Called in an order around 4:30 on a Friday and was told it would take 30 mins, it was ready right on time but if you call any later, expect to wait. Place only has a pickup window/door, nothing fancy, just 2 gentlemen working hard and are no nonsense. Food was fresh, very flavorful and packed. Highly recommend the #13 Crispy scallion chicken & #12 General Tso chicken. We got 4 combos for $26 which is unheard of nowadays! Remember to tip generously, we need to support these types of hidden gems in the area. read more

China kitchen has excellent food and it is always consistent. I have found none better in the area no matter the price. the prices are very fair. The owner is always there and he and the cook work very hard to be sure the quality doesn't slip. Kay Davis read more

Everyone felt like Chinese during a recent visit to see our Son and Daughter-in-law in Rock Hill, and the place they considered their favorite was closed on Mondays. Lucky for us. We then chose China Kitchen based on Yelp ratings, and it was a great choice. This place is definitely carry-out only, which actually is the only way we eat Chinese. When we pulled into the parking lot, and walked up to the restaurant, we were very hesitant. The door to the restaurant was propped open, and there was a table literally sitting in the doorway so that you couldn't enter. Turns out you just yell through the door, and they put your order on that doorway table, you pay, and you leave. They have an indoor space, but clearly have no intention of using it, as every single table was covered with boxes of supplies & such. For our group, we had garlic chicken, chicken & broccoli, sa cha chicken, and crispy scallion chicken. They sell everything as a combo, which is a great price. The egg rolls were okay, the rice pretty average, and the first three options I listed were all good. The crispy scallion chicken was very good, and I also got a small order of hot-sour soup, which was as good as any I have every had. The prices are unbelievably affordable, and will make you quickly forget about waiting for your food at a table in a doorway. And this is now our new favorite Chinese in Rock Hill. read more

Great spot for Chinese take out. Excellent food, generous portions for a great price. I wish they had online ordering for pick up. I could only find online ordering for delivery. read more

Takeout only and you have to call to place your order. Just a two man show but they get it done! VERY generous portions and very affordable. The food is delicious! Highly recommend for Chinese takeout. read more

Great Chinese for ridiculously good prices. Owner is super kind and hard working. Make sure to leave him a nice tip cosidering the fact he gives such fair prices you can't find anywhere else these days. read more

Do not judge this book by its cover. The food was better than most Chinese food places I have ever been too. The prices are insane. Best in Rock Hill hands down read more

Just got take out from here today and Yum!! I know several reviews on here talk about wait time and now given the whole corona virus thing plan on upping that. But was def worth the wait. We ordered 3 combo plates, an order of the appetizer portion of chicken wings and a pork lo mein all of which came in at a ridiculously low price of slightly over $27. This amount of food is huge and there's def no lack of meat or flavor. Can't wait to try even more of the menu. The two guys inside are working super hard and it was packed today. Definitely a great local place to support!! read more

Nice inside with updated maroon furniture. They have 2 TVs in here that are presently on local news channels. Looks pretty clean and bathrooms are clean with everything working. They have sodas in cans like coke and Diet Coke. But, most customers get drinks from the fountain drink machine over to the left. Refills are free from my visit. They have Chinese decor on the walls including Chinese paintings and artifacts. Menu items ordered. Small chicken and broccoli with fried rice and an egg roll with sweet tea. Sweet Tea was sweet enough and didn't have too much sugar like most Chinese restaurants sometimes do. I was hungry so my chicken and broccoli tasted great and was cooked just right. It was also moist, tender and had some sauces added to it. I also added soy sauce to everything including the rice. I left full and happy. The customer services was great. The Chinese guy who waited on me was friendly. He even gave me a free refill of sweet tea and brought it over to my table. I came here to get my order to go. However, i liked it inside so much that I changed my mind and dined in. In summary, I am glad I came here today. I will come back if I am in the area and want Chinese. So, I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone. Altogether, I thought this was a great Chinese Restaurant. read more

Delicious food the wonton soup is so good and tasty. I love this place and their service is very good. The food comes out fast. The environment is so calm and the place feels cozy!! 10/10 read more

For the price, you can't beat it. Food quality was good, take out was quick. Convenient location. Will definitely go back

Looks like a dump and it is a hole in the wall. But with a takeout combination dinner that can suffice for lunch the next day also - for $4.50 to $5.50. Suck it up and enjoy the sauces. For these prices and friendly service, tip heavily! Oh - if they say 30 minutes, it will be 50. They can't estimate time well but they sure can cook! read more

Love the food and prices and friendly staff. Enjoy eating here every time we order. Have not been disappointed at all.

