I tried it out for the first time today. I usually pass by at least once a week never knew it was a Chinese food spot until I was looking for some for lunch today. This small restaurant is located on the corner of Pacific and Zoe. It's a cool little space. I like the drapes or whatever it's called hanging in the door entrance so there's no door when entering the establishment. It was clean and the service was cool. You prepare your own plate like at a buffet but in to go containers and then you weigh it before paying. I got yellow fried rice, chow mein, orange chicken, beef and broccoli as well as some honey shrimp. The food tastes alright to me. Nothing was special or really stood out. I love supporting small businesses and prefer the local mom and pop Chinese food restaurants over Panda Express, however, I think I would've been more satisfied going there instead. I didn't like the fact they had yellow fried rice. I was expecting traditional friend rice. The chow mein was cool. The broccoli was cool. Didn't care for the beef though. The orange chicken was alright and so was the honey shrimp. The flavors could've been better. I spent $15.87. Not sure if I'll be back for the food. Saw a homeless man digging in trash cans while at work so I just gave him my plate. It was still hot and he was very appreciative. I was going to eat it still but after seeing that, I wasn't hungry anymore. I usually give spots a 2nd try unless the experience was too overwhelming or disappointing. Although, I do want to go back and try their smoothies and slushies to see what they're like. read more

My favorite spot ever, they have the best chow mein and boba. The lady working up front is always so sweet and makes an effort to speak spanish for you. The store is always clean and has enough seats. Totally recommend this place read more

Love Corner Kitchen!!! Self serve Chinese food!!! Don't judge me for what I'm about to say: I used to go get Chinese food and think "how cool would it be if I was behind the counter and could serve my own food?" Lol. Well at Corner Kitchen you can do just that. Walk in, grab yourplate, and serve yourself whatever you want and as much as you want. It doesn't hurt that the food is pretty damn tasty. I'm not overly fond of every item but the usual items I get (rice, chowmein, orange chicken, chicken stick) are good. The prices are pretty good too, your paying for weight. They also sell frozen yogurt but its limited flavors, still good though. Only reason I won't give 5 stars is because seating is very limited and they don't have fountain drinks, only a few bottle beverages. read more

I've been a customer at this restaurant for over 5 years. I've always purchased food and various boba drinks. Unfortunately I had a very negative experience that ruined my entire perception of this establishment and made me come to the decision that I will never be a customer here again. I purchased a Thai tea with boba and realized that it tasted very sour. This has never happened to me before and I have purchased the same type of drink without issues. I decided to return to the store with the drink to let the staff know. When I told the female worker (who to my understanding is the manager) she was shocked and seemed almost offended. She told me that no one has ever had that issue and even questioned if it was my first time purchasing there. I reaffirmed that it was sour and she just stared at me and kept denying. I suggested she try it herself to see what I meant. When she did she insisted that it tasted fine and that thai tea always tastes that way. She was clearly annoyed throughout the whole interaction and told me that she couldn't give me a refund since the drink was fine according to her. I asked if she could at least make me another type of drink and she laughed. She did end up making me another but not without giving me attitude, shaking her head continuously, rolling her eyes, and talking to her coworker about the situation in their language. When she was finished she slammed the drink on the counter in front of me. I thanked her for the drink but let her know that her behavior was uncalled for and I didn't come in with the intention of causing issues or trying to take advantage. I felt embarrassed because she raised her voice at me when everything happened even though other customers were around, one even checked up on me when we both exited. Overall I'm very disappointed and hope this doesn't happen to anyone else. However, if you're looking for a restaurant with a lack of professionalism, poor customer service, and questionable food quality give this place a visit. read more

I used to like this place because you pay per ounce or pound. The last time I went to this place I found a small piece of metal in my food it look like maybe a piece of. Metal Brillo scrubbier but I thought ok that was probably not preventable cause they have to scrub the grill. Today I go again get beef broccoli and some of the broccoli heads have what look like mold. So I don't think I'll go here again. Just be careful when eating at this place. read more

