david's kitchen

not good. i have worked in the area of this restaurant for number of years and finally trieddavid'skitchen out for lunch. we got take out and it they brought out our order in about 1 minute (not a good sign). i'm not a huge fan of chinese food but i don't mind it when it is good. i had the kung pao chicken lunch special. the egg drop soup had vegetables that tasted freezer burnt, obviously frozen. it's pretty difficult to screw up fried rice but this just had a weird taste, no egg, and obviously frozen vegetables. th kung pao was awful. chicken was gross, sauce was bland, weak vegetables. the egg roll was not bad it was the only thing i could finish.

not sure how you could call this the best chinese food in slc? so bad i wouldn't give it another chance. i can over look certain things but when the food is bad the rest doesn't matter. the only reason i gave it two stars is because the lady who helped us was very nice.

regular customer & always like it!. i moved to slc in early 2005 and the realtor i was working with took me todavid'skitchen and the rest is history. months later i stumbled across it driving around since i didn't really know where they were at and i have always liked what i always order-- pot stickers, house fried rise, shrimp lo mein and sweet & sour chicken or general tso's chicken. i liked their flavors and i think it's one of the better chinese fast-food places type restaurants in slc. nine years later and i still recommend it and like it. true that some of the waitresses are not the friendliest, i still go there and enjoy the food. however, if you're looking for high quality chinese, you have to travel to davis county to the mandarin. if you want to say in slc,david'skitchen won't disappoint.

not bad, not that good either. so, six of us traveled from draper, todavid'skitchen at 3pm on monday to see if it was truly the best chinese restaurant in slc. we were the only ones there. older lady says they are closed, then younger lady says, no, they are open and seats us. only 4 of us get drinks. two lady's slouching behind cash register, ignoring us. we finally get younger ones attention. she rudely says "wait a minute!" and keeps talking to her friend. later she brings rest of sodas and takes orders. food was ordered as separate combination dinners, but items were brought out separately every few minutes, not as complete meals. fried rice was just ok, but lacked much flavor. egg drop soup was thick and heavy. egg rolls and sauce were good as well as pot stickers. the rest was sort of generically salty and runny with squares of meat and hard vegetables.

later, when we were all outside, one of us rated it a 7 out of 10. the rest agreed, and decided it wasn't worth going back to. for the price, and if you dont mind driving downtown, pf chang is still the best.

good take out. we really enjoyed our take out fromdavid'skitchen. we normally don't choose chinese food, mainly because i think it can be boring, but our choices fromdavid'skitchen were great. we ordered the potstickers, based on everyone's stellar reviews, the general chu's chicken, and the walnut shrimp. we found all of them to be fabulous. we have only three (small) complaints: 1. the shredded pork in garlic sauce was too spicy for us and our small kids; however, it's possible the "spicy factor" was marked on the menu and i didn't see it. 2. they didn't offer a lot of vegetable dishes. although they did have vegetarian selections, i couldn't tell if any of them were, like, stir-fried veggies. this brings me to my final complaint: 3.david'skitchen could describe their dishes in more detail on the menu.

some of the best chinese.david'skitchen, while occasionally featuring americanized chinese, is one of the best places to go for chinese food. i recommend starting immediately with and order of potstickers;david'sare better than any i've had (and i've had a lot.) i think the reason i am so partial to these potstickers is 1) they are incredibly soft and moist with a perfectly crunchy bottom and 2) the sauce that goes with them, a combination of chili oil (made with fresh ground chili's) and an in house soy sauce involving mirin and wine, pairs perfectly with these delicious dumplings. if you are one who prefers the sweeter side of life, there is no question but to go with the walnut shrimp. a plethora of liightly battered tempura shrimp that are coated in a sweet honey sauce and then topped with sugar coated walnuts. there is no going wrong with this dish. my personal favorite, which is not on the menu, is the steamed schezwan tofu. soft steamed tofu triangles in a light and fragrant schezwan sauce tossed with plenty of delicious and crisp vegetables. as if delicious chinese food wasn't enough,david'shas an added and welcome surprise: and excellent alcoholic drink mixer.david'sused to be attached to a bar called gino's, and it was here that henry picked up on many tricks of the trade involved in bartending. as a result, he makes killer alcoholic beverages, one of the best being his bloody mary. definitely not a restaurant to miss.

crowd pleaser. you know that crowd at the back of the restaurant that seems oblivious to the existence of the rest of the world? laughing, having i'm good time, acting like they own the joint? i'm often in that crowd at david's. it's a venue of choice when my friends get together. it's always suggested by someone, and always agreed upon by all. the can't miss dish atdavid'sis sesame beef. other great dishes would be the pot stickers and walnut shrimp.

i need to give a shout-out to my new favorite chinese restaurant in slc.david'skitchen may sound like the last place you would get great asian cuisine, but it is an absolute treat. very generous portions, and each dish i have tasted has been incredible.
