David’s Kitchen sits quietly along 3300 South in Salt Lake City, serving a steady stream of locals craving straightforward, well-executed Chinese dishes. This full-service restaurant feels like a reliable spot where families and longtime fans come for familiar flavors rather than flashy trends. The interior offers a modest, comfortable atmosphere — not overly formal, but arranged to handle both quick lunches and relaxed dinners with ease.

The menu reflects classic American-Chinese fare with a few standout dishes that have clearly earned loyal followings over decades. Options like General Chu's Chicken, potstickers, and their house fried rice form the backbone of the experience, each plate coming freshly prepared and balanced to satisfy without overwhelming. The restaurant’s family dinner combos make it easy to share a variety of flavors, appealing especially to groups who want a bit of everything without the fuss of ordering à la carte.

David’s Kitchen works best for those looking for a casual and familiar meal — families gathering for a tradition, coworkers grabbing lunch, or anyone wanting a comforting, no-frills takeout or dine-in Chinese meal. The service leans friendly and efficient, adding to the low-key neighborhood vibe. Locals appreciate the consistency here, particularly when craving dishes like Mongolian Beef or Walnut Shrimp that are done with attention to freshness and generous portions.

The restaurant’s setting along this part of Salt Lake City is convenient for residents in the surrounding neighborhoods, making it a dependable stop especially during busy evenings or weekend family dinners. If you’re visiting, consider a weekday lunch for a quieter atmosphere or a weekend dinner when the place feels humming with regulars. The ability to customize dishes, like adding asparagus to Mongolian Beef, shows a willingness to accommodate preferences without complicating the menu, which fits the straightforward and homey tone David’s Kitchen maintains throughout.

David’s kitchen is our family’s yearly tradition during Christmas break, everyone loves it. Our favorite order is the #2 meal (comes with egg rolls, Beef and Broccoli, sweet and sour pork, and ham fried rice), plus we also get potstickers, crab wontons, orange chicken, and general chu. My daughter likes to practice speaking Chinese with the lady when we pick up our food. This time we ordered on the website and it was super easy!

David’s Kitchen is the best Chinese food in Salt Lake City. I have been dining there for over twenty years. Their potstickers are delicious and the Generals Chicken is the best. You can’t go wrong with any menu items.

My brother took me here for lunch. Now I know why this has been his favorite restaurant for 30 years. Delicious food. Everything is freshly made, and there was shrimp and ample veggies in the won ton soup. The walnut shrimp was to die for. They added asparagus into our Mongolian beef, per request, which added a sophisticated flavor profile. Fast, friendly service. Nice atmosphere.
