Best Chinese food in town! Why do I say that? Well many Jews eat Chinese food on Christmas! I went here on the eve and the food was delicious. It is buffet service! The restaurant was booming with conversations and the food was tasty! Would recommend! Not here on Christmas? Just as good! Wide variety of different things to order and the service was great! Best kosher restaurant in Phoenix Area! read more

OK for in house dining disappointing for delivery options. I just spent 20 minutes setting up door dash via my credit card promo, only to find that there is almost a 33% bump in price across the board. The appetizer I wanted was $17 instead of $14 and THE ENTREES WERE $10 MORE EACH That's chutzpah. read more

WARNING: Unless you want to have thoughts about suicide, don't come here. The food was absolutely dreck and inedible. I agree with all of the terrible comments about this place. Don't waste your money. Any good reviews here are fabricated from the temple. Jesus would NOT have been happy to come here if it was his last supper... read more

Truly don't go here. We spent almost $100 for Chinese food that was much worse than Panda Express. And also it felt unhealthy with no veggies on the side or anything. For some reason we brought the leftovers home...our kids won't even eat them and they normally gobble up take out. read more

This restaurant is a true hidden gem. The food--especially the Chinese dishes and the perfectly crispy schnitzel--is consistently delicious, but what truly makes this place special is the family behind it. The owner welcomes every guest with genuine warmth, treating you like an old friend the moment you walk in. His daughter is just as wonderful--kind, attentive, and full of energy. You can see how much pride she takes in helping run the restaurant, and her presence adds so much heart to the experience. Great food, amazing people, and a place that makes you feel at home every time. Highly recommended read more

We went for our daughter's graduation celebration, with a party of 8 in our family. The service was friendly and efficient, getting our food in a reasonable time after ordering. The food was served in huge portions, and everyone enjoyed their meals. The Chinese dishes were really good and flavorful, and the middle eastern dishes delicious as well. The only wish was some music playing, we used our cell phone for the ambiance :) read more

Bones inside matzah ball soup, very dangerous. Will never return nor recommend to anyone.

Worth the 2 hour drive. Strictly Kosher food is delicious. Platters and soup servings so huge, I always end up with doggie bags or cartons for delicious meals the rest of the week. A little pricey these days. Staff friendly and attentive. Outside seating when cooler weather but inside is friendly and immaculate. Takeouts if you have transport for events. read more

It's a great restaurant. Very nice employees, extensive menu, and pretty fast service. Look, it's a fleishig kosher restaurant so it's expensive. Luckily, everything is high quality and super tasty. We were there on a Monday and the place was packed. Nonetheless they took a little time to help celebrate my birthday. I highly recommend this place. read more

Hidden in a strip mall is a nice little kosher restaurant that has a vast menu. I'll be honest and say they can take a few things off the menu that they dont do that well. Food: After several visits, we have determined that the best options on the menu are Chinese dishes. The Israeli inspired items are just not up to par with competition and similar food in other states. The must skip item is the schnitzel, which I am convinced they tried to pound the chicken out of the dish. The chicken is so thin, that it is hard to distinguish the chicken portion from the breading. Fries are good, but frozen: could do better here with handcut fries. The soup is pretty solid too and a nice portion. The apps have the same "just ok" flavor. The baba was ok, the humus was much better. The pita? AWESOME! We have tried several dishes from the Chinese options and ALL are excellent! Service: Smaller place, so service is a function of how busy they are. That somewhat explains the difference in service we have received, but it still ranged from Very Good to Excellent. Last visit the waitress was very attentive and did a great job taking care of our party. Overall: Excellent place in the Valley and a must stop for kosher dining in the area. Plenty of parking in the lot as well. read more

After finalizing my flight to AZ the second order of business is finalizing possible dates/times that we'll go to Kitchen18. I go for the sesame chicken because there are so few times I could ever have that and it's just delicious but everything I've had there is always really good. The service is absolutely fantastic, such nice people who are looking to deliver the best experience for their customers!!! And it's sad that it happens more rarely at this type of establishments than it should be but when it does happen it's great and very exciting to write about and share! read more

We stopped by this place because we could not agree on what we will eat. I want rice and kung pao chicken plate is huge and delicious. I have a leftover to enjoy again the next day. Eggplant tahina, whole grilled eggplant, is so juicy delicious. The tahini and dried fruit toppings help bring out the favor of grilled eggplant. Another good thing is there are many fish dishes that we could choose from. The food came out fast and the portion is generous. read more

Great food! Large portions! Wonderful service! We will definitely come back!!!! The ambiance is just fantastic!!!

