We used to have a Szechuan restaurant in Grand Rapids that I loved, so when it closed I was really sad. Now I'm happy again, because I finally visited My Kitchen and got my old favorite dishes and tried some new to me things! The interior is large and clean with plenty of seating. The menu has a lot of Szechuan options as well as more Americanized Chinese food. I went with items that I saw recommended here on Yelp: the fish with pickled cabbage (soup) and beef with cumin, as well as my favorite dish, pork with bamboo. It was a LOT of food but I was so happy to have leftovers because everything was so good. The fish with pickled cabbage came out first and it was a huge bowl. It was full of tons of super tender fish, thin noodles, and pickled cabbage. The broth was a bit sour and savory. I loved the flavors and the fish was incredible. Then the beef with cumin and pork with bamboo came out. Pork with bamboo is one of the first Szechuan dishes I ever tried and it's still one of my favorites. It's not at all spicy, so if you're not a big spicy food lover, don't worry as there are plenty of options for everyone. The pork was tender and juicy, and the bamboo had a nice texture. It's a very savory dish that is a little subtle but so good. The beef with cumin might be my new favorite - chunks of tender beef covered in delicious spices - this wasn't too spicy and you can avoid the pieces of pepper that are in there. It was so incredibly flavorful and delicious, and really different than other Chinese dishes I've had. I spoke with the owner and she said they've been open for two years. I'm so glad I got to experience this spot because it's some of the best food I've had in the area in a while. It's not close to my house but I will be making a point to stop in again to try more food!

It was an amazing experience here on my recent visit to My Kitchen. Totally unexpected as it was the best Asian / Chinese cuisine experience I've had in the GR area to date. Authentic dishes full of flavor and superb customer service, they exceeded my expectations. So I have been traveling to the GR area consistently for the past several months and have been searching for a really nice authentic Chinese restaurant. I dealt with a lot of hyped up places that were just medicore and under delivered. In fact I just experienced one of these a couple days prior to visiting My Kitchen and I was at my witts end. I read the favorable reviews here and it sounded promising so stopped in for some eats. Place is wide open inside with plenty of space. They have a large menu so I carefully went through it but I had my eye on the Salt & Pepper Shrimp and possibly the Fish in Spicy Chili Oil. She put my order in for both, however, to minimize my risk I told her I just wanted to try the S&P dish first and see how that goes. If it's good then I may order the Spicy Fish to go. No worries so she puts in my order. I love S&P Shrimp, but I am used to having it with the shells off while they serve it with shells on here. She said I can order without shells so that's what I did and the food came out in a timely manner. I was extremely happy with the quality and taste of this dish. Crispy shrimp, perfectly seasoned, tasted fresh and perfectly cooked too. I was very happy. She is from China and said she knows a lot of these dishes and maintains the authenticity. It was so good I ate half and wanted to try a different dish- she recommended the steamed dumplings w/ pork and the Spicy Squid 3 peppers dish. Ok let's go for it. They make their own chili oil and sweet duck sauce here and - WOW! You can tell because they are both awesome! Full if flavor- the chili oil has that awesome roasted flavor you'd expect yet it is not that spicy hot. The sweet sauce has the perfect balance of sweetness plus a hint of white pepper. It's honestly the best red sauce I've ever had as I typically avoid this sauce because it's always made too sweet like candy. But hers is just right. The Spicy Squid 3 Peppers was excellent! Light crispy coating and perfectly seasoned. The Steamed Pork Dumplings were also very good. I just poured their hot chili oil and the soy dipping sauce all over it and it was phenomenal. Local husband and wife own this establishment and they were so very nice and courteous. We talked a bit about their journey as they are both major foodies with sophisticated pallets. They both know Szechuan cuisine very well and said they strive to deliver a quality and authentic experience. Welll they certainly succeeded with this customer as all 3 of our dishes were superb. I will be back to try their Spicy Fish, Chicken Fried Rice, Sweet n Sour Soup, Dry Pot Fish, Sesame Chicken, Moo Goo Gai Pan, and Dry Pot Pork Ribs - all of which look appetizing. Yes - all of those are on my list - just not at same time. Regardless, I am very excited to have finally found my regular go-to quality Chinese Restaurant in GR!

