Great take out place with one booth for dining in. General Tso's was crispy and delicious. Boneless spare ribs were like candied pork! I would definitely come here again. It's getting harder to find this style of Chinese food that's done well. Please support great family run restaurants. read more

We felt like Chinese for lunch. Chose Kai's place because of the ratings. My husband wanted to eat at the place. So we did. But this place is really for take out. There are two booths, so my husband decided to stay. When the food was ready. They gave us the food in takeout containers with plastic forks. No napkins. So clearly, not for sit down. The food was good. We chose similar dishes, but we each liked our dish. Nice crunch and flavor. The rice was ok. Didn't stand out. We each were quite full, so decided to take our egg rolls home. The people were nice. So did feel welcomed. Just be prepared to take your food to go. read more

I haven't been here in a while, but the food is just as good as it was the last time I was here. I had the wonton and chicken dumplings in hot oil, and they were good! Yang chow fried rice was perfect, as was the shrimp with lobster sauce and minced chicken corn soup. They also have the best boneless spareribs. The owner is so nice, and her prices are the most reasonable in the area. read more

Really good, clean food! Great variety and tastes delicious. Have ordered many times.

Some of the best food in the region we come from West Coast and the food in the NE isn't as good so when you find a good to spot you tend to hype it up because it meets your expectations read more

five star worthy in the context of take out food. the best Chinese-asian take out food around danbury for my money. The dumplings and the Singapore chow mein fun is my catnip - need a fix periodically. The owners / management very nice although often harried they are so busy - often generously throw in a treat extra - the friendly customer facing woman is a magician! read more

Just got take out for the first time here and wow it was so good! I've been looking for a Chinese restaurant in the area since I moved here, and I definitely think Kai's is my favorite. read more

I know I just had chinese food on Friday night but it was such a disappointment I had to get chinese again last night This chinese food place is not close to where I live right now so while I was out I had to pick some up. My appetizer that Im so happy they are still making is a mild spicy garlic fried wontons. Somehow they get eight of these wontons in the little container. The combo of spiciness and garlic is sooo good! I have to admit for my dinner I meant to get the BBQ Spare ribs on the bone but messed up and ordered boneless. The boneless spare ribs were better than I expected and they really packed the container with them. read more

This is good quality and good value, old school Chinese food! I'm somewhat new to the area and was disappointed with other places so this is a great find. read more

Food was bland & greasy. I went out of my way to drive there having seen all the good reviews on Google order wasn't ready when I arrived even though it should've been there was only one person in the restaurant before me. I actually ended up throwing me out of the food. read more

The 1st 2 times I ordered from here, I was happy to find a decent takeout spot. 3 months ago I ordered the peppersteak with onions combination. I love onions so as usual ordered extra onions in my rice. What I got was giant irregular cut onions. When my order was ready the woman made a remark which seemed to be spiteful. I decided not to patronize them again. Yesterday, 3 months later I decided to try again Every place have bad days. The woman seemed to give me a welcoming greeting. I ordered the pork egg foo young combination, which I enjoyed when I patronized them before, as per my earlier review. When I got home my egg food young was stuffed with at least 3 portions of hard green peas. This could not have been an accident because she made it herself. The meal was disappointing, extra greasy and a waste of money. There has never been a bad word spoken between aside from the comment she made. She has convinced me she doesn't need my money. read more

The little boy was so cool that he came over to help his mother answer the phone in such weather,the food is delicious .

Best Chinese in Danbury! Owners are by far the most accommodating. Definitely a take out place; a few small tables for eating in if you have time. Take good suggestions from the owners; they are so nice! read more

Kai's Place - 26. Egg Drop Soup my favorite ever with a little soy and some spicy mustard! - Chinese Near Me - Danbury, Connecticut

We were looking for a fresh Chinese take-out go-to in Danbury and we found it in Kai's Place. We had company in and decided while watching the playoffs that Chinese sounded good. We ordered an array of dishes, including beef and broccoli, kung po chicken, shrimp lo mein, and sweet and sour chicken along with spring rolls and egg rolls and assorted rice. A pleasant evening indeed. read more

Good value and consistently good food. My go to spot since moving to CT from NYC for Chinese take out.

