" On the whole, I have nothing but good things to say about Cathay Kitchen. The food is prepared with skill and you can taste the quality in every bite! We often get takeout for family dinners and each time it never disappoints. I particularly enjoy their spicy garlic beef. It's flavorful but not overwhelming, with just the right amount of spice. The portions are also generous. A solid five out of five! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was seriously excited for my first visit to Cathay Kitchen after hearing such positive feedback. However, I left feeling somewhat underwhelmed. The food was fine but didn’t live up to the hype. The spicy garlic beef was nice, but the fried rice was bland. The service started out strong but grew a bit spotty as the night went on. There’s potential here, but they need to get the consistency right. " (*Curated Review*)

" I tried with a couple of friends and we really enjoyed our visit at Cathay Kitchen. The atmosphere was welcoming and cozy. Each dish we ordered was well cooked and very satisfying. I was particularly impressed with their fried rice -- it had a light flavor that wasn’t overpowering. Some reviews mentioned the service is hit or miss, but we had no issues. Our server was prompt. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Cathay Kitchen is a hidden gem in the area. The variety in their menu stands out, especially the authentic dishes like the crab fried rice and their handmade noodles. You can tell the staff takes pride in their food prep. Fish entrees are a must-try, fresh and delicious! This place doesn’t skimp on flavor either, so if you’re like me and prefer spice, they can accommodate your heat levels. Highly recommended for food lovers! " (*Curated Review*)

" Alright, I’ve been there only once so I can’t say for sure, but it was a good experience overall. We ordered a variety of dishes to share: fried rice, orange chicken, and sweet and sour shrimp. They all tasted fresh and flavorful. I found the ambiance to be pleasant too, not too noisy, perfect for dining out. I’m not sure if it beats my favorite Chinese place, but I’m willing to give it another shot! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family recently celebrated a birthday at Cathay Kitchen and it was fantastic! The staff did a wonderful job accommodating us, and the food was delicious! We ordered a variety of items like crab rangoon, sweet and sour chicken, and their special fried rice. Everything was cooked perfectly, and the atmosphere was festive. Highly recommend for any occasion! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a bad experience on my latest visit. First, the wait was much longer than expected, and when the food arrived, it was lukewarm – definitely not the ideal way to enjoy some dumplings. The crab rangoon was also inconsistent; some were crispy, while others were soggy. Overall, I’d say that this place typically has great service and food, but my latest experience was a letdown. " (*Curated Review*)
