Ambiance - clean neat. I got take out Service - my order was waiting for me when I arrived. Food - I started out with the fried dumplings appetizer. I could make a meal of these. They are sooo good. I especially liked the dipping sauce. Just the right amount of bitterness. You have to try them. Next I had the roast pork chow mein. It was ok. Nothing special. I tried it on a whim since I had not had it in 10 years. The part that disappointed me the most was the fried noodles. They tasted stale. Nothing like they should taste. I probably will not be getting that dish again. read more

See all

Great food. I had Hunan shrimp and shrimp and vegetable soup it was amazing My son had the sesame chicken and was raving about how delicious it was read more

We order from here regularly and are always very happy with our order. The food is always fresh and delicious.

We placed an order tonight here. I ordered one dish but got a completely different thing. We have ordered twice from James Kitchen and it is what I call "fast Chinese food" even though it isn't fast. It just the routine Chinese food that is in every town/city. The first time was just ok. Don't thing we will try it again. read more

Extremely over priced, ordered a large sweet and sour chicken with large beef fried rice and 1 eggroll and it came to $28 bucks I feel this place has potential but wouldn't return for awhile until reviews improve read more

Service was good. Best Chinese in the area. There isn't much seating and I wouldn't plan on eating inside but if your going to just order it to go it's fabulous! They were quick and efficient and it is a little pricey but not too bad. Feeds a good amount of people! read more

Chicken was chewy like sponge with heavy salty gelatinous sauce! chicken on stick burnt to hell and heavily seasoned with sauce so salty it's inedible not to mention questionably fresh, egg roll .... Mushy no taste, no seasoning no nothing the filling all tasted same I've had better out of my freezer! Wasted money! How is this aweful place still open why !!!! Gross! read more

James Kitchen - a grilled meat on a stick - Chinese Near Me - Gulf Breeze, Florida

This review is based off my order of take-out General Tso chicken that I ordered. Time from placing my order until it was handed to me was about 10-15 minutes. If you order the meal, it comes with a spring roll. The meal itself was piping hot upon getting home. Well the chicken was. I swapped the rice out for noodles. They were bland, lack vegetables, and seemed a bit on the luke warm side. There were three pieces of under cook broccoli on top. The chicken was hot, had a little flavor but left an after taste. The meal came with a spring roll that also didn't have any flavor to it. Sadly enough I didn't get a fortune cookie placed in my bag. The meal cost $10. Customer service was quick but it makes me wonder if every dish lacks that taste you expect because there wasn't anyone else in the place and the owners were sitting in the dining area eating when I walk in. I think the phone might have ringed one time. I don't think I would recommend this restaurant but like I first said, this review is based off one order. I will try a different dish, no time soon though. read more

Terrible. The chicken fried rice was inedible. It's that gross yellow rice and the chicken was rubbery and disgusting. The chicken wings were overcooked. The egg drop soup was just ok. I will not be ordering from here again. read more

James Kitchen - a takeout box of rice and vegetables - Chinese Near Me - Gulf Breeze, Florida

Best Chinese food in the area. Always clean and food never disappoints. Thanks. Too bad Covid is here. I would love to eat here inside instead of take away. read more

Worst Chinese food I've ever had, didn't think it was possible to mess it up like they did. Soggy, mushy, and absolutely no flavor.

First time visit for this local. Set up like a bank during COVID - easy order online and ready sooner than stated. I had the Dragon and Phoenix to go. Do t forget to get the mustard sauce read more

James Kitchen - Dragon & Phoenix - Chinese Near Me - Gulf Breeze, Florida

The food is tasteless & absolutely awful since it was sold. For years, we got consistently good food here but not anymore. Do not recommend.​ read more

Usually pretty good; fair price. Quick prep and pick ups. Taste as expected. Friendly as expected. Inside like every other Chinese pick-up joint; you guessed it-as expected. read more