Absolutely delicious. Food is great price. Everything was absolutely delicious -- the wonton soup gets an amazing shoutout. So many wontons and the price is incredible. Everything we ate was great read more

Interesting hole in the restaurant. Felt like we was teleported to a back alley in Chinatown. They only have 2 old booths so don't have your heart set on eating there. The lady at the counter was warm and welcoming and smell from the wok drew us in. I was a little skeptical of the other reviews but have to agree with them. It was our first time there but will return. We did notice by eating in that they have quit a few regulars.. read more

Kai's Place - 14. Szechuan Dumpling with Hot Oil L20. C10. Hot & Spicy Chicken Special C11. Hot & Spicy Beef Special - Chinese Near Me - Danbury, Connecticut

This is HANDS DOWN the best Chinese Take out in the area! Always hot and fresh. The menu has some nice hidden gems, that you don't see everywhere else. The folks working there are always happy to see you and take care in preparing your food. They are happy to alter dishes if need be and will make stuff not on the menu. PLEASE give them your business, you won't be disappointed!!! read more

Best Chinese in the area. I've been looking for good takeout in entire area for 30 years. Use to NYC good Chinese food Kai's is excellent, fresh and delicious read more

First time here at Kai's Place. We came based on the good reviews. We were not disappointed. Lady at counter was very friendly and super patient (my friend has Alzheimer's and has hard time asking what he needs). She was so nice and she didn't rush him. Food was really good. Both ordered Pork Chow Ho Fun. One of our favorite dishes. It was delicious. So good in fact I couldn't share a photo bcuz it didn't last long! Lol! Check it out. Def a "take out" place but clean as well and had two booths if deciding to eat in. read more

I live on the ridgefield side of Danbury and drive all the way to Kai's place because they are fantastic. They have an extensive Chinese menu and a limited Thai menu but everything is just really really good. I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant. read more

So far, the best overall Chinese food I've had in the Danbury area. I recently did a trial of several Chinese food restaurants in the Danbury area and this place came out on top. I didn't have a go-to Chinese food restaurant, I went out to see what was in Danbury and Bethel "Just the Basics" WonTon soup, rice, eggrolls all seem like things that are easy to do, but there's what you expect and what you actually get. The wontons and broth are pretty much an American standard and these fell well within what you'd expect, as well as being tasty. The egg rolls have no "surprise" ingredients and are cooked but not overdone. Sticky rice is exactly what you expect. "A few dishes" General Tso's Chicken and Chicken and Broccoli rule the table when I'm taking orders for my family. Both are good/very good. "Special Order" One thing that's great is that most Chinese restaurants will take custom orders based on a diet you may be on, or something you prefer. Several orders of "steamed with sauce on the side" for both of the above orders came out consistently delicious and ask requested. "Location" Northern Padanaram Rd can be a gamble depending on the time of day and any traffic incidents, but there hasn't been too much difficulty getting out of the parking lot and any 'asphalt imperfections' are easily avoided. Don't forget to tip! read more

The food is the best around and the owner couldn't be any nicer. She really makes me want to go back as she was so nice and with take out that is not usually the case. read more

Good place for CHINESE TAKEOUT, Friendly service, Convenient ample parking-accessible to major roads.

