Mk’s Asian Kitchen

The Mongolian beef is excellent. The portions and price are fair. She never forgets your name. I love that you always know what you are getting.

Food is great, but get it to go. The place smells like the nail salon next door! Best Chinese food around, well worth the drive over from Auburn!

Very friendly staff. Food is just average at best. I had ordered the beef spring rolls with my meal to go. Got back to my hotel and started eating to find the spring rolls were not fully cooked inside. They were some kind of gooey. Disgusting! The main dish was just ok. The fried rice… maybe they do it different for y’all here in Alabama, but I have never had corn in my fried rice.
If you have a Panda Express nearby do a comparison. I am not a big Chinese food guy because of all these little shops.

Customer service was absolutely horrible! I work in tiger town and went to MK’s for lunch. I ordered carryout so my food would be ready when I got there for my 30min lunch. The owner informs me that I cannot eat my carryout inside the restaurant and tells me to go eat outside. I was shocked and appalled by this. I will never return to this restaurant again.

I lived in San Francisco before moving to Al., and M.K.‘s is the closest Chinese food I’ve had to the «real thing». I always get the «House Lomain», and love it so much, I can’t make myself order anything else.

Love this place! Great food and the owner is a sweetheart. My family has eaten there for years and she always remembers our names and our favorite dishes. I’ve never had a bad dish. The spring rolls are on point. My only complaint is that it is a small place so sometimes you have to wait for a seat, especially on Sunday’s. However, it’s a great place. And you can always take out!

Best option we’ve found in Auburn-​Opelika area for Chinese. Very solid menu and well prepared. Not a lot of dine in room or atmosphere, but food wise… a very good choice. Would like to see them add homemade egg rolls to the menu. A solid place for pick up orders and they have friendly staff and owners.

Best Chinese food in Auburn! The egg drop soup is my favorite! The service is always great and I have always had good experiences here :)

I would give the food 3 stars, but the service is definitely a 5. The restaurant is unassuming… It can probably hold 40 or so people. Everyone was very kind and my server was incredible. I had the Kung Pao chicken lunch special. The flavoring was very delicious, however I was surprised that there weren’t many veggies in the dish. I got three pieces of broccoli and that was it. There nice sized portion of both the chicken and the fried rice, especially for the price. The spring roll that I received with my meal was mediocre. I would see if I could substitute it for something else next time. I will be back to try again!

Love this place! You can’t go wrong with the wonton soup, dumplings, or any noodle dish! Everyone is so nice here and it’s such a laid back place, great for unwinding after shopping!

Only Asian food I eat in this area! Owners are very nice and food is always fresh and delicious.

People extremely nice, hate to do this but being over 2000 miles from home was looking forward to some hot and sour soup, sesame chicken, spring rolls. and fried rice which is what I picked up here and took back to the hotel. Ate half of it, threw the rest out. Chicken was extremely small portion, and deep fried with a honey tasting sauce on it. Hot and sour soup was not very good, and the beef spring rolls tasted weird. Not bad or rotten or something that will make you sick, just not very good. I’ve eaten at Chinese places in dozens of states over dozens of years so am not being overly harsh, it just was not very good. Sorry, maybe if someone from Alabama came out to the LA area they wouldn’t like our Chinese food. Don’t know, just won’t go here again.

Try the secret menu. Chinese have to try the Dachang. The Asian beef and eggplant are awesome!

Favorite restaurant in the area!!! It has been our go-​to place over the last 3 years for any eating out occasion from a quick lunch during errands to a Friday night dinner out.
The food is excellent quality, reasonably priced, and I like the portion sizes. I have liked everything I’ve tried. My favorites are the hot and sour soup, Szechuan tofu, and the spicy eggplant dish that isn’t on the menu. The food is just so consistently fresh, delicious and perfectly cooked. I’m craving some dumplings writing this review! For authentic Chinese food or Americanized favorites, this place is just the best.
I think the best part about this restaurant ls the owner. Ironically her name is Shai (sp? shy) but she is the friendliest person. She has known us by name since our third visit. She even remembers my husband’s parents’ names who came to visit once. She is so friendly and makes us feel very welcome as if we are eating in a friend’s home.

