    Did a take out order for full Roast duck: dry, no star anise aroma smell, use the general sweet and sour sauce for duck so there was no special duck sauce. House fried rice: hmm kinda bland and sticky, idk how to describe it. Just edible. Fried intestine: very chewy rubbery, not crispy by the time i got home. Service was fast and friendly but food taste was very off for me.

    For some of the best, if not the best Chinese food in all of Artesia that has the most delicious roast duck and egg noodle soup, come to Kim Tar Restaurant and you will be full & happy. We have been to Kim Tar for many years especially being that this restaurant has been in business for well over 30 years and has such consistency in flavor, that I have never had a bad tasting dish, never disappoints. The appetizer of 1/4 roast duck is delicious and juicy, so flavorful with the right amount of salt. The house wonton and egg noodle soup is a must especially since it is featured as the main photo on the menu. The egg noodles are chewy and fresh, the wontons have a meat filling that I could eat without any need for a sauce or condiment, and the broth with the garlicky flavor is what culminates this soup into a taste awakening, so good! The fish with its battered texture has a nice crunch and not too messy. The Mongolian beef is soft and my son loves it! The house fried rice is a great combination of all the meats. So go to Kim Tar either for dine in or to go and don't forget to order the duck which can be a meal on its own, definitely not just appetizer status, well worth every nostalgic bite!

    My go-to for a noodle fix. Roast duck with egg and rice noodle soup. Be sure to add some of their chili oil!

    Duck

    Their food is amazing. Even if you were to get leftovers, the food is amazing even when you reheat it. I would definitely come back here for some duck. We got the to go order for duck and pork belly and it was delicious. Would recommend. Pork belly was also fire.

    It's a hit or miss sometimes at this place. Once when I ordered the duck and the crispy pork, it was good then most recently I ordered salt and pepper, pork chops, and orange chicken and it was OK. Service was fine. There isn't much of an ambience there. It's a small restaurant.

    Fried Intestines
    Joyce F.

    Been coming here for years. This time, craved for fried intestines. Ordered to go. As always, crispy and tasty. Fast service and staff is friendly. Place is clean and ample parking.

    I try wanton noodles soup. It's very good.

    I did order combination roast pork and roast duck and something else. They come out too much salt on food. They are very salty we can't finish them. Seems like they been changed the way to cook. So disappointed

    Fried intestines, yummy

    Back to this place!!!!love everything in their menu..Service is good and fast! You can ask for more broth for the noodle soup.

    Roasted Duck Egg Noodle Soup
    Thidah U.

    Visited this spot recently with my mom. It's a Chinese mom-and-pop restaurant that truly hits home for me! The flavors are so authentic and comforting, and I keep finding myself craving their food. The fried intestines are perfectly crispy, and the roasted duck egg noodle soup is absolutely incredible. The duck is so flavorful--it's the kind of dish that lingers in your mind long after you've finished eating. If you're looking for a spot with amazing food that feels like home, this is it!

    BBQ Pork Fried Rice
    Brian Q.

    This place has been here for ages and is a nice quick to-go option with reasonable prices for the portions you get, but the food can be hit or miss: Char Siu - always tasty and a must have to-go Fried Pork Chops - meaty but not as crispy as I'd like it to be Singapore Noodles - a good portion and not really spicy at all, so anyone can enjoy, but very few and small shrimps are given BBQ Pork Fried Rice - also a nice sized portion but could maybe use more flavor Filet Mignon - Very flavorful with a few chewy pieces here and there

    By far the best Chinese restaurant in the city of Long Beach. I was told to come here on the advice…read moreof one of my clients. She did not let me down as we walked in and noticed how truly authentic it was going to look. Chinese decor on the walls and boxes of restaurant supples in the corners. Just as it should be. The bonus was that they had a TV showing the NBA Finals when we arrived. Pretty nice touch and in the back of the restaurant so as not to distract everyone. We went with a couple of our favorite dishes to run along and the Chicken Lo Mein was pretty good. Crispy pieces of chicken and soft noodles and veggies to go with it. We chose to get Mongolian Beef and it was absolutely fantastic. Crispy celery, green onions and decent sized pieces of meat in a terrific sauce. I would love to try to replicate that. My wife wanted a shrimp dish so she ordered the honey walnut and it even looked good to me when they brought it. She loves egg rolls, so she got a four piece and said they were pretty good. My biggest wow of the visit was their vegetable fried rice. MY GOD. I dont know what they season or flavor it with, but every fork full of rice that i ate, it was this sense of flavor that reminded me of butter or something else. I really loved the sensation i experienced from this particular dish. I am really curious on what it actually is. I will definitely be ordering out or coming in for Chinese because that reminded of many other places that put out fantastic dishes.

