    Orange Chicken Bowl
    Faith M.

    Not like pandora expresses sweet orange flavor but it's definitely fresh, polite and quick staff

    Finally tried Kento's! We got the hot garlic beef and chicken combo with rice & vegetables and the Teriyaki chicken, beef & shrimp super combo with noodles.

    had a really good experience. I ordered the sweet and sour chicken, teriyaki chicken, and beef, and everything was delicious. The flavors were well-balanced, and I appreciated that the food wasn't greasy at all. The sweet and sour chicken had a nice blend of tangy and sweet, while the teriyaki chicken and beef were tender and flavorful. The portions were just right, and the meal was satisfying without being heavy. The staff were friendly and provided good service, making the visit enjoyable. I'll definitely be back to try more of their menu. Kento's is a solid choice if you're in the mood for some tasty teriyaki

    One of my favorite places in Bakersfield! I've been a customer here for many years. The owners are always so friendly and happy to serve their customers. The food is always made fresh and is so delicious.

    It's on 4th and Union But don't let that scare you off…read moreThe staff was wonderful My tea was never empty The dining room is clean & comfortable The food is still amazing. Nothing was oily (way better than fast food Chinese) I went for a lunch with my sister Everything was tasty! Lots of variety of flavors. Can't wait to return for the dinner menu.

    We have been going to Great Castle for over 40 years. It's been our favorite!…read more This is our 3rd visit since they changed ownership and we were really disappointed in the food. The pan fried dumplings were fine, although the filling was reddish colored with little spice. Added the dumpling sauce, reluctantly, because the containers did not look recently cleaned. My most favorite dish, House Special Shrimp, was way off. It looked and tasted like Sweet and Sour Shrimp. The vinegar taste was strong, overwhelming any taste but sweetness. It used to have a savory brown glaze, garlic and mild spiciness. This dish did not. We also had garlic chicken, which was probably the best dish we ordered. Our plate had a few pieces of thinly sliced chicken, but the majority of chicken we were served were 'bits.' Hard to tell the minced garlic from the chicken bits. The fresh onion and bell peppers were great, but cut too big and overwhelmed the chicken bits. Prices at restaurants have gone up, up, up! Now we're being charged for tea & white rice that had been included in every meal for the last 40+ years?!?! Last but not least!, the floors are dirty and there's dust everywhere. place is dusty & dirty. I don't recall it ever being this dirty. I was looking forward to the House Special Shrimp and a delicious Chinese meal. I was very disappointed

    It saddens Me to write this review. I've enjoyed China Garden for years, via delivery, but this…read morelast visit was very disappointing. This time the son and I decided to dine in and the food was borderline spoiled, nothing tasted fresh and it wasn't hot, nor warm. Our food was borderline cold. The interior was dusty and in need of attention, especially the fake plants. Though spacious when we entered there wasn't a soul in the place, which was a red flag, but per usuh we brought people. I'm not sure if our food was so nasty because we ordered a lunch special and they reserve what's going bad for those orders because the other four families dining in didn't seem to be having the same experience. What saved this review from being a 1 star review and the only reason I didn't complain to the waitress about the quality of the food is because the only server was elderly and unable to pick up her feet and my very gracious son said to lig, so I did, but it appears if the couple who runs the restaurant doesn't get some help soon they may need to close their doors.

I'm not posting pictures because I eat the same thing every time I come here. I always get an egg foo young. Everything is always consistent. The waitress always remembers what your order is.

    Heard about this place on IG... So I thought I would give it a try. I was super excited to go in…read moreand try since the review on IG sounded like the food was amazing. The place is like your standard Chinese takeout restaurant, where you have premade dishes, ready to be served with white rice, fried rice, or chow mein noodles. The menu has standard items such as orange chicken, general, chicken, chicken, teriyaki, honey, walnut, shrimp, honey, chicken, mushroom chicken, and so. They also offer egg rolls, cream, cheese, wontons, and soup. What stands out about this place is that they offer a catering menu, unlike some of the other homegrown Chinese takeout places. The restaurant itself is very clean although had a strong smell of Fabuloso and the tables in the floors were a bit sticky. They have one singular bathroom and it was clean. The person who took my order was very nice, friendly, and professional. She was very eager to give me a taste of the entrées in case I wasn't sure what I wanted to eat and I thought that was very cool. I purchased a bowl with half fried rice and half chow mein, and one entrée. For my entrée chose the honey shrimp. my meal came with a fountain drink so that was good. The entrée is $9.99 however, because I got the shrimp, it was a little bit extra. I wish I had gone when the IG people were there doing their reel... Because my food didn't taste anything like how they described it. The honey shrimp was very tasty and the shrimp was cooked perfectly however, every now and then I would get a huge puffy piece. I was not impressed with the fried rice nor the chow mein. I was expecting it to have a wok-seared flavor, like how it was described by the couple doing the reel on IG. For me, it was very plain, in fact, at one point, I thought the chow mein noodles were spaghetti noodles. While the meal satisfied my hunger, since it was dinner time, I likely will not be going back... Sorry, peeps I still have not found good Chinese food in Bakersfield. I hope you have a different experience, and if you do, enjoy!

With a touch of MSG and some probably costco bought wontons, I slowly returned to my original form. Now flip the narrative. One day after work I'm kinda sad... being an LA boy I missed my asian cuisine. Mom was out at MahJong and dad was idk planting flowers or something (he's retired now so I guess he picked up Botany). Out comes the beef chow fun. Quite frankly it itched my chinese tickle. You know its good when it's named "fun." That's "noodles" in Mandarin for my non-Mandarin friends. 5 out of 5. This ain't the country side of BeiJing but it'll do.
