Koong didn't impress me too much. The meal was kinda bland and unimpressive. The restaurant itself has no character and looked like a hole-in-the-wall with left-over furniture from Grandma Koong's basement. They totally oversauced their food and I probably wouldn't go back. Nonetheless, the price was decent. C-. read more

I love their lunch specials and they have quick, nice service. This is helpful especially during the lunch hour. My favorite is the shrimp with snow peas for $6.95. They give a full portion of the food, rice, and hot & sour soup. The food is not at all cooked in heavy MSG unlike my other review of Xanh....never again at that dump. Plus at Koong's, they do not cook their foods heavy in cornstarch either unlike my experience at King Wah in Sunnyvale. read more

The Mongolian Lamb w/ fried rice is all eat here! Great service and food at a decent price!

I love this little restaurant. It's a little cozy place my fiancee & I go to several times. We like it because its cheap! But just because its cheap it doesn't mean the food isn't good, we love the food! I think its family owned and I'm pretty sure the lady that works there remembers our faces lol. P.s. and I always get my fried rice to go fix from here. read more

A great place for a quick lunch. My favorite is their tofu with beef over rice.

Delicious!!! I love this place. Friendly staff, full bar, awesome food. I am very picky when it comes to Mongolian beef & theirs is pretty good! Their walnut prawns are wonderful! read more

I've been coming to Koongs for over 15 years and I visited many Chinese restuarants in my time. This place is on the top of my list. The staff is friendly and they will cater to your needs, so if you want something not on the menu, just ask. read more

Koong's is a really good neighborhood take-out place. I recently gave a Lunar New Year party and got all the food from Koongs. I got nothing but compliments. 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

This is a great place to eat. It has gone though some change a few years ago but it has not changed the good taste of the food.

Wow, so cool that this place is still around. It has been there for at least 20 years. I grew up across the street from Henry Koong and his family. Don't know if they are still the owners, but they were a nice family. I used to play with their daughter, Jennifer. So actually, I haven't been to the restaurant in 20+ years, and I have no idea if the food is any good, but they are nice people. 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

Not impressed, the food was unsatisfying and the service was poor. I think you're better off going across the street to Panda Express. Their eggrolls... something that simple.. tasted so bland, kinda like dirty cabbage. I don't plan on being a repeat customer. read more

Meh, I've experienced better. I don't go here for ANYTHING ethnic...just the sweet and sour pork from my childhood... But when at the country house, it is very convenient for me to pick us up some take out. And it's always OK, nothing crazytalk -the staff are nice, the place is clean and the price is cheap. 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.

Order was not ready when I got there - in fact, they haven't even knew that there was an incoming order, although their app clearly showed my order there. Food was ok, not more than that. One dish was quite spicy but that wasn't mentioned in the menu. Since I already got home, there was nothing I could do. read more

Love the food and service. Salt and pepper Calamari, Mongolian Beef, and wontons in chilli sauce are my favorites. Whenever I come here service and food are always great. read more

Wow, great dry fried chicken wings! Definitely going to keep getting these for my party events. Tried the cham pong noodles, fish puff, and wings, and I am super impressed by the taste and customer service! Definitely going to be coming here often as a regular! read more

What can I say! This Chinese-Korean restaurant is as good as it gets, and they cook it fresh too. So yummy. So we came here in a Saturday noon, just in time to eat some lunch with family. My brother and his family recommended this place, and said they serve great Korean_Chinese food. So I was so excited to try this restaurant out. They have a big dining room area, and food came out hot and it was really good. So we ordered the following: SOUP: Westlake soup - this was a good appetizer and it was cold outside, so we ordered this soup that had diced ham,peas, eggs, green onions in a typical slightly thick broth. It was good for starters. 3/5 but was tasty and more ingredients makes it a hearty appetizer. MAIN ENTREES: JAJANGMYEON: I came here to try their Seafood Black Bean Sauce Noodles. The noodles are made of flour, water. It was supposed to be chewy in texture, but still easy to cut with your teeth. Then the black sauce had some garlic, green onions, onions and other spices and with seafood chunks. This so far is excellent that I had as for this dish. 4.5/5. Always served in big portions, and it was really great. It's hearty, comfort Korean food, and it really feels good. This is really filling. KOREAN STYLE SWEET AND SOUR CHICKEN: This is a deep fried battered chicken, and the Korean sweet and sour sauce is different from the Chinese counterpart. This sauce is slightly clear, little sweet with pineapple juice or some type of syrup which Koreans use. It has also some vinegar, and other chunks of pineapple, thinly sliced raw Vidalla onions, carrots, cucumbers and some mushrooms. This sauce is clear, slightly sweet and sour but it is clean. It complements well with the Jajangmyeon. The deep fried battered chicken is fresh, so it's piping hot, not too greasy, and the batter is still crispy. 5/5. KOREAN SPICY CHICKEN WINGS: Chicken wings have been deep fried, and it is stir fried with a sweet and spicy (Szechuan peppers on top) with carrots and peas. This was a game changer, and it was really good. I would order this again next time. Make it mild, and others can eat this. 6/5. HAPPY FAMILY: A Chinese dish that has snow peas, mushrooms, carrots, mussels, squid. I didn't eat it. It was your typical Happy Family dish. 3/5. BANCHAN: RAW WHITE ONION CHUNKS WITH BLACK BEAN SAUCE: side dish that goes with the Jajangmyeon. KIMCHI: it was OK. PICKLED RADISH: it was OK FOOD: I would come back for more to try other dishes, and get the Korean sweet and sour chicken, Spicy chicken wings and choose a different dish on the menu. It was so good, and wanted more. If you ordered one of their noodle dishes especially the Jajangmyeon. I don't think you need to order steamed rice(it wasn't necessary).The sauces and their dishes are all flavorful, and it was out of this world. Portions are moderate to big/ 6/5. AMBIENCE: Dining area is pretty big, so families and big groups can reserve seats and eat here. From all walks of life, people like to eat here because it was unique. 4/5. CLEANLINESS AND ORGANIZATION: I highly recommend this establishment for being clean compared to a Chinese owned restaurant, where in they skip some attention to details. Like glasses, silverware are sparkling clean, no residue is found. SERVICE: A young male server helped us, and when it was getting to busy. The older woman helped out to get the food out. Service is great!!! They treat you politely, courteously, and apologize when they forgot to you drinks and such. 5/5. OVERALL: 5/5. A Korean-Chinese restaurant that is very casual and welcoming. You don't get rushed and have a good time eating. The food here is excellent which is served like Chinese but there are some excellent Korean food as well. They take great pride and care on making their sauces, and the dishes taste excellent. A way that Chinese-Korean cuisine should taste like. The owners are friendly, it is family owned, and like the service too. I will definitely come back here again to try more dishes, and get some of my favorites here. This is a good way to satisfy your craving after watching your favorite Korean dramas. And then yo saw a particular Korean dish that you have been watching. They close at midnight (12AM). But check the business hours by calling to see they are open. Such a great place to eat. read more

