Grabbed takeout here during Covid times. Was craving some noodles. The interior was sectioned off for only take-out (August), and overall a little dingy feeling. Ordered Singapore-style Fried Rice Noodles. Food was very OK. Taste was a little on the bland side, and a little too much green pepper for my liking. That being said, it satisfied my noodle craving, and there's really not much else for Cantonese style food in the city. Really more of a 2 star, but +1 for Kingston Cantonese food. read more

Kai's Delight - Singapore Fried Rice Noodle - Chinese Near Me - Kingston, Ontario

Great takeout place in Kingston to grab a quick lunch or dinner. Delivery is quick and portions are hard to beat for the price! Delicious wonton soup and egg rolls (huge!). The restaurant is currently takeout only but it seems like they might open for dine-in in the future. Looking forward to this being a diner someday! read more

the price are good, and it has standard chinese menu and flavor, though I can tell the flavor is a little bit different from chinese mainland, it is more like American Chinese food style. The barbecue duck and pork is my favorite, and I hope they put less potato starch sauce in vegetable read more

First time trying local Chinese food in Kingston. My boyfriend and I don't have to look any further we found Kai's Delight and we are delighted! Great menu layout, including images and accurate descriptions. Many options to choose from. Love the numbered dishes, makes it very simple to order via the phone. Excellent communication via telephone, very pleasant and quality customer service. Quick delivery and the food was amazing. We got general tao, chicken and veggie lo mein, beef and broccoli (which is the best beef and broccoli I have ever had. In love!) Huge portions of food that was well packaged and hot upon delivery. I cannot say enough positive things! Thank you Kai's Delight for a wonderful Friday meal we will definitely be repeat customers! read more

Kai's Delight - Chinese Near Me - Kingston, Ontario

Came in mid-afternoon during the week - with no one in restaurant - looked like they may have been preparing for dinner traffic. Friendly staff with quick service So taking that into mind ordered a combo plate / egg roll / hot sour soup - it was all served piping hot and with decent speed considering. Chicken fried rice in combo could had been around for a while and wasn't great. Everything else was okay - not especially tasty but it did fill the need. I'd consider giving it a chance while it's busier as there are tons of google reviews the reason originally gave it a try. read more

I have been in Kingston Ontario for about 3 weeks now and I was craving Chinese food real bad so I looked around and found Kai's Delight...The restaurant isn't your typical big restaurant but the food is delicious and authentic enough. I have to say that from the outside the restaurant is very easy to miss because it's somewhat hidden. The inside decor is very basic with enough tables and chairs. The food was fairly decent, cheap, and the portion is GOOD! I ordered a couple of dishes and they arrived in a timely manner...Overall, I would definitely go back there to check out some other dishes from their menu.... read more

See all

Great Chinese take out. Food is very fresh and tasty. Ginger chicken is awesome, so is their fried rice. Family dinners are good way to order. Portions are a good size. read more

Yay, finally a decent Chinese restaurant in Kingston. Love this place (and I'm Chinese). They had tripe when they first opened (I was super excited), but sadly it has been taken off the menu due to its low popularity. Anyway, I digress. Authentic flavours in the "real" Chinese dishes, good prices and super friendly service. There's also free parking in the back. The decor is so-so, but it's clean - which for me - is the only thing that matters in the presence of deliciousness. I wouldn't say it's the best Chinese food I've ever tasted, but Kai's definitely stand outs on top compared to the cornucopia of Chinese restaurant failures in Kingston. The Szechuan dishes are very yummy. I personally love the Ma Po Tofu. I also enjoyed the Won Ton in Spicy Hot sauce. I should also point out that rice and tea come for free here, unlike some of the other places in town that are obviously run by rip-off artists. I should caution those of you who plan to order Canadian Chinese Food here. Kai's has chicken balls on the menu but they are awful. This doesn't bother me as there is nothing Chinese about chicken balls. So, if you're looking for a Chinese meal that Chinese people would actually order, then yes, Kai's a great choice. If you're looking for Chicken Balls and Egg Rolls, I'd go somewhere that specializes in "fake" Chinese food. read more

Won't order again. Ordered for pick up and honestly it was too fast...the food reflected that,like it had been sitting for some time. Not fresh, rubbery texture on almost everything. I've had way better Chinese takeout. read more

