The Chinese Kitchen

Believe it or not, this is the best Chinese restaurant I've found so far in northeast Concord. One would not suspect this hole in the wall of being so. For some reason, the Chinese restaurants east if the Oakland hills are lackluster (excepting Great Wall) in Lafayette. The Chinese Kitchen is a happy exception. You will be underwhelmed by the decor. And, unfortunately, the tables are a tad sticky, and the service unenthusiastic - I suspect the owner-operators could use a good night's sleep. HOWEVER, the food is good. Their hot and sour soup is hot and sour, which is saying something, and the best I've had in the area. The owner, Wayland, has been at the restaurant for 27 years, when he began working it with his father. This place has been a Chinese restaurant since 1953. The original owners, father and son, retired and died. The restaurant does a good deal of takeout and delivery. Wayland serves as the delivery driver.

Wow! Tried a few Chinese food places here and this one is by far the most authentic and delicious Chinese food meal I’ve had in a long time! They recommended the chicken wings as an appetizer and it was absolutely amazing. Highly recommend!

Great food, especially chicken chow mein , pot stickers and chicken wings. My parents used to get food from here in the late 50’s same name and same place, of course I m sure different owners. 😊

I come here ALL the time. The owners are really sweet and they always make me a tofu dish even though it’s not on the menu. Their chow mien is super tasty and their servings are huge. Not to mention affordable! I normally get a tofu dish with chow mien and I have food for 3 days. If you’re looking for great local Chinese food, look no further.

We have had trouble finding a good Chinese restaurant and I believe our search is over. The food was so good. So good. Mmmm...

This plate will actually feed 2 people.. massive size portion. I have a burrito thermos that I put in my vehicle for the next time I go to this place. The food was excellent. And the service was helpful and attentive..

I was very happy with the food here. We ordered fried rice, steamed veggies, orange chicken, and BBQ Pork chow mein. Best orange chicken I've ever had. Will definitely come back again.

My favorite Chinese food in Concord. Hot braised prawns is my favorite. The food is always on point.

The best Chinese food in Concord (California),... period. ❤💜❤

Been a customer for more than twenty (20) years, and the food at The Chinese Kitchen restaurant Does Not ever leave me disappointed. ❤

I do have my favorites on the menu, but as I've branched out more on the menu over the years, I find myself increasingly adding more food items to my 'favorites list'. ❤

Once again, it's clearly Concord's best Chinese food restaurant. By far!!! 💜❤💙

It's located on 3426 Clayton Road, near the El Monte Shopping Center, across the parking lot from the Clayton Furniture store.

Go and give The Chinese Kitchen restaurant a try, trust me, they haven't been in business (with their level of excellent Customer Satisfaction, and their local loyal Customer Support fan base) this long for no good reason. ❤

First time visit for take out, expensive but the best salt and pepper shrimp we've tasted.

Great Food; Friendly Service

Very good. I ordered BBQ Pork Fried Rice, Shrimp Chow Mein, and Kung Pao Chicken. Everything was delicious. I cant wait to go back and try something a little more complex.

Favorite Chinese restaurant. Love the food. We've been getting our food here for years.

I love this little place! There salt and pepper prawns and Mangolian fried chicken is super tasty and is alway a must get with my fam. The service is great!

The spicy orange chicken with steamed rice is off the hook! The best deep fried prawns. Everything here is really tasty
