    Current promotion going on till 15 July

    After having such a great experience at the Stockton location earlier this week, I decided to check out M Kitchen's newly opened Manteca location. Whenever I visit a restaurant with multiple locations, one of the biggest things I look for is consistency, and I'm happy to say they absolutely delivered. The food was every bit as good as I remembered. This time I tried the sesame chicken, and it instantly became one of my favorites. The chow mein, barbecue chicken, orange chicken, and fried fish were just as flavorful as they were at the original location. After eating at both restaurants, it's clear they take pride in maintaining the same quality and flavors across both kitchens. What impressed me even more than the food was the customer service. When I arrived, there were only a few pieces of fried fish left. The food still looked fresh, but I asked if it would be possible to wait for a fresh batch because I wanted it nice and hot. Without hesitation, they smiled and told me it would only be a few minutes. It ended up taking around five minutes, and they happily made a fresh batch without making me feel like I was inconveniencing them. That kind of hospitality is becoming harder to find, and it really stood out to me. I also had the chance to meet one of owners, who shared a little about the journey of opening this second location. It was nice hearing the story behind the business and seeing the passion they have for serving the community. This location is currently takeout only because it's a smaller space. Personally, I wish there were seating because the food is absolutely worth enjoying fresh inside the restaurant. The owner mentioned they hope to eventually expand into a larger location with dine-in seating, and I genuinely hope they're able to make that happen. Where M Kitchen really stands out is the value. It's becoming harder and harder to find restaurants that offer generous portions at reasonable prices, but this place does exactly that. Every combo I saw was packed to the brim with food. You don't leave wondering if you got your money's worth. You leave feeling like you received more than what you paid for. The combination of quality, generous portions, and affordable prices is what really sets M Kitchen apart. They're also currently running a promotion through July 15 where every combo comes with a free drink, which was a nice surprise for my wife and me. After visiting both locations, what impressed me most wasn't just the food. It was the consistency. The quality, flavors, generous portions, value, and friendly customer service have all remained the same. That's not easy to accomplish, especially for a growing family-owned business. M Kitchen has officially become my go-to spot for Chinese food in both Manteca and Stockton. It isn't trying to be a luxury restaurant, and that's okay. It focuses on doing the fundamentals exceptionally well by serving fresh, flavorful food with generous portions, fair prices, and genuinely welcoming service. If you're looking for quality Chinese food that delivers great value, I highly recommend giving M Kitchen a try.

    Two item combo Mongolian chicken  Sweet sour pork Chow mein / fried rice

    Found this spot randomly looking for something to try new since we were in town doing some back to school shopping. Me and the kiddos got ourselves some combos also grabbed some egg rolls vegetarian. This place is TO GO ONLY which I think if it was sit down all you can eat would be perfect. They do have a lot of options of food and different combo types to choose from. Very friendly and very helpful. Honestly the food taste wise was nothing special I for sure did not like the chow mein noodles they tasted overcooked not much flavor I really like the sweet and sour pork and the Mongolian chicken was good too this place was good for the price but not something I would come back to get again.

    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!

    This is the first time I've ever crossed over a Doordash review to Yelp and I think it's for VERY…read moregood reason. 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)

    Wowwwwzaaa! Was craving Thai food and gave this little unknown place a try. Never knew this place…read moreeven existed. The restaurant is in a little old school strip mall, supperrrr tiny but don't let that deceive you. Inside was packed and there was a line outside too. Ordered to-go and they said 20 mins but it was more like almost 30-40 min. Truly worth the wait though. Will definitely be coming back to this spot! Also, got a peek in the kitchen and the cooks looked authentic and Thai? That's why it's so yummy! lol.

    I had a craving for Pho so I decided to drive to The Pho for lunch on a Monday. I've been here…read morebefore, but it's been a long time so I was looking forward to visiting again. I walked in at 10:30am and was immediately asked "to go?" by a lady standing at the register. I replied that I wanted to dine in and was told that there was a big order so they were only taking to go orders. The restaurant was completely empty since they only opened at 10am. I read other people on Yelp sharing similar reviews but at later times in the day so I thought maybe they were isolated incidents, but apparently this is only a to-go only establishment at this point. If you plan on dining in, I'd suggest going to a different restaurant in the area for your Pho craving which is what I did. The place that I ended up at was packed with people when I got there at around 11am but they gladly served us some great food. Very disappointed in this experience.

    I arrived at approximately 7:47 pm Sunday and was greeted with a "to go?" and was told it was to go…read moreonly because they had two large parties that were still waiting for their food and it was going too be long to wait (I may have misheard the exact reason but this is what it sounded like the young lady told me). Mind you they're open until 9:00. First time trying to eat here, and not a great impression. I try not to go to restaurants in their last half hour of service so I thought that with close over an hour away, I'd be ok. In case you didn't know, getting pho to go is cumbersome because I still have to reheat the broth at home and assemble everything in a bowl. I just wasn't in the mood to cook at all. Maybe I'll give this place another chance but I'll be sure to get there many hours before close to have a chance at being able to sit in and eat. I instead went all the way to Tracy to go to my usual spot (Saigon) and was sat right away at about 8:07 pm.

My husband got the pork and I got chicken and each dish was well seasoned and tender. The egg rolls were crispy and fresh and I loved the fish sauce it came with. Glad we were able to try this place out. We will be going back again!

    My dad suggested King Pho Vietnamese for lunch today, so we decided to give it a try…read more We started with the fresh spring rolls--two rolls cut in half. They were served with more of a hoisin-style sauce instead of the typical peanut sauce. A little different, but still had good flavor overall. My dad ordered the chicken sandwich, and it was much bigger than what you usually get at other places. He said it was really good and definitely filling. ($6.95) I ordered the mild beef stew pho. It wasn't quite what I'm used to--the meat wasn't the typical stew cut and had more fat and gristle, with only a few pieces of beef. It wasn't my favorite, but the broth itself had good flavor. It also came with rice noodles, carrots, and even a couple pieces of lettuce, which was a bit different. Looking around, other dishes coming out looked really good. I'd definitely come back to try one of their sandwiches next time. Service was quick approx 30 seats. The ambiance was casual and welcoming clean, relaxed, and a comfortable spot to sit down and enjoy a meal. Nothing fancy, but it had a nice local feel.
