    Crispy Orange Beef
    kat d.

    The orange beef arrived and was so and tasteless. We were unable to eat it. The noodles were ok. The noodles at least had some flavor.

    Changed ownership...... here's some recent feedback I don't know what happened, the ownership of Kitty's kitchen just changed. Before when it first opened, it was run by Taishan people who spoke Cantonese. They made authentic food and were super friendly and kind. My favorite dish used to be the fried chicken wings and their sweet & sour Thai noodles.... Upon ordering today, we realized the ownership changed after we realized they didn't speak Cantonese and didn't know which dishes we were talking about. We still ordered in hopes the recipes and food would be the same but much to our disappointment, the food is completely different :( Sometimes change is good, but in this case.. I'd argue against it. The chicken was just ok in flavor and dry and the soup is bland. The rice was super oily as well..... To give perspective, the chicken is wings but the inside meat is like breast meat... We're super disappointed as this was our favorite place and was something we would always look forward to eating... we're going to end up tossing the old menu on our fridge :( Hopefully they'll reach out to the old owners and ask for some of their recipes. Here's some pictures of things we ordered.

    I would say this place is a good value for a generous portion. The ambiance is that of a small hole in the wall family run local businesses that has been in operation for years. Things are older and upgrades haven't been made in quite some time. The decorations on shades were peeling but it should be expected from a more established local family business. This is not a fancy place to go in a date but a good traditional authentic food restaurant. The food was reasonably priced with generous portions so all in all it was a good value. Two combination meals with two entrees, Cho's main and fried rice each with two ice waters totaled $28 and some change. Service was personable and friendly. I did have to ask for my water refill but they were handling a lot of to go orders too! Lots of parking. I would say four and a half stars but can't give half stars on Yelp so it's a four. This is a local gem that is frequented by the locals. We will be back when we want Chinese food again and we recommend you give it a try. Check out my photos too!

    I was Rolling around Manteca and I saw Kitty's Kitchen !!!! Kitty's Kitchen is Located in a Strip Mall . They are a Family Owned Restaurant that has been in business over 13 years!!! So I rolled to Kitty's Kitchen !!! I parked in the Strip Mall parking lot!!! Then I strolled in to Kitty's and Grabbed a Table and a Menu!!! I perused the Menu and Ordered a Large Wonton Soup and a Combination Plate Consisting of. Chow Mein , Fried Rice , Mongolian Beef and Sweet and Sour Pork!!! My Combination Plate came out first!!! The Portions were Generous and Very Tasty!!! Out Next was my Wonton Soup!!! It was Tasty and Flavorful also.. Service is Friendly and Efficient!!! This is a Baller On A Budget Approved Establishment!!!! I'll be Back !!!!! I Keep My Pimp Hand Strong!!!!?

    I am always on a hunt for a good Chinese food and this one topped my list. I found this place through my husband when he decided that one day he'll try this place because he saw the picture of their orange chicken and was easily enticed. This place is small with both table and booth seating. I came here during lunchtime and it can get busy. Though it can be that, the food always come out on time and steaming. That day we ordered Ala Cart. Their orange chicken of course, salt and pepper fish, garlic green bean and house fried rice. All of our orders came out on time and I like that their servings were bountiful. Orange chicken was battered lightly that you still get the chicken it's coated with, It was fried nicely and the sauce it's smothered in was tangy, sweet and not on a too spicy side (which my husband loved). Salt and Pepper fish also has a light batter that was not oily. It also has a light salt and pepper seasoning that is not salty that it overwhelm my taste buds. I can't say the same with the green beans though. Although some of them has that snap with every bite, some of them was mushy and tasted off like it was yesterdays leftovers mixed in with the fresh one of the day. It really threw my mouth on a spin on how it tasted weird and bleh! The fried rice paired perfectly with all the dishes we ordered that day. It was very filling and filled with mixed veggies, shrimp, and bbq pork. These orders were shared between 3 people and still had leftovers to bring home for some eatin later. Their prices were reasonable and service was prompt, friendly and pleasant. We have been back here twice now and slowly trying other dishes they have to offer. Definitely a must try and their Orange chicken is what called to us to this place.

