Good value for the money. Food is light and i add hot chili oil to them for taste. No msg is a big plus for me.

Learned about Fitrition Kitchen through a post on social media and my husband and I have tried it a couple of times now. It's great for when we're short on time to do our usual weekkly meal prepping. Prices are reasonable when you think about the time and energy it's saving. 3 dishes for $32 with 1 soup or 4 dishes for $40 with 2 soup. The soups tend to be healthier and can be a bit bland flavor-wise. There's always a seasonal vegetable dish that I don't really care for, but the rest of the dishes are typically Chinese flavored. Some of the seafood (specifically fish) is sometimes little in quantity.From my experience, it's best if you speak Chinese and call to book your order in advance for the weekday around 11:30am-12:00pm (otherwise you can email them), and you can usually pick-up after 3:30pm in the afternoon. If you go in the afternoon without booking, you risk them running out of dishes or not having enough for you. The meals for the week (changes daily) are uploaded on their website the weekend in advance.They accept cash or card. I haven't ordered rice before, but I believe you can order it as a side or just make you own. Really a great option if you are feeling too lazy to cook, as my husband and I can stretch out the 4 dishes typically at least for a couple of days' lunches.

You can't beat the variety and balanced meal provided to you. The food is enough for 3-4 people and is a home cooked Chinese meal. There is plenty of soup always , a vegetable, then fish or protein dishes. If you went out to shop for the items then tried to prepare at home time alone would stress you out. Your food is kept warm in a thermal bag ready for you to pu and serve once you get home. Delicious, balanced, cost effective.

This place has been a reliable local spot to get family style Chinese meals that are healthy and affordable. It's Cantonese style. It's catered take-out only for dinners M-F. I go every week and when you go this often is best to get the prepaid 10 meal plan for $300. Each meal comes with 2 containers of soup (it's more water than a flavorful soup cuz it's a Chinese thing to warm your body to stay healthy), 2 entrees u choose off their menu (they post the following week's menu every Saturday), and a container of sautéed vegetables. No rice-u got to make that at home. It's been a lifesaver for healthy meals when I was on maternity leave! The ladies speak Chinese but will understand some basic English. To folks that speak English: don't be afraid to try them! Order b4 2pm if u want that day's meal. Grateful this place exists in the 91754.

First time! I like how their food is not oily and it is very healthy, I will be coming back on a weekly order for sure. The price isn't bad and enough for 2-3 days for my family. Thank you!

Life Saver, Great fresh food and variety! The three dishes and soup is enough for two dinners and lunch. We add our own rice and additional stir fry vegetables to each meal which gives us the vegetables to meat ratio we are use to.

The place smelled really bad. It was caused by the soups that were being stored inside the kitchen for way too long. The place inside smelled like water running down from the sewage.They were stingy in portioning the foods. They were using the smallest black plastic boxes and the number of pieces of steamed and marinated chicken were less than the number of potatoes inside the small boxes.They would even cut the already small fish balls in half to make the food inside look sumptuous.I will not go back there to waste my money on buying their so-called healthy/nutritious foods. Lol

I was first recommended to Fitrition Kitchen by a nutritionist at a nursing home as to what to feed my mom who liked to eat out, Chinese food mainly, and had to have a low sodium diet. So I order generally once a week and that is sufficient for 2-3 meals. The food is very clean tasting(some people have referred to it being bland), but one should taste the ingredients more so than the sauces or the seasonings. Hence, low salt and low oil. I would have given a #5 rating, if the vegetable dish was mentioned by name, but it was explained that they don't know what vegetables will be bought in; the shopper would determine by freshness, availability, and best price that day. It's a take-out place that is well run! Food is healthy and well prepared, and packed. Price is fair. You may have to make your own rice, but how hard is that? Thank you, Fitrition Kitchen! Check out my pictures. They are the ones with a white bowl and chop sticks.

I don't understand why other reviewers comment about food being oily and bland. This place stresses for healthy food and we found their food not oily and bland for a good reason. We've been their customer ever since 4 years ago and still recommend them to friends and neighbors. They are really Godsend. They are courteous always address me as "Mr" every time I call to order. We are 100% happy with their food.
It doesn't look clean as of a food selling spot. It's just a tiny little to go space for maybe 2-3 customers standing space there. I've tried few times with their menus. You paying for almost $30 for very bland food. Its tastedall the same flavors (no flavors) for diff food items. Sorry, I've tried.

Can't say anything about the food, because I didn't get that far. I walked in, and there was a dude behind the counter, in a snapback. We made eye contact and I said hi, and he just looked down and started texting. I waited about 30 seconds, turned around, and walked out. He has my permission to go F himself. Going to any other spot in Monterey park.
