Magic Kitchen is a restaurant that offers a variety of Chinese-American dishes. The food is prepared quickly, making it a convenient option for takeout. Some popular menu items include steamed dumplings, Mongolian chicken, and chicken chop suey, which are all highly rated. The beef fried rice is also a good choice, although it could benefit from a bit more green onion and scrambled egg. The beef with broccoli and BBQ pork egg foo yung are also options, but they may be too sweet for some customers' tastes. The kung pao beef and sesame chicken are moderately spicy and flavorful, but the quality of the chicken in the sesame chicken could be improved. The sweet and sour chicken is a bit plain, as it lacks the usual mix-ins like pineapple and peppers. While the restaurant has an extensive menu and was once a sit-down establishment, it now operates primarily as a takeout business. Some customers may find the portion sizes to be on the smaller side, and the quality of the food can be hit or miss. Recently, customers have noted that the food is fresh and flavorful, with generous portions and friendly staff. The dinner combos, which include rice and an egg roll or crab rangoon, are popular, though some feel the quality of the dishes varies. The Mongolian Beef was praised for its flavor and hint of spice, and the Chicken Egg Foo Young was considered tasty, though some missed the gravy topping. Others found the orange chicken to be somewhat rubbery and the crab Rangoon a bit chewy. The rice was often highlighted as the best part of the meal. Overall, Magic Kitchen offers quick, fresh Chinese-American food with some dishes standing out more than others, making it a solid choice for takeout.
