New owners. Not the same family vibe. And the food was terrible. Maybe a bad day so I will try them one more time. Ms. Kitty should have taken the name with her when they sold the business. read more

Ordered take out and service was great. It was early evening on a weekday. The food was uninspiring and seemed to be an order from lunch that was heated in the microwave. I ordered chow mein that was stuck together and soaking in sauce. The cheszhan chicken was extremely hard and dried out and sitting in sauce with shriveled, overcooked jalapeños. This was possible the worst meal I've had from this place. I also ordered chicken fried rice which was basic and just okay. The Crab Rangoon was good. I spent $35 on dinner and will promptly be dieting tonight after a few bites. The rest went in the garbage. read more

The custom plates are good, the wonton soup however was salty and has a bit of an after taste. The Mongolian beef is good, fried rice and chow mien. Definitely worth the try if you're looking for a cheap quick lunch! read more

This is 5th time Trying this place. I don't understand what this town sees in this place. It is not good. The salt and pepper shrimp Was inedible. No 6th time read more

Amazing food with nothing left to be desired! The BBQ service staff showed p and didn't go soft when the order came through! Thank you!

Good chinese food option while visiting Great Wolf Lodge. House fsvorite spicy noodle soup with egg noodles were good

The service was amazing! Everyone was friendly and attentive. The food was delicious, best I've had in a long time. Really the whole experience was great and the prices were more than reasonable. I will definitely come back here again. read more

Kitty's Kitchen - Get the honey garlic pork ribs! - Chinese Near Me - Manteca, California

A co-worker invited me to this restaurant for lunch. It's tucked away in a strip area. Based on the name, I would never guess this to be a Chinese food restaurant. We walked in and we were quickly seated. I looked over their menu which was a typical Chinese menu. I went with the combo of Mongolian beef and fried prawns. The food came out pretty quick. Time to eat. The Mongolian beef was good as was the prawns. The fried rice and chow mien was also good. The price wouldn't break the break either. With drink, this meal came out to just under $16 bucks. Not bad. I would return again to try something else. read more

Great food and great service. I am allergic to MSG so rarely try new chinese restaurants but we recently moved here and decided to try it. Success! I'm ok and we have a new favorite restaurant. The homemad potstickers are the best we have ever had - so meaty, delicious, and MSG-free. read more

The Food tasted alright, I got sweet and sour with pork. The aroma tasted like someone's perfume. But when I get to the noddles let me tell you, I DID NOT expect a strand of Hair. Disgusting read more

I've been visiting a nearby store for over a year and never noticed kittys kitchen until recently. We decided to stop in for lunch & it did not disappoint. The place was packed full of construction workers grabbing a quick lunch, service is super fast and portion sizes are huge. We love the chow mein and the Szechuan chicken lunch special. It a good shareable size for 2 people. I've also only heard good things from my family who are frequents here. Must try ! read more

Delicious Chinese food Price is reasonable for the amount of food they give you Service is great too, they take a little longer since they cook it after you order read more

Definitely wanted to give them a chance since it changed ownership. The dinner portions are not worth the price, hardly any cream cheese in the cream cheese wonton appetizers. We were missing one of our items, we didn't notice until we were home and had to go back after closing to get it. Super disappointing. This used to be one of my favorite places. Won't be back. read more

We are here twice and the food was hot and decent. We stopped in to get take out waited 20 minutes for the food,. Takes 5 minutes to get home from there. Food was cold . The sweet and sour shrimp was chewy and the batter was hard in places. It was like it was microwaved to reheat it. The sweet and sour chicken was likewise , chewy and dry. Barely warm as well. Thought we found a good spot, but when you put out bad food it's had to go back read more

I always come into this place for the combinations plates Fried rice , chow mien . Kung pao chicken , Mongolian beef extra spicy on both, the best Chinese food in Manteca . Also the owner Wayne is awesome . I always come in and he always happy and serves customers with a smile, And you can tell all of his regulars love to dine in over here, Dine in and take out is a solid 5 stars, Highly recommend the food here. read more

