We were staying in the area and wanted to pick up some food for lunch and once we came across…read moreKaty's Dumplings we knew we had to give them a try. There is a ton on the menu which made ordering very difficult but eventually we were able to lock in about 5 items. We went with: Cheng Du Dumplings Beef w. Scallion Dumplings Beef Fried Noodle Szechuan Cold Noodle Sesame Chicken I will say our favorites where for sure both of the dumpling options. The Cheng Du Dumplings came cover is a tasty Szechuan Sauce and they were filled with pork. I was also really enjoyed the Beef w. Scallion Dumplings. You just can't find a lot of Beef Dumplings anymore so when I see them I order them. I also was a fan of the Beef Fried Noodle. I loved that the noodles were so fresh. I do wish though that there had been a little more beef in it though. The Sesame Chicken was also good but I wouldn't say it was in the top of ones I have had. If you're going to Katy's you gotta go with the dumplings of course but make sure to try a couple of the entrees as well but you gotta get a noodle dish for sure.

We have come here so often, that my mom and uncles seem to know our servers. They really take care of us. And then mom likes to give an extra tip to whomever is really hustling. Service has always been top notch - even without the extra tip. Typically, we are split between two tables. After we mix and mingle and say our hellos, everyone sits down for some serious business - picking out our dim sum dishes. We all have our favorites - dumplings, buns (siaopao) filled with meat or custard, egg rolls, noodles, etc. There is something for everyone. Well, not sure about gluten free stuff... The tables sit about 10 and there is a "Lazy Susan" (turntable thing) in the middle for easier distribution of food. We love it and even use it for the obligatory family video (just set your phone to record and slowly turn the Lazy Susan). lol Overall, we are happy customers and will keep bringing our big Filipino family back here!

It took about 20 mins for the fried rice to be served, waited another 10 mins for the beef mongolian to be served (it was cold), the dimsums were not served at all. It's been an hour almost. I followed up the dimsum with the server and he arrogantly replied to me that the kitchen is making them. I said "we waited long enough, we will just pay what we ate." He was pissed and so arrogant. We are disappointed with the service. No good customer service. People come back not just for food but also for good service.

We have yet to dine in but we've ordered take-out several times and on different days of the week. Almost every time I stop by, there are several Chinese dining in. Secondly, they have two sets of menus, one consists of Americanized Chinese food such as almond ding, chop suey, and egg food young and the other consists of typical Cantonese options such as walnut shrimp, salt and spicy squid, beef stew casserole, and clams in black bean sauce. We usually stick with the Cantonese menu and have tried a variety. The only item that we are indifferent to is the pork chop Peking style. Otherwise we have enjoyed everything else and there are several items that we would reorder. Chinese Kitchen is a physically unassuming, from its obscure location to its dated décor to its generic name. However, what it lacks in appearance is definitely made up for in its dishes.

This is my parents go to Chinese food spot so I practically grew up eating this. My favorites are the combination fried rice but I have been doing the yang zhou fried rice lately.

I swear I can eat that all by myself. Everything about it is so satisfying. If you want to start out with soup, definitely recommend their seaweed soup. It's very hearty and satisfying.

It has definitely seen better days: still open but very empty (of customers, of vendors, of products).

There are a variety of dishes to choose from 4 different vendors on the first floor. I enjoy coming here every so often to treat myself and my family to authentic dishes that are hard to find elsewhere, particularly stinky tofu, ba wan (Taiwanese meatball), oyster omelet, and pig blood soup. It is a food court. You are expected to return the tray and empty dishes back to designated areas. Although not required, I've never seen anyone do otherwise. The bathrooms are small and could use additional lighting in my opinion. Parking, you asked? Yes, there is a large parking lot. It is easily accessed from Route 83 (Kingery Hwy) or Ogden Avenue. On this particular visit, 988 Oriental Food House was closed. Reopening date is May 30, 2023.

Oriental Taste has been a longtime local favorite for takeout. A lame atmosphere. This is why many who want to get it to go come here but the food is actually okay to be honest. Found out about it while looking for Chinese food. It's one of those places that looks how you expect it. There's a counter and one table covered in supplies. A great thing is there's also the authentic menu. This is of course the better stuff. It's about $12 for an entree. We got the Tofu With Straw Mushroom. A lot of mushrooms in it. There was also a hot spice. Great whenever wanting fast Chinese food. It's closed Mondays. The authentic and regular menus have a few options for vegetarians.

Come think of it, I don't know any other place has them. Ba wan is the one of the most common street foods in Taiwan. It is made with rice or potato starch dough and usually filled with pork, mushrooms, and bamboo shoots, kept warm in oil, and served with dipping sauce. I love the chewiness of the dough. Let me tell you, they don't skim on the filling. It was absolute perfection and brought back some fond childhood memories. I also ordered Chinese eggplant in garlic sauce, stinky tofu, family style tofu and beef chow fun for my family on this visit. Everyone raved the deliciousness of the dishes. Oriental Food House also serves authentic Chinese dishes. For a small stall in a food court, they are pretty legit. Give it a try. You'd be glad you did!

Located in the 'has-seen-better-days' International Mall, Chinese Cafe (along with its neighboring…read moreyu-ton dumplings) serves very flavorful, freshly wok prepared (albeit oily) Chinese food in a very casual, food court setting with inexpensive prices. It's a decent size food court, but many of the stalls were closed. Chinese Cafe was open, and became a bit busier after us. Most of the customers were non-Asian, but have read that the food court becomes quite busy with ethnic Chinese during the weekend. I was greeted in Cantonese, and even when I responded back in English, our conversation continued in that way. It ended up being fruitful, with an initial order of two lunch plates. I later came back to order a soup from the neighboring dumpling house, both being served by the same front of house. L13. Double cooked pork. L14. Mongolian Beef. ($9.25 each). Comes with choice of fried rice or white rice, egg roll, and can of soda (Coke Zero in our case). The high heat wok cooking really makes a big difference, with the smokiness in both the meats and vegetables that I really love. Can't get that at Panda Express. All the vegetables were sliced/diced with care: really loved the sliced onion in the mongolian beef, actually more than the beef itself. And the sliced pork loin was the perfect amount, with a really fragrant brown sauce that my wife enjoyed. Beef Noodle Soup ($11.95) - a good dish, with a large amount of springy noodles in a decent dark broth. It had plenty of large beef shank chunks, decently tender. It's a good rendition of beef noodle soup, especially at this price. You self bus (which is fine if only disposable items, but not so good when having to return soup bowls that stack up due to not being cleared). The food court definitely has symptoms of being not busy: not clean bathrooms and tables, and a general malaise of nobody really 'caring'. But we found the food to be good and of great value.