On a whim, I was poking through the inexpensive options locally on Yelp, and I spotted the gem known as Kai's Place. Given the menu and pricing, I expected it to be a bargain-bin hole in the wall chinese place, to be added to rotation of McDonald's and Burger King in the broke college student diet. I'm a sucker for bargains, so I stopped in- and I have been absolutely floored since I arrived. This restaurant ranks far above the expensive chinese restaurants I've been to locally- it's operating on the level you would expect from Chinatown. Seriously. It's that good. A note on actually finding the place- it's in Carbarie Square Shopping Center, next to the gravel processing plant. There's no actual number 45 on the sign! It's a small restaurant- there are three tables total- this is a place you should take out from- although if you choose to sit down like I did you will notice that every surface is impeccably clean. The atmosphere is good- and the experience with ordering was superior- the staff were attentive, thoughtful, and fast. That might be too many adjectives, but I don't care. My experience was that good. And then, the food arrived. It was a hot summer day, and I was offered a free virgin mojito- which was excellent, by the way- if they had a liquor permit this place would be absolutely unstoppable. The egg drop soup arrived first, and in what seems to be the first time I have ever experienced this- it wasn't over-salty. Most chinese places disguise bad chicken stock with salt, but this was just the opposite- good flavor permeated the soup, and it had just the right amount of cornstarch for the eggs to separate and cook properly. This, on it's own would have been a great experience, but they took that and elevated it. The fried noodles that go with the soup were crispy without being greasy, and actually had a hint of noodle flavor- imagine that! Then- the main course. I got the sesame chicken and fried rice combo. It also came with an egg roll, which was great as well. The sesame chicken- true to form- arrived with a ton of sesame seeds on it- seriously, why don't more places do this? It was crispy, sweet, filled with flavor. It was an experience that beat out many $30+ chinese places- I was shocked. The roast pork fried rice, that came with the meal, was the other highlight. When I say roast pork, I really mean it- not those flavorless red bits you've come to expect from other places. It tasted like actual roasted pork- and keeping with the theme of this place, was not oversalted, soy or otherwise. The fact that they put the care and detail into the simple things means I won't be afraid to try more complex dishes here. As it stands, they've won my business for the foreseeable future. read more

Best Mai Fun I've ever rated from here. Food is ready promptly. Can't wait to try other dishes.

Kai's Place is an amazing find! Actually a wrong turn, at the right time, and is now our go-to for awesome Asian cuisine. We live 40 minutes away, in Easton, and visit Kai's whenever we can. It's definitely destination dining for us. The servings are more than enough to have dinner and a next day lunch, although we have been known to order 2 meals to have a second dinner later in the week. It's THAT GOOD. Kai always has a smile on her face, she knows and wants to know her customers. When we order 2 orders of fried chicken wing appitizers, large Wonton soup, she knows exactly what the rest of the order will be, before we even say our name. We have our favorite dishes but Kai likes to toss it up, and sometimes gives us a sample taste of new items and it becomes a toss-up what to order. I can't say enough and I'm a really picky eater. Small 3 table seating, always clean, and always welcoming. When ordering take-out for a 40 minute drive home, the smell in the car is torture, we can't wait to get home and eat. Thank you Kai! read more

Hands down the BEST Chinese food I've ever had in CT! I'm not sure why it's so hard to find good Chinese food in this state, but this reminded me of the high quality Chinese food from New York that I'm used to. Everything was SO fresh and tasty. My family raved about it. We drove from Trumbull and will definitely be back. Highly recommend!! read more

Ordered Kai's through DoorDash. The food was delivered within 30 min. I have zero complaints! I'd definitely recommend this place. We ordered: -Wonton Egg Drop soup mix--it was good. Dumplings were full and tasted lovely as did the soup. -Crab Rangoon--They were full and light and crispy, not chewy. You can taste the filling as the ratio of wonton & filling is good. -Szechuan Dumplings--This is large enough to be a meal! They were full and served in a yummy peanut sauce. Definitely recommended! -Sweet & Sour Chicken--The sauce was on the side as it should be since it was to go. The chicken itself was light and not greasy at all. -Shrimp & Pineapple Fried Rice-- it's a huge portion. Shrimp are large and cooked well. Overall a good flavor. -Beef & Broccoli in garlic sauce--The beef was so tender, not chewy as some places can be. It had a lot of broccoli and the sauce tasted delicious. read more