    The worse Chinese food I have ever tasted!!

    Kitty's has gone down hill with these new owners!!! Worse tasting food!! Highly disappointed I would rather eat Panda! Great customer service but you guys need new chefs!

    We decided to try this place in Manteca and it didn't disappoint. The flavors were very good and the portions are perfect for small families/couples. My boyfriend enjoyed their salt and pepper chicken, they were crispy and full of flavor. He would have loved if they added jalapeños for an extra kick! I love their chicken fried rice, it's probably the best chicken fried rice here in Manteca. Good food and friendly service, can't wait to try more items. 8.5

    Disgusting sweet and sour chicken and orange chicken

    Literally my first time eating here and will be my last. It was disgusting. In pictures the orange chicken looked good. It was unflattering and chewy. Even panda noodles are better. The egg rolls were also disgusting. Couldn't even eat it. Feel like a wasted 45$

    An amazing home-y spot for Asian comfort food in Manteca :)…read more For appetizers, we got the bang bang shrimp and spicy wontons and both were delicious. I liked how crispy and sweet yet tangy the bang bang shrimp was. This was probably my favorite item we tried! The chili wontons weren't too spicy and they were really generous with the amount of shrimp inside. Shrimp & wonton noodle soup was def a comfort meal growing up, so I'm happy they had that here! Portion size was very generous and broth was tasty. Noodles were cooked well too, and I liked the filling of the wonton. We also got the curry ramen with katsu chicken. The chicken was sooo crispy, it was one of my favorite items. The bacon kimchi flavor had a nice spicy kick to it. The beef chili oil noodles was tasty and I liked the small beef bits. The bang bang chicken had the same sauce as the bang bang shrimp, but I liked how the entree came with rice too. The philly cheesesteak eggrolls were super crispy, and if you're a cheese lover, you need to try this! Overall, a really solid spot for Asian fusion food, and the servers were all extremely nice and patient as well. Service was really quick!

For me this place is a 3/5. I ordered the general chicken and orange chicken. They said it would be ready in 15 minutes. I came maybe about 10 min later. Got the food and tasted it soon after I got to my car. Orange chicken lacking in that orange pop. General chicken lacking in overall flavor. What was the most unforgivable though was the soggy chicken. Eating at its optimal level would be eating it fresh at the table at the restaurant. Next best thing would be in the car as soon as you got it. But it's a to-go restaurant to realistically your eating it at home after it's traveled for however many minutes. As expected when I got home it was soggy. But it was already as soggy as possible to begin with. Why is this place a 4/5 I have no idea. Maybe since I came during off peak hours so they foods just sitting around and there's no fresh food turnover? No idea. Maybe I'll give them another chance one day but who knows. Also factor in that they don't have rice plates and the cost of pure entrees alone and that's a negative for me. I didn't know how lacking Chinese food was in Manteca because I was spoiled by the old Kitty's Kitchen. Nothing compares in the area.

I'll comment on the taste in a bit but I want to first highlight something I've never experienced. In all my work-from-home years I've never once had to-go experience where the dishes looked like they'd been plated for table service at the restaurant. Sure some stuff shifted in the Dasher's car but it honestly blew me away. Even the drink was carefully wrapped and put in a little box to ensure it wouldn't leak everywhere. As for the important bit, the taste, man... I have had so many amazing Thai meals at places in the bay area and honestly just assumed the most Modesto would get is some great Banh Mi spots. Obviously I haven't had the chance to try the whole menu but my go-to, Tom Kha, this is the best Thai coconut soup I've ever had! The Pad Thai is as good if not better than what I've had in San Francisco as well. I'm really looking forward to bringing friends and family here to check it out in person! Side note... yes, it's also very expensive ordering via Doordash with their added fees but it's 2026 and it's California. So far my multiple orders have been well worth the price and I expect the same experience in person! (just, you know, without the extra Doordash fee nonsense)

Also, got a peek in the kitchen and the cooks looked authentic and Thai? That's why it's so yummy! lol.
