I've been coming here for over 20 years and it never disappoints. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and consistent every single time. The staff treats you like family and the service is quick and friendly. It's rare to find a place that keeps its quality this high for so long. Definitely one of my all-time favorite spots--highly recommend! read more

I called to make an order and messed up then said I didn't want that plate and the lady hung up I called again and she hung up. Either let her go or loose on business.. she's very bad for business will not be coming here anymore. read more

Changed owners and you can tell!! Noodles are different, flavor is different, and they use canned mushrooms.. Didn't like the food at-all. I know I won't be going back! Price for 6 egg rolls, 1combo, and broccoli beef was almost $60.00 and the portions were smaller. Don't let the egg rolls sit in the styrofoam box because they will eat a hole right through it and they weren't even hot. Staff aren't the friendliest either!! What a shame.... I used to love that place. read more

Love the eggrolls. The girls taking the orders get my order wrong tho ordered six orders of rolls only gave me 6 total. She repeated the order but dint come through. Still will go but please get assertive people on the phone. read more

Unacceptable quality of fake Chinese food. No flavor, price is ridiculous. I asked for extra hot not cooked for extra long. Ruined my expectations of Chinese food in Madera. read more

This place is now take out only Food was bad, ordered the shrimp chop suey with pan fried noodles No flavor, more noodles that anything else,;had 5 shrimps and very little vegetables Also found it overpriced Needless to say I won't be eating there again read more

If I could give a 0 stars I would. I went for the first and last time. I would always smell their food when shopping at Food 4 Less so I was really excited to try it as it smelled amazing. I ordered sweet and sour chicken and a side of chicken chow mein, orange chicken with chicken chow mein and a hot and sour tofu soup. The tofu soup came with chicken and my fiance completely hated it. When I was about to serve a plate of orange chicken and chicken chow mein I found a dead roach . I will never be eating there again!! read more

China Kitchen - Roach!!!! - Chinese Near Me - Madera, California

Haven't been here in awhile so have them a shot. Called and placed my order of chow mein and orange chicken. Went to pick up order and paid about $32 for both meals. Order was ready when I got there, did notice that dining room looked close. Food tasted great no complaints. Orange chicken sure was delicious. Had orange peels and dried chili which amped up the flavor. Would definitely recommend. read more

The plates from China Kitchen are generous portions and always very tasty. Our favorites are the sesame chicken or shrimp, beef and broccoli, special plate #1 (chow mein/ fried rice, sweet and sour pork, egg roll), egg flower soup and fried shrimp. The food is always great but the takeout wait times can be long. Sometimes you may have to call a couple times because phones are busy due to short staffing. However, there is a reason it's a Madera staple. Overall a great small business to support. read more

Just did a pick up order, rather pricey 7 items to go $102.46, better be good! Review to follow... Review: First off there should be no way u order 7 items and u get 3 items worth of food! I added pics of 4 items and they were just edible. We order Chinese food all of the time from or favs and typically we have leftovers for the next day. Well we just made dinner for one day. If I wouldn't loose my cool they would get this shit back. But, lesson learned never again will they get a copper penny of mine. We ordered sesame chicken, lemon chicken, shrimp fried rice, chicken chow mein, mongolian beef, sweet n sour pork, and finally shrimp with lobster sauce (which was soup wasn't supposed 2b) horrible. We have so much side rice I can make a whole dinner of a rice dish. No, no, nope can definitely miss this place. Imagine my surprise when I get this lil bit o food for the price & not only nasty but "luke warm", live just around the corner and it's almost cold. I'm cool going back to Pittsburg for our food. So far only Fresno have good food and it's from the large restaurants. Sorry, just cannot patronize locally I see......if I could give a zero I would have. Second experience here with horrible food. Learned my lesson Madera, I just cannot buy my restaurant food here. I love patronizing locally but I just don't give my $'s away, local or not!! read more

One of the best authentic Chinese food in madera. Staff is typically rushed from all the business. It would be nice if they had additional staff. read more

China Kitchen - Menu options - Chinese Near Me - Madera, California

My opinion, the best Chinese food in Madera. Huge portions. One plate can easily feed two people. They also have really good fried rice options too. But I love their steamed rice. It's never mushy. Menu is extensive, lots of vegetarian options for those avoiding meat. I usually order the shrimp fried rice, chicken chowmein, or teriyaki chicken. The lady always ask if you want rice or noodles with the plate so it's nice to have that option. I hope they reopen for dine-in options soon because I miss the egg flower soup they serve with dinner. Also, they do take cards or cash. If ordering takeout, I would suggest ordering at least 30 minutes before you want it because they do stay pretty busy during lunch and dinner hours. read more

My family and I have been coming here for many many years and never had an issue with their food..till last week we had got dinner on Sunday and I had got really bad food poisoning. Four hours after I ate I had a really bad stomachache, then a few hours later had chills and started getting a fever. I was horribly sick for 2 days from eating here. So please be aware that the way they are cooking and preparing the food isnt being properly handled right. EAT AT YOUR OWN RISK. read more