My dinner started off badly; the wontons were severely undercooked but the waitress was quick to fix everything and then the owner came over and made sure everything was alright with the rest of my meal.
The Lo Mein I ordered for the main dish was well seasoned and wasn’t heavy or greasy like you usually find in lower quality Asian buffet restaurants. After I was finished, the owner came back over, asked how everything was and then refused to take my money for the meal. I left a generous tip.
There are a lot of things outside of the actual food that makes a meal either enjoyable or not; the overall atmosphere and attitude of Mk’s Asian Kitchen added a great deal to my dining experience. A cubbyhole in a strip mall can be every bit as good as a fancy stand alone restaurant with statues of horses outside and I would wager that the staff and owners care more about the individual diner too!

I have been to many different Chinese restaurants but this is, hands down, one of the best.
There are excellent choices, the usual ones and some I don’t always see on menus. The lunch special was really affordable and was the perfect portion. The people in there were all very kind and cared about their customers. And the food. Oh the food. It was so fresh. I had the teriyaki chicken and my husband had the mongolian beef and both were amazing.
Great food, lovely people, very affordable. We can’t imagine getting our Chinese food from anywhere else now!

My parents and I stopped here for a quick lunch while shopping in TigerTown. The food was very good – comparable to the quality we get at the local Chinese restaurant that we frequent. The portion sizes weren’t crazy big either, which was a good thing, as I couldn’t have taken anything home for later!

NO HAIR PLEASE
Halfway through the meal, I found myself chewing on a six inch long and very thick black hair. I informed the waitress of this and she asked me what I wanted them to do. I told her that I did not plan on finishing the meal and that I did not think I should have to pay for the soup or plates my wife and I were having. She informed me that I was expected to pay for everything that did not have hair in it. She did not like my next comment and proceeded to create quite an embarrassing scene in the half full restaurant. I asked to speak with an owner who never appeared but did communicate with the waitress that we did not have to pay for the meal. TERRIBLE DINING EXPERIENCE.

I don’t know if this is just me, but one of my favorite things about eating Asian cuisine is that normally, you get a run for your money. This means huge portions for a decent price. At MK’s this isn’t really the case.
Now before you storm off, let me just say that MK’s has really excellent quality food. I ordered Shrimp Lo Mein, Crrab Ragoons, and some Friend Rice and it was all especially delicious — even the Fortune Cookies seemed to taste really good!
The place is tiny, so it’s not the greatest for a large group but it does have a cozy feel and the place is very tidy and relaxed. Doesn’t feel like a gross, greasy place you might normally expect for a take-​out (which is a popular option since the restaurant is so tiny)
My friends and I tried this place for post-​birthday grub and I definitely don’t regret it. As I said, definitely good quality food but not the biggest portions so definitely keep that in mind when ordering.

This place definitely will NOT feed you enough especially since you know we go family style. I ordered the Shrimp Lo Mein and I left the restaurant feeling only half-​filled. And since I eat bowls of chili at a time, this says something.
The food is not bad. It’s the best Asian food I had in Auburn since last year but that’s no really saying much. The business does really well and it’s really packed around dinner time on Saturday with many to-​go orders. When you order any entrée (except noodles), they serve it with «fried rice» but it’s really just white rice and soy sauce. One of my friends got hot and sour soup which didn’t taste sour nor was it hot. My other friend got won ton soup but after one sip, she put it down. Don’t order soup here.
The service was terrible. They did not have enough people working. You have to call for their attention or they will never come to you. This shouldn’t be a problem if you want to take baby steps to experiencing an authentic Chinese restaurant.