Corner Kitchen - Beef broccoli - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Huntington Park, California

It cannot get better than this!.. Chinese food with a Yogurtland kind feeling! You get charged $3.20 a pound, which is kind of good because at times you don't want to eat that much and just want an appetizer. They have all you typical main dishes from Orange Chicken, Beef/Broccoli, Chow Mein, Fried Rice, Steam Rice, etc. They also sell yogurt and boba.. very good spot to have everything in one place. read more

So I read all the great reviews for this spot and decided to try it out... Chinese food by the pound... What the _____?!!!! Seriously...??? Chinese food by the POUND????!!! Who does that?! And is it even legit food at that point?! Lol. Ok ok... I have to say, you walk in and you're a bit confused cause you first see ice cream, then you see Chinese food. I didn't know how it works. I figured out the part where you put your own food in your to go plate... Then I look up and it says "$3... Something/pound". I was seriously blown away. I got a bit frightened cause I've never heard of Chinese food by the pound. After taking my first bite I was blown away! It was so good!! It seriously tasted delicious! I still wonder how legit the food is cause I paid like $12 for two plates and drinks. I can't even get a burrito and drinks for that price, lol. I got some chow mein, some orange chicken, and some other chicken, and an egg roll, with a Squirt. I haven't had squirt in such a long time I forgot it even existed lol, but not at this place! I want to say try it, but it's up to you if you trust it. I THINK it's legit food, just the food by the pound thing throws me off. Lol. Otherwise this place is a cool spot. Try it out! read more

i used to come here a lot until recently i stopped by to order only one drink which is usually around 4 dollars, I was charged 10 dollars and i hadn't noticed since i did pay with apple pay, i realized later that day when i was going through my bank statements and decided to go back the next day to clarify i was overcharged i had to ask for either a refund or my extra drink i never purchased moral of the story pay cash !! read more

This place is great for a quick lunch or even dinner. Currently at $3.39 for a lb of classical Chinese fast food dishes to choose from. They also have a yogurt bar with fresh toppings and a drink bar. Thaitea was pretty good only $2. Self service but the cashier weighs your styrofoam Togo box and tells you your total. Quality of food tastes fresh and homemade compared to A LOT of Chinese fast food places I've tired in HP/Vernon area so I definitely recommend coming here if you're looking for a good, cheap & fast meal in HP. read more

If you want Chinese food, boba, and frozen yogurt all in one this is hour place. The food is really food and the price is good too. The food is also cafeteria style so it's all self serve and they have a wide variety of food and appetizers. Highly recommend if you're looking for a quick bite. read more

Been here a few times and the food is mediocre at best. It is a decent spot if you're craving to get a quick Chinese food fix but wouldn't recommend eating a lot of this food since after you eat it, you tend to feel a bit uneasy. It's just not very healthy food, tastes like it's made with very low quality ingredients. read more

Some of the best Chinese food I've ever tried. I came here once and can't get enough everything taste so good I would recommend this place to anyone. read more

Me and my friends just came out of an arcade and we were hungry but couldn't find a good place to eat. We were about to give up and go home but decided to stop by the corner kitchen just to see and I am very glad we did. They looked like they were closed but they let us in. They're smoothie machine was turned off but I really wanted a smoothie with Boba and they quickly turned the machine on and made a delicious smoothie for me. The food was Chinese and was arranged like a buffet so you could pick and choose what you wanted. They probably let us choose the food buffet style cause they were getting ready to close. The food was amazing and it really made my night after playing arcade games for a few hours. If you are hungry for Chinese food and in this area I definitely recommend the Corner Kitchen. read more

Corner Kitchen - Yummy food from the Corner Kitchen - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Huntington Park, California

Ordered through Uber Eats let me tell you their portions are huge !! And the food has flavor most importantly. Most importantly they don't miss a thing. I have been doing my research on most Chinese food places and their reviews mostly are that the business forgets an item or forks or condiments etc. with Corner kitchen everything was included and the food came warm. You can definitely share the portions read more