Huge Portions here, came here with my family to dine in. everyone order there own combination plate , I pick the 2 entrees that comes with fried rice and chow mein. The sesame chicken was phenomenal...it blew me away how tender and crispy, it was all white meat, nothing chewy and cheap. The Mongolian beef was delicious spicy but a little bit sweet for me, beef was tender no fats or chewy nerves. The fried rice was fluffy and perfectly light fried , not greasy . Chow mein was very good not oily at all. Everyone had to take some home because they give you ALOT . Yummy! 4.5 stars read more

I wouldn't eat anything from this restaurant people have to walk thru kitchen to get to restrooms

Came here recently, not knowing about the new ownership but could immediately tell walking in the ambience was different as well as the customer service. I got my usual order food looked good but didn't taste good the flavors just weren't there and the rice was dry. Sad that the original owners aren't there anymore :( Won't be back read more

Kitty's Kitchen is my daughter's favorite spot and I must admit when it comes to Chinese food it's a legit stop. I'll break my review into 3 components: Food, Service & Ambience. Food - The food here is quite good. My daughter got a combo plate with broccoli beef, almond chicken and then rice/chow mein. We also got a side order of sweet & sour pork. She devoured a bit of each and loved it all. Oddly enough, she doesn't care for almonds too much so she left those which made me question why she doesn't order a different chicken dish but that's another conversation for another day. The broccoli beef was good and flavorful. The sweet & sour pork had a very tasty sauce and the pork was cooked well. No real chewy pieces; it all tasted very fresh. The fried rice was okay, not my favorite I've had but still decent. Chow mein was a little bland too, but still good. Overall I'd give the food a 4 out of 5 stars. I happen to love chow mein and fried rice so to have both of those taste bland was a tiny bit disappointing. Maybe I'm used to MSG-infused crap...I don't know. Service - The people who run this place are just wonderful. They are very kind and friendly people and the gentleman who rang me up had a very upbeat attitude and was good about offering extras to make sure our meal was enjoyable. It's little things like that which really stick with me. It almost felt like a friend or family member looking out for you. They really do have that vibe that you're almost being welcomed into their home and that's a hard quality to nail down. They've mastered that. They're the type of people that are just so wholesome you just want to give them a hug. I give the service 5 stars. This is where Kitty's Kitchen truly shines. Ambience - The restaurant itself is pretty small, but there are several tables for people to eat at. Decor isn't anything grand, but honestly if you care more about how it looks around you than the food or service you're better off going to Olive Garden and eating a Tour of (Sh)Italy while staring at wallpapered vines. This place isn't going to win any awards in the decor realm, but don't let that detract you from experiencing good food and service. My only gripe about the ambience is the place isn't very accommodating for larger groups. If you have 4 or less you're fine, but a large group (8+) may be a bit trickier to accommodate. I'm not saying it's impossible, it'd likely depend on how busy they were. They're the types who would do whatever they could to make you feel comfortable so I'm sure they can make it work for a larger group. I give the ambience a 3.5 overall just because their size is limiting. Overall, I'd highly recommend checking out Kitty's Kitchen. This is small business at its finest and these people are two of the nicest people I've encountered in quite a while when dining out. Chinese food isn't my first craving, but if I do end up going Chinese food it's Kitty's Kitchen where I end up going. Great people, great food. read more

Great service, the food is hot and fresh. I appreciate that the veggies aren't mushy.

