China Kitchen — Restaurant in Collegedale

I've been eating here since high school--almost 20 years! This is THE BEST Chinese food in Chattanooga. I've tried other local places and none of them compare. The lo mein is AMAZING.

**UPDATE: We got take-out on 3/1/18, and I ordered my usual wonton soup and chicken lo mein. It was good, but it wasn't the same quality that I expected. The wonton soup was not as flavorful as it has been. The lo mein noodles were different (looked more like fettucine noodles than Chinese noodles), and the veggies in the lo mein were different as well (cabbage? and maybe a couple of mushrooms instead of carrots, lots of mushrooms, and zucchini). I don't know who/what changed, but it makes me nervous. Please go back to the old way!!!

**UPDATE #2 Got take-out again on 3/23/18, and it was back to normal!...

This was our preferred Chinese place but the quality of the food seems to have gone down so we'll be ordering elsewhere. The chicken (general tsos and orange) was dry, chewy, and stringy. The egg rolls seemed under cooked and doughy. The fried rice was incredibly dry and has hardly any veggies. The egg drop wonton soup is more of a thick gloop than soup, with little flavor, but was better after watering down and adding some seasoning. Mongolian Beef was a bit lacking on the beef but was much more edible than the chicken. The restaurant itself doesn't seem super sanitary either. It was a good value when the food was good but not anymore...

This small restaurant is an amazing find in Collegedale. Orders are freshly cooked so the vegetables are hot, slightly crisp and have not been sitting under a steam lamp. My shrimp lo mein was loaded with shrimp and the lunch portion was enough for two meals. The dumplings were just as I like them, crisp on the outside and steaming hot on the inside. Service was very fast, even though they had a steady stream of take out orders. The price for a lunch portion of lo mein, which included a huge portion of fried rice, was $7.70. They have a wonderful menu of meat alternatives, too. This is worth a...