Thank God I didn't order. I walked in through the front door which had all the appeal of a prison. Cold and gray. Ugly. Behind the counter was a woman who looked at me in a way that made me fear for my life. I looked up at the filthy menu in the wall, back at her, and decided this is not a good sign. I told I suddenly didn't feel like Chinese food snd I escaped before I was skewered! Never in my life have i ever felt like that anywhere! Enter if you dare! read more

We started getting takeout from James about a year or so ago. We get take out a few times a month, and we discovered James and it was so much better than our regular restaurant. It was a farther drive and a bit more expensive but worth it. But that last two or three meals we have had has been rather bland, tasteless and not at all spicy. Don't know what has changed but please get your ship righted or we will be going back to our old favorite. read more

I went in there yesterday ,1/22/24 In ordered lunch and apparently I left $20 that I had of my wallet on the counter or I dropped it and I called to ask if anybody had turned in $20 or $20 and that it was mine... No one seem to know... so I went by there when I got off from work and asked the girl who waited on me and someone was translating for her and she said she saw someone take it... Which is highly unlikely because after I got my food, I sat down in there for at least 30 minutes and ate... She came out and asked me was everything OK and I told her it was I was just eating and then she walked away so I left it or I dropped it there. She didn't say anything while I was there so somebody got my money and I know I had it in there because I knew I was gonna have $20 left after lunch. read more

BEST takeout around. Prices reasonable. QUALITY ingredients. Very CLEAN. Truly FAMILY run. Quirky checkout since Covid, but that is appreciated by me! I like finding people working to stop the spread of this pandemic, particularly in this area, where so many have not done so! Thank you, James Kitchen! read more

best oriental food in the Greater Pensacola area. tried many but this is the best. easy online ordering and it was ready when I arrived. They have a few tables but I am always picking up dinner on way home from work read more

I was already half way through the order when I started to review! Absolutely delicious! Thank you for the incredible lunch!

I order online and go pick up the food is so good. Real Chinese food. I've ordered twice now and will order again this weekend

Very Very Good Food. And great pricing. When I tasted the rice before tasting the meal I knew it was all going to be good. Because the rice was not cheap quality We ordered 3 meals and they were ALL great. Lots of meat, shrimp and vegetables. We will definitely be returning again. read more

No thanks, not my bag. Too cheap and it felt unclean. Was sick most of the day after eating there so not looking to go back. Sorry to any regulars, but this was not worth a revisit IMO. read more

If there was a choice of ZERO stars it'd be my choice! Absolute worst customer service! The last three years James Kitchen has been one of our worst take out experiences. The location is convenient to our home so we have sacrificed the horrible service until tonight. I will never order again and be disrespected and treated as though I am a bother! Horrible, miserable customer service!!! read more

Overpriced and yuck! First time I've experienced fried dumplings I didn't like. It's like they were soaked in soy sauce then fried. All the meat in each dish had a rubbery texture. Waste of $80 read more

I've had better. It wasn't very good. $65 bucks! That's a sit down restaurant with tip at some places. Are you kidding me? The woman behind the glass was arrogant and rude as well. Read all of the negative comments. They aren't lying. I won't go back to this place. read more

James runs a great operation here at Tiger Point for quick Chinese food. Clean place and prompt service.

James' Kitchen has been our go-to takeout Chinese place for years. Their food is as good as ever, and their anti-Covid precautions strike me as first-rate. Any one order/dish (e.g. moo shoo pork) is plenty to feed two; and their hot and sour soup is virtually a meal in itself. Service can be brusque, but you're probably not eating there anyway. read more

Not even a one star rating. We have lived all over the country, maybe that's why our standards are so high for ethnic food. Regardless, the food was not good, even when compared to the small Chinese joint in the rural town I grew up in. The lady at the front counter is not friendly at all and literally threw the bag on the counter and said "here!" Then she walked away. The four customers, myself included, had to figure out who the order belonged to. The portions are tiny and there is hardly any meat in the meat dishes. Very disappointed. Will be going elsewhere, like the place around the corner, Mandarin Moon, from now on! read more

I like this place. It is rather small with limited seating but lunch specials were good; fresh veggies, flavorful sauce with a spring roll and crispy rice chips, enough meat. The only complaint was it was served in a small bowl with plastic utensils. Next time I'll ask for a plate. This is located in a side mall in a Walmart parking lot. What they do they do well. Closed on mondays read more

Great combos and soups. Easy pickup on the way home. Love general so's chicken. Large portions

Went here for the first time and it was very good. Food was ready fast. We really liked the lemon chicken and fried rice.

