up for it. The bamboo shoots are not the typical thin strips; instead they are tender, semi circular, & very fresh. read more

We ordered the lunch special. It was the perfect size Food is wonderful. Service not so good but very nice people

While the dine in aspect of this restaurant is severely in need of an update, this is turning into our go to Chinese restaurant. Food is EXCELLENT and there is a very large selection of options. Definitely a hidden gem!! read more

I've gotten food from Cathays several times and it has rarely been good. Super tough, dry, barely chewable chicken (we got the orange chicken and the sweet and sour chicken). I had to throw out most of my portion because it wasn't very good. Really close to home for us, so I'd love to love it, but probably will go elsewhere for Chinese. read more

Absolutely horrible. What happened???? You all used to be the best in town! Our orange chicken was over fried and so unbelievably dry, you couldn't even eat it. I would take a bite then have to spit it in the trash can because you couldn't chew it. And the crab rangoons were obviously old and cold. Then I couldn't even get a refund because I ordered through DoorDash.. really disappointed. Sad to say, my recommendation is don't order from here. read more

Cathay Kitchen Chinese Restaurant - Orange Chicken. Overcooked, Inedible, it was so gross. You couldn't even chew it, it was that hard and dry. Like chicken jerky. - Chinese Near Me - Florence, Kentucky

Excellent food, service is slow!. Spot on delicious every time and huge portions. We usually do carry out and everything is perfect. It's a family restaurant and that makes it even better as everyone is involved in the process. The family is delightful and attentive. read more

Wife's choice for lunch on her birthday. We had not been here before. Sits in the corner of an older strip mall, very unassuming exterior. I was very pleased. First, it's not a buffet. Food quality and portion size was excellent. My daughter tried the Hong Kong chicken, and would not stop talking about how good it was. I tried the Szechuan Mei Fun. Wow. Nice and spicy, loved it. Also did an appetizer, the chicken on a stick. Those were good, but I was more impressed with our server - she admitted they had overcooked them the first time, and had to remake them. My wife tried to wonton soup, and the cashew chicken. No complaints with either dish. We will be back. Maybe the best Chinese restaurant we've found in Northern Ky. read more

Amazing egg rolls, light and crispy. Breading on chicken delightfully light and crispy

For those local to me you have to take a little road trip up north to try this place. This is a gem, of great foot. Atmosphere is very nice. If you just eat the egg rolls you would have had enough but wow this place has some great food. Coming back from China Town in San Fran this place is just as good. I had the general tsp chicken and my wife had orange chicken. It was amazing. The lunch specials were 799 with a egg roll and more food than you can handle. 3 types of hot tea. With the trip. read more
