Northside Asian Kitchen 6737 US Highway 98 North, Lakeland, FL 33809

"I order bourbon chicken and I’ve had it twice before and no problem, it was fresh and so good it kept me coming back for this order. But today I order the same dish I always order and it has horrible. Chicken was hard, dry. Not flavorful at all. Maybe they had a different chef back there, idk? But I will not be going back any time soon. I have to be desperate hungry for bourbon chicken to wanna go back to this location. So now ima having to go find something else to eat cause I’m hungry. Spend over 13 dollars for so hard, dry chicken so disappointed."

"Not very often anyone raves about Chinese takeout but here, this is one place that deserves the accolades! The staff was by far 10/10 and the pork fried rice; exceptional! The whole meal was perfect. Only complaint is the continued “Covid” precautions. The atmosphere is very awkward."

"Very disappointed, I placed an order and wanted to pay cash when I got there. They would not place my order without a credit card payment, or I could pick it up at 5:00, my requested time and THEN they would cook it once I paid for the order. The lady who answered the phone said it's because I had not been there since January of 2022, I have never placed an order without picking it up or stiffed them in anyway, it's just a sad state when you want to pay cash and get penalized for doing so. I will not be ordering from North Side Asian Kitchen again, what hut the most is the lady who answered the phone could have cared in the least..."

"First and last visit. TAKE OUT ONLY. You can walk in just far enough to place and order, then asked to go outside and wait 15 min. In your car. I had recently had open heart surgery and cannot walk far or stand very well. So I asked if I could pull a chair over and sit inside. The rude girl told me they can't do that because they are not licensed. She offered to bring a chair outside to my car so I could sit there and wait. Think about that for a minute.... so I went over and slid a chair over by the door. She came over and read me the riot act. I gave her a choice. Let me sit, or pick me up from the floor.... So I sat. Now, about the food. I ordered fried rice. I asked for the normal one. It came with the standard fare. Peas, bean shoots, carrots, etc. But, no scrambled egg or ham. The taste was average at best. The other item I ordered was the Generals Chicken. It looked like the exact same chicken as sweet and sour chicken, but with different sauce. Again, average taste here. Portion size was okay for each. Overall, it appears that are not making any profit at all and cutting corners to remain open. The food isn't going to do that alone as it is lacking. The poor help won't help either, nor will the pile of tables and chairs in the corner. I wont be back again."
