I recommend their walnut shrimp! During lunch hours, I eat here quite often. Lunch specials are under $10. and the food is very tasty. Lunch specials offer complimentary soup and hot tea. You can tell them not to add MSG and they wont. I tried everything on their lunch menu and I've liked them all. It's not a fancy restaurant, and the place isn't too spacious but the food comes out quick, the workers are very friendly and you walk out with enough food to take home. Enjoy read more

Hidden gem in Milpitas! Great menu with a mix of Chinese/Korean food. We always do take out: fried rice, Korean style sweet and sour pork. Dry fried chicken wings are good, too. The Koong's wonton soup is also a great pick me up for a cold winter day/night. read more

Orange chicken and Koong's beef are unforgettable, generous and flavorful servings. The ingredients are fresh and the chef's cooking is excellent. Service is also good. read more

We ordered via doordash and the order was super quick and very carefully packaged. all items were piping hot. The food was super tasty and the portions were huge. They are very generous in the number of fortune cookies too. Will definitely order from koongs many times over. read more

Just moved to the area a week ago and was craving some of my moms home cooking. I was pretty hopeful of this place based on reviews and pictures. I ordered mapo tofu and Hong Kong style crispy noodles. Both dishes were alright. The mapo tofu was made differently than what I'm used to. It had a red oil layer on top which made me feel a little disgusted knowing my intake of it. The dish needed something a little extra, it just tasted very bland. Same with the crispy noodles. It's supposed to have chicken, beef and shrimp and I was only given one shrimp... why even bother including shrimp when you're only going to the customer 1 piece, right? Overall, a bit disappointed with the place. However, the workers were very sweet and friendly read more

Since so many review of this place compare the dry fried chicken wing with San Tung in SF (which caused for me and the family to try this place while in the south bay), I feel the strong need to clarify. Is it comparable to San Tung base off chicken wing? NOT by a long shot. The seafood noodle soup was decent but again not close to San Tung. When ordering we asked for less spicy after waiter confirmed that it can't be made none spicy. I specifically said it was for my 6 year old that love San Tung's wings...why in hell is there jalapenos everywhere? Service was pleasant and attentive hence 2 star. Bottomline...with so many Chinese/Korean options in the south bay I would not return here for another meal. read more

The food is very Americanized or cooked to suit the western palate. Most of the customers are non-Asian. The food is tasty but not authentic Chinese. read more

They deliver during the SIP (via DoorDash) for those looking for some Korean-Chinese food!

Koong's is a great local Chinese/Korean asian fusion restaurant, probably more a 4.5 but rounded up for consistency and service. I've been coming here for years with my family and the owners are so kind and welcoming. Recently, I came here with a pretty large party (around 20 people?) and they were able to get us a reservation and recommend lots of dishes. Some highlights were the chicken wings (SOO GOOD), honey walnut prawns, fish with black bean sauce, and Koong's tofu with minced meat. I come here every so often with my family, so you should too! read more

This place never disappoints me. I remember going here as a young girl with my grandma, and to this day even though she's gone, I come back. Tonight we ordered lemon chicken, Kung pao chicken and honey walnut prawns. Everything was spot on amazing! The lemon chicken is super sweet so if you don't like sweet it's not for you. This is, and will always be, my go to Chinese restaurant. read more

We had already tried some take out food from here a while back, and it was pretty good, so we decided to stop in and have some dinner. I was really happy to see Black Mushrooms on the menu, in fact, with Baby Bok Choi which I also really like. So that was one of the things we ordered. Recently I've ordered some items for pick up, food was hot, fresh, and made to order. They were able to accommodate my special request (a certain vegetable combination which wasn't on the menu) which was going above and beyond which earns them 5 stars from me. I will be back to try more of their food, and I would recommend to friends and family. read more

The best Chinese food outside of San Francisco. Fresh vegetables, perfectly flavored soups, great main dishes. Hard to decide what to order, I've never been disappointed. Friendly staff and quick service. read more

