Proudly flexing its Currency Exchange and 20-by-20 square feet of space, this take-out-joint-that-could offers bargains galore. In addition to some steals on lunch specials, China Kitchen offers a good 24 options of far East standards like Kung Po chicken and Lo Meins for $4.95 each – all supported by chicken fried rice or white rice and an egg roll, with a bonus can of pop or bottled water. So high noon is always frequented by a class of area high-schoolers, propped up on the strip mall locale parking blocks, shoveling styrofoam boxed goods.

Otherwise, pay mind to deliverable specialties like Hawaiian Chicken and Four Happiness, both stocked with handfuls of meat ($6.25 for a small platter and $8.75 for the large). Although China Kitchen goes on like so for over 100 dishes, vegetarian avenues are limited to five “Diet Dishes” – greens like broccoli, bean sprouts and water chestnuts in garlic and oyster sauces ($3.85/small; $5.75), aside from noodles and fried rice.

And last mention goes to its “Family Dinners,” of which the neighborhood primarily supports. Four mouths can expect an egg roll apiece, large orders of Mongolian beef, sweet and sour chicken, orange chicken and combination fried rice for a little over $30.