Discriminated against because of what I order.... I literally went from recommending this restaurant to someone, to driving there and being refused service.... I have recommended this location to 100s of people to visit this place to order food. When I visit here, it usually takes me 45 minutes to an hour to drive to this location (1.5 hours round trip). I have eaten here off and on for a few years. The food is usually pretty good, and is not comparable to the other places around because the price is good and the food is good. However the service itself is suffering, which strangely the business thinks that it is okay to pass this suffering onto their returning customers. Today I visited a friend to help her hookup some electronics while thinking it was nearby the location and was thinking it would be worth ordering food. I usually do not call-in because I don't mind waiting, however today I was told it will be an hour and a half (90 minutes) before I can even place my order, while I listen to the orders being taken ahead of me being told it's 30 minutes until their order would be ready. Usually there is a long wait, and I've even waited happily past what I was told was the normal wait time for business on those days, and of the 100s of people I have told to patronize this place, I have told them all it was well worth the wait. Until today that is. I can no longer recommend this location. When the business is telling people by phone that 30 minutes is the time until their order is ready, there is no reason you should be telling a returning customer that they have to wait for 90 minutes just to have their order entered in and placed. That is when I don't return, because I know the business is headed in a direction that's downhill and there's no recovery from it. Most businesses would appreciate a good customer. Yet here I am after riding in freezing weather, only to be told in the day that I would have to wait until past nightfall to be able to place an order, which would mean I would have to carry my order another 45 minutes away in below freezing cold. I'm literally home now, and have waited for food elsewhere, gotten food, come home, eaten, and yet I would still only be allowed to place my order NOW after all this time, meaning I would still have another 30 minute wait myself and another near-hour drive home (meaning I would have to starve myself and freeze just to eat here). This is what is called negligence, and discrimination. Not once have I ever had a business owner tell me I need to put my life and health at risk just to patronize their business, until today. When a business starts making the customers suffer, that's when that place is headed towards death. If I would have waited I would still be waiting right now, and would have had to wait another 3 hours before I would be able to make it home to eat. I was already riding in freezing weather but to be told I have to wait until night-fall to place my order when the temperature is well below freezing, that's just horrible business. Customers should not have to suffer, just because you have to wash something to make their order, but that's how customers are treated here. The only problem I've ever been told there was is that the pan has to be washed to make my order... but if you have a problem washing a pan in the restaurant business, is the place really healthy enough for anyone to eat when they are that mad about having to wash a pan to make an order? Most places have someone to wash the pan, or have an extra pan, but here I'm literally pushed aside as a customer because as I'm told, a pan simply has to be washed. The guys work hard from what I see, so I don't think it is fair to say or call them lazy, but it's really pathetic that because restaurant workers don't want to wash a restaurant utensil, the customer has to put their life and health at risk just to order a plate of food here.... that hardly seems fair or even sensible. I tell people about this place all the time but never again.... not after how I'm just pushed aside. read more

Since we have been going here it has been takeout only. The food is very good and very affordable. They offer a wide variety of dishes. They are a little quirky about their hours of operation. read more

Affordable and yummy to-go Chinese food. Just know it will take 45-60 minutes after you order. Worth the wait with big portions!

A wonderful, wonderful restaurant/! A real treasure! These guys work very very hard. Everything is always perfectly made.

Very rude, I called to place an order and a man answered the phone yelling. I proceeded to order rice and yelled at me telling me that what I was ordering was wrong when that's how I had seen it on their menu. The call was cut off so I called back and when he answered he seem in a bad mood still, and before I could start ordering he hung up. Never again. read more

I just moved to the area & was looking for a good Chinese food place. I utilized Yelp to help my search, (thanks Yelp). I got the MuGuGi pan & spring rolls. Wow! GREAT food! Prices are unbelievably cheap, so I tipped a larger amount than I would normally. I kept reading on Yelp about only "two guys" working the joint, and sure enough, I walked in & saw the two guys, very friendly btw, both working their lil' hearts out. My order was perfect, the food was OUTSTANDING & the service was impeccable! Cute lil' place! I most definitely will b I have found my go-to Chinese restaurant! read more

This is the only Chinese restaurant I've tried in rock hill but there was no need to go anywhere else because it's the best! Alway get the sesame chicken combo and it's good every time, cheap for the amount of food you get and have always had a good experience ordering and picking up my food. read more

Called for take out and gentleman that answered phone was in a hurry, rude and was not willing to change menu item. He hung up on me. So rude!!! read more

Never been there and now I never will! Never been spoken to in such a rude manner before when asking about a dish. Took my business elsewhere and I can say Golden China was awesome and very nice! read more

