Reviews summary

Cathay Kitchen boasts a diverse array of Chinese cuisine, but recent reviews indicate a notable inconsistency in food quality and service. While some diners sing praises for the flavorful dishes and quick delivery, others have encountered cold, tasteless rice, and long wait times. Service issues also arose, with complaints about unhelpful staff. Despite these setbacks, many loyal customers appreciate the generous portions and friendly atmosphere. Though some are considering alternatives, the restaurant remains a popular choice for its appealing menu and commitment to customer satisfaction. Consistency, however, seems to be a growing concern.

We got chicken curry and an order of sauteed pea pods and they were both drowning in brown gravy. It was more like soup than a regular dish, and you get less food and half sauce. Plus they didn't even remind us to order rice.

The food was ok, the rice was not seasoned well but the beef was mid. Don’t think this was worth the price at all. I personally wouldn’t go there again, this was my first and last time!

As a CPA deep in the middle of tax season, I'm finding that this sesame chicken and pork fried rice combo is delivering just the right amount of joy, melting away my stress with every bite. The pork-to-fried rice ratio is fantastic, packed with a generous number of pork chunks that provide a solid source of protein. The sauce on the sesame chicken is delightfully tangy, reminiscent of Trader Joe's orange chicken, but made with love by an Asian family. I typically eat half and save the rest for later, which makes for a great portion size considering the price. Honestly, Panda Express can't compete with Cathay Kitchen. This meal satisfies my cravings for Chinese food, and paired with 200mg of caffeine from a can of Celsius, I feel energized and ready to tackle taxes on a Saturday! Woohoo!

I absolutely love this restaurant! They serve high-quality food and the staff is very friendly. I typically order for delivery, and it always arrives within 20 to 30 minutes, no matter how busy they are. The food comes hot and fresh every time. I will definitely order again!

I ordered the pork fried rice combo. The chicken wings and beef teriyaki were decent, but the rice was terrible. It was cold, lacked any pork, and had no flavor. I suspect there may be new management in place. I had considered ordering for Christmas and New Year's, but I will pass on that now.

The Chinese food at this restaurant is consistently delicious. They have a great phone system that recognizes repeat customers, and their website makes it easy to place orders even if I don't have a menu. This is my go-to place for Chinese food.

I have to mention that I placed an order early on in the pandemic, and it was my first time ordering from this restaurant in many years. I was somewhat disappointed with my meal. However, after speaking with someone from the restaurant, they were very understanding and accommodating. I decided to give them another chance last week, mainly due to the convenience of delivery. I must say, the food quality was exceptional. Thank you, Cathy's Kitchen! The portion sizes were generous, but what stood out the most was the delicious taste of the meal. The personal note I received from the restaurant expressing their gratitude for our order has made me a loyal customer once again. Thank you. Yeee-Cimeno.

The food is really good! It is literally my goal for Chinese food search! The delivery is really fast and the workers are really friendly. The delivery girl wearing glasses and a Scooby-Doo shirt was particularly sweet! Overall, the food and service is excellent!

My wife and I order out every other weekend. Cathay Kitchen is at times our “go-to” place to order from. Compared to other Chinese cuisines this is by far the best to order from. However, I did read other reviews and one in specific, really caught my attention. “Cathay Kitchen is good, but at times the food is very inconsistent.” Very true! Sometimes you’ll get the best ribs, and others you’ll just get some overcooked, dry ribs. Overall Cathay Kitchen is a very good place to order from. I’ve physically been inside Cathy’s kitchen and it seems like a very clean, good hygiene environment. The price is good, the people and drivers are very nice. If you’re looking for a quick, quality Chinese food, Cathay Kitchen has to be one of the best options available.
