Egg rolls
Casey K.

Awesome service. We've been to this restaurant many times to eat in and for takeout. The servers were also kind and happy to explain things on the menu. I recommend sticking to the Chinese food and especially on the front page. Fried soft shell crab is crispy and fluffy at the same time and the crab really shines through. Anything with the XO sauce is bursting with a umami and amazing flavor, we prefer the scallops. The salt and pepper calamari is a must for the appetizer. Similar to the crab, it's fluffy and crunchy and all the right places. The calamari is cooked perfectly. This was a great place to either go for a date night or to take our kids. We will definitely be back.

Lunch special garlic chicken with egg fried rice.
Bob S.

Went in for lunch. It's a medium sized modern looking restaurant with a bar. There was only two other people there for lunch. Only one person working and she quickly sat me. I ordered the lunch special of garlic chicken. It came with egg fried rice, sweet & sour soup and a small salad. The chicken and rice were a good portion and savory. The soup was in a cup and was okay. The salad was small and hot. I wasn't sure if it was a side of vegetables. The service was just okay and so was the food. Maybe the dinner is different. Will have to try.

Not sure what happened to this place; I also noticed that many of my Yelp friends gave less stars for this business/their experience. Quality/Quantity - Paradise Beef Chow Fun - Good portions, but a little too salty. And today we had a few small bone pieces??? Normally I would not stress, but read on... Chicken with Asparagus & Snow Peas - I enjoy my veggies rawish. But I had a few snow peas that I felt were straight up raw, I was not able to eat/swallow all that fiber. We also got a few small bone pieces with our chicken. We ended up eating the rest of our meal chewing in slow motion to not bite into any more inedible pieces. This dish was overly salty too. On a side note, generous portions of chicken. Also available: Chef specials. Lunch specials. Boba tea - See pictures. Atmosphere - Good size local restaurant. Booth, table, and bar seating. HUGE to-go business, which probably backed up the kitchen. We also came during prime dinner hours. Plenty of mall parking. Now open 7 days a week from 11:30am or noon until 8:30pm. Service - Good, Donna warned us that service would be slow today as they were understaffed. So we prepared accordingly. But the wait was not too bad. Donna did a good job communicating the status of our order, meal, etc. Price - $35 + generous tip. Owner Comment - Congrats on your 11+ years of success.

Updated review: Dined in for dinner last night, we ordered some of our favorite Chinese dishes; general's chicken, Kung pao, white rice, and an order of chow fun. I had to have a boba milktea, so I ordered a honeydew milk tea with boba. It was so refreshing after the hot day we had. The food did taste a little different from the last time we had it for takeout. The general's chicken was more salty than sweet and missing the heat that I looked for. Did you recently, by chance, change kitchen staff? My dinner date complained of a strange aftertaste from his kungpao, but he didn't feel right voicing his concern since I tried it, and I didn't find anything wrong with its taste. The Paradise Chow fun saved our meal, and we loved every bite and still had some leftovers. It's a nice-looking restaurant with plenty of seating in the restaurant and they offer bar seating if you'd rather. I like having the option. The service was great. Our server was very attentive and checked on us often. Prices are a bit higher than other Asian restaurants in our area, and all entrées are served a la carte. I'm okay with that, but the portions have decreased. Meanwhile, prices keep increasing. I'm not sure when we'll be back for our next Chinese fix.

Good food. Stopped in for lunch on a stormy Saturday- pretty quiet, server was attentive! Soup was hot and delicious. We had a few dishes and all were quite good! Plenty of leftovers to take home! Clean and nice decor- will return!

New hours

I am updating my review: I think I'm about done with this place. They are closed on Tuesdays. Then they changed their hours. Then today I went to get food and they are closed because of "equipment failure." Are you *** kidding! So so done! I am moving on. I love this place for a few reasons - the food is always hot, tastes fresh, tastes great and out in south Reno, there aren't many restaurant options. I have been coming here for years, I usually call in and pick up or sit at the bar and wait for my to go order. Recently though they changed their hours and their new hours are very inconvenient. I admit their food does taste better now that they close from 2-4 especially when I usually want Chinese at 2:30. They are also closed on Tuesday.

Ask the Community - Asian Paradise Restaurant

Do they use MSG?

Most likely. Msg syndrome is largely fake. And was started because xenophobic and racists wanted to exclude Chinese immigrants and their work. If you don't believe me, and you eat tomatoes (ypu reviewed and loved mofos pizza) or parmesean, you're… 

Do they have gluten free?

