Food : having been to Taiwan and practically ate around the entire Taipei and Taroko area ... the entrees ... though pricy were outstanding. We ordered braised pork belly with rice and cucumber salad. Amazing & authentic & HOT!!! Service : fantastic- food arrived for delivery so quickly and was still hot Ambiance : who knows? Food was delivered read more

This is a "to-go only" cafeteria-style restaurant catering to neighborhood Chinese community: working parents who do not have time to cook. They want simple and reasonably priced dinners. For that purpose, it is quite reasonable. Mostly home-cook styled dishes mixed with baos and dumplings to fulfill the stomaches. You will quickly forget them and move on with your lives. If you are not in the mood of cooking and in the neighborhood, sure. Order few dishes home. You will be satisfied. read more

Food delivery review! Can't say too much about the ambiance since I've only ever ordered delivery via UberEats but I've ordered probably over 10+ now so I can pretty much vouch that my order of preserved egg and pork porridge is always made consistently. My food is always packed with care and it always leaves me satisfied. I've ordered a few different things here but I think my favorite thing that is never just mediocre is their preserved egg and pork porridge. It's not too runny and it's not too thick. Definitely my go-to spot in the area for this. Would recommend! read more

Came here for takeout after the gym. (They are located around the corner from UFC). I ordered spicy chicken and spicy fried fish fillet. Flavors were spot on! The fish was very fresh and the batter had a nice crunch without being too doughy. I was a bit disappointed that the chicken was cut up chicken wings so there were bone fragments sometimes. However it was nice and crunchy and great flavors! Definitely a solid place for spicy Chinese food. It must be good since all the patrons were Chinese :) will definitely explore other items in the menu . read more

Ding's Kitchen - Spicy chicken and S6. Spicy Fish Fillet. Both delicious! - Taiwanese Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

Ordered 5 items from Ding's Kitchen via a food delivery app. First time ordering from this restaurant, won't order again. "Stir fried Chinese cabbage" was literally swimming in excess oil (see pic). The "House special Chinese beef pie" was also soaking in oil. Pork congee was flavorless. The "sweet soy bean milk" and "braised beef and potatoes " were adequate. Ended throwing the cabbage dish away. Again, won't order from here again. read more

I tried Ding's Kitchen for the first time, ordering pancake beef roll and shredded pork liver, and it was delicious! The delivery was fast, and my order was spot-on. Thank you read more

We always have been a big fan of the beef pancake until yesterday's take out. We ordered a beef pancake but it was pork pancake got delivered for some reason. We also ordered a fried cabbage for the first time - worst fried cabbage I've ever had from Sichuan restaurant. I couldn't believe how they f**k it up so badly. It tasted raw and unflavored, also extremely spicy at the same time. We had few bites before we threw it away. In that night, my entire family was feeling some stomach discomfort and nauseous. We believe we were mildly food poisoned. Will never order from this restaurant again. read more

Their food is solid - nothing that will make you go wow, but the flavors are decent, the ingredients are fresh, and the portions are generous. Their online website menu is different from the one on Doordash, so we ordered directly to get these Northern Chinese dishes (and they were doing an 8% off $35 promo on their website): - P1 东北一锅出 One Pot Dish (Dongbei Yi Guo Chu) - pork spare ribs, potatoes, and corn in a soy sauce based broth with pancakes for dipping. Wasn't great, but was good enough to satisfy my SO's cravings for his hometown dish. The one huge miss out of all the food we got were the pancakes that we got on the side - they were strangely bitter and sour, which is not what they're supposed to taste like - P17 锅包肉 Double Cook Pork Slices (Guo Bao Rou) - not as good as authentic, but still a really good dish for anyone who likes sweet fried pork. Much bigger portion than other Guo bao rou dishes we've ordered - P2 香干肉丝 Shredded Pork W/ dried Tofu - really good flavor, all of the ingredients (celery, dried. beancurd, pork) were good quality read more

The pork and vegetables dumpling is a real winner. Thin skin, lot of meat and filling. Scrumptious

