Hot Spicy Diced Chicken

Pork Intestine in Hot Pot - 9/10 Love the sourness of the soup, it's best with rice. Not very spicy, and I really like the vegetables in it. Black Mushroom with Chinese Greens - 7/10 Good amount of mushrooms with a great-tasting sauce. Diced Chicken - 6/10 The chicken is fire -- well-cooked with a nice level of spice overall.

Delicious Chinese foods and welcoming family-owned restaurant! One of the best i've had in awhile; been thinking about it all weekend!!

Just wanted to update my review ad we were able to eat here again. Lately we've been trying to eat at the local mom and pop restaurants as I know many are hurting due to the economy. Tried several dishes like the salt and pepper pork chops, honey walnut shrimp and won run soup. We also love their general Tso chicken and their chicken chowmein made old school style (they use fermented vegetables in it). The only thing that was not that good was the soup, but all the other dishes were on point and quickly made. Please support small businesses as it will be sad if they all close.

97. Beef with Szechuan Special Sauce, good, not to spicy. Because of all the bean sprouts, I had to carefully pick out beef and onion leeks.

Came here to have lunch with some friends and I remembered talking to someone about this place and once I got there, I vaguely remember having eaten here a very long time ago or possibly same location different owners. Anyway we decided to go with a L's carte orders as opposed to their lunch specials. We went with the sautéed vegetables, which I asked if it has bean sprouts because I can't eat bean sprouts and fortunately she said no, that it does not have bean sprouts. Next we ordered salt & pepper pork chops which they came out super salty. I said maybe the salt poured out from the container, then we got the shredded pork with dried bean curds snd that came out perfect. We also ordered the beef with Szechuan sauce and I guess it didn't register to the lady that I couldn't have bean sprouts because I didn't ask, but she did not make me aware that it had tons of bean sprouts in the dish. Last we got an order of green onion pancakes which were nice and crispy. When she finally came back to our table I brought it up to her and she just said oh I forgot. Small businesses like this just have no concern for customer service. Not like what I remembered from before. I feel I have many more Chinese places that offer what we ordered and I always have a back up place to go to.

This place is tucked in a plaza and is a small cozy place. The food is authentic and homey but is a bit too oily for my taste. It the taste is also catered a bit more for American tastes buds so if you're looking for a Chinese place thats a bit more authentic than panda express or your usual takeout spot, this will be the perfect place. Inside they have around 8 small tables seating up to 4 and one to 6 people. They have a single table in the back for bigger parties so you might want to reserve in advance if you are coming with a lot of people. It seems to be run by a couple and feels like eating at your aunties house. Personally not my preference if going out to eat at a restaurant but a cozy place for home cooking if you live nearby.

15. Shredded Pork with Dried Bean Curd Lunch Special

Love their economic meal portions. With three dishes the price is around $40.00 , each additional dish is about $13.00. Not bad at all considering inflation and price increase nowadays. Would definitely come again when I am around the area!

#121. Tilapia Fish with Green Onion in Brown Sauce
Casey C.

Sometimes I miss home cooked Chinese meals and I haven't found a lot of options in the area. M's kitchen intrigued me because they have the onion roasted whole fish (idk the official name). I'm glad I finally got to try this place because it was very good & tasted authentic. The price is comparable to most Chinese/taiwanese food places imo especially with inflation and I think it's meant to be eaten family style (get a few entrees and share). Do note that it is a pretty small restaurant so it might be hard to accommodate big parties, but it's very homey. We got the onion sauce whole tilapia fish (good! Very tender and flavorful), salt & pepper fried pork (10/10 - fried very well), eggplant in garlic sauce (lightly spicy) & bean sauce fish filet (lightly spicy as well). I felt like I was at home, eating these dishes. I'm looking forward to come back and try other items whenever I'm missing a home cooked meal!

Very nice Money tree inside the restaurant nearby the cashier counter!!! feel-GOOD LUCK!!!

Ordered the food to-go! Got a free cool green tea drink while waiting for the food. Good price and the food are delicious. Will be back to visit!!!

