The restaurant is tasteful and attractive. The server was very friendly and attentive. We shared Won Ton Soup, which is very delicious and included BBQ Pork, lovely Fresh Vegetables and plump Won Tons in a savory broth. We decided to choose Combo Plates with 4 items, I chose Chicken Chow Mein, Sweet & Sour Boneless Pork, Almond Chicken and Beef Chop Suey. The food was freshly prepared and hot. The plates were beautifully presented, the foods were vibrant, flavorful, and succulent. The portions were generous. My brother had a similar plate but chose Deep Fried Prawns instead of Sweet & Sour Pork. The meal was satisfying and comforting. i thorougly enjoyed it. The owner came to the table to deliver the Soup & the meals. She proudly presented their efforts in the kitchen. It was an entirely delightful evening. I look forward to returning there soon! read more

Ordered take out. I'm from out of town... deadly serious, this was the best Chinese food I've ever had. I'm no expert, but it seemed like the food was homemade. Portion size was perfect/ generous. I came to Vernon for the sunny days. Next time I visit, I might even visit just for Kiki's. read more

Whenever I have an event, I get takeout from Kiki and it is great! The buffet has been closed down since Covid-19 for health reasons and I wish they opened soon. I won't go into the variety of foods presented at the buffet since they don't have it on but the take-out is fabulous. For take-out, they have a gluten-free menu and I order from that card of about 10 or 12 items. My wife isn't celiac and orders the won ton soup which she dies for. It is filled with slices of BBQ pork, won-tons, broccoli, carrots,green beans and a tasty broth. In my order they will also make GF-free any rice dishes they can. They are always friendly and accomodating. You know they create the food and don't just slam bam it together. read more

This is high-end Chinese you would find in expensive restaurants in China and Hong Kong. Do not order typical Canadian peasant food from here (fried rice, chow mein) stuff you would find in the mall, this restaurant you order the unfamiliar such as the Kiki Hot Pot, Chicken almond gai ding, vegetarian hot and sour soup. However everything is cooked to perfection including the beef and broccoli. Service was friendly, food came out super fast, bottomless pop, and decor took me back to the high end restaurants of my visit to China. You won't be disappointed. Buffet is still shut down. read more

See all

ordered sat night and yes lovely gal on phone but food so bland , i ordered food for 4 on there menu and chicken dishes so bland, chowmein bland , egg rolls good. I am a very good cook so next time I will make my own food. read more

Tried to buffet and at $20 per person for dinner on the weekend, it was pretty good value. Good selection of food and they don't use msg. They served fresh fruit including strawberries for dessert, which was a nice surprise. Clean and comfortable seating. One thing to be aware of- although they close at 9, they don't put anymore food out at around 815 for the buffet and you have to order from the menu. And they prepare to close it down, so make sure you come early. read more

Horrible food . This was by far the worst Chinese food I have ever gotten delivered . First they forgot part of my order then the deep fried won tons were as hard as rocks . The food had very little flavor also,the price I paid for this nasty food was outrageous. I had to leave one star to make a comment but definitely 0 stars from this experience and will NOT be ordering from here again . read more

This is our first time in Vernon, BC and we were craving some Chinese food. Picked Kiki Garden based on decent reviews online. We were so disappointed that even words can not describe. The ginger beef was so dry and had 0 taste, it was chewy. Sesame chicken was as bad. Only pork rice was semi ok. We were very hungry so we ate it. The price for 3 dishes is over $50. Paying that kind of money you would at least expect something that you enjoy and can stomach. We will never go back or recommend it to anyone. read more

Kiki Gardens was great value for the amount and quality of food we received. For my full review, click here: http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/2131393/review_kiki_gardens_restaurant_in_vernon.html?cat=9 read more

Only four stars due to OUR limited take away. If the rest of the food is as good as the Sweet&Sour pork, Chicken Chow Mien, and the Beef Chop Suey, then it's an easy 5 star ! But we only had the dinner for two (which has enough food for four adults) Fast service as I had called it in and then drove to pick it up. It was waiting for me when I got there We would order from them again. I think it's great! read more

Great food! Perfect portions for a family and and great prices! 100% recommend. best Chinese place in town. I'll definitely be eating here again very soon read more

Rating this a 1 star since I can't give it a 0. My fiancé and I just got to Vernon and decided to order Chinese. The food here is horrible. Everything was soggy , the chow mein was disgusting and the ginger beef tasted like they dumped a whole bottle of ginger into one serving. We had it delivered so i dont know if its better when you dine in but I don't recommend this restaurant at all. read more

$20 each and not much selection. Food wasn't tasty. Overheard waitress complain after a big table left "$20 tip on $350??" So guess what? No tip from me. read more

Picked up Take Out. Service was great. Food was 'fine', nothing special really. Overpriced compared to other restaurants we've used. Will look for somewhere else in the area to order from. read more