Best in the area! There is a wait, just call ahead. Always cooked perfectly, I've never been disappointed.

last nite we had sesame chicken, chicken & mixed vegetables, sweet n sour chicken, vegetable lo mein & chicken wings and my family and my-self love this place. i have been eating from here for probably 2 years and have never not been satisified with the food or the service. brenda 10-19-22 read more

If you're on here complaining that the owner isn't providing you with the best customer service experience ever, get over it. You're the one who chose to go to the place with the BEST deal on food in town. Of course it's going to be extremely busy, and yea, regulars are going to get priority. Find the same quality food for the same price I challenge you. Seriously though, It's $5 for a huge combo. Go sit down and tip if you want to pay for someone to fake care about you. read more

Service is a little bias on the individual that shows. I placed a order over the phone and when I asked about a estimate on the time. They just hung up.- no biggie. When I got to China Kitchen there was one guy waiting and I asked had he been helped he said yes, so I went to the door to check on my order. Sat for few minutes - he never asked me about my order and then another guy walks up (white) he sat at the door for 30secs to a minute tops and then the Owner or employee immediately ask him about his order. Even though I have a hood on my head doesn't mean - I don't expect good customer service. I ended up just leaving and spent my money elsewhere. I don't understand how certain business aren't held to the same standards as others and stay on open with poor service. read more

My husband would consider himself quite the Chinese takeout connoisseur, and this gem of a place wins hands down in flavor, serving size, and price value! We usually both order the Hunan Chicken, and I do not know what secret ingredient Mike puts in his sauces (it is not MSG) but it is out of this world every time. There can be a wait if you do not call ahead enough and there are days he has to turn down orders entirely, because their food is so good and affordable, they tend to stay busy. Love, love, love this place! read more

Good food at a great price. We enjoy take out from here. This place doesn't operate as a dine in restaurant. This lowers their costs, so the customers enjoy the benefit of cheaper prices. The food is always made fresh, so you may need to wait for it to be prepared. It's worth it!! read more

Great food. They were swamped but delivered. Waited a long time but it was worth it. I will always recommend

I have been visiting here for a while. I located this restaurant during COVID for take out. I have ordered several of their spicy dishes along with others. The food is ALWAYS good. I am very satisfied and will continue to return. Friendly, but not very quick. My opinion is a little wait is worth the time. read more

I'm a bit perturbed at the moment at this place. Some douchebag picked my order up along with another order without verifying information first. The guy inside said someone picked it up and flat out told him I did not send anyone to pick it up! We left without supper at 7:30 when the order was placed at 6:10 (with a 40 minute wait). They are always late fixing the order than what was said over the phone. I give credit to them for being creative as to why the food wasn't ready. This is not an accident, it was laziness. Done with this place. read more

GoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooD and lots of food ! I like that you can see them cooking it and the LoMein is flavorful. My daughter says it smell good :) read more

China Kitchen - Chinese Near Me - Rock Hill, South Carolina

Don't tell anyone about this place! Okay- the food is good and it's enough for two. But right now is take out only and the wait is like 45-50 minutes. But what do you expect when their combination dinners are 4.50 to $5.50 - all day long! The reason the wait is so long is anyone who knows about this place orders from them at least once a week. Please tip well because they could be charging way more. Don't tell them I said that! read more

We have gone here twice for takeout and it has been excellent both times. We got spring rolls, chicken and broccoli and the shrimp broccoli. Huge portions and the food is some of the best Chinese we have had. We are from NJ and NY, we know Chinese. read more

Great food at a great price. You have to wait a while to after putting your order in (we waited about an hour) but it was totally worth the wait. We ordered chicken lo mein for my sister, chicken and steamed veggies for myself, and the husband ordered fried wings and sesame chicken. We were all very pleased. We will definitely be eating here again. read more

As take out Chinese food goes this place is top of the heap. Prices are low and food is delicious. It's THE ONLY Chinese take out I've ever had that did not make me feel sickeningly overfull. You know... the "Chinese food feeling" ... that didn't happen with this food. That's enough to make it my go to when I need some lo Mein and sesame chicken. I will say be prepared to wait ...they are NOT speedy and complaints will get you nowhere. Plan accordingly though and you won't be disappointed. read more

Best Chinese Food Takeout. You just to have time your order time right. There's always only two people working. If they say 45 minute wait, i would suggest add another 15-20 minutes to pick up. They give great portions of delicious food for the price. read more

Ewwww, food was Luke warm, shrimp mushy, vegetables hard and egg roll fried too hard. Egg drop Slime was thick and very yellow and nothing like soup, even after reheating. Will stick to Jing Jing. read more
