" To be honest, I'm a bit lukewarm about my experience at Hillside Kitchen. While the chicken broccoli was decent, the shrimp toast left a lot to be desired as it lacked shrimp flavor entirely. The service was friendly, and they were quick with my order, but when the food doesn't measure up to expectations, it can be disappointing. I think there are better places in the area that deliver more consistent flavors. " (*Curated Review*)

" What I love about Hillside Kitchen is its consistency. I have ordered everything from fried rice to General Tso’s chicken, and everything has been top-notch every single time. The portions are decent, and I always walk away satisfied. The wait times can vary, especially during busy weekends, but the quality of the food makes it worth it. The only thing that could be improved is the seating area; it's not an ideal spot for dining in as there aren't tables available. " (*Curated Review*)

" Hillside Kitchen was recommended to me by a friend, and I finally decided to give it a try. I ordered the General Tso's chicken and was pleasantly surprised! The chicken was perfectly crispy and not overly sauced, which I appreciated. However, the service was a bit slow, and my order wasn't ready when I arrived. While that was disappointing, the taste made up for it. The ambiance is simple; it's more of a takeout place, but the food is definitely worth it. I'll likely return but will call ahead next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing great things about this restaurant, I decided to try it for myself. I ordered a variety of dishes for a small get-together; unfortunately, it didn't live up to my expectations. The beef and broccoli tasted off, as if something was wrong with the meat, and the egg rolls were a bit soggy. The staff was friendly when I communicated my concerns, but it didn't change my disappointment in the food quality. I hope this was just an off day for them. " (*Curated Review*)

" After many visits, I can confidently say that Hillside Kitchen offers one of the best Chinese takeout experiences in town. Their chicken and broccoli is a staple in my household, and I have never been disappointed with it. The only downside is the rather monotonous decor, but as a loyal customer, I prefer quality over ambiance any day. Service can be a bit slow when it’s crowded, but the quality dishes always make up for it. " (*Curated Review*)

" Coming here was recommended by a few friends. I must say, I was not disappointed! The spicy garlic tofu was a new favorite; perfectly crispy on the outside, tender on the inside! The staff was courteous and made sure everything was right with my order. I am definitely coming back to try other items on the menu. A little crowded, but when good food is involved, I didn’t mind the wait at all! " (*Curated Review*)

" I just had to write this after my most recent visit! The food was as exceptional as ever. I always order the sweet and sour chicken, but this time, I also tried their Singapore Mai Fun. I cannot express how wonderfully spicy and delicious it was! The staff are always friendly, and even during their busiest hours, they make you feel welcome. One tip, call your order ahead to avoid waiting. I'm glad I could finally find a Chinese restaurant I love in this area. " (*Curated Review*)