Don't normally write reviews but the lady answering the phone is one rude lady!!!!!! Was trying to place a order and she tells me to hurry up with my order because she has more orders to take... like really was gonna be my first time trying this place...but after dealing with Ms Rude lady won't even try it... take my business to New China Cafe way better service and food is very good!!!!! 1107 N Blackstone Ave Fresno ca 93701 phone 559-266-6505 highly recommended it!!! Way better customer services. read more

Review's made it seem fire, not good waste of money, rather go to panda and eat their dry chow main, salty af save ur money and time read more

Haven't been into this place for about 3 years used to live 2 blocks away so we would go their once or twice every 2 weeks since it was the closest Chinese food to us. So since we moved across town we go to the closer one to us now. But this time since the wife is pregnant she wanted some food from here. Food is good I have never had any issues with the meals I have ordered for us. It's always been fresh and hot plus I have always loved their egg rolls the sausage they put into them and pepper taste. So like I said I have never had any issues when I picked up my orders. read more

best spot for Chinese food ! they make everything fresh cook to order! that's what makes it so good and the cheff is so so consistent of his dishes that he prepared for the customer is the way he makes his at home! u have havent try orange chicken the real deal l! it's not like no china express experience it's like u experience the taste of china type of feeling! I highly recommend the spot to take your family and friends to enjoy for the best Chinese food in madera and the 559 read more

If I could give 0 stars I would! First when I called, I asked for 1 dinner plate. I was told the noodles have "no flavor" and if I wanted "flavor" that was extra. I thought most food is suppose to have "flavor" but okay. I chose to add chicken which was an additional $5! Plus, their dinner plates don't come with rice and chow mien it's one or the other. So I had to add a small portion of fried rice, egg rolls and shrimp. This all came up to $45! Wow!!!! When I got home, the chow mien was ok, the orange chicken was mainly filled with red chili's, the fried rice was steamed rice with soy sauce and the egg rolls where disgusting. I have to say for $45 it's wasn't worth it, not even for $25! We just moved to this town so we are having to try new places but I think for Chinese food, I'll continue traveling to Clovis. read more

Terrible experience!!!!! I order two entrees at 6pm and it's about to be 8:00pm. This is soo ridiculous. I asked for my money back to see if I could get it back and the lady just ignored me. I popped in twice into the restaurant to ask for my food. The lady kept telling me 5 more minutes every time I came in. I'm am frustrated and hangryyyy. Never again. After all rolled her eyes when she handed me the food.... read more

Whenever I'm feeling like having some authentic Chinese food, this is my go to spot. I usually do take-out. I'd say the food is a bit on the pricey side, but the amount of food each place has is pretty decent in my opinion. I've been ordering here for years and never had an issue so far. Sometimes they do get busy, so make sure you order ahead of time. read more

We will not be back. We paid $40+ for an order of egg rolls, orange chicken and shrimp fried rice. Very over priced and the fried rice was not fried, or good. My husband asked for a refund because the price was double what was on the online menu and the lady behind the counter told him no refunds because that was an old menu. We will not be back. read more

China Kitchen - A picture of shrimp fried rice with rice that wasn't actually fried. - Chinese Near Me - Madera, California

Was really looking forward to having a good meal from China Kitchen. I was so disappointed. I walked in a little after 4:00 to order. No other customers were there, just me. I placed my order, $79.00 for 3 meals and 2 appetizers one being egg rolls. I was told my order would be ready in 15 minutes so I sat down and waited. They got busy with walk in and phone orders. After 30 minutes I inquired about my order and was told they were waiting for 1 more item my other food was stacked on the counter. My 15 minute wait was 50 and when I got home my food was cold and not what I ordered. When I called to tell them she yelled at me. I will never recommend China Kitchen to anyone nor will I ever eat there again. read more

Ordered beef broccoli, half fried noodles half fried rice. Get home and it's white rice, I call them and they say they don't make fried rice. A "Chinese" restaurant that doesn't make fried rice... Avoid, for wasn't even that good and it was over $11. Never again. read more

This food was gross, I ordered egg foo young which was triangular shaped and not in anyway resembling the traditional dish. The "fried rice was bad and basically white rice with soy sauce and no other ingredients. All of the food was cheaply made and we threw out 40 dollars worth of food. We will not be going again. read more

You can't go wrong here, there's a reason why the wait is so long some Fridays. Love it! 2 sweet ladies run this and they know it's me anytime I order. My typical order is shrimp chow neon, shrimp fried rice 3 egg rolls and SOMETIMES Orange chicken. Large plates and I always have enough for lunch for 2 the next day read more

