Their egg rolls are very good, crispy. I had Thai shrimp rice with basil, my husband had hot sour soup which he gave thumbs up, he's picky about his hot sour. Our friend had orange chicken that he said was very good and his wife had chicken kow. She's gluten free and it was good. It's hard to find good Chinese and it's right here in Griffith. read more

Food was amazing and the prices are very reasonable. Highly recommended! I had the shrimp fried rice and Mongolian beef. Very impressed by the service as well. read more

Food was cooked well and tasted good. Service was excellent. Ambiance was great also.

I walked inside this restaurant with my girlfriend. We were stoked to sit down and have a Chinese dinner, but unfortunately the dining room wasn't open. We were already there, so we grabbed a menu and took a moment to digest what we wanted. The menu was rather large, so maybe it took longer than a moment. Anyways, we ordered the #22 Dinner Special, which is Sesame Chicken. The Dinner Specials are served with an Egg Roll and a side item for only $12.25. We chose BBQ Pork Fried Rice. We also ordered the China Koon Lo Mein (Beef) and that was $14.95. That seemed pretty steep, but I was craving a big bowl of noodles, so I did what I had to do. The food took about five minutes. They didn't waste any time in preparing it for us. That was a huge plus! We took it on a journey and parked off the road for a Chinese Feast. The Dinner Special was packed full in the container. It's crazy how much Chicken they were able to squeeze in there! The Chicken was pretty chewy. It seemed that some pieces were better than others. The sauce to it was good, though. The Pork Fried Rice was alright. I'm not a big fan of Pork, so the small pieces didn't interest me too much. The Egg Roll was pretty dang good! The shell of it was pretty thin and it wasn't greasy. The Lo Mein was good quality. I wasn't crazy about the Beef in it, but the noodles were definitely good. The service here was fast and easy. There weren't any problems in that field. Overall, this restaurant is close to my residence, so I'm sure I'll try a meal here again someday. I recommend getting a Dinner Special, as the price and portion size is amazing for it. read more

Have not had this in over 20 years. The Crab Rangoon was just as I remembers it; full of crab and buttery goodness. The pork fried rice and chicken egg foo young were delicious as well read more

This place has been freshly remodeled so it was nice and clean. The service was friendly. The food was decent. I've definitely had better. But I've also had worse. The items both my husband and I ordered had indication on the menu that they were spicy but really they were not. They do have fruit smoothies. Better than any other place locally. But they do not have tapioca. read more

I ordered Hawaii fried rice and Beef egg foo young for delivery.The fried rice turned out to be steamed rice with ingredients added.Completely forgot to fry the rice as if I wouldn't know the difference or they didn't care because it was delivery.One beef patty in the beef Egg Foo young was full of broken egg shells.Had food delivered to a local business with directions on how to enter security get with a car.Driver ignored instructions and called me telling me he had my order on the street.I told him he failed to follow instructions given to his company and enter to security as told and give my name.This company has delivered to this address multiple times so they already knew they had to enter through security and inform which employee they were delivering to. read more

Didn't like at all! Payed over 50 bucks and threw most of it away! Don't wast your money! read more

I always get the best food here I actually like the new digs and the new menu. The udon noodles have a great flavor. The noodle is just a bit too large and chewy for me. But it seems everything else has gotten better since the update. But make sure you are on time because they close directly at 10 or before if it is slow. I would totally recommend trying this place at least once. read more

We had a great dinner here tonight. Mini me had the salt/pepper shrimp, the hubby had the shrimp lo mein and I had the pad shrimp noodles. Everything was delicious and the portions were huge. For the appetizer we had the crab Rangoon which is also delicious. read more

This restaurant is a few blocks from me and we keep trying to like it. The food isn't terrible, but I've definitely had better. I've made the mistake if trying their Thai dishes a couple of times, and they definitely are NOT a Thai restaurant. I don't understand how you can have the heat from a curry with absolutely no flavor at all. Most of the food is either bland it drowning in sauce. We would probably be able to tolerate the food for something quick on occasion, but the prices are not worth it at all. On top of it, the three times we've decided to get it delivered, it took over an hour to get the food and they messed up the order each time. The last two times, I ordered online to make sure there wasn't any misunderstanding, but they still forgot items or sent the wrong dish. So, we had to wait even longer for our food. As I mentioned, we live a few blocks from the restaurant. I could have walked there, ordered, waited, and walked home in the time it took to get my food. I think we're going to look for a different Chinese place. read more