Best Chinese in gulf breeze/Navarre area!! It's always hot and freshly made. Their prices are good also!!! I've been all over the US and this isn't bad Chinese at all! read more

I really love this take out! The General Tso Tofu is amazing! The sauce is not to spicy and not to sweet. Today I tried their vegetables Rice noodles (not on the menu) and it was great. I'm pregnant and needed something flavorful but not to crazy and they made it perfect for me. I go here almost every week for lunch. Definitely recommend read more

I have their number in my phone as simply favorite taki outie! I love this place. It's my favorite place to get food when coming back from out of town, knowing there is nothing in my fridge. My favorite dish is the shrimp curry. I order it without onion, and add broccoli. A must try is the hot and sour soup, best ever! read more

We've been ordering from this restaurant since it was a Panda Express (that's many years). We've always enjoyed the food. Lately, they've been changing frozen food suppliers. Their egg rolls used to be really good, but the new ones are bland and mushy in the middle. Today we learned that their pot stickers are different, too. Used to be one of my favorites. Now they are aweful. They use okay quality vegetables and beef in their Mongolian BBQ and Szechuan beef, and their pork fried rice is good too. The sesame chicken and sweet and sour chicken to me isnt that good, but my wife likes it. These are also frozen food from a box, and the next day when you're eating the leftovers, they're as tough as leather. Not much is made fresh in this restaurant. My guess is that it's all frozen food. I would try to say something to them about the declining quality, but the wife who works the front end is not friendly at all. I could imagine her tossing me out of the restaurant instead of being receptive to my constructive criticism. read more

I was so hoping this would be Chinese food like I am accustomed to from the Northeast, but no such luck. I ordered a variety to get a good idea. The pupu platter was disappointing, the Teryaki was tough and underdone, what is up w chicken wings in the south that are sold at Chinese restaurants? They are no more than fried chicken, that is NOT a Chinese chicken wing! A Chinese chicken wing is marinated in soy, garlic, ginger, etc, then fried till crispy and served w fresh lemon wedges. The spare ribs, fatty and underdone. There was something I could not decipher that I was told was French Toast, What????? Didn't like it. What I thought was Crab Rangoon was not and when I pulled it apart it was filled w a thick, brick redish colored substance, ilk. The eggrolls were not palette pleasing. There were 2 shrimp that I cannot comment on because neither of us like shrimp. The General Tso's Chicken, tough. Fried rice here is yellow! Not what we are used to in the Northeast. Hint, the fried rice is brown from soy sauce that is part of the frying process. The only thing that was good was the Egg Foo Yung. Back to the hunt for decent Chinese food in the Navarre area. The only thing I have found decent is all the way in Pensacola, Kings Buffet. read more

I recently called to place an order. Before placing said order, I asked if they served a specific dish that I did not see on the menu. The attitude I received in response was extremely inappropriate. I placed the rest of my order and asked for a moment to look back over my menu to make sure I had everything. The young lady on the phone sighed rudely and began muttering complaints under her breath, like I couldn't hear what she was saying through the phone. I just hung up the phone. It baffles the mind that someone in the services industry would act like this when dealing with their customers. It's unacceptable! read more

I ordered spicy chicken lo mein and it was great. Wonderful price at around 8 dollars and huuuuuuge portion. I also ordered roast pork soup(6 dollars) which was ok but could have used more broth and less noodles. This place is good the clerk was nice! I recommend chicken lo mein at this place. read more
