The noodles were fantastic and the soup base was great, it had bamboo shoots a little bit of kernel corn a nice soft boiled egg and some fantastically braised beef. I personally have never had noodles done this way before, this noodle dish is a one of a kind. With the curry base, it made this noodle dish one of the best braised beef noodle I've ever had.

I visited Lee's Chinese Restaurant in Manteca, CA [102 Pierce Ave] on Monday, 08/10/26, around 2…read morePM. For lunch, I ordered the following: - Combination Plate B: Pork Fried Rice, Vegetable Chow Mein and Sweet & Sour Chicken ($11.95) - Hot & Sour Soup ($9.95) I must say that the food was super filling and tasty. The soup was executed with perfection and the entire plate was delicious, especially the Chow Mein. The food was still piping hot when I was settled to eat. What stood out to me in this visit was interacting with the restaurant owner, Sancha Lee. She was the sweetest woman, complimenting the clothes I was wearing too! She informed me that the restaurant used to be a dine-in format, but now, it's only takeout because it's just her and her sister running the small business. I was so glad that I was supporting this restaurant. Because of the amazing, affordable prices and yummy Chinese food, I highly recommend stopping by. Whenever I'm visiting Manteca, I'll have to come by again.

In general I don't like when places use the word restaurant in their name when they are to-go only…read more While it's something that I might take into consideration, the food alone is enough to make this rating a sub 4. 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)

We came in hungry on Friday night and decided to go all out. We started on the Japanese side of the menu, and ordered a few plates of rolls as appetizers.

A definite must try!!! Oh... the portions are huge which makes the prices seem like you are under paying....Great Deal...We will frequent Kitty's quite often!!! read more

Love Kitty's! Their food is really tasty and always fresh! One time we placed a phone order, stopped by Target and when I got back to my car it wouldn't start. I called and apologized, letting them know I'd be in as soon as I could get my car taken care of and catch a ride down there. Probably an hour or more later I arrived and they insisited on remaking my food so it was hot and fresh. And she threw in an extra order of wontons since I was having a bad day. I couldn't believe it, I was completely planning on just reheating the food at home. Now that's amazing service! read more

If in Manteca and are looking for Great Chinese Food then Kitt'ys Kitchen is the place to go. You will also experience a friendly greeting and atmosphere (very important to me). I live in Tracy and worked in the bay area for a Chinese owned business so I have eaten at a few Chinese restaurants and with all considered this is the best. This is a family lunch and dinner restaurant not a San Francisco $20/plate----$12/glass of wine, coat and tie only "gotcha restaurant". So, anyone picking the food apart because it had a little too much oil or sweetness is out of line! read more

This is by far the best Chinese food I've ever had. I am a huge fan of Kitty's Kitchen! Kitty has taken time to understand gluten allergies, (a huge issue for Chinese food fans like my entire household) Kitty has gluten free options, and can make most dishes gluten free. Everyone is very friendly, and they get to know you. You're not just a order when you walk in, you're a friend. I appreciate that. The restaurant is clean, and the food is spectacular! The search is finally over for fantastic Chinese food in the Central Valley! 5 stars! read more

Kitty's Kitchen is the only place in Manteca that I will eat Chinese at! Her food is always fresh, and she always asks me about my mother in law who orders from here too! I love the fact that they don't use MSG (there are signs posted that say this inside) since I get sick from MSG! It is an establishment that is family friendly and has great home cooked food. Would recommend Kitty's to anyone looking for good Chinese in Manteca! read more
