The food here is fantastic. Love this place. Would bring my in-laws and picky eaters here. The perfect family run local Chinese spot. We ordered the garlic chicken combo, General Tso tofu, and vegetable fried rice. The combo came with a side of soup and an egg roll and rice. We picked hot and sour soup, vegetable egg roll, and fried rice for the options. I was most impressed with the fried rice. It was hot and steamy and fresh. It was not oily or greasy at all. All of the vegetables tasted good. Nothing was soggy or overcooked. The char flavor from the wok came through incredibly. I've paid a lot more for fried rice that's not even 1/10 as good as this. Was very excited to see that wood ear mushrooms were used for the hot and sour soup. This is really hard to find. You can tell they don't just use a powder mix - the egg and tofu were also very silky and not hard or overcooked. The garlic chicken was definitely also a surprise. It actually tasted like garlic and chicken! They didn't just use a whole bunch of jar garlic. I actually did not see any pieces of jar garlic at all, which was great! But the garlic flavor was absolutely delicious and very prominent. I did not get a picture of the general tso's tofu, but it was excellent; crispy on the outside and silky on the inside. Paired perfectly with steamed rice. It's really hard to find a place that does tofu well. I will definitely go out of my way to come back here again. We had no issues or problems with the service. It was exactly as it should be. They took our order, brought our food and then let us pay when we were done. It was perfect for me. No interruptions to our conversation. The food was very hot and fresh. You could hear them cooking it right away as the waiter called out the order to the line. Nothing came from a steam pan or was reheated in the microwave, it was made to order. Everything was fresh and stayed very hot. read more

This place is great! If you're looking for an affordable and yummy dinner in Redlands, look no further than Open Kitchen. I come here for their combination plate for like $13 where you get soup, egg roll, rice, and a meat dish. I've gotten the orange chicken dish combo with fried rice, hot and sour soup, and an egg roll every time I've come in. You get a good sized portion of food that I usually have to get a to go box for and I'll have dinner for the next night too. Pretty good deal. I'll need to try some of the other combo plates soon too. Sitting inside is nice, the servers mostly leave you alone (good thing for me lol) and get you your food as it's ready. It's always chill and a super quick meal for a good price. Def gonna be a dinner spot for me at least once a week when I don't feel like making dinner! read more

Had Open Kitchen bookmarked for a while and finally Door-dashed some today! We ordered their Hunan beef and General Tso combination with egg rolls, white rice and hot and sour soup, along with a full-size order of their Open Kitchen chicken (which was my favorite) and vegetable chow mein. The amount of food was enough for two people and a bit extra for another meal. Everything tasted fresh and was very flavorful, except for the hot-and-sour soup, which wasn't my favorite. My husband and I agreed that this feels more like a sit-down Chinese restaurant than the fast Chinese food you get at the mall or other places. Definitely planning to come back to try (or order) more dishes! Make sure to check them out on DoorDash, as they seem to run some good promos like $10 off your order. read more

At Open Kitchen, it's like the name savs. Tastes like my childhood food, growing up my dad used to take mne to a similar place. Although the fast Chinese fooc taste, everything is made as you order and you car see them make it. This place is old school and serves you family plate portions and prices, iust like we Asians do. There may be a few orders that are bowls but everything else is plate to order portions so be prepared to eat a lot or share. I usually order steamed rice, regular or vegetable fried rice, vegetable chow mein. read more

Open Kitchen - Steamed Rice & Vegetable Chow Mein - Chinese Near Me - Redlands, California

Love this place! It has great food, great service, and you can't beat the ambiance....hint, look for the UFO ;) This place has been around for years. When I lived in Redlands, I ate here weekly. I moved away to San Diego, then Palm Springs, and stop in when ever I can. Nothings changed, everything's still the same, great! I had the Kung Pao Chicken (my usual); and as usual it was so delicious! The chicken is hot and freshly cooked to order. The sauce, veggies and peanuts really go great together. The meal comes with a veggie egg roll, soup (hot and sour or egg drop soup), rice and a drink. I always get the hot and sour soup, love it!! The egg roll is always crispy. The service is always friendly and fast. The ambiance has a little mystery...find the UFO. read more

Horrible rude service upon entry, nobody was even eating there at lunch time, the kitchen workers were sitting down doing nothing . The rude employee taking my order kept saying they don't accept my bank and I need to have a different card so I left. And it's overpriced 16$ for some chicken and rice read more

This place Is a great local dine-in/take out spot! My Family and I have been coming since i was in middle school. As of the last six months or so, I have been coming almost once every week, for either lunch or dinner. As you walk in, you see their cooks in the back making everything fresh... To add to that, you are served on paper plates (so you know the food is going to be ). At first they may seem quick, unwilling to help, and even rude (we experienced this), but understand they're trying to run a business, and they e been around this long for a reason - their quality food. A few sugestiona i will make to ensure you a smooth experience: Come with thick skin, and don't take anything personal - it's not, look at a menu before hand - and know what you want, lastly try not to ask too many questions... Just embrace the journey. I will say, after YEARS of coming to this place, they have finally (within the last year or so) warmed up to my Family and I. The restraunt itself isn't fancy, so don't come expecting a nice dine-in dinner - it won't be that. However,you can rest assured the food is going to be delicious! read more

This has been our go to place for years anytime we want comfort takeout food!!! My favorite is the open kitchen chicken! read more

Solid go-to for casual Chinese takeout or a quick dine-in. The kung pao chicken and beef & broccoli are reliably tasty, with fresh ingredients and flavorful sauce. Even on busy nights, the staff is prompt and efficient, so I never wait long. The dining area is basic--could use some ambiance-- but it's clean and functional. Plus, I love the plate menu setup for easy ordering. Soup is decent, and their fried rice is generous with big portions. My only downside? It can be hit or miss on texture--like soggy wontons sometimes--and it's not a fancy night-out spot. But for cozying up at home or a chill dinner after work? Totally reliable. read more

Food was prepared quickly and very tasty! I had the lunch combo and it was very filling.

