If you've been seeking a Chinese restaurant that offers great tasting dumplings, perfectly cooked noodles, and refreshing smoothies in a comfortable and clean atmosphere, look no further. You Kitchen has it all just for you!
Before heading over to Alhambra Valley Bowl which happens to be right next door, I walked in here with the intention of ordering a few items for take-out. The owner, Mary, was welcoming and nice. Thanks Mary!
I got 3 items and 2 drinks...
*Shrimp Eggs Fried Rice - great wok flavor
*Xiao Long Bao (8 count) - tasty, but portion was on the smaller side
*You Kitchen Chives Fish Pan Fried Dumpling (10 count) - not a lot of flavor unfortunately, probably will not get again
*Papaya Milk Smoothie - refreshingly good, will get again
*Taro Milk Smoothie - just okay per my Mom
I came back on another day and ordered take-out again...
*Big Mouth Pancake with chicken - love the crispiness of the pocket, chicken need more flavor though, still a great choice... must get!
*Sichuan Dandan Noodles (sesame sauce) - it didn't have any protein just sauce and noodles, good texture on noodles, sauce was not too spicy
*Spicy Wonton - amazingly good, definite return to this one!
*You Kitchen Pork Cabbage Pan Fried Dumpling (10 count) - tasted a whole lot better than the last time, top pick!
*Red Bean Milk Smoothie - way too sweet for me, will not get again
Btw, they have frozen dumplings for purchase. You can buy them, take them home, and pan fry, steam, or boil them to your liking. They come in 50 count. Prices will vary by filling.
Overall ambiance was wonderful even though I didn't dine-in. I would love to come back and dine-in one day. Some prices were very reasonable, but other prices were a bit higher than norm for the item. Parking can be limited in the front of the plaza, but there is more parking in the back of the building. read more