I would give 0 stars, except for the friendliness of the server. The food is terrible. I am no expert on Chinese food, but even with my limited experience, this was bland and flavorless. Very disappointing. read more

Great food and excellent service .Kai's is my favourite Chinese restaurant with a friendly atmosphere and clean surroundings. A place I can trust to get a great meal at a great price. Check this out, for a great taste and pleasant atmosphere. read more

Ordered the spicy tingly beef. The beef was basically flavourless with the consistency of a chicken ball. There was absolutely no taste of any sort of seasoning let alone hot oil. It was basically a pile of slimy unidentifiable meat. read more

The owner,and his family are lovely people. Their cuisine even more so. The Devore is the sole reason I cannot give a 5 star review. In spite of the Devore, they still provide a warm and hospitable place to have a meal. They suit all tastes from my Shanghai bred partner, to my Jamaican spice loving Caucasian self. From spicy to simply savory, there it something to please all pallets. The value is also commendable. read more

Amazing place, delicious food, very fast service and clean place!!!! We will come back for sure!!!!! The best General Tao chicken we have ever eaten before!!!!! read more

I've only ever ordered delivery from Kai's. The food is decent but the americanized chinese dishes aren't very good and if that's the food you're craving I'd suggest to check elsewhere. This is the place to get the chef's speciality or the less americanized dishes. The customer service is great, the delivery guy was so friendly and I got a free egg roll and a bunch of fortune cookies in addition to my order. I will still order from here but only when I am craving specific dishes. read more

Inconsistent now....unfortunately. Very nice people but the last few delivery orders were questionable. Tonight the 'lemon' chicken sauce was inedible..actually poured it down the drain after tasting it. Artificial tasting, lukewarm...absolutely inedible. Not a bit of anything 'real' in it. The chicken it was supposed to go on was extremely overcooked! Dark, crisp, hard nuggets.... The 'ma po tofu' actually was sweet 'ketchup' tasting with just a hint of spice. Have been faithful to this place for a number of years now but will have to look elsewhere from now on.....sad to say..... read more

For years I have had to put up with Canadian Chinese food. Finally a place with a touch more authenticity. I always ask for the house special fried rice with NO soy sauce. That is a very N.American version, and it ruins the flavor. But this store does have to sell what it's customers want. So glad I can order real fried rice. Occasionally the stir frys are a bit soupy. A touch more corn starch thickener would turn this review to a 5. read more

I usually don't do review, good restaurants usually speaks for itself. I only do review for bad places to warn people. I don't know about the previous reviewers, they must be friends and family to give it that high of a rating. It's the false reviews that brought me here. First the people, the only friendly guy that actually acknowledge my family when we walked in might be the owner or son. The rest looks like they're constipated especially the women/cooks. It was a hot day and they had 2 floor fans running, I don't know if the a/c was broken but I was sweating b's. The waiter might be the grandson. This is where attention to details come in. We're Asians, so this kid waiter brought us water and knives and forks (dafuq?) the constipated look must have rub off from the elders. We politely decline the water and asked for chopsticks instead and always say our please and thank you. Now on with the food. We ordered Singapore noodle, Spicy salted shrimp and General Tao's tofu. Singapore was mediocre, the shrimp was battered with the flour they use for the chicken balls. It's the same batter every Chinese Canadian Restaurant use for the White folks. As for Tao's tofu, the little chunks of tofu was fried and drenched with the watered down sweet and sour sauce that's used for the chicken balls (dafuq? again) we we're far from home and hungry. I would have ordered dinner for 4 if I knew my food was going to be prepared like this. My kids usually eat everything but they couldn't stomach the tofu. Kids ate most of the noodle since it was edible and it's the only dish that taste like authentic Chinese food. I basically had to chew, hold my breath then swallow the food because it's that bad. I left the place feeling angry that I had to pay to eat that stuff. My kids told me that it's the worst Chinese food they ever had. So there's nothing delightful about Kai's Delight! I'm giving this place 1 star because of the friendly guy that greeted us when we walked in. read more

Best Chinese food in Kingston! Has great authentic food, but also amazing chicken balls. Great BBQ duck on rice, just like in Toronto or Montreal. Reasonable prices, quick service, plenty of free parking. How is this place not packed every night? read more