Purchased the pad Thai lunch special today. Not even sure how they can call this dish pad Thai as it was served drowning in a disgusting red sweet sauce, no vegetables and overcooked sticky noodles. They served this dish in a styrofoam container, so hot the styrofoam melted. Dangerous! Other foods were average in this order. read more

China Koon Restaurant - "Pad Thai" yuck. - Chinese Near Me - Griffith, Indiana

Amazing Crab Rangoon that has to be hand made, they are HUGE! The servings are HUGE too. You can easily eat with your date with 2 items. Might be a bit pricy, but you get huge servings that are made on the spot. I cannot complain. read more

Amazing food - excellent service and excellent food . What more could you ask for? I live the shrimp and Un don noodles, I'm going to weight 300 pounds eating this delicious food. read more

Stopped by this restaurant for a quick lunch! This is the best tomato beef fried I ever had!! Great services!! Waitresses are friendly! Nice and clean restaurant!! Definitely recommend! read more

This place has been here for years and had a chance to try it recently. Most of the dishes are good, I would avoid the shrimp and lobster sauce. The house chop suet as well as house fried rice are excellent. They have a pan Asian menu, and do most everything well. read more

Ended upstopping in here to pick up dinner on the way home from a mtng. In general, the food was sub par and we won't be back. The curry chicken was beyond bland, worst I've had, evenfrom a home cook. The Saigon noodles lacked a decent amount of veggies, noodles we're a gummy mess, and was also bland. Finally, the Kung Pao beef was the one dish I would give 3 stars, and it changed my rating from 1 to 2 stars. While still average, it was the only dish we had that was even close to the right flavor profile, but still needed more hot peppers, there were only 4 in the whole dish. Service was good, but due to the quality of the food, we won't be back. read more

This used to be the best Chinese food in the area. The new owners have decided to raise prices and skimp on the meat and sauces. Food came out at different times with appetizers mixed in making the last entree cold. My KungPo Chicken was mostly carrots and celery with just a thin watery sauce...very disappointing. read more

China Koon Restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Griffith, Indiana

Owned by the lovely Lau family, China Koon is THE spot for real deal Chinese food in G-town. My favorite chicken fried rice of all time comes from China Koon and while their crab rangoon is not my favorite, at least they have it. China Koon is a friendly, family-owned and operated place that offers great lunch deals and specials. I might have to make a stop on my next trip to Griffith... *Edit* Okay, so I tried to stop at the CK yesterday, but word to the wise--China Koon is CLOSED on Sundays. Drat. read more

I'm not sure what it is about their fried rice that makes it so very different (and better) than every other Chinese place I've dined, but it is fantastic. When I moved away from The Region, I missed it. I craved it. Their egg rolls are good, but on the greasy side. My favorites are the sweet & sour chicken and the beef & broccoli. The staff is friendly and move at a quick pace. The prices are affordable/inexpensive and you get a lot of food. I always end up taking more than half of my order home with me when we dine in. To Go Tip: Ask for extra hot mustard packets if you like it. One packet is just NOT enough for me. :) read more

I remember them always having really great service. Their food pretty standard. read more

The service was amazing, considering the woman out up with my crazy grandma. Food was excellent and fresh. The almond cookies were by far the most wonderful cookies I've ever gotten from a Chinese restaurant! read more

The food is fu**ing terrible! I had the house special fried rice and I would rather drink the stuff they give you right before a colonoscopy read more

This is my third time in since new ownership the place looks way better the food doesn't compare to the last owner but was ok . What bothered me was the owner was having a conversation on his cell phone was crazy loud it got to the point I was going to walk out . He also kept walking to my table which made me feel uncomfortable. read more

Great "Americanized" Chinese food for dine in or take out. Interior of the restaurant has been renovated and updated, so look past the drab exterior. Dinner combos come with egg roll and fried rice. We've only ever had generous portions. Sweet and sour and Kung Po anything are our usuals, although chop suey and orange chicken are also good. Haven't tried any of the Thai dishes yet. read more

They were very fast with delivery. There was a LOT of food, which was nice. We ordered the potstickers, I personally did not like them at all. I ordered the sweet and sour chicken wax was very good but they put the sauce in the stirafoam container on the chicken, not on the side, so the chicken was soggy at the bottom. The egg rolls was crispy and delicious. My boyfriend ordered the orange chicken which was very good. The added price of $3 extra to have shrimp fried rice was a little steep but tasted good. As the delivery driver was leaving, he was walking the lines in the sidewalk as if he was drunk. He was also asking weird/random questions when he walked up, which was odd. read more