I had a terrible experience with ordering food here. I have not received my food, nor did Koon's assist me in getting my money back. After my delivery was 30 min late, I called to check on the status. I was told that the food was ready, but it was not out for delivery yet. After another 30 min of waiting, I called again and got the same answer meaning the food had been standing there for over 30 min. I asked to cancel my order and get a refund, but the person I talked to did not feel responsible in resolving the issue. Instead I was asked to call another service that aparently does the delivering. At the end I got no food and had to call at several places to find out who would refund me. read more

The food was average and the service was very slow even though there weren't many people in the restaurant. I tried the Mongolian beef and chicken with black bean sauce. To be fair, these dishes don't seem to be exactly what the restaurant is known for, so perhaps some of their more famous dishes taste a bit more special. But overall, I've had better and probably won't be coming back. read more

jjajangmyeon is watered down or light on flavor based on ratio with sauce -- that's too bad but the jjamppong is better and spicy. dry fried chicken wings not as good as tong soon garden, but ok. read more

Decided to give this place a try based on the reviews. Went there expecting this to be a Korean restaurant so when we drove up and saw the neon sign on the door that read "Chinese Food," we had a bad feeling and contemplated going somewhere else. Well, in short, this place (owned by Korean I believe) serves non-authentic Chinese food. Their offerings are definitely more for caucasians. (And most diners there on the day we visited were caucasians.) We ordered the black bean sauce noodles as well as the spicy seafood noodle, both of which seem popular choices with fellow Yelpers. The first was very mediocre and the latter had noodles that were overcooked in a broth that was alright. Wish the broth was actually spicy. Service was rather slow too. The restaurant wasn't even busy and it took a long time to get our food. Maybe if the kitchen didn't take its own sweet time, our spicy seafood noodle won't have noodles that taste too soft? I don't know...just a thought! So my hubby & my consensus as we looked at each other in the parking lot after the meal? "Well, at least it was cheap!" read more

I ordered take out for the first time, and it was quick and easy. I'm new to the Milpitas area and was looking for something reasonable and this is great. I ordered the snow peas and shrimp. Quite filling and tasty. I recommend for lunch takeout. read more

I wanted to try jajjangmyeon around here since its closer to home than Santa Clara. I walked in and I was expecting it go be more korean like but its actually a very chinese style restaurant. The menu has combos for lunch, but like i said i got jajjangmyeon, tangsuyuk, and my bf got another order of mapo tofu It did feel like they were rushing us out but they got crowded for lunch quickly especially since a lot of business people tend to go here. The portions are relatively big for only two people and everything was really good. I recommend if you're just looking for a nice ace for dinner! read more

The food is not bad and the service was great. We ordered Liang zhang pi and it's was hug! Love the seafood and the pi, only thing that could be better is that you might want to put in less onions. It got pretty spicy. read more

I'm not a soup eater, but their Sizzling Rice soup is awesome. And the Koong's Fried Rice is worth killing for (just a joke DHS, don't come and get me). The rest of the foods I have tried are good to great and the protions are generous, but the above are my favorites. read more

Service is good. The food is OK, but came quickly.

Decent place for Chinese food. There are a lot of other Chinese restaurants in the area so it's hard for this restaurant to stand out. I ordered the black pepper chow fun and the ma po tofu. The ma po tofu was really spicy (had that tastebud-numbing sensation) and the chow fun was tasty. The service was good here, but the food was mediocre in my opinion. read more

Milpitas local here, came here for the Korean/Chinese Jjajangmyeon (black bean sauce noodle), and was disappointed. Was expecting something like Palace Chef on Thornton Ave in Fremont, but was far off from it... 2 servers on an non-busy night. Service was okay but was WAY TOO slow. We waited for 30 mins at least for our noodle and food, while a person was complaining loudly about his take out order being 30-45 mins, and at least 3~5 tables un-cleaned. They ended up giving a $5 refund to the takeout customer. By the way, after I verified my credit card statement, I was overcharged on the tip portion, where a decent amount was given already... We are never coming back to this place... read more