Food was fantastic! We went twice in a few days, and had great meals both times. The first dinner was with six people, all ordering different items ... and everyone was happy! We will be back and we are recommending it to our friends that visit Scottsdale. read more

Absolutely incredible! Restaurant in Scottsdale has food better than 5 Towns! Epic fish tacos! Solid solid Chinese food. Owner is one of the nicest, most humble and kind people you will meet. Servers are nice. Overall 5 starts plus! Can't wait to be back at Kitchen 18! read more

Really enjoyed the crispy beef and Mediterranean sampler. The baba ghanoush was like homemade.

Food and service is great! Love that they have incorporated a small shoppette. My favorite things to order here are the orange chicken, fried rice, low mein, fish and chips, and the burgers are amazing. read more

The best chicken tacos I've ever had! I admit to being skeptical of this place after seeing the prices on the menu. My friend eats kosher, I'm a good old-fashioned Catholic so pretty much anything goes for my diet. He ordered the grass fed hamburger with sweet potato fries and Israeli salad, which looked very fresh, not greasy, very healthy. chicken tacos were one of the specials that day and was very reasonably priced. Three good size tacos. I almost couldn't finish it, but it was too good to stop! I will definitely go back. read more

It's raw, I don't think eating a burger raw is good for you, it has no taste at all, I'm going to finish looking at your app and see what's more healthier read more

Great Food, Big portions, good atmosphere, friendly owner! My buddies and I enjoy this for an evening out. My family goes here for occasions. Catering for Shabbos or otherwise always good. Freshly prepared food. read more

I walked into Kitchen 18 and it was packed so I was lucky to get a table. The menu has a nice selection of American, Israeli, Kosher, Chinese favorites. I had the Moroccan lamb soup and blackened tuna with veges(grilled zucchini, rice, carrots)and a Corona beer to wash it down(K18 also has an excellent selection of Italian, Californian and Israeli fine wines). My tuna was delicious glazed with teriyaki sauce and a very large, filling portion. The Moroccan lamb soup was the best I ever had with chickpeas and amazingly tasty broth. Everything tasted great. The Owner personally attended to me and brought my dinner out fast even though they were closing soon; I had plenty of time to relax and eat. There were alot of Orthodox Jewish customers which is a good sign since they know their Kosher. I'm from the east coast and the owner told me he's from Chicago. K18 has that great neighborhood Chicago, NYC Jewish restaurant ambience. I rank it best Jewish Kosher restaurant in Arizona(and they have Kosher Chinese which is hard to find). Congratulations K18. read more

Food was disgusting. Chicken soup was mostly chicken bones, chicken fat, and the little soup that there was had little to no taste. Don't bother. We spent nearly 100.00 and had to trash every part of our meal. read more

Good kosher Chinese food. We wanted to order some egg rolls and they were out of stock. Other than that food was pretty good. In my opinion plates are big and can be shared with someone else. read more

We just finished dining here, and thought I would write a review with it fresh on my mind. I was afraid to eat here after hearing about all the health violations it had, but the menu looked interesting. First off, the restaurant appears very run down from the front. It is a no-frills Mediterranean/Chinese restaurant (I believe it's Jewish too). It's pretty charming, but it smelled very musty inside. It was also deserted. Bad sign. The service was very average. We had Cinthya as our server. She was very kind but seemed very frustrated with the restaurant. The food took almost 30 minutes to come, and she was arguing with the kitchen to hurry up. I DON'T BLAME HER! I guess the thing that offended me was that when we arrived our food (We ordered Orange Chicken and Sliders), the Sliders were raw. They were supposed to come Medium, but they were still MOO-ing. The fries on the side were also undercooked, and the frozen kind you buy at the Target Frozen Aisle. The Orange Chicken was pretty good, but for $20 we expected better. I guess the only way they don't go out of business is they price so much for mediocre food. Overall, I'm extremely unimpressed and confused. Note: We also felt unwelcome as the staff were staring at us the whole time, I guess because we are not Jewish. read more

Some of the tastiest food I've had in a long time! Family friendly atmosphere with lots of menu options and you really can't go wrong with anything. I ordered the hot and sour soup that had their own twist of chicken, tofu and peas and carrots. It was tasty but a little salty and a much larger portion than I expected. For my main meal I ordered the hot pastrami wrap with the sweet potato fries. So delicious! The wrap was incredible. So much flavor and warm. The fries ended up being comped because they didn't come out with the main meal and believe me when I say that the fries were worth it! Others in my party ordered the sesame chicken and crispy beef, both of which were so delicious, I had to sneak a few pieces. Highly recommend Kitchen18, whether you keep kosher or not. read more

I haven't been to Kitchen18 for several years but I'm happy to see that the decor has been upgraded and it's quite attractive. The food was excellent. Even though I'm not kosher I will be back for its salmon and Mediterranean dishes--hummus, felafel, etc. I had one of the Chinese dishes to see how the kosher version stacked up against non-kosher Chinese and it was terrific! Quick and friendly service. read more

