Kitty's Kitchen - Manteca, California

We had lunch here today and we're very satisfied with the food and service. We had combos and family style , and everything was delicious and the portions were large enough to take leftovers home. I am glad kitties still going strong.

I arrived about 30 mins before closing. The restaurant was busy with take out orders, but I ate there. The service was the best. Had my drink & meal ordered quickly. The great service continued throughout my meal. I ordered Mongolian chicken, bbq pork, fried rice & chow mein. The food was delicious. The meats were tender, and everything was very flavorful. The meal was plentiful & I had great leftovers the next day. Overall it was a 5 star experience. I had not been here many times, though I live in the neighborhood. I will be back again soon.

⚠️ ⚠️ Warning ⚠️ ⚠️

⚠️Food not the same!

⚠️New ownership of Kitty's since March 2024.

⚠️Much smaller portions.

⚠️Fried rice or chow mein not from the same chef.

⚠️ Overwhelming amount of sauce ratio to less protein in side entrees now

⚠️A lot of huge chunks of onions

⚠️Very little of any other vegetable like 1 piece

⚠️If you order the combination plate your two side items will now only come with about 3 pieces of protein each which is not worth eating or paying for!!

The review below and pictures are from previous managenent Kitty's.

I went in on Tuesday afternoon August 27th, 2024 and was told they changed ownership back in March of this year.

They have all new cooks and recipes, it's not fair that they inherit Kitty's great reviews. Their new food is definitely of lesser quality. It's now a location that gives about 3 pieces of meat per entree item of choice. Heavily sauced a lot of huge chunks of onion and very little of any other vegetable worth eating. Their rice is now soy sauce colored and tastes like oyster sauce. It used to look like authentic pork and veggie fried rice. Now they suck. That sucks. I am not Asian or Chinese but I know for a fact that food sucks 😞 😔 I know good food and quality is why I do my reviews however this place went from a 5 star Chinese takeout location to 1 star! Sucks for y'all Manteca. Y'all sucked either way now y'all just suck more. Losers. Find better food. This place don't deserve the business. Their quality sucks and is less. Before kitty's served such portions that our dinner plates would last us 2 days, now I finished my order in one sitting and wasn't even filled up (combination plates now lacking huge amount of protein that Kitty's previous owners would serve, these new owners must be cheap greedy stingy and tight to customers. You get what you pay. Don't give them your dollar. Force them to either close or re sale because their food is not worth running a restaurant. Change your name as well maybe to Chinese food to go ⭐ not kitty's because you are not longer Kitty's, you now suck and make the old name look bad as you drag it down with your lesser quality food and taste. Sucks to suck like the kids say broooo 😉🙀🫵👎

My husband only received 2 shrimp in his house chow fun. We both thought it'd have more than 2 shrimp conveniently placed directly right on top when you open the container.

Size of plates/amount of food is not consistent. We received more this time than when we returned for a second time. Chow mein is definitely better the next day. My husband and daughter both said it looked like spaghetti noodles. Chow mein does not have a lot of vegetables at all. I'd like more cabbage and bean sprouts honestly don't remember tasting any at all. Rice was ok could have more bbq pork. Ordered beef broccoli and the square where it comes was 90% broccoli and only 10% beef, not enough beef. When I purchased Mongolian beef it was again mostly only bell pepper, onion, and carrots, very little beef. Not fair to skimp customers on beef.

We decided to try this restaurant tonight. It seems to stay pretty busy. They have about 8 tables for sit down dining and also do a good amount of take out and Door-dash orders.
Nice selection on their menu.I should have taken a picture to share but I was hoping for a to-go menu that I would have posted. Our server said that they are being reprinted with some new selections to try. By the way, the servers are very nice.
We started our meal with their Hot & Sour Soup. I really liked it. The soup was a little thicker than others I have tried but had a really nice flavor and just the right amount of heat. It could be a meal for a person if they just wanted soup. It was full of flavor and hearty.
We all ordered their combination meal. This allows a person to choose 2 items and comes with Fried Rice (Steamed Rice if you want) along with Chow Mein. The entree selections range from things like Sweet & Sour Chicken or Pork, Lemon Chicken, Mongolian Beef (Chicken), Beef(Chicken) & Broccoli as examples (to many to list). Nice sized meal for sure.
If in the area and want Chinese Food give them a visit.
I added some screenshots of their menu

How in the world did we not ever notice this place while living in Manteca Looked up Chinese food while in Town and this one pops up! We decided to dine in and wow just wow! Small place inside and very friendly employees! The lady that day was laughing and joking around with us and our boys so made it so much more comfortable. Food came out at a reasonable time and hot! Food was delicious and extremely flavorful!! Now when I mean extremely flavorful I don't necessarily mean salty but for example Dynasty in Modesto is our place and this one was a little more flavorful than Dynasty. For some people that don't do seasonings, well it might be too much lol I personally loved the orange chicken, chow mein and chicken and broccoli! The chicken teriyaki with plain chow mein was a kids plate and don't let the pictures fool you because it was more than enough and unfortunately we couldn't finish everything. Definitely try this place out if you can!

Way too expensive. $15 for one side? I'm good. They don't even have combo plates available anymore, at least ordering for delivery. I miss Silver Chopsticks and I'm assuming this place raised prices to not fall into the same fate. Really sad. Stockton has tons of places with combo plates for like $10 or less. Blows my mind.