Better than the reviews would indicate, but nothing here is amazing-amazing, but on the other hand, nothing is below average either. Beef and Broccoli Standard broccoli mini trees, so-so beefy slices hardly eye-opening. Shrimp Fried Rice (Yang Chow) Large full tray portions - shrimp was succulent and the dish is great for leftovers. Cucumber salad Nicely salted, cut to bite sized pieces, crunchy. Pretty simple though - could have featured more spice or spices. Tofu and preserved egg For a starter, and abundant amount of black egg, and fresh tasting, if that makes sense for preserved eggs. Tofu is soft and cubed. Kung Pao Chicken Really well done with plenty of sharp peppers and crunchy peanuts. Stir-Fried Fish Filet Another very acceptable dish. Fish slices are think and meaty. I'm also going to mention my experience with the steamed rice. Part of it was dry to the bone with undercooked grains. The next day, it took a couple microwave-steaming tricks to revitalize the rice, but it still tasted stale and old. read more

Hopped on the bogo deal on Ubereats. I'm all for good deals but I was already hesitant based on the reviews. So I ordered 2 beef chow fun, great deal 2 for $14 however the food itself... not so much. I mean it's not bad at all but the piece of plastic I found did it for me. I know it wasn't on purpose or anything but I cannot leave this comment out. Would I order again? Yes but it wouldn't be my first choice. I fully support small business in every way. Giving this place more than 3 stars is me ignoring all the yelp quality criteria that people look for. read more

I love dumplings, and was excited to check them out at Ding's. They have a large menu available in addition to cooked food in steam trays, which you can order for dining in or taking to go. There wasn't much of a selection remaining for their steam trays around 7:30pm on a Thursday night. I ordered from their menu, and tried: -T2: Pork, Chives, Shrimp Dumplings (12pcs/$11.99, https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=ZFdXugiD8fVNeTZDSLcqEw&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg): Just ok- The skin was a little too thick and the filling didn't have much flavor. I wouldn't order these again. -T5: Pancake Beef Roll ($7.99, https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=OfmpBK9ta4DKlFGedXh1Nw&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg): Pretty good, and the favorite out of the dishes. The pancake was done well, but the beef was dry and this needed more hoisin sauce. -P17: Braised Eggplant & Pork ($13.99, https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=RK3sTihcSe10LU0IeRODtQ&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg): This dish was not at all what I expected. They peel off the eggplant skin and then deep fry it in a batter, and the sauce was really sweet. I didn't like the flavors in this dish- skip! I would come back earlier in the day to try the food from their steam trays when there is more selection. Prices are reasonable for the portions, but I probably wouldn't order from their menu again. There is usually parking available in this complex, but it can get crowded; however, there are usually a lot of cars coming and going. read more

If you don't speak/look Chinese, don't come here. You wont be served. You can wait 15+ mins and won't make a difference.

Wow I hate leaving bad reviews, esp during the pandemic but I feel like I need to warn others. I ordered 3 dishes via doordash (see pic). The min I opened the food I knew something was off. There was this pungent smell - slightly sour and really 腥气 - I don't know how to say that in English but essentially like meat that's gone bad. Both the sweet and sour spare ribs (which did not have any sweet and sour flavor) and shredded pork with bean curd smelled like that. My partner ate some and confirmed. It was a really horrible nauseating smell. I even tried to rinse the ribs and recook it myself but it still tasted/smelled bad. We ended up throwing everything away and getting a refund from DD. I understand that things are hard during the pandemic but this was so gross and unacceptable. Def not coming back. read more

Ding's Kitchen - three containers of food on a table - Taiwanese Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

The dumplings and the beef pancakes are my favorite. My first go to place when I am just lazy and don't want to cook!

Taste is so bad and food quality is horrible. Don't go. And the owner is rude. The atmosphere is not comfortable

Not terrible! Looks authentic and didn't have a lot of foot traffic when we went for dinner. This Mapo Tofu dish was SO SPICY and in a good way. I think I ate pepper but my mouth was numb walking out of this restaurant read more

We've been here many times for take out, and their foods always exceeded our expectations. We especially like their: Beef & Onion pancake, Beef & Daikon(white carrots) steamed buns! Priced very competitively for an enormous portion of buns and pancakes. Leek & Eggs Pancakes are so juicy and flavorful. Will definitely go back for more of their delicious foods ! read more