Xia Long Bao right after it's vinegar and soy sauce bath

If you're a fan of Northern Cafe on South Street, M's kitchen is the smaller, cheaper, more authentic, better tasting version. Its a small hole in the wall place with several tables hidden away on a quiet lot. There is something charming sitting in this humble little Mom n' Pop restaurant with a hot pot of tea and a Chinese news station rambling off in the background. The food is PHENOMENAL. So many items on the menu and somehow everything is incredible packed with complex flavor. If you only like hyper americanized Chinese food then this place is not for you. The Orange Peel porkchop is still one of our favorites. You take a bite and get burst of delicious orange flavor then an after punch of chinese spice. Bout as perfect as an Orange Peel dish can get. The Xiao Long Bao (soup dumplings) are just like the ones you'd get in Taiwan. Also another favorite dish! The sleeper hit hero that I think everyone misses out on is the HOT SPICY DICED CHICKEN. Its delicious FRIED chicken dusted in hot peppers. Think next level popcorn chicken. Everything is so dang good here I could rave on and on. Their chow mein is one of the best you'll have as well. But I encourage you to try anything on the menu because you can't go wrong. The "mom" of this Mom n' Pop will most likely be your server and she is always a joy to visit. So I'll say it again, DO NOT SLEEP ON THIS PLACE!

Orange peel pork chop
Josh M.

I first found M's Kitchen several years ago, pre COVID and I am so glad the restaurant is still around. The food is fantastic and you can tell it was made with love. We came in on a Saturday evening and there were only a few other people there. We were warmly greeted and seated and given some hot tea. We opted for the "economic meal" which let us choose three entrees (family style) and we added on an order of their house special fried rice. For the entrees we had the house special beef and what really set this apart for me from other places was the Thai basil in it that just upped the flavor. For the second entree we opted for the general Tso's chicken which was loaded with flavor and perfectly crispy. My favorite entree? The orange peel pork chops which were perfectly cooked, nice and crispy while the meat was super tender and the orange peel sauce was absolutely delicious and it was hard not to eat the whole plate myself! The house special fried rice was absolutely delicious and complimented everything else nicely and was probably some of the best fried rice I have had. For me this is one of the best Chinese restaurants in the area and even better is that it is not overpriced. It is a small place and the ambience is very relaxed there are a few tables for smaller groups and one big one for a larger group. The staff was super friendly and I cannot recommend this place enough.

6/24 menu

Don't let the humble appearance of this place deter you from entering. Once you try the food, you will be back, guaranteed. We shared: 1) Beef with tomato-thought my Hawaiian born MIL would enjoy this. While it is quite different than the Hawaiian Chinese tomato beef, it was really delicious. Tender velveted beef with nice chunks of tomato. 2) Shrimp with scrambled egg-also very good. The sautéed shrimp, bean sprouts, green onion, & an extra minute longer on the eggs created a nice texture contrast. Also added a "cooked" flavor to the scrambled egg. 3) Ong choy with garlic- a restaurant stable done well here. 4) Salt & pepper pork chop- really good. Nice meaty pork chops. Crispy. We didn't end up with mostly bone piece as I've had at another Chinese restaurant up the street( rhymes with Slappy Tee). We actually arrived too late for the lunch special. However, the chef hadn't left for his 1-1/2 hr afternoon break. So we were able to have lunch. The waitress was SOOO nice. Very helpful, friendly & also shared dishes we should try next time. Because we KNOW there will be a next time. On a side note, the old time Chinese chefs who cook truly Chinese dishes are a dying breed. Literally. She shared younger cooks want to come in and change/refresh the menu items. Yes, I get it. However, there are plenty of fusion this, nouveau that. What about really good truly Chinese food places? The dive with really good food that's been around forever. We can't let this die. How about a younger enthusiastic chef that wants to learn the truly old Chinese recipes? Like I said, we can't let this die. THAT would be ashame...

Shredded Pork with Dried Bean Curd
John D.

Authentic Northern style Chinese restaurant in Artesia. It's a small humble hole in the wall. When my wife and I walked in, we saw two ladies packing a large bulk order of boxed meals that occupied a few tables. One of them greeted us immediately with a smile and showed us to our table. They don't periodically check in on you, but it's super easily to flag them down if you need anything and they're very friendly. As for the food, we ordered four dishes: Hot Spicy Diced Chicken: 8/10 My personal favorite of the 4 dishes. It's your typical Northern style popcorn chicken loaded with spices and peppers. It's more of a numbing spice than an intense heat. Good flavor and crispiness. Braised String Beans: 7/10 At first I thought this was too plain. But the saltiness from the chicken really amplified the garlic flavor from the string beans and I was glad this wasn't too salty. My wife said it was perfect for her even without the chicken. Shredded Pork with Bean Curd: N/A We enjoyed the shredded tofu and flavor. Also, we like this dish from a place called Cindy's Kitchen near Hacienda Heights. The shredded pork here was a bit too salty and not tender enough for us. Not sure if they velveted the pork, which is a common Chinese cooking technique to get stir fry meat to be really tender. So we felt mixed about this. Squid with Black Bean Sauce: 3/10 The flavor itself was okay. We normally like black bean sauce dishes like clams or squid. The squid was overcooked and rubbery unfortunately, so we didn't like it. In summary, this is one of the few authentic Chinese places in the area, the servers are friendly, and the food is good if you order the right dishes. My wife and I never really crave Americanized Chinese food, so we're grateful this kind of place is open.