This place is okay. I'm giving it 3 stars by midwestern standards. In the west coast, this would be a 1 star. I'm not expecting a lot from Indiana asian food so this would be categorized under greasy american chinese fare- which sometimes can be awesome if you're in the mood for fat ass inducing food. Which also can be good if done right. But when it's bad, good Lord it's disgusting. My bestest buddy thought she'd have the nerve to show me her favorite chinese place that serves good egg drop soup. I ordered the hot and sour soup and some potstickers. I gave her props for being right that the soups were good, flavorful and not loaded with corn starch. I HATE that. Who wants to eat a bowl of hot and sour soup pudding? Not me. I'm looking at you Yummy Yummy in Lakeview. (that's a Chicago neighborhood for any Indiana folks reading this) I usually never go for egg drop soup and I'm pretty traumatized by hot and sour soups in the midwest so I never even think about them, but I would go out of my way for these again if I happened to be in Indiana. Same with their potstickers! They are pretty good, obviously made in house cuz I can tell by the dough and it's pan fried. A little greasy but really good. I got my friend hooked on these cuz she never tried them here before. As for their entrees.. meh, they are okay, they have dinner combo's that come with a soup and eggroll... there's options to have it with noodles or fried rice, plain rice. When it says noodles it's just noodles that are plain, no seasoning which I thought was weird and gross. Most chinese places at least lightly stir fry it up with a little seasoning. I got that with sweet and sour shrimp which were pretty standard. I like that they serve the sauce on the side. It's homemade sweet and sour sauce by the way... very similar in taste and appearance as my dad's homemade sweet and sour sauce. We also had seafood kow and chicken and brocolli at the table.. both in white sauces, they were okay. Same with the eggroll, they use chinese bbq pork in it and some bits were fatty- which I loooved the fatty bits. It's a pretty good americanized egg roll. I want to come back and give their moo shu a try. I feel like this place can be a hit or miss but the owners are so nice and friendly, very in your face friendly. The guy is like that- just like my dad. The type that would say loudly to you while you're asleep- Gooooooooooooooood Mooooooooorning DOLL! WAKEE UUP!!!! Banging pots and pans. Overly friendly, loud- well meaning asians.. they do exist. read more

Orange chicken was dry which is a surprise because of the sauce on it. The Crab Rangoon was trash taste like bread and cream cheese. You are better off going to Panada Express if you want a quick meal read more

We frequent this restaurant a few times a month. Great food, good service and always get plenty for what you pay for.

Nephew bought out old owners. Big upgrades on interior decor, but, as previous person said, food quality way down. Used to be a place I'd take clients to, but no longer. read more

Been eating at this restaurant for the past 12 years since we moved to Griffith, IN -- they have a dine-in so are slightly higher in price than the cheap carry-out strip mall restaurants, but their quality is much better than the other restaurants in the area in my opinion. I grew up on Chinese food because my mother was born in China and am picky when it comes to Chinese food. Family owned and operated, delicious! read more

Used to enjoy this place, but it's so dirty in there any more that I won't patronize them. Food has taken a dive in quality as well. Although it is very near my home, I now drive to a much-better establishment elsewhere. read more

Food is not bad but really greasy/oily. After picking up my eggroll my hands were sopping wet w oil. Kung pow chicken was rather bland although advertised HOT. The service was great. The older Chinese man who runs the place was constantly checking up on us. Also the prices for lunch specials were great and food portion is really good w several alternatives for sides if you don't want the fried rice. For dine in Chinese, it isn't that bad but I think I'll go w another alternative for take outs. read more

Not what it used to be :( so disappointed ... they still give giant portions but what good is that if the food doesn't have any flavor. It tastes like everything is frozen then fried then slathered in sauce and slapped on a plate ... it was greasy and flavorless ... sorry china koon .. even if you were a childhood favorite it's just not the same. read more

Delicious, reasonable food. Check out the luncheon specials for $4.95 to $5.95 that include soup, egg roll, fried rice or rice noodles, tea and fortune cookie from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays.

I've been a supporter of this Restaurant for over 13 years when their parents owned it. I must say I'm not satisfied the Costomer Service SUCKS!! Can't deny the good is amazing but I will not patronized a business that Costomer Service Lacks!! I will contact the BBB. ASAP read more

Hard to come by good Chinese in NWI but this place is worth the drive! Kung pao chicken is best around and crab Rangoon is phenomenal! The workers and management are very friendly as well and always have a smile on their faces! read more

Their food is very Americanized. So if you like minute rice white rice - this is the place for you. In fairness I lived in San Francisco many years so have high standards and this food is not even close. Loved the decor and cleanliness of the restaurant. read more