Ok, I have more updates! I love Chinese food so much, so whenever I come here for some authentic Chinese food, I am just so ridiculously happy. I grew up eating authentic Chinese food so having a restaurant like My Kitchen in Grand Rapids is really refreshing. If you're coming here for the first time, get the string beans, Dry Pot Fish Fillet, beef with cumin, and fish fillet with pickled cabbage. I tell all my friends this. They are my favorite dishes there. I used to get the lamb with cumin, but the beef is a lot more tender. The string beans are so good - they use some Hong Kong spice with olive spice thing (I don't like olives, but it doesn't really taste like olives). They are usually fresh. One of my favorite dishes in general! The dry pot fish fillet was really good - I've gotten their other dry pots with red meat and they just haven't had too much meat mixed in, much to my surprise. But the fish was plentiful. Fish fillet with cabbage is a kind of soup - it is slightly sour and has noodles in it. The fish is soft and the flavor is just really great - if you don't like sour foods, maybe don't get this dish. It's not that sour, but enough so that you can taste it. The eggplant I got once and was good as well. Get the string beans!! And the beef with cumin dish!

Probably the best Chinese I have had so far in Grand Rapids. We came here on the premises of what we heard about it being an authentic Chinese restaurant. It did not disappoint and tasted very authentic. We had the hot and sour soup, three delight soup, vegetable fried rice, salt and pepper shrimp, Singapore noodles, lamb cumin, dry pot beef, and sesame chicken, and the squirrel fish. Everything was on point and very flavorful. The fish was nice and crispy as was the shrimp. The dry pot beef had potatoes that we all could not get over we loved that combination together. The prices were reasonable, and the waitress/hostess was helpful. We will definitely come back!

We came here during their Grand Opening in March. This is a new SICHUAN style restaurant, so they specialize in dishes that are sour/spicy/mala. Service wasn't as slow as we thought it would be for their first day - they only had 1 person cooking in the kitchen, and it took about an hour/hour and a half for us to get our dishes, but it wasn't a problem for us as we were expecting this. We ordered all traditional sichuan dishes - so no beef & broccoli, General's chicken, etc. Instead, we had tripe, sour fish soup, dry pot beef, spicy popcorn chicken, and lamb. The flavors that we were looking for were there, but it was a bit bland. Again, it was their first day, so I'm sure they were still perfecting their food. I haven't seen much advertising for them, but I hope that they perfect their craft, because we need a Sichuan style restaurant in GR! Please go support, and try something off of the Sichuan menu (if you like spicy and numbing flavors)!

So good! We recently tried this place and it's so good. It's a not your standard quick Chinese food restaurant. Their dry chicken with chili dish is SO GOOD it's spicy and tingly. The chicken is perfectly tender and breaded. Their Singapore noodles have a great savory curry flavor. I tired the moo goo gai pan as well and the chicken was tender and the flavor was good. This may be our new go to takeout Chinese place.

We ordered takeout and we had fast service and the restaurant looked very clean, and was very quiet. Our food was okay. Both of the lo mein was kind of bland in my opinion. The general chicken was sweeter than I was expecting and the fried rice was okay, but a little on the drier side. We had a pork egg roll and a spring roll and those were okay as well.

I can't say enough about the food at this place. Posting a few pics as i had the piece of mind to get photos before i tore into the plates as they came out last night when I dined there. Food is the highlight here--- understated, but spacious dining room but take-out is fine too. I like eating there cuz the food is sooo good coming out of the kitchen hot, crispy, perfect.

Finally, an authentic Sichuan restaurant in Grand Rapids. About cried happy tears today. I lived in China for 3 years and this flavor is what I missed the most. Definitely coming back and trying more of their menu. These ones are not that spicy if you can handle spice. Forgot to take pics of the crab Rangoon, but they're perfect. If you have ever tried authentic Chinese food, I would come here.

I'd go here any day any time. I went here for yesterday dinner and got myself the first one on the Fish menu and the stir fry bok choy. The first bite I had for Bok Choy was the most flavourful and savory taste I've ever had. My Chinese friends recommended me this place as the most authentic Chinese restaurant in the area and I most definitely agree. They have good deals for lunch, as well. I'm excited to try out different menu items in the near future!

We are from California and have many great authentic Chinese restaurants. We stay Grand Rapids for one night and looking for some Chinese food. I yelped and found this restaurant. It turned out it's way better than I expected. Everything we ordered were delicious! We ordered mapo tofu, green beans and orange chicken. 2 of us ate them all! If anyone looking for good authentic Chinese food I highly recommend this restaurant!

Highly recommend if you want to find REAL Chinese food in Grand Rapids. This is the ONLY SiChuan restaurant here.