Actually, we took out food from here two weeks in a row. We had spicy chicken with rice, which is actually popcorn chicken. The popcorn chicken was the best I've had. The flavor on the breading is delicious. I was a tea egg virgin. My son had described them to me, but I still didn't know what to expect. I really enjoyed the flavor of the egg and the fluffy yolk in the middle. I'm gonna try to make them at home. The plates come with rice, vegetables, and delicious tofu. The tofu was so soft and creamy. We also got Thai iced tea. The Thai tea was delicious and I like that they ask you how sweet you want it. They also ask you about the spice level of your food. We had the grilled salmon and spicy chicken wings as well. Everything was delicious, and the salmon was nicely grilled and flavorful. SERVICE: the service is excellent. It takes a minute for you to get your food, but it's always freshly prepared and delicious. AMBIENCE: it seems they only do a takeout business and they have a table in front of the doorway where you order and then wait for your food or call it in. I recommend calling it in.

Sad to see that their last day is May 11th. Would highly recommend people to try before their last day. Our latest visit was during lunchtime on a weekday. We were greeted upon entering and were told to choose whichever table we wanted. We ordered a Wintermelon Tea, Fried Pork Chop Rice, and the Century Egg Tofu. Food and tea came out quickly. Everything was so good and felt like comfort food that family would make. The pork chop was seasoned well and came with a tea egg, and vegetable sides of broccoli and tomato as well as soup. The tomato side reminds me of this tomato egg that we eat often. The century egg tofu was delicious. The tofu had a great texture -- soft, creamy, but also dense. The sauce that it came with was sweet, salty, and garlicky. The century egg was good. The winter melon tea was light on ice, well-balanced, and not too sweet. Overall, giving Formosan Restaurant a 5/5. Wish we started coming here sooner. Staff are nice, service is quick, prices are great, and the food is delicious. Highly recommend people to try if they haven't before. Will definitely be back before their last day.

Unfortunately we wont't be back because of the terrible service and unsanitary and hazardous conditions the owners keep this restaurant in. Such a disappointment. It was disgustingly humid, hot, sticky and stuffy. Felt like I was at a swamp. When I made a comment they just brushed it off and ignored it. How cheap are the owners to NOT turn on the AC when it's hitting 90s outside. Everything was sticky, the menu, the tables. The cushions on the seats were visibly dirty too. Right when you walk in the whole establishment smelled like shit. Literally like sewage, which smelled like stinky tofu. IYKYK. Restroom wasn't clean either, go figure. Another HUGE health violation occurred as well. There was a dog at another table sitting on the seat as if they're a paying customer. Clearly not a service dog. I absolutely love dogs but not at establishments that serve food that is sitting at the table. Especially if they're not working dogs, clearly this one was not a working dog. I would prefer not to have dog fur in my food. FYI this location violated health code regulations: "Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), service dogs are allowed in restaurants, but they must remain on the floor, not on seats or tables. Health codes prohibit animals on furniture to prevent contamination." This whole environment of the restaurant and its unsanitary health violations makes me question how clean this restaurant is. Because if it's stuffy and terrible ventilation along with no air conditioning in the dining area how bad is it in the kitchen??? Food made with some sweat. Yum.

Both the Signature Potstickers and Signature Dumplings have the same filling so I'm assuming it's the same if you were to order the Kimchi version. The Signature filling has a good amount of meat and veggies. I prefer the Potstickers because I found the crunchy texture better suited with the filling. The Corn Chowder was okay, it had corn and pork in it. It was simple so there wasn't anything bad or good about it. The employees are very kind and helpful! I asked the employee in the front if he preferred the Signature or Kimchi, and he told me he recommended the Signature first to try it out. I am now interested in trying out the Kimchi version too. The restaurant is clean and has plenty of seating. There is seating indoor and outdoors, there are water cups near the register, and a sauce station on the left side of the counter. There's Sesame Oil, Black Vinegar, Garlic Sauce, and Soy Sauce. I prefer Garlic Sauce the best! The restaurant also gets pretty cold so maybe bring a light jacket. When I went to the restaurant, there was only one person in line ahead of me, and most people seem to order take out. I would come here again to try out the noodles and the Kimchi potstickers!!