China Kitchen is comparable to the other Chinese restaurants in town. They have the distinction of being open Monday's. They include your house of rice with every entree. The rice and chow mein are only so so. China Kitchen is pricey but everything is alright. Madera would benefit from an elevated Chinese restaurant. To date they are all 'meh'. read more

I like to think I come here pretty often, except never for dine in. The food is all really good. The service used to be not so good, they have gotten better, especially when you start to become a "regular". The only reason for four stars is that I have gotten bad service on more than a couple occasions. Overall the food is great- to go. Edit- Someone must have told them about the attitudes they can sometimes have, I am happy to rate this a 5 now as last two times I went they were extremely friendly. One lady was even joking with me! read more

Was craving Chinese so we decided to give them a try! They were super friendly so that was a plus! We ordered our food to go. The food smelled so good all the way home... however when I sat down to eat the egg roll was soggy! The sweet and sour pork was also not crisp like it should be. The food was just okay, definitely nothing special or worth going back for. I would have given them three stars but for the price they're charging the quality isn't what it should be. On average they're dishes appear to be about 15$! Yikes! read more

Madera for a visit and came here with family 12+ they were great at accommodating a large group. Egg foo young was pretty good! Mongolian beef plate hit the spot. Price is competitive with others. But the picture of the entrees on the wall was a little overwhelming maybe a shrunk photo album of the entrees?? Staff was great. read more

China Kitchen - Mongolian beef with rice plate ! - Chinese Near Me - Madera, California

I absolutely love their shrimp soup. I've always had great service and great food. Shrimp Chow Mein

Ordered from this place for lunch and was pretty disappointed. I had ordered a plate with teriyaki chicken and fried rice and another plate with teriyaki chicken and noodles, the teriyaki chicken didnt taste or look like chicken, and the fried rice was plain with little to no flavor.Dont know what kind of chicken they use but it sure doesnt taste like it. read more

I've been going here for years and I never thought to leave a review. This is by far the best Asian food. I love the chowmain, the sauce is great and there's plenty of noodles and viggies. The wonton soup is the best ever, its light and full of flavor. Then the bbq spair ribs are to die for. They are a little intemadating with the hot peppers but they really are wonderful. The price may kill you but it's worth it! read more

I've been going to this place for years and the food never disappoints! Fast takeout and great prices. You can't go wrong with the lunch plate #1 read more

Why are there no reviews for this place? It's been around forever! Well first off, I'll just say that this place is not receiving 4 stars for the ambiance...very plain, a dozen or so tables and chairs thrown around, typical wall o' pictures of all the dishes...you get the point. The food, however, is really, really good. If you try nothing else, try the sesame chicken, it's my personal fav! And it's also the most expensive thing on the menu...go figure! The chow mein is fresh, very flavorful and not a ton of bean sprouts (yay!). I recommend the pork chow mein. Bottom line: great food, bad atmosphere. At least there's always take-out... read more

We've been coming for years.. and have always had a wonderful experience. The kiddos LOVE the pork chow mein. Highly recommended!!

I'm Asian and I know what asian food look like. This lady over the corner have the nerve to show me what chow mien look like when I ask her if they serve chow fun. I was insulted by what she did because maybe I walk in with my hubby who is Caucasian. FUCK THIS PLACE. If you live here in Madera, go to Hong Kong Chinese Restaurant. Spend your mula there. They don't deserve any star but has to give a star so I can post this comment read more

Me and my family have been customers of China Kitchen for years. We love the food and have never had an issue until today. We decided to order out due to the pandemic and thought it would be a great way to help a local business in this time of need. Unfortunately, when we got home to eat our food we noticed that our order was not right we had received the wrong soup, so we called the restaurant back to see if we would be able to get our correct order. My mother explained the situation very calmly and in an understanding tone but the worker on the other end was extremely rude and accused my mother of lying and saying that it was my mothers fault for receiving the wrong order. She would not even listen to my mom to try to resolve the situation, the worker continued to argue and raise her voice and then passed the phone to another worker. My mom tried to explain the situation again to simply get the correct soup, but instead was lectured immediately. Again. Over soup. Because of this terrible customer service, I suggest you take your money else where. No business should ever treat their customers like this, especially in such hard times when everyone in the community is struggling. read more

Was in the mood for Chinese, and decided to come here on the recommendations of a couple of people. I ordered the sweet n sour chicken combo and pot stickers. It's basically a hole in the wall kinda joint with chairs and tables, very plain no decorations except for a giant buddha near the entrance. The pot stickers were ok. A little over fried, but I like my dumplings more steamed. The to go box was 75% pork chow mein with a little fried rice and chicken on the side. Fried rice was old, had only three pieces of sweet and sour chicken (which was good) and the chow mein was crispy. I prefer soft style chow mein but the bbq pork gave it good flavor. The egg roll was also good. Not a bad place, I wouldn't mind coming here again but it's not my first choice for Chinese food. I will probably be venturing out to Fresno or going back to Merced next time I get a craving... read more
