Potstickers potstickers etc.... Black peppered beef - small - quant - good Chinese food - go there

I used to really like this place, but they've gone downhill. I ordered the pot stickers and the lettuce wraps. The pot stickers were flavor less as was the dipping sauce. They used to be steamed perfectly and the sauce was very good, but not this time. The lettuce wraps meat was dry and flavorless and there were no vegetables as promised on the menu. We think we may have detected a tiny piece of water chestnut, but it was so small we couldn't be sure. The lettuce was fresh. The sauce for the lettuce wraps was so sweet and gummy that it ruined the wraps completely. Sadly, I won't be spending any more money at David's. read more

This is the first time I've visited David's since I was a young girl, and it is just as I remembered it! Amazing pot stickers, and they help you create the perfect dipping sauce that reflects your spice level. Wonderful Chinese comfort food! read more

We got the potstickers to share and they had just the right amount of spice in the sauce and were very crispy. Both my sweet and sour chicken and my husbands orange chicken were just classic Chinese food done well. The service was excellent, and our server was so warm and friendly and quick to converse with us about our travels as we were in Utah for a trip this week. I wish I had asked for her name. The restaurant itself is clean and well maintained. read more

Very busy, we had high hopes for this restaurant! Homemade Chinese food with huge gyoza that weren't just from the frozen food department at the local club store. Fried and stuffed, steamed? Delicious. The portions for the pan fried noodles were small, not shareable. Left still feeling hungry but spending $75 for no noodle dish, beef broccoli and gyoza and a couple drinks. read more

If you want canned and mid-grade Chinese food, then I guess you might like this. However, I do not. When I go out to eat, I prefer fresh and non-canned food. Potsticker, sesame chicken, cashew chicken, fried rice--all disappointing and underwhelming at best. read more

Went for a BMW club dinner/meeting. They treated us well. Efficient. First time dining. I would return.

Davids kitchen is always a favorite go to! Today I took my grandkids.! It was a hit! We ordered a Dinner No 2 and cleared our plates. Thank you Henry for always making us feel at home. The service, food and ambience is just right for a casual lunch or dinner! read more

David's Kitchen - Dinner No. 2 - Chinese Near Me - Salt Lake City, Utah

The food was cold, the service was just ok, I will not be going back there !!! The server come over and asked if thing were ok

We went to David's Kitchen last night. The woman hostess was not friendly at all. Asked us if we wanted booth or table, which was in broken English, which is fine. But for heavens sake give us break that it was hard to tell what you were asking of us. We ordered Sesame Beef and Dragon and Phoenix...awful! I don't know what kind of meat they used for the Sesame Beef and the chicken in the Dragon and Phoenix, but holy crap.... When the white rice was the best thing at our table, that says a lot. We will NEVER go here again. When David ran things years and years ago....what a treasure. David....they have ruined your restaurant. I had to rate this with a one star, and that was painful to do. read more

Very clean and very nice service. The food was great and the pot stickers were delicious. Highly recommend them for good food.

I loved the food here and the service was amazing! If you're looking for a fun date night with good Chinese food this is the place!! Would totally recommend!! read more

Came for an early dinner today with my cousin. Definitely an old school authentic Chinese restaurant feel with the dimmed lights and vintage decor. We ordered the family style meal option for 2 (egg rolls, fried rice, sweet & sour chicken, beef broccoli) the walnut shrimp entree & potstickers for appetizers. Our food came out pretty quickly and everything tasted good! My fav would be the potstickers, fried rice & walnut shrimp. Reasonably priced, great service & authentic Chinese food! read more

We drove down from North Ogden for an appt. We had heard of David's Chinese and had to try it. WOW! We give them an A+! The waiter was attentive and kind yet not over bearing - Henry. Absolutely yummy food! The hot and sour soup was not too vinegary and the made in house pot stickers were to die for. We ordered a dinner for two which was enough for 4 people. We will definitely be back! read more

Takeout or sit in the restaurant. The food is simply incredible. There's a reason they've been in business since the 80s

The food here is not good. We had 3 of us there and all three were disappointed. But worse than the food is the service. We were set n a corner and other than the food being dropped off we never saw anyone at the table again. I had to get up and ask for the check. read more

Not only where they willing to serve us close to their closing time, but they took they time to make sure the food they served us was tasty and extremely immaculate! It was my first time eating there, they have a life time customer read more

We have pork fried rice which there was literally no pork to be seen. The beef lo mein was ok but for the price there was barely enough for 3 small servings and only a little bit of beef. Service was great the food left a lot to be desired. read more

Goof fried shrimp. Ham fried rice was reheated and had a dark color. Good hot and sour soup. Nice atmosphere. .