Went with friends for lunch and ordered jjamp bbong. All my friends got their food.. and im still waiting for my food.. close to an hour passed and i asked about my order and the waiter says its coming out.. waited another 10 min and still no food... i called the waiter and he says its coming.. 1 hour for jjamp bbong.. really??? So i tell the waiter cancel the order.. he says okay.. and doesnt even apologize.. it was more like they were upset that i was cancelling an order after they took 1 hour to get close to get the food out.. i dont know if it was their off day or something.. but 1 hour for jjamp bbong is unheard of.. yeah probably never going back... read more

I ordered wonton noodles soup and some other dishes for to go. Since I was waiting for food preparation, I called a cup small bowl of hot and sour soup. Upon paying my bill, I asked the waiter for the copy of the bill because he just told me the total amount. He then looked kinda uneasy: when he summed up everything, it didn't come out right (around ten dollars less than the amount he charged me on my debit card). Then he recalculated but this time, he raised the cost of two cup of hot & sour soup (from $3 on his scratch paper, at the beginning) to $5.00; and so on with other items, then he just told me the amount, same with the one I was charged, without justifying each item. The whole time I was there, I had to keep a good distance because it seemed like he did not brush his teeth at all; and despite the long distance, he still smelled pretty badly. I don't know if the ownership has changed, but I usually saw different lady there, along with different staff. Anyway, with this bad experience, I would never go back! read more

One of my co-workers retired and we had lunch there. 17 people came and we used the one round table in the restaurant and other tables were placed close together to acomodate everyone. I made sure to visit the restaurant before hand and picked out the menu asking my co-workers what food they would like to eat. We decided on eating lemon chicken, honey walnut prawns, chow mein noodles, beef with vegetables, and a few more. The food came hot and I made sure no msg is used (although they could not promise on the meat as some marinade is used to give flavor on the food the marinade may have msg) My co-workers enjoyed the lunch, but overall I thought the honey walnut prawns was breaded too heavily, could have been better. Lemon chicken was good, but again could have been crisper and lighter. read more

Clean, good service, and our food tasted just right--not too saucy, greasy, sweet, etc. We ordered: -- *Favorite* Korean spicy garlic fried chicken (kkanpunggi): hot, tender, with a heaping of peas, carrots, etc -- Pan(?) black bean noodles (jaengban jjajang) -- Sweet and sour pork (tangsuyuk): I liked the light, white sauce because it wasn't overly sweet (like at many other restaurants), but my dad didn't like it as much read more

This is legit Korean/ Chinese cuisine. Hands down THE BEST JJAMBBONG AND JJAJJANGMYUN AROUND!! The flavors are deep, rich and you can taste the love. The tangsooyook is so velvety and supple. The pork is the tenderest, most juiciest I've ever had. Almost makes you wonder what kind of magic they're using because no one ever gets it this perfect. Wizardry. read more

A hidden gem of Milpitas! Came here on a whim for a Friday date night and was pleasantly surprised to find a quiet atmosphere. From the outside, it doesn't look like much, but is plenty spacious and ambient inside. I felt very welcomed! My boyfriend and I were accommodated quickly and had our food sitting in front of us in about 10 minutes despite a large party that had just arrived after us. Portions are perfect, menu has plenty of variety, and the prices are fair for my college student budget. The hot and sour soup was DELICIOUS! My personal favorite thing to order off the appetizer menu is the fried prawns. Need any more convincing? I had once hosted two Chinese exchange students in high school and brought Koong's home for dinner for them to sample one night. They told me it was the most authentic Chinese cuisine that they had come across in the States! How's that for proof! read more

Food tastes good, but be careful if you get takeout - the portions are large and overflowing the boxes, so be prepared for sauce to get EVERYWHERE when you unbox. read more