This is the best Chinese food ever!!!!! They have the food by pound and you pick what you want. I got a strawberry mango smoothie also best ever!!!! read more

I was really craving boba. And I usually go to "bobana" but it was closed already by 6 on a saturday. So I was on yelp looking for another place and I found corner kitchen. The prices are good. And the drinks are delicious! I will definitely be back for more to try out the food. read more

Wow, this place is awesome. The Chinese food is literally fresh, they do portions as food is going they make a new batch. They charge by the weight and that awesome because you can serve yourself what you want instead of getting little to no meat from the usual fast food places. I found this place when I was shopping in the area, so lucky I did because this is the place to go when I want to eat Chinese food. They have a little of everything from fresh Chinese food, chips, smoothies, ice cream, yogurt and so on. What more can you ask for they compliment all ages I loveeee that, I can enjoy my food while my kids are eating ice and smoothies so awesome. read more

I usually come here for the milk tea Boba and that always is good. Very creamy and delicious. Today I went in for food and it was so damn busy. I didn't really deal with the workers but some of the customers are rude. I went in for three plates; my S.O. was serving himself and I was serving for two. I get that you have to wait your turn but I felt so rushed. The people behind me looked at me like if I was taking forever! I was filling two plates!!! If I went any faster I'd leave without anything. Other than that I like this place. Recommend it if you're eating out. Just have some patience with your side of chow mien. read more

This handy restaurant can get packed during the day on weekends. I say handy because they sell frozen yogurt, Chinese food, and smoothies!! Where else can you get all 3 in one place?! If you're in HP shopping, definitely eat here--it's worth it. The prices are decent and the food is good. read more

One of the best Chinese food places I've ever went to because I love how you pay for how much your food weighs and plus I love their milk tea bobas, and there is a varierty such as chinese food, regular stuff like fries, plantains, chicken kabobs plus they even have frozen yogurt and iced teas plus they are approachable try this read more

This place is gross!! So this place came highly recommended by a friend. I came here ready for some take out. I got all the way home and found a piece of someone else's gum in my teriyaki chicken. Yuck!!!! read more

I really like the smoothies and the frozen yogurt. Taro Boba is really tasty! A lot of variety for the yogurt toppings also.

What other place can u get Chinese food, frozen yogurt and socks all in one place?!?! Lol

I love this place, when my girl gets hungry and we are a little short on money, we love buying here. The food is good, and cheap. Usually we go to USC to buy Thai drinks, but this place wins when it comes down to prices! It is clean, a little small but I love Asian food and compared to other local places, this is good. Of course don't expect Asian cuisine. read more

Loved this place when it first opened up but then they stopped serving the shrimp so I was disappointed. Despite that I kept going, but one day I was passing by in the night and I saw that the workers were in the back room by where they cook and one of the workers spit into a trash can which I mean to most would seem like "okay he spit into a trash can" but still unsanitary. On another occasion I literally saw a bee inside the sour gummy worms. Gross. Would not recommend this place, they did open a new one just down the street but still I wouldn't recommend it. read more

I used to love this place but i got disgusted after i saw a rat come out of there when there were people inside gross and my stepdad told us when he goes to work (wich is 2am) he has since rats where the food cointainer goes after that im just grossed out read more

Awesome little spot to go for a bite of some pretty yummy buffet style, self-served chinese food! Personally, I can honestly say that this place is great, and from seeing how packed it gets almost every single day, I'd have to say that others think it's pretty great too, lol. Anywho, if you're into chinese fast food, then come on down to the bustling little city of Huntington Park and give Corner Kitchen a try for yourself! I absolutely LOOOOVE their coconut shrimp, it's soooo delicious and AMAZING!! I'm also a pretty big fan of their sesame balls, ohh my lord!! Sooo tasty and flavorful and wonderful and are always freshly made to order (: only thing I don't like is how small it is -.- could be and SHOULD be a lot more spacious to make it simply perfect! But oh well, still enjoy this spot (: and btw, it is a 3 in 1 kinda place, they serve chinese food (duh), frozen yogurt and boba! They charge you by the pound, but it's not even all that pricey, it's pretty affordable (: hooray for Corner Kitchen!! read more