All I have to say is... OMG! This place is delicious. It is so hard to find a decent take out and the food here rates higher than a restaurant. I ordered spring rolls and they were fresh crunchy and so tasty, I didn't even need duck sauce they were that good. The orange chicken is perfectly balanced with a sweet thick sauce that offers the right amount of heat. Everything is good from soup to fortune cookie. read more

I love egg rolls. We ordered from then tonight. The food was hot and egg rolls were yummy read more

haven't had Kai's for about 5 months very disappointed no flavor in the fried rice or dumplings no flavor in the medium pepper wings cookies were stale This was my favorite place but not anymore read more

Make sure to realize, this is a take out joint with a couple of tables ... this review is not for "eat in" service, food only! Everything we got here was delicious. Any time we go for Chinese food, we try to go in first for a whiff. If it smells like burnt grease, we're out of there! If it doesn't there's still the chance of greasy food. Not here!!! Appetizers: Crab rangoon (hard to find item) -- a tad sweet but nicely crispy and a decent amount of crab. Fried dumplings -- delicious and not too doughy. Good dipping sauce. Yang Chow fried rice: This (white rice with lots of stuff in it) is a somewhat hard to find favorite of ours. Did not disappoint. Entrees: Spicy beef -- woo oot! It IS spicy as advertised. Sweet & Sour pork -- a favorite, but too often a bad dish using grizzly bad pieces of pork. Not here. Tender and juicy little puffs, not greasy. Generous portions, granted we ordered more food than one dinner, but the small sizes for the entrees and the rest was more than enough for two dinners for two. No grease on reheating either. We'll be back when in the area. read more

Driving through and needed a lunch place so the high reviews led us here. First the good -- my chicken with broccoli with garlic sauce was good. The white meat chicken was good quality and along with the broccoli sauteed to perfection. The hot and sour soup the lunch special came with though tasted of pure black pepper! The sesame chicken we also got was bad. Mostly tasted of fried batter/coating - much too fried and not much actual chicken with a bad oil flavor. There was some sort of I guess free deep fried item with sugar on top in our bag - perhaps it comes with the lunch special.. I don't know but it had the worst taste I've possibly ever had -- like rancid oil.. something gone very bad. Very nice people so I feel badly posting this but stay away from the fried type of food and stick with the sauteed/steamed! read more

The best Chinese ever. Very delicious , simple and amazing. There is no msg at all in the food. Everything was top notch good .

We've lived in Danbury for a year and this is our go-to place for Chinese takeout. Good selection, great tasting food, and great customer service. I'm so pleased they've been able to stay open through Covid and the food has stayed consistently good. The owner is a genuinely kind person. read more

We are new to the area and we are happy we found Kai's! There food is always fresh and delicious! Everything we've tried on the menu so far has been great. Great pricing, great service 5 stars all around! read more

I got the shrimp Chow Ho Fun, which was exactly what you'd expect for the price. The portions were good, and it tasted good as well! We dined inside the restaurant, which was small, but there were enough booths as well as a waiting area for order pickups. The service was great as well! Everyone was super polite, and they gave us complimentary iced tea as we waited for our order to arrive. My only complaint was that my pair of chopsticks gave me multiple splinters, which may have been a fluke with just that pair. Still, I would be cautious with those wooden chopsticks. Overall, I had a great experience at this restaurant, and would definitely come again! read more

Kai's Place is my absolute favorite and go to Chinese take out in Danbury! Food is always great and service is excellent. I highly recommend this place! read more

This is definitely some of the best Chinese food I've had in CT. We recently moved from another part of the state and we've been trying all different Chinese places in the area trying to find our new spot. I found this place from the reviews online and had high hopes. I have to say I was not disappointed at all. Best crab rangoons I've ever had! They also gave us free donuts with our order, which were great! Everything tasted fresh and nothing was overly greasy. My fiancé generally doesn't even like Chinese take out, but he loved this place and said he'd come here regularly. We will be back! read more