Best Chinese food in SLC. I don't care what any of the other reviews say. It's the best around. I will not go anywhere else. Service is always great and portions are large family style servings. I've never had anything I didn't like. read more

I have literally spent years trying to love this place, but I just can't ignore a few issues. My last pick up order included: potstickers $10, egg rolls $6 hot & sour soup - bowl $8 curry chicken $16 kung pao chicken $16 Szechuan beef $16 veggie lo mein $16 One might expect to also receive an adequate amount of white rice to accompany this order, perhaps 3 containers to accommodate the 3 $16 protein dishes. I certainly understand that the lo mein might not include rice as it contains noodles. Ok, fine. However, we received 1 container of rice in total. Considering that 4 people shared this fairly good-sized order, 1 container of rice seemed rather insufficient. So, instead of making a big deal, we cooked our own pot of rice, delaying dinner by another 25 minutes. The following day, we thought we would try the Mongolian beef since we forgot to order it the previous night, so we stopped in and ordered one container ($16) for takeaway. When presented with the prepared entree that was not accompanied by rice at all, we asked about it and reported that we received only one container of rice for 3+ entrees the night before. The answer we received floored us. We were advised that one container was considered to be 24 ounces of rice, and that is intended to serve 3-4 people at 6-8 oz each (volume or weight?). Having never received less than a full rice container per entree from any other Chinese restaurant in SLC, LA, SanFran, Chicago, or NYC, I was stunned by this answer. Considering that rice can be purchased quite inexpensively, it seems like the stupidest thing to chintz out on and probably creates more bad will than many other cost saving methods. But, this isn't the only skimping we encountered. The entrees each had very little flavor. In fact, they are so bland that I wonder if the chef(s) use only enough spice to color a dish, such as the yellow curry, but not enough to evoke the heady experience expected of this style of cuisine. Spicing is a carefully crafted art form in most Asian cuisine, and maintaining a working supply of decent quality, fresh, aromatic spices is not cheap. I'm not talking about salt or msg. I mean everything from ajwain to za'atar. Proper spicing is the basis of the quest for "good" food, whether Chinese, Thai, Indian, or non-Asian dishes such as Mexican, Creole, Italian, Ethiopian, Greek, Lebanese, French, Moroccan, or simply burgers and Buffalo wings. Properly seasoned, hygienically prepared food is what we expect from restaurants. I find it very interesting that my clothes have the odor of spices when I leave a good restaurant, but instead smell of cooking oil when I leave a mediocre restaurant. Leaving David's Kitchen after waiting 20 minutes for takeaway, my clothes reeked of oil. Cleanliness is possibly the only thing more important than flavor, and the Health Department is a great resource for evaluating the hygiene of your favorite restaurants. See David's recent evaluations at: https://slco.org/health/inspection/ All in all, the food is mediocre and the inspection report tells a sad hygiene story, no matter how much I want to love it. Come on, David's! You can do so much better than this. read more

We ordered 3 combos, BBQ pork and fried shrimp (6). Combos meat to veg ration was overpowered by veg. Shrimp was good but not $8.99 good. BBQ pork was lazy made. Instead of tossing the pork with sauce. They just drench it on top. Also the pork was very dry. This place is good if you live close with no transportation. Otherwise, it's best go somewhere else. read more

The best pot stickers. When I worked in SLC I would go here all the time. Now it is one of those places that I crave and stop in when I'm driving through the valley. read more