People seem to like this very casual take out and sit down restaurant spot. The cuisine is very casual and more akin to home fare with prices that reflect that. Tried several dishes and nothing was particularly memorable. The Lu Rou Fan featured beef that was too hard and overcooked while the duck noodle soup was really bland. The beef tripe combo was probably the best item. Ding's Kitchen is mainly cash only. read more

The husband found this place that opened around the corner for our place and I have been hooked since eating here. We have tried many dishes here none of them has disappoint so far. Try to come in a bigger group so you can try multiple items. You can come here and get the lunch special and try out different things. We like to come for dinner because its a little far drive from work to come here to eat. My favorite dish here has to be the spicy fish filet.... very tasty, spicy, and has a nice crunch. Just thinking about now is making drool and I crave this dish ever so often. The pork with dried tofu is also another one of our favorites. Strips of pork, dried tofu, and celery stir fried in a brown sauce. They offer this dish during lunch too. So if you come for dinner and you see it on the hot table, tell them you want fresh ones, because it will taste much better than the one that has been sitting there for who knows how long. If you like lotus roots, you have to try the lotus root in hotpot. My cousin loved that and that was one of the first dish we finished during that visit. We also had the green beans, other veggies dishes an other meat dishes. They were all good but the ones listed above were what I remember and stood out to me. I am still waiting to go there with a bigger group to try other items on the menu... but ordering the spicy fish filet is a must for me. If you are looking for some yummy and spicy (Szechuan) Chinese food, look not further and give this place a try! read more

Decent customer service and mediocre food. During my recent trip to Ding's Kitchen, I ordered Chili-Fried Chicken Cubes ($12.95), Dry Fried Green Beans ($10.95), and a side of Steamed White Rice ($1.50). The chicken dish was essentially unseasoned chicken wings that were chopped in half and placed in a to-go box with a ton of dried chilies. Having ordered similar dishes (chicken and chilies) when I visited Chengdu, China, I had expected something more than what I was given -- I blame myself for not looking at the Yelp photos before I ordered this item. The green beans, while delicious, were way overpriced. It's not often you see a vegetable side dish cost $10.95, but again, it was delicious... As for the white rice, I was given a tiny box of rice for $1.50. The customer service, while slow, was okay. I visited on a slow night, so I didn't have to deal with the dinner rush. Since the woman who works at the front counter doesn't speak much English, you can just point to what you want on the menu, and she'll be able to put your order together. I'll probably stop by again and order something else in the near future. From what I saw during my visit, most people were ordering hot pot, which is what I'll try next time. read more

This is a very casual spot where you can get prepared food to go or seat yourself to order food. Most of the tables are large, shared tables like the ones in a food court, but there are a few booths. My friend and I came on a Wednesday at noon, and we had to walk up to someone to get a menu and let them know that we planned to dine in. The menu has many options at affordable prices, and for a party of two, we spent about $30 total. We ordered the spicy boiled fish and cubed fried chicken, and our food was ready in about 15 minutes. Spicy Boiled Fish (4/5): Large portion and delicious fish! This dish might look intimidating since it was covered in chili oil and red pepper flakes, but it wasn't that spicy and also didn't leave that numbing taste since there weren't many peppercorns. Cubed Fried Chicken (3/5): The fried chicken was good, but we didn't like how the pieces were prepared since it was difficult to eat. Instead of cubed, boneless chicken (which is how most restaurants seem to prepare this dish), they served chicken wings cut in a half. It was difficult to eat since each individual piece was mostly bone and also had some sharp edges. We wouldn't preferred the wings just left as a whole. Overall, food was good but don't expect great service since this is a more casual spot where your only interaction is ordering food. I'm not sure what it's like during dinner, but you might have to go up to someone to ask for a menu, and the tea is also self-serve (in the back of the restaurant). I will be coming back again though! read more

Ding's Kitchen - Empty plate. Yum yum :) - Taiwanese Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

