About Alleyway Kitchen M-City | 小巷

Alleyway Kitchen dishes out fast, overflowing combination trays packed with homestyle Chinese comfort in Clayton's M-City. Regulars gravitate toward the hot counter for hefty multi-dish combos over rice or noodles—often piling plates with crispy fried chicken, sweet and sour pork, and slow-cooked pork belly. The serving sizes border on unruly, packing more meat than carbs into every box. For a sit-down meal, the kitchen fires wok-tossed dishes to order, from stir-fried black bean beef to spiced double-cooked pork slices.

  • Heaping Combination Trays: Generous multi-dish combinations load two to three hot-bar choices over rice or noodles for an affordable, filling lunch.
  • Hot-Bar Speed or Made-to-Order: Order directly from the counter line for speed, or pull up a chair for wok-tossed dishes and slow-cooked meats.

  • Authentic Wok Recipes and Balanced Seasoning

    Dishes are carefully seasoned to deliver genuine regional taste profiles with balanced textures and approachable spice levels.

    Very tasty food, that's not too salty nor sweet. Spice level of the Double-cooked Pork Slices and Traditional Style Curry Chicken is mild enough not to blow your head off.