This restaurant came highly recommended for a coworker. After ordering and arriving home we fixed our plates to eat. I started noticing all of what is considered filler in the restaurant business inside of the food ordered. I ordered kung pao spicy beef had a lot of bell peppers ( Red&Green) and onions, along with peanuts. It was not even spicy! Sure glad I'm not allergic to peanuts since they didn't mention that on the menu or when ordering. The cream cheese wontons were frozen not freshly made. They were hard along the ridge of the wonton from freezer burn. The spring rolls were very tasty! The portion of rice served with the Togo food is incredible small. I would not recommend this business if you are hungry. read more

Open Kitchen - Hot and sour soup - Chinese Near Me - Redlands, California

If you are looking for delicious food at an extremely affordable price, Open Kitchen is the place for you. I've never had a bad meal here and my favorite are definitely their noodles. Everything this fanatically seasoned and the staff are very nice. What you won't get is a gourmet experience, but they definitely make up for in flavor. It can be a little off putting that you're serving food on paper utensils but hey it works. This is the embodiment of work smarter not harder. Take our is also very easy to do here. Just call a head and pick up within 10-15 minutes. I just wish they delivered or partnered up with a delivery service, but that's just me. read more

Delicious food. Great service. Quick takeout options. The combination meals are a great deal. It usually feeds me twice.

First time at Open Kitchen my wife was getting her nails painted at the spa next to it so i thought i would give it a try. Inside was clean a little unorganized but clean nonetheless the Kitchen was clean as well. It lives up to its name with its Open Kitchen that you can see into. My food came out in about 4 to 5 minutes and it was very hot and steamy I got the combination for $11.75 it had Orange chicken, your choice or rice a soup and a egg roll. The Chicken was flavorful and had a nice crunch. The egg roll and soup were hot and delicious. The rice was bland and lacking flavor. (Fried Rice) If Im being honest the duck sauce was despicable I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy!!! Other than that the meal was amazing. Next time I'll probably get the beef and broccoli and I do recommend this for a quick bite or a dinner with the family. read more

This is the best Chinese food place in the Inland Empire. Super friendly staff and the food is Michelin star worthy.

My Husband and I went To Open Kitchen Today From A Recommendation From A Friend. We Get There They An A Letter Grade , Nice Little Crowd . Folks Ordering Take Out. Food Smelling Good . We Get Menus. Looking To See What We Want. We Hear This Sound We Look Up It Was The Woman Cashier Hacking Loogie In The Trash At The Front Counter. That is Not The Place To Do That . It Was So Nasty We Left. Never Ever Will We Be Back. My Husband A Strong Man , But This Took Him Out. Really Sad Heard Food Was Good . read more

My first time coming here. The older lady was so RUDE to my family and I for no reason. There was no line and we were not sure what we wanted to order and needed a few minutes to look over the menu. She instantly got annoyed with us. After spending $90 on dinner- take out. She just handed me the food without saying anything to me. It would of been nice to hear "Thank You, Have a good night!" The food is not worth the money. I read the other bad reviews and I must say they are true I took a picture of the rude lady so you know who I'm talking about if your decide to go eat there. If you experience the same rudeness write a review on Yelp. Everyone should know how she runs her business! I will not be returning! Learn to treat your customers with appreciation and kindness because we can go somewhere else and spend our hard working money! read more

Food was alright. The spicy beef wasn't spicy enough, in my opinion. Came with mostly veggies, which was unfortunate. The veggies consisted of onion, bell pepper, and celery. The best part of my meal were the Fried Cheese Wontons and at that, they were not that crispy. read more

I've eaten here a few times and it's pretty good. Food is made to order so it's a step above other fast food Chinese food, where there is a display case of food. First thing, when I called I had no clue what the lady at the restaurant was saying very hard to understand. I ordered the orange chicken (like almost every one else). It was pretty good, better than most places but it wasn't great. It was good. Some pieces had a lot of chicken and some pieces were just breading. The beef and broccoli was very good. The beef was tender and the broccoli was cooked very good, not too soft and not too hard. The chicken chow mein was also better than most places. I would definitely recommend this place. read more

We ordered few times as to go order. I haven't been dining in. The place located near by Stater Brothers in Redlands. Inside is spacious and brightly lit. As the name said, Open Kitchen; literally you can see the kitchen while dining. Service is fast and seems efficient. Picking our to go food is a breeze. As for the taste, so far they are all average Chinese foods to go. Great price and portions. My Open Kitchen Chicken lunch special is a little bit salty to my taste. The spicy beef is great and soft. Overall, is good. read more