We had plenty to share, which is always a plus. The restaurant has a nice family-style vibe, but it's a lot smaller inside than it looks from the outside. If it's busy, it can feel pretty cramped, and you'll probably have to squeeze between tables and chairs to get around. If it's not crowded though, it's much easier to move around. The service was fast, which I appreciated. The only downside was the food runner who brought out our meals. He wasn't very friendly and kind of just set the plates down wherever there was space, even on top of the plates we were already using. It felt a little careless and took away from an otherwise good experience. Overall, the food was definitely the highlight, but because of that experience with the service, it'll probably be a while before I come back.

    What I Ordered: Juicy Pork Dumplings ($11.99)…read morePan Fried Chinese Chives Pork Shrimp dumplings ($12.99) Wonton in Spicy Sauce ($11.50) Chicken Fried Rice ($12.99) Dry fried string bean ($13.50) Orange Chicken ($14.99) Kung Pao Shrimp ($18.99) Dan dan noodle ($13.99) Beef roll pancake ($12.99) Spring rolls ($3.50) Jasmine Milk Tea with Boba Food: The Pan Fried Chinese Chives Pork Shrimp Dumplings. I absolutely loved the crispy bottom layer because it added such a satisfying crunch to every bite. The inside stayed really juicy and flavorful with a good balance of pork, shrimp, and chives. The Juicy Pork Dumplings had soup inside, which was rich and savory. I've had soup dumplings before where the wrapper breaks apart too easily, but these held together nicely while still staying soft and delicate. The Wonton in Spicy Sauce was my personal favorite from the entire meal. The spicy sauce flavor was savory with a little sweetness. I'm typically not good with spice, so this is at a spice level that should be very manageable for everyone. I absolutely loved the spicy sauce, so I started putting it on everything. Definitely put the sauce on the chicken fried rice! The Chicken Fried Rice was a great dish to pair with everything else that we ordered. With several orders of entrees, a solid rice dish is a must order for any Chinese meal. The rice had a nice savory flavor that I enjoyed, and there was a generous amount of chicken mixed throughout the dish. I even asked the waitress if they do anything special with the fried rice because it tasted better than many other restaurants. It felt comforting and balanced compared to some of the heavier dishes. The Dry Fried String Beans were cooked perfectly with a slight crispness while still being tender. The garlic and seasoning gave them so much flavor that it honestly didn't even feel like I was eating vegetables. I do have to note that these were very much on the salty side, so if you don't like foods that are too salty, I would choose a different dish. The Orange Chicken was really crispy and juicy, which I appreciated because soggy orange chicken is always disappointing to me. The sauce had a nice citrus flavor while still keeping that classic sweet savory taste. The Spring Rolls were simple with vegetable filling on the inside with a crispy outside. I would try a different appetizer next time. The Kung Pao Shrimp was packed with flavor and had a really satisfying combination of textures. The shrimp were tender, and the peanuts added a great crunch to the dish. I thought the sauce had a really nice balance of spice and savoriness without becoming overwhelming. Another dish I really enjoyed was the Beef Roll Pancake. The pancake itself was nice and chewy throughout each bite. The sliced beef with green onions and sauce all wrapped together made every bite really flavorful and satisfying. For drinks, I ordered the Jasmine Milk Tea with Boba. I really liked that the jasmine tea flavor was noticeable instead of being overly sweet like some milk teas can be. The boba had a soft chewy texture, and the drink itself paired perfectly with the spicy and savory dishes from the meal. Staff: All of the staff members were quick and friendly Ambiance: Indoor seating only. A good amount of parking in the parking lot that is shared with other shops in the plaza.

I have liked everything I've tried, but I mainly love coming for their noodle soups! The noodle soups are really yum, very filling, and you can choose what type of noodle you want!! I believe they have knife cut, flat noodle, and a round noodle (?). But I personally really like flat or knife cut for the soups! Most recently I tried the chicken chow mein and it was good! Only thing is we ordered it spicy, and in all honesty it's really not spicy at all! Lol I would have preferred more of a kick, but that's just me maybe! The plates are shareable here which is really nice cause we can always try different things! One main thing I recommend is definitely the beef roll pancake!!! It's so sooo good! One of my fav things on the menu! The inside is clean. Not a super huge place, but I never have felt crammed or uncomfortable. Last time I went the girl helping us was so nice and attentive even when they were really busy!

Although they were busy, every time we needed something they would bring it out right away but this is not the place where they would come check on you every so often. They know what they're doing and they do it efficiently.

When I walked in and saw the outside I was wondering why my friends choose this place, it looked from the outside like a small shop, but when I walked in it was way bigger and authentic. Jokes on me. Ordered a bunch of dim sum dishes, everything came out quickly. They even have dessert samples in the front. In San Francisco they would never have dessert samples at a dim sum place so that was a plus for our group. Tea is around $5 a pot. Potstickers were a hit and so was the beef chow fun. Those were 5/5 The beef jook is a skip, kind of tasted runny like powder and no real flavor with weird small bits of beef that looked like bacon bits. 2/10 Other than that the dim sum was solid amd came out hot and fresh. Same with the Chinese broccoli. Skip the lemon iced tea. Tasted like it was from a packet and it was horrible. 0/10 Would definitely come back for their dim sum though.
