Pad Thai
Shel D.

My first time going to Khoo was the other week with a friend. It was off hours, 2:30 on a Sunday but there were people coming and going - always a good sign. The queer o meter was a solid 10. Service was great and the food much better than I was expecting. I'm from Boston and I'm used to the Chinese food in the surrounding areas and from Chinatown but this place helped restore my faith in good Chinese food around here. We didn't go too fancy, as you can see in the pics, shrimp pad Thai, hot n sour soup and friend dumplings. The pad Thai is juicier than I like, but it was flavorful and fresh. The other 2 items were delicious. I really enjoyed the soup and dumplings. Next time I'll try them steamed and a different soup along with some apps. Def a place I'll go back to. Cheers!

$15 chicken fingers and crab Rangoon plate. Add egg roll.

Right off the bat, I will tell you that I am somewhat of an American Chinese food addict ... and expert. In my home of Los Angeles, there are simply no good 'junk food styie' Chinese restaurants anywhere. Not like the ones on the East Coast anyways. Obviously, the style of food they serve here would be unidentifiable in actual China. However, in my opinion, there is no better or tastier food on the planet than good old fashioned American-style Chinese junk food. It seems hard to fuck up chicken fingers and fried rice ... but somehow restaurants do. Let me start by saying that this is the best Chinese food I've had in Rhode Island. That's not saying much as every place I've tried to date here ... Cathay Garden, Two Sisters, etc. has not been worth going back to. Massachusetts completely blows away almost any other place I've eaten Chinese food (other than NYC). Khoo doesn't even come close to Yong Shing, Kow Loon, etc. in Massachusetts. But it's edible ... and decent. I was a bit bummed out that they don't really have big combo platters here. You have the option for a big pu pu platter for $26 ... or $13 appetizer and fried rice plates. You can pay extra to add different things, which is good. I ordered the option with fried rice, 3 chicken fingers and 3 Crab Rangoon for $14. I added an egg roll for $2.50. Chicken fingers ... Good, not great. The chicken inside was a little overcooked and rubbery. The batter was crispy but not as light as I'd have liked. The places that use rice flower for a tempura-style batter are much better. The size of the chicken fingers was good but I could have used 1 or 2 more. Crab Rangoon ... This is make or break for a Chinese restaurant. If they don't have good crab Rangoon, I am not coming back. (Looking at you Two Sisters and Cathay Garden) These were rounded balls vs. the triangles with the filling in the center. I've only seen this style a few times and it is more like a fried dumpling. Having said that, they were decent. Not great but good. There was a good amount of cheese. It didn't have that sweet, creamy cheese taste with a little sharpness from the garlic. I tasted no pieces of actual crab ... it was pretty much cheese with a crab seasoning. I'd put these on par with grocery store Market Basket 's crab rangoons. Nothing special ... but not terrible. I still ate them all. Fried Rice ... Pork fried rice here was better than most. Not that many pieces of pork and no fried egg. However it had enough spy sauce to be flavourful. The rice was dark brown ... and not the oily, light brown garbage most places make in large batches and dish out. This tastes fresher. The best fried rice I've had in Rhode Island. Egg Roll ... Nothing special. Small. Mass produced. No meat in it ... cabbage filling was bland. I would not order this again herez though egg rolls are my favourite. I found it very tacky that they charge $.35 for house made hot mustard and $2 for house made duck sauce. Otherwise they give you the sealed packets of corporate condiments which suck incredibly. Good sauces make Chinese food ... it is not great to need to pay extra for them. Overall, this will be my go-to spot for takeout Chinese in RI, unless I find better. It's by no means amazing and in Massachusetts would get 3 stars. However, it's nice to find Chinese food that is actually decent in RI.

Lunch Sesame Chicken
Lindsay C.

Went for music bingo and ordered the sesame chicken. Bingo was fun and well-done, and our server was nice and fast. The sesame chicken wasn't made with very high-quality chicken, so I wouldn't order it again. The rice was fine, if a bit dry. I appreciated that it came with an egg roll, and that was tasty.

Boneless, spare rebs.
Heather C.

It's a shame when a favorite restaurant goes downhill! We used to love khoo's, but the quality has become so inconsistent. The Nếm Chạo is still a winner, but everything else has been a major disappointment lately. We're sad to say we won't be back for anything else! #Restaurant #Food #Disappointment #Quality

Modern, stylish Chinese/Malaysian joint with an interesting menu, with many wings options, many combo plate options, and for two dollars extra, you can upgrade to a dinner combo, which includes a larger serving of the entrée, plus an egg roll. Egg Rolls: Not that lengthy, but decent girth, nice golden shell with crispness, and a cornucopia of goodies inside. Great color, nice crunch and moisture, and strong flavors from the celery-heavy greenery, the pork, the pork glaze, and seasonings. This one checks all the boxes and with an indelible marker. Elite. Boneless Spareribs (on an appetizer combo): Slices and chunks of pork, with some crispness here and there, in a sweet sauce (wet, as opposed to a glaze). Not dry underneath, but all of the moistness came from the sauce. Flavor and feel took me back to Tony Roma's, circa 1988. Average. Beef Teriyaki (on the combo): Tough act to follow, coming on the heels of elite ones at Dragon Garden a bit to the north, but these had good tenderness despite being thin. More soy than sweet in the marinade and glaze. Above average. Khoo Wings (on the combo): Not wanting to commit to a full order of one of their specialty wings (several flavors from different cuisines), merely a trial here (3 pieces). Dark, sweet, and a bit salty/funky. Firm-not-crisp skins with moist inner meat. Average. Shrimp and Lobster Sauce: Lighter than standard sauce, with ripples of egg affecting color and texture. Strong flavor to the meat, whose primary component was salt. It kept reminding me of something, and then it hit me: supermarket vacuum-sealed, smoked peppered salmon off the rack (very near the deli counter if you shop Market Basket). It kept hitting me: salty, salmony, and exactly like that product. Not horrible, but certainly not what I wanted. The shrimp were firm and enjoyable enough, but even without the sauce had that same salty salmon flavor. A little below average (but might be great for the right person). Egg Foo Yong (on a dinner combo): Served with sauce on the side, and by virtue of going with the dinner combo, two patties/omelettes instead of one. Crisp exterior, tender interior, decent porkage, but nothing notable. Mild Sauce. A little above average. Pork Fried Rice (on the dinner combo): Bland and with the puffy feel of couscous. Minimal pork, minimal flavor. (Note that this wasn't their Malaysian fried rice, which I'd assess with a different perspective.) Below average. Egg Roll (on the dinner combo): Hey, why not another half each? A nice reprise. Here we have another one of those Chinese meals with some highs and some lows, but good atmosphere, very good value, and enough highs to make it enjoyable. I don't see Khoo joining my regular rotation, but a top 5 egg roll and a deep menu of wings, noodles, and Malaysian fare is worth a second look and periodic returns.