The food isn't bad, though I do wish they would have a little more flavour to a few of their dishes. No MSG is a huge thing, and the food is always fresh. As soon as you walk in you're greeted and never have to wait long to be seated. Let's face it, everyone loves the Smorgasbord ;) read more

this is probably is my favorite chinese restaurant in town. great service friendly owner and the flavour is great! love it wanna came back again read more

Always had super awesome food here. First place I ate after moving to Vernon almost three years ago. Recently has the wonton soup for one and it was amazing. Veggies were so fresh and cooked perfectly. Wontons were great. Kiki gardens is the best! read more

We ate here one night before a concert because it was a smorg and would be fast, which it was. What surprised us was that the food was Hot and included excellent items that don't usually show up on smorga: black bean dish, garlic prawns, and crab cream cheese puffs. read more

I have only had take out from here so I can't comment on the facility. What I can tell you about is the food. Fresh and clean tasting. The fried items had a nice crisp texture and the price is reasonable. I will definitely order again. read more

Want good clean Chinese food that won't make you sick or feeling horrible afterwards? Look no further. Excellent food, friendly staff. Very good deal for what you get. They're not skimping on anything. Nice folks who treated us very well and cook excellent food. Will be back next time we're in Vernon. read more

I'm just visiting Vernon and we decided to go for a family dinner here. The food was pretty bland. Here's the kicker though, we found a Bee on a raspberry. We didn't want to make a big deal out of it so I went up to one of the waitresses after we had paid, she was an older woman, I proceeded to tell her what happened and hoped she would tell the kitchen to wash their berries before they serve them. She then told me that it's impossible and they would have seen a bee if it was there. I said if the berries were frozen there's always a possibility a bee could have gotten caught in the bag, then she tells me the raspberries were not frozen (because raspberries are totally in season right now, right? And bees are totally just flying around in December?) so I told a younger waitress and she said she would tell the kitchen right away. So if you want to eat here, you should probably look at your food before you eat it. Also they don't clean the feces out of their prawns. read more

A friend and I were visiting from Kelowna, were hungry for buffet style, this place was recommended. Whether it was an off night - not sure. Food had obviously been sitting for a while as the prawns were white, a few of the dishes had crusted over, and veggies were almost mush. In the half hour we were there, not one item was replaced fresh. Since it was late we had a few items that looked like they were edible, biggest mistake of the night. By the time we got back to our hotel, the food was not staying down (or in). This lasted for almost two days. Worst place to eat. Would not recommend. I do recommend getting a health inspector in there as the food tables were certainly not hot enough. read more

The food was good. They kept replacing things so it was fresh. They have a good variety of items. Fast and friendly. They don't use MSG and the food wasn't salty. read more

Terrible service. Food was ordered 60 mins in advance and when I showed up on time they were unable to tell me when my order would be ready. With Chinese food places a dime a dozen go eat somewhere where they will appreciate your business. read more

We got take out from here. Just a couple combos. Food tastes more Indian than Chinese... The crab puffs were soggy, the sweet and sour sauce was tasteless and really runny and they make the sweat and sour pork differently now. All very blah and tasteless. Went back for smorg. Awesome smorg. read more

This food is not authentic Chinese food. Me and my boyfriend went there tonight for buffet and the food was old and flavorless. It also left a bad taste in my mouth. The service was ridiculous; my boyfriend had to get up and ask for a drink for me and the server had an attitude for some reason! On top of all of this, the owner dismissed our complaints with lame excuses! We've never gone here before, until tonight, and we will never be back. If you are looking for an amazing place to go for chinese food go to Queen Garden. They have the best buffet, the best and genuine service, and the best price for what you get. Amazing place. read more

The new owner Judy and her team have done an excellent job of creating one of the best Chinese smorgs in the Okanagan!! Hot and Fresh too. Be aware that its hard not to go back for more. I could not resist. Well worth the visit. read more

the service is good, very friendly, but it is a bit pricey, the food is average nothing special, the buffet is a little small not too much selection and again, over priced. read more

I went here a couple of days ago, somewhat by accident. Travelled out from Kelowna, but forgot to check if the place I was going to was open. We were in a group and really hungry, so decided to step in jere as it was close by and had a buffet dinner. The price was very affordable even for a dinner buffet and the number of items was more than enough. They had a choice for everyone. From seafood to meats and even vegetarian. The taste was standard for all the main courses, nothing really oustanding though. The staff was very nice and helpful. One of our members being vegetarian was unable to take the fried rice and the kitchen staff gave us an option of taking a veggie fried rice if we wanted to. That was a very welcome gesture. The dishes were refilled as soon as they were finished and the desserts were pretty good as well. Not so sure about the freshness of the fruits though, but the cheesecake and pie was definitely on the spot. Will definitely go again in the future. read more