We are from Los Angele and visiting Scottsdale for the first time. We looked up kosher restaurants on google and found this restaurant and it did NOT disappoint. We just ordered western burgers, pastrami burgers, Kung pao beef, beef lo mein and chicken tenders. Each meal came with 2 huge sides of salad and fries. The food was great. The meat in the burgers were fresh and tender. The burgers were large and had plenty of pastrami. The lo mein was flavorful had a lot of meat in it which was great. The Kung Pao was spicy but not overpowering, the meat was tender and juicy. It was not too oily. The food was ready on time and the service was great. The portions were HUGE and the prices are amazing!! Definitely recommend this place. read more

Too many food selections on the menu...three of us dined and we all had Chinese food which was avarage at best...we also had an order of onion rings which were excellent....do no order the Chinese food selections read more

The owner (Jordan I think his name was) was really nice and the Hot Pastrami wrap that I ordered was filling and delicious!

This is the best KOSHER place in AZ ! They also do pickup and delivery and Nathan the owner and his team treats us every time in the best way we could ask ! Food is clean and always testy I recommend to all my friends Jewish or not THIS IS THE PLACE FOR YOU.......HIGHLY RECOMMEND read more

My guest's plate looked great and i took her here because she needed kosher dining options. My plate paled in comparison (and was much more expensive). One small red snapper fillet that was supposed to have Chimichurri sauce but apparently they just brush it on like a thin coating of marinade to where the Chimichurri ends up looking like a dry rub instead of what anyone else would be expecting Chimichurri sauce to look like on a dish. Thing was an astounding $28 and dwarfed by both of the sides. The israeli salad was fresh but very plain, my larger complaint with the sides lay with the mashed potatoes which tasted great for mashed potatoes but they were insultingly cold and not dry enough to be unpalatable but enough to annoy you. Overall the presentation and quality left much to be desired for the price. read more

Very good kosher food for dine-in or catering. When I went for dinner, I got the schwarma platter, which was huge and delicious. Service was great and the place is very warm and good for groups or families. For catering, I got rice, salad, grilled veggies, chicken skewers, sesame chicken, and babka. Everything was great and my guests loved it for dinner. Very thankful that there is a glatt kosher option in town for those who need it! read more

We came during Yeshiva week and everyone was breaking down the doors and the owner still accommodated everyone including us!

Ordered the chicken wings and they are all covered in feathers. I think they must just buy them super cheap because they are clearly not cleaned properly. I'm sure this isn't an issue for some people but it grossed me out. I understand some chicken still has some little hairs on it but this has full blown feathers, it practically flew out of the box. I did eat a couple that looked relatively normal and they were massively overcooked, dry and tough. The owner and staff seemed pleasant and I can't speak for the other food, but my experience was unfortunately displeasing. read more

Good. Bad. And ugly. The good: I ordered grilled chicken breast w roasted veggies and it was well seasoned and well cooked. It was "honest". In that you could taste the carrots, the broccoli, and the smoky infused chicken. Well cooked, well seasoned and thought out. The bad; got a tuna/poki type of appetizer that was so cloyingly sweet I couldn't eat it. The UGLY; egg rolls. Definitely cheap, food service grade. Heavy wrap filled with an unknown combination of ingredients that were frozen during the last ice age. Then it was cooked in the oldest, hottest batch of oil available in the world. They were freezer burned and then burned burned. Sorry, but I wouldn't feed them to my worst enemy read more

It was fine. Service was very good and attentive. Parking is easy. Food is not great. Had the egg rolls (very little filling and over cooked). Hummus platter: Hummus and Falafel primarily. It was a good portion, but under-seasoned. Wife had avocado salad with chicken and again it had little taste. Friend had Matzo Ball Soup...only had 1 matzo ball. Friend had Fish Tacos, which looked good. Probably not a "go again". read more

My family ordered out from and the food was delivered well packaged and delicious. Would recommend.

Kosher food never tasted so delicious! Excellent service from Carlos and a sense of humor, too. We had the schwarma, sliders, pastrami burger, classic steak sandwich, and chicken matzoh ball soup. They also have a full menu of Chinese food so it fulfills so many cravings...sports bar, Middle Eastern, European, and Chinese. Can you imagine a place where cravings are fulfilled and you don't need to listen to anyone complain?!?! Plus the portion sizes were large enough for leftovers. Pay Kitchen18 a visit. read more

Loved this place while we were in Scottsdale recently. Ending up ordering from them several times, including delivery once to our hotel. Kids loved the chicken, couldnt get enough of it! Also the falafel plate was excellent. Restaurant itself is a bit dated, could use a refresh, but service was good, and pricing was reasonable. read more