This is a comfortable Asian restaurant with booth seating and a few tables in the bar area. They do a lot of take out here and when we entered the host asked 'how can we help you' instead of 'good evening', or even 'welcome' followed by 'dining in or take out?'. The menu has all the expected foods like sweet & sour, fried rice, crab rangoon, scallion pancakes and so on. They also have poke bowls, noodle bowls, sishi and sashimi. So choices. Their Khoo roll comes with a side of wasibi, pickled ginger and soy sauce is on the table. The waitress brought chop sticks for my roll. The table is set with a fork, knife and water goblet. This is a very casual restaurant. Be sure to ask for exactly what you want. A glass for your bottled beer, more water, whatever. Service was good and our waitress very nice. We paid by credit card and a 'customer copy' of the receipt was not included. So another thing to ask. Good amount of parking in their private lot. Restrooms at the back. Full bar.

Back again- and the flavors did not disappoint. We came to taste the must tries - indicated on the menu. The Loh Bak was crispy with a juicy - meatball like- shrimp and pork ball in the middle. A def must try. The Chicken satay was juicy and spiced just right The noodle CKT had a different umami flavor that was addicting. It was similar to a lo men however the meat and noodles ate a little dry. The black pepper steak had a nice crisp but the meat was a bit tough. But overall the food was good. The service was good too - they were friendly and attentive. And the ambiance gives off a local spot feeling. If you haven't tried this place yet it is a good option with many items. Everything from Poke bowls to sushi to Chinese staples to Malaysian - u can't go wrong. The daily specials are also worth the visit - so come and try especially Mon- Wed 5.99 appetizers. I will def be back.

Food was delicious. Beware the "Tips Suggestions" calculations at the bottom of the bill. Example 18% calculation is actually 22.5%. Just plain wrong...

When we went inside, there was only one other party there and no music, so just whispers and the sounds of utensils against plates. There are about 4-5 booths and 1-2 regular tables to choose from. Since l am not familiar with Sichuan cuisine, I had Al help me choose my dishes. I went with the dumplings in chili sauce, fried rice, eggplant in garlic sauce, and chongquin chicken. While we waited, we were given water. The dishes came out at different times. They first served us the dumplings which were really good. The sauce they were in did have some chili sauce, but it was mostly like a sweet soy sauce and really tasty. It came with about 6 dumplings with a perfectly cooked wrapper and filled with flavorful pork - simple but delicious. Next was the eggplant. I was expecting a heavy garlic presence, but it was more like a sweet and sour sauce. The eggplant was very tender, but really hot so we had to wait to let it cool down a bit. The rice came after. I honestly think this was one of my favorite dishes since it was perfectly cooked, great flavor, and good portion. Lastly, the chicken came out. There was a large pile of chicken, but half of it was peppers. The chicken was cut into little bite sized pieces, each fried perfectly. Some pieces were more tongue numbing than others but it was nothing aggressive; very gentle and comfortable numb. I would have liked if there were music, but the no music was fine too; an escape from chaotic reality. Our total was around $50, which wasn't bad for the amount of food we got. I would come back to try other items.

I've been fortunate enough to have some good Malaysian food outside of the Boston area as a standard of comparison. Very spacious inside, quick and kind service with a nice ambiance. One dish that I really like here that stands out from the rest is their roti canai appetizer, which comes with a nice piece of flaky roti that you can dip in a small bowl of their chicken curry. I think this is done well and something I would go back for if I were to return. Their Hainanese chicken rice is not too bad either although recent visits the chicken has been quite bony without much meat. However, what I've been disappointed by is that the food has gotten saltier and saltier with every visit for me. I've also had their nasi lemak and char kway teow before but thought they were just ok.

We ordered vegetable pad thai and were brought chicken pad thai. Granted, we were offered the opportunity to take the chicken pad thai home at no charge, which we accepted. We did not receive fortune cookies at the end of our meal. I still think their wonton soup is the best in town. We ordered the small ($3.50) with extra veggies, which was delicious. The Chinese egg rolls were meh; nothing special. And the pad thai, both the chicken and vegetable, were adequate. Unfortunately, their bathroom could use a thorough cleaning. Yuck. The total cost for 2 soups, 2 egg rolls (1 order) and one pad thai was $25.15, so the price point is reasonable. There is a 3% upcharge for using a credit card. In the future, I believe I would only visit Apsara for takeaway.