I came here for dinner with some friends on a Thursday evening. We were 4 hungry dudes so we ordered several dishes to try. With all the savory dishes you have to of course order a bowl of rice ($1.50/bowl). We ordered: [1] Fried green beans - This was very good and it's always nice to have some vegetables when eating Chinese food. [2] Beef chow fun - I didn't particular enjoy this dish. It was very oily and lacked what people call the "wok" taste. [3] Cubed fried chicken - My least favorite, it was kind of hard to eat because they cut a chicken wing in half horizontally and deep fry it. It's more work to eat around the bones and the lack of meat didn't make it feel worth it. My ex-friend ordered this so there goes my trust with him. [4] Shrimp, pork and chives dumpling - This was really good. Nicely filled dumplings and you can't really go wrong with this. [5] Spicy fish fillet - AMAZING and highly recommended. The seasoning is on point and it's not super spicy. SERVICE: Could be better, but it's not the worst. We still got our food and we weren't sure if the tea we were suppose to serve ourselves or they give to it. The tea pots are placed near the entrance. Overall I think this place is decent. Although I think the restaurant would function better as a to-go place as oppose to a sit down. The layout of the restaurant looks like it's design more for take out. However, I would definitely come back to get the fish fillet and dumplings any day! read more

Ding's Kitchen - Sweet sour chicken - Taiwanese Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

Decent. That's all I can say. Not overly priced nor was the food a wow factor, but it was just decent for the amount of food you get. Came here celebrating CNY with a couple of friends to dine at a restaurant but that wasn't a super packed place. Ding's restaurant worked out for all of us since it was conveniently open with no reservations and not as busy. We ordered numerous dishes but didn't have too many proud favorites. The most we enjoyed were the dumplings and beef pancake rolls. Which were entirely good. Due to the service, our food did take awhile but we were fine since most of the food came out one at a time. Despite its interior look, we liked the fast casual spot and the people serving us were extremely nice. Nonetheless, not bad for sharing a bunch of food with great company. Worth it? Maybe. If I was in the area and wanted some good Northern Chinese food that was easy on the wallet. read more

Ding's Kitchen - Worst ever - Taiwanese Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

Ordering some catered lunch via waiter.com, fried small stem buns & beef pancake roll. Was pretty disappointed it because the foods were barely edible. Deep fried small stem buns were somewhat greasy and simply nothing special. I was expecting some condensed milk dipped in sauce on the side, but it came with some weird jam. And, beef pancake roll, it was super bland and tasteless, barely edible. This is definitely missing some flavors or for people who have no taste buds to eat. Pretty bad experience ordering take-out for lunch today! Never going to order them again, bye! read more

Ordered several take-outs at this place. Food are good and they are at good price. We almost order foods every week.

Actually 3.5/5 stars. would actually come back here again for to-go orders. Like most reviews said, this place is cheap and can feed lard buckets like me for less than $20/person. Best if you know how to order or ask your Chinese buddy. chili with pork intestine $12.99 - huge portion, definitely crazy amount of chili pepper and crazy amount of intestine. bit too oily but it was tender and and had a lot of the "flavor", the chili was hot enough to make it enjoyable. shredded potatoes with vinegar $9 - good flavor and huge fricking portions. definitely for 3-4 people. Now you know why it is nine dollar. braised pork - meh, pork definitely had no flavor with the sauce, kinda just pork bellies with the sauce pour on top of it. Still need to come back to try out the fish dishes and other appetizer, but this place is definitely on my next to-go list. read more

This use to be my go-to for fast pickup lunch, but over the years the customer service has gone down quite a bit. The workers are rude and slow, food runs out by 12:10. They first told me more food was coming so I waited for 20mins and then they said oh I told you this was the last dish, when clearly he did not say that. Not coming back again.. read more

Quick Summary: Lots of food, inexpensive, so the food quality is mediocre. I was there for lunch. The meal included rice or chow mein, choice of one of two soups, and a choice of three dishes from many selections of chicken, fish, and vegetables. The food quantity was huge. The price, as of January 2019, was only $10. So the quality of the food was mediocre. One example of the mediocre food quality is the hot and sour soup. Ding's hot and sour soup was the worst I have ever tasted in my life. At most Chinese restaurants, I love hot and sour soup. I do not plan on returning. But for those who eat a lot of food at a modest price, and do not care about the food quality, Ding's Restaurant is a good choice, just not my preference. Employees are friendly. Décor was plain and unimpressive. Parking in the strip mall is plentiful and free. There is no outdoor restaurant seating. read more

Asked the restaurant about and they told me I can have 1/3 of the dish price as refund?? How ridiculous is that?? They then told me to return the dish back to restaurant for a full refund. I have no idea what they're thinking at this point, telling customer to go out and return the dish is ridiculous and irresponsible. read more