I was so craving a good Chinese dinner so we opted to try out David's. We were immediately seated (or should I say waved at and pointed to a table). The restaurant was about 60-65% full (plus we found out a group in the back room). Only 2 servers working so we knew to be ready to order as soon as we got the opportunity (we were starving). Our order for 2 was taken as was the table of 2 next to us. Their appetizers came out and then as their food/dinner came out - so did our pot sticker appetizer. Then we waited and waited and waited at least 30 minutes. The table next to us has finished and departed before our 2 dish dinner came out and then they forgot the rice. Food was meh - not really any flavor to it. The sauce was bland. Service was meh too and no one seemed happy or wanted to be there...always abrupt. That is until we paid for our meal and then we got a little smile and thank you. This will be our one and only time at David's. So wanted to love this place that has been around forever. However, I can get so much better at many other great places especially for the price. Dinner (2 entrees with potstickers and 1 fried rice upcharge) with tip was $64. read more

For Chinese this place is not bad. Normally we don't care for American Chinese food. Everything is good, beef is probably better than the chicken. Definitely try the Pot Stickers. They have a nice private room for parties. read more

My wife and I ordered Chinese and were very disappointed.we ordered siscuan but there was no spice in . read more

#1 pot stickers!!! David's has been our favorite place to get delicious Chinese food for decades. Our go-to order includes: general chu chicken, lo mein, sweet and sour pork chop (not breaded!), walnut shrimp (I only order this when at the restaurant- not my fav for takeout), and 2-4 orders of pot stickers. I can emphasize enough how much I love the potstickers. We love visiting with Lee and Henry, and the rest of the staff is always helpful. I miss the old location behind Gino's, but being able to get a table on the weekend is a solid bonus. read more

Ordered kung pao chicken and sweet and sour chicken also chicken lo mein and cream cheese wontons. Our favorite was the wontons the other food was bland with no flavor at all the kung pao had no color to it just a bunch of peanuts and no colorful veggies the sweet and sour chicken was hard to chew. The chicken lo mein was salty definitely not worth the price. Service was fast and friendly. read more

Solid food as always. Wonderful service and great environment for a family meal. Always a go-to when I'm in town.

My favorite Chinese place on SLC. Starts with awesome pot stickers and goes up from there.

Best family style Chinese food in Utah. You have to try the pot stickers/wontons. Sauces are really flavorful ingredients are fresh. You might actually have to call for reservations it gets busy! read more

We decided to try David's Kitchen after so many recommendations from friends, and the food did not disappoint. The potstickers were as good as we were told, and the Sweet and Sour Chicken and Cashew Chicken were delectable, although there wasn't very much chicken in the Cashew Chicken dish. The service wasn't too great, and we had to sit for nearly 15 minutes with empty plates to get our check, and never got refills on our drinks. read more

Food is always consistently amazing! We drive down from Heber for it! Best in Salt Lake for sure!!

I was in town for work and when my associates drove up to David's I was like, what the heck.... Those pot stickers will haunt me for the rest of my life! Not sure what is so different about them but they were the best I have ever had. The hot and sour soup was distinctively different from any I have had and incredible. Everything was great (we shared several dishes) but those pot stickers!! read more

We love David's kitchen! It's our yearly Christmas/New years tradition. My daughter is learning chinese and they are always willing to talk with her while we pick up our order or if we stay to eat.

David's Kitchen - a little girl reaching for a plate of food - Chinese Near Me - Salt Lake City, Utah

Our to go place is New Golden Dragon, which never disappoints, but we wanted to try a new place for a change after hearing about David's Kitchen. What a disappointment! We ordered four dishes, which usually have distinct flavors, such as Kung Pao chicken or shrimp foo young, for example, but they all had the same flavor...as if the same sauce had been used for all. On top of that the flavors were bland, and the dishes consisted of mostly fillers- bamboo shoots, onions, etc, with very little meat. Will definitely not go back again! read more

I have been on the prowl for good Chinese food since moving to Salt Lake. I am always very weary of Chinese places because the quality at some places gets really disgusting. I stick to Panda Express usually just because I know what to expect. We decided to try David's Kitchen on a whim. We were seated promptly upon arriving and ordered appetizers immediately. Service was awesome. Food came out quickly and piping hot. The food itself was alright. The potstickers were delicious but the entree was average. Nothing to write home about. I think next time I'll stick with Panda. This place is kind of like a fancy Panda Express. I would recommend trying it out yourself and see what you think. read more