Yes!! They were very accommodating to my wife, who is Celiac. They offered to modify menu items as well as recommended gf options on their menu.

The Wok punches so high above Reno's weight class it's insane. The Sichuan menu is absolutely…read morekiller, and I think the best food experience in Reno. The Wok is one of those places, and Sichuan/Chongqing food is one of those things that I'm jealous of people who get to experience it for the first time. Here's how to have an epic time at The Wok: Step 1. Get 4 to 8 people total that aren't afraid to try something a little different and maybe slightly spicy (seriously though it's not actually that spicy). If you need help with this step message me, I'd share a meal with some random people if it's at The Wok. Step 2. Flip to the back page of the menu, and order a few things that sound good to the group. Don't waste your time with the American Chinese menu (even though what I've had off of that menu is actually really good too). Make sure to get a decent mix of stuff like appetizers, veggies, noodle, soup, and meat dishes. Also don't be afraid to order multiple times. This gives you more time with the menu, and you can judge what sounds good in the moment. Step 3. Share the food family style with everyone until you are all full. I think at this point I've eaten everything on the Sichuan menu, and can say that if it sounds good to you, it is! Some of my favorite dishes are: Wontons in Chili oil, Bone in chicken wings, Spicy boiled fish fillet, Beef noodle soup, Green beans, Salt and Pepper tofu, Dan dan noodles, and Mapo Tofu. Finally, Janet (the manager) is amazing, and always willing to give a recommendation.

Had the Wor Wonton Soup, Combination Chow Mein, Fish Dish (can't recall the name)…read more Overall, food was just ok. Pricey especially for the amount of food and the quality and taste. The Chow Mein looks appetizing but bland. Had a few pieces of shrimp but shrimp tasted like it's been in the freezer for a while; had a freezer burnt baking soda flavor. The Wor Wonton Soup broth was not seasoned well. The wonton filling was also just ok. Fish was the better of the dishes. Tender fillet cut into bite size. Had some soy based sauce and green onions.

One word: wow…read more Kwok's Bistro blew away my expectations and with my first visit became one of the favorite restaurants in Reno. It's listed online, but I will say call to make a reservation a good 2-3 days before the day you want to visit. The restaurant is small and limited on seating so please give grace to the staff. The food was some of the best Chinese food I've had anywhere, a blast of flavor in each bite. My table ordered honey-glazed prawns mid-meal because I was very impressed/wanted more yummy food. The service was lovely and enjoyed the ambiance in the restaurant, it was comforting setting. I will absolutely be coming back or ordering to go as Kwok's has takeout too. Thank you to Kwok's for a memorable meal!

Let's just start with house made noodles daily. The Chow Fun noodles are made the way the server's…read morehome town made them. Wide and flat, just right to hold the mild savory sauce and bits of pork, green onion and bean sprouts. Not your run of the mill from dried noodles made in a large batch. A simple dish that in each ingredient is made to perfection and the sum of the parts is wonderful. The crab Rangoon was unlike any I've ever seen or tasted. Check out the picture. Beautiful and flavorful. Fried rice is my favorite and by which I judge any Chinese restaurant. Must be oily and but so much to cover the bottom of the bowl only cover the rice. Perfect! The space is small and reservations are required. Several parking spots adjacent to the restaurant and many more on the street. Service is up close and personal. You will be treated as friend and special guest. So make your reservation and prepare to be wowed. Of course they do take out.

We ordered Beef Chow Fun, Salt and Pepper Pork Chop, Sautéed Garlic Green beans, and Mongolian Beef. All had great flavor and we left not feeling bogged down or dehydrated from too much sodium.

For a Shanghainese place with a Sichuan chef, the food is pretty solid. We came for a big dinner…read moreand they did not disappoint. Decor is a bit overdone, but that seems to fit the vibe of anywhere with casinos, so can't blame them for trying to fit in. A bar dominates the view from the entrance, then ample tables of several sizes to the right. We filled the rear corner (two giant tables) and had mostly good food, although the sweet and sour chicken was forgettable. A fried squash (pumpkin?) was delectable, had some very good bean curd/mixed veggies, the Sichuan water fish did the job but was a bit short from the best I've had-- which to be fair is tough because there is so much Sichuan food everywhere these days. A second veggie dish with lotus root was also excellent, and the sweet and sour pork, while not memorable, was distinctly better than the sweet and sour chicken.