I've always ordered take out so this review is just for their take-out. Good customer service, their always super nice :) I always order on the phone and it's done with 10 minutes. I tried their Mongolian beef bbq and sadly it lacked in flavor and it was too greasy for me. It also came with white rice, so this dish is VERY heavy. I felt so gross after eating this meal. I occasionally order from Koong's and each time it's just okay. I'd probably return to try other dishes if I'm craving quick Chinese to go or actually eat at the restaurant. read more

This place is fantastic. If you're looking for the kind of Chinese food you might be used to from the East coast, this fits the bill. It is very Americanized without being panda express-style. Authentic Chinese is great and all, but when that's ALL that's available you start to miss the stuff you grew up with. If that's the case for you, give Koong's a try. It is delightfully old-fashioned Chinese. I hope it never ever changes. read more

This is a family owned place. Small and intimate but absolutely delicious and great prices. The owners are quick to remember their clients and are personally out on the floor interacting with the costumers. They have music and karoke on some evenings which is fun, even the people working there will get up and sing! Great spot!! read more

It's refreshing to have a Chinese restaurant that does exceedingly better than most places. Koong's offers the typical dishes one can find at any mainstream Chinese restaurant, but also serves up dishes that a little harder to find at any other restaurant. For example, the seafood noodle soup dish is very flavorful and spicy, and I have only seen it served here. I recommend this place if you're looking for very reasonable Chinese. read more

Eat here at your own risk. First, the server knowingly sticks her finger in our sweet and sour sauce and pretends she didn't. She doesn't even acknowledge it and just wipes her finger on her pants. Then, after the dinner, our bill was $41. We paid $30 in cash (a $20 bill and two $5 bills) and asked for the rest to be put on a card. She gives us a credit card bill for $26 instead of $11. We tell her it's a mistake and she won't even acknowledge us. We've never felt so cheated. Really? She wouldn't even look in the cash drawer to possibly realize her mistake. Wow. Worse yet, I visit their website and the server that night was the owner herself!!!! Unbelievable. read more

I have been coming here for a couple of years now and nothing much has changed but the interior which is great! I always ordered the honey walnut prawns or the salt and pepper prawns, a must have for me, then random items each visit. For cold days I recommend their wonton soup and their sweet and sour soup, very soothing. Just to be aware, it is family style! The employees are very nice and one of the ladies remember as the girl who orders prawns, whether over the phone for take out or dining in. I see complaints about the food being too greasy, but it's like.. ITS CHINESE FOOD. A lot of Asian food is greasy to begin with. I absolutely love it here, it's a Milpitas gem to me. Thank you Koongs for being my all time favorite Chinese spot! read more

Everything is really good. I love their chicken wings and their lamb dishes. The owner is very nice. And they're open till later

Service is excellent and food is amazingly delicious! Chicken chow mein, lemon chicken, steamed rice, and some other spicy chicken that I forget the name but they were all so good! Hidden gem in Milpitas. read more

Ok so this would've been four stars if it was based solely on my first experience, which was nice. My family and I came in one night and the Korean lady serving us was great. The food came out a bit slowly but other than that it was pretty decent and the experience had me planning on returning. The second time, we came in during the afternoon, so there was a completely different staff working. The service was a bit slower because it was more crowded, but it was still ok. My mom ordered the Singapore vermicelli, and she asked for a box because she couldn't finish it. She had around three or four shrimps left on her plate because she doesn't eat shrimp. The server took the plate in, boxed it for us, and we paid and left. When we got home, we opened the box and discovered that ALL THE SHRIMP HAD BEEN TAKEN OUT WHEN THEY PACKED THE NOODLES FOR US. Either some employee decided to eat them, or they were being ridiculously cheap and unsanitary and were going to reuse the shrimp for another dish? Either way, WOW! I have NEVER seen this happen before. Not sure if I'll be going back again. read more

Nice decent food. They are very good at their sauces. If you like strong heavy taste, you should give this place a try.