My husband & I were very hesitant to come back after the ownership change because of a few other reviews but decided to give them a chance since we were told that the new owners have Kitty's recipes. Disappointed is an understatement, most of our food wasn't even edible. Salt & pepper chicken wing appetizer, undercooked. Salt & pepper fish rice plate, raw & smelly fish. The only saving grace, combination chow fun but even then, my husband said the beef was tough. I will usually tough it out if I don't like the food & will pay for it but when it's not even edible, I'm sorry but I'm not wasting my money & I had to tell them that I wouldn't be paying for it. My husband felt bad & showed the server & she even agreed that our food wasn't fully cooked. read more

Love coming here for lunch I normally call this in before 2:30pm for lunch special, the food is delicious and it's fairly price, love the variety this might be the best Chinese food in manteca always fresh and tasty. If your craving for Chinese food this is the sport to go to. Enough talking and typing time to eat. read more

My cousin suggested I try this place so yesterday while out running errands I decided to stop by. It's in a strip mall next to a pet store, super easy to find. My usual go to when I try a new place is Mongolian beef. I ordered the Mongolian rice plate and won ton soup. The owners were really friendly and I believe it's a family owned business. It's a cute little restaurant. They are taking all covid precautions. I was asked if I wanted any condiments so I asked if they had chili sauce. The owner said chili oil. I said OK. I like spicy. (Usually Mongolian beef is made Americanized and not spicy enough) I took a bite when I got home it had a little kick so I added the chili oil. Omg I was sweating and thought my face was gonna melt off haha anyway the soup is good, has a good flavor and the Mongolian beef was yummy. I will definitely be trying other dishes soon. read more

Kitty's is always our favorite place for Chinese! The employees are always so friendly and helpful, which is always a nice addition to the great food. We always get the Salt & Pepper Fish-- it's the best! Kung Pao chicken is packed with yummy veggies every time and good flavor. Absolutely love their chow mein as well. You can never go wrong stopping in or calling for pickup. read more

May 2024 I can not recommend this restaurant any longer, especially to those hoping to eat gluten free. We waited for more than 30 minutes for our food when the dining room had fewer than 3 tables with dine in customers. This is our third visit since the ownership change and it is our last. Food is not the same quality and the wait is too long. read more

It use to be the best Chinese food in town but the past 2 times we've went here their typical food taste and hot and sour soup have been off, not the same. Idk if a different chef or what. read more

Good and fair prices. Good service, too. Very good Manu items to choose from. Yelp is a ridiculous website. Why must a person need to have 85 characters to give an opinion? A total waste of time. read more

I guess I miss the Bay Area's abundance of good food. I ordered after reading the great reviews and was excited to try. I ordered a Broccoli Beef plate with rice. The portions were big and lots of meat; however, there was zero flavor. The sauce on the meat was very bland and the white rice must have been at the bottom of the pot because it was crispy. Let the search for amazing Chinese food continue. read more

What the heck happened to this place? We use to eat here twice a month. The last two visits the food was just alright. Time to find another place unfortunately read more

This has been a regular go to since we moved to Manteca 10 years ago. We've developed a few favorites, and to be fair, have experienced a few misses. The constant was the presence of the owners at every visit. Kitty herself always stopped by our table to say hello, even if on kitchen duty that particular day. We knew something had changed when we walked in and recognized exactly no one. We asked where our favorite server was, "she doesn't work here since the old owners sold". Uh oh. We ordered our usual favorites, a starter, entree to share and steamed rice. The egg rolls were as good as ever though clearly not freshly cooked. Our entree though was totally blah nothing like it used to be. Steamed rice was, well, steamed rice, in a tiny bowl. We ask for a bit more for our leftovers and were charged full price for a second serving, a far cry from Kitty filling up the to go container. It wasn't really bad, but was completely different from what we previously appreciated. We will be trying one of the other places in town for our next outing. read more

I've been going to Kitty's Kitchen for years now. So, I thought I should finally honor them by doing a review! They are extremely consistent with their good quality food , great service, large portion sizes and average pricing. The food is always fresh and flavorful, along with the fact that our order is always correct and on time. We usually order to go because the restaurant is pretty small inside and it is a little warm during the spring/summer months. I have noticed that the front windows face west so they get all the afternoon sun, so that's probably why. But, if you do decide to eat in, I have noticed that they seem to be pretty clean. We will absolutely continue to go to this restaurant! read more