Corner Kitchen - Got some orange chicken, chow mein, crispy fries, beef kabob and over loaded on the delicious coconut shrimp (: - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Huntington Park, California

All 3 in one , Chinese food , Boba & frozen yogurt. What more can you ask for? Best place for a quick bite before shopping down pacific. A lot of varieties of food and self served which is is plus because you get whatever you want not like other Chinese restaurants where you only have 3 options. Right here you can basically get a bit of everything. Really Recommend this place read more

Love this place the chow main is super good so are the fries and the boba ice coffee is bomb ! !

I travel far and wide from the lonely boring streets of Montebello to shack up with Chinese food by the pound. Its about 3.50 a pound for the usual menu items. Its kinda like in between a regular Chinese food place and a buffet. But what differs from buffets is thats its unlimited AT A PRICE. Plus the quality of food here is wayyyyyyy better than a buffet. And sure there's Chinese food places around EAST LA but here u get freedom to choose!!! Pick some coco shrimp, a little more chow mein, and not so much rice. YOUR CHOICE! anyways. This is the place for Chinese food freedom. And the Thai Tea is amazing!!! Not too sugar, not too watery. Its nicely sweet and milky. Right next to the arcade too!! Please never close. Oh and very clean as well. I'm high. Thanks! read more

They have the best Chinese food and they have a yogurt stand that is to die for. I love getting boba from there.

OMG, i love this chinese food place. Great selection, great food. Freshly cooked. I usually go at night and the food is amazing. Thai ice tea my GF likes it and the price as well. IF you are in the mood for some chinese food. This is t he spot to go. read more

Needed to find a place for quick take out. So I used Yelp and found this place. Surprised by the serve yourself design but I loved that I could pile on my fav and take a little of everything to taste. Big plus was they had slushies, boba and froyo! read more

Brilliant way to offer Chinese food, unlike others where you pay for the type of dish here you can get whatever you want and they charge you 3.20/lbs. The food is also very fresh, taste like they just cooked it a couple minutes before you put it on your plate. The only downside about this place is that there is hardly ever a place to sit during the afternoons because the dining area it's so small, so you'll either have to take your food home or eat in the car. P.s. they also sell frozen yogurt and smoothies which might be a plus for some people. read more

Now this is the smart way to do it... i get to choose what and how much food i put on my plate good food wish the place was bigger... hate the parking read more

I Drive to this hidden lil' gem from the L.A. Airport area. Sure it's a hole in the wall but their food overall is pretty fresh and descent. The low priced Balboa milk teas alone deserve the 5 star rating (1.99!) Try to go during the week and during the day. It's busy during weekends and evenings. I don't care if this place is too small, I love to eat in my car anyway and enjoy my yummy cheap meal! read more

Love the nice smell as you walk in. This place isn't no ordinary Chinese place. You actually have to serve your own plate. You set the price. Its about 3 bucks per pound which is a pretty descent price if you ask me. Also not to mention they got frozen yogurt machines for desert. Very affordable place. Great for the whole family. The food is very good and well cooked. read more

The place has good food for take out just that the business is too small and there are not enough chairs so I had to leave and eat my food elsewhere. If the business was more bigger it would be great. The customer service is great but the employees seem to work with a lot of pressure so it's hard to interact with them. I would say just work more on upselling the product and have more staff to cover because 2 cashiers are not enough read more

Love the milk tea and thai tea boba. They're super creamy and decently sweetened even without asking for extra boba there is more than enough in the drink. Their food is also pretty good for the price! read more