Another place where the food is ruined by the service. I wouldn't say that the food here is great but it's not half bad. It's the only place close by that serves jiajiang mein and I need to get my fix every once in a while. The big issue is that I have never seen this place properly staffed. It's always super slow, from the service to the kitchen to the check out. Everything taked an eternity to do. I would have given this place 3 stars just for the food but the wait time for everything really bumps it down one read more

Ordered food to go from Koong's and was sorely disappointed. The bottom line--they find the cheapest, poorest quality meat to serve their customers. We ordered beef broccoli, king pow chicken, egg rolls. The egg rolls were gross --the dough was still raw! The beef and chicken simply tasted like crap. Save your money and choose from the many other Chinese restaurants in town. Big thumbs down to Koong's, and I won't be patronizing this restaurant again. read more

Very unpretentious simple setting. We had fried chicken and a chili shrimp dish with white rice. Portions are more than enough for 2. Taste wise probably not mind-blowing but definitely worth a second visit. read more

Delicious food! Maybe I'm a little biased since my friend's cousins run this place, but I've been going here for over ten years and it's been consistently good. read more

My co-workers and I were trying to find new places to have lunch and we came across this through Yelp. It's a little far, but we'll try it out anyway. As we walked in, saw some of the food awards all over the walls. I thought we were going to be in for some good food. Before ordering, they immediately served the Hot & Sour soup. Soup had TOO much vinegar in it that made it too sour. I ordered the "Chili Chicken". Man, it was HOT and spicy like hell to a point at which it was almost unedible. Obviously, I didn't finish the whole plate. My co-workers tried the Szcheuwan Prawns and Mongolian Beef. Kinda bland. The service was decent. But typical chinese restaurant....nothing special. I was disappointed. This wasn't worth my gas $$$. read more

Pretty tasty Chinese food. I just expected them to pile more food for the prices they charge. I bought 4 dishes with rice and expected it to feed 3 people easily. Sadly it fell short in my book. The ma po tofu and sesame chicken were pretty good. If they increased their volume or lowered their prices, i would give it a 4 read more

Great food and service. It's always nice to see the owners at the restaurant. This is one of the restaurant I love going to and their service excellent. You always get the owner serving and checking up on customer. read more

My favorite Chinese restaurant near my home. It is a tradition to eat here everytime I visit my hometown.

I've been going to Koong's since I was a child. I believe this was the first Chinese Restaurant in Milpitas. I love the Mongolian beef, in fact I believe this was the place where I first ate Mongolian beef. I've eaten at hundreds of Chinese joints, but I keep returning to Koong's. read more

I absolutely love this place. The food is very good and so is the customer service. My favorite dishes are the sweet and sour pork and the chicken chow mien. If you are looking for a good Chinese place to eat at I recommend coming to Koong's! read more

Mmmmm the dry fried chicken is a must get! It's the perfect amount of spice for some kick

tried this location on two different occasion. both times things went wrong. both were to go orders. both times they messed up the order. this last time I asked for Mongolian beef and they gave me chicken? food is a bit salty so I asked for less salty, food is still salty. portions are moderate to large. Mongolian beef and combination fried rice are pretty good. I would pass on the chow mein. read more

This was the restaurant we went to after the funeral of a friend's son. Don't ever go to this restaurant. They are so slow! One hour passed before they gave us the drinks! All they keep doing is count the people that are sitting down. And so rude! Everytime they gave the platter of egg roll or shrimp for example...they would shout..one each!! So one of the guys at the table said...we are missing one egg roll...the waiter said..oh no! I counted! He didn't give the egg roll. That is so annoying and amusing at the same time. The food sucks! Dishwater soup. Bland bland bland food!! read more

Good home-style cooking. It is a mom-and-pop, but service is solid and many times better than the Red Lobster around the corner. They are a Milpitas favorite where many regular customers are greeted warmly by name. Yes, I'm one of them. If you like corporation-cooked copy of Chinese food cooked by non-Asians, you have a choice across the street next to Wing Stop. If you like home-style authentic (dare I use the word "artisan") cooking, come here. read more

only come here for the hot and sour soup. I love me some HnSS. Kinda jipped when you have to pay extra to get the meat version. sneaky. Its ok...does the job but they should put more stuff in it, like egg, fresher tofu, and green onions. Just saying. read more

I came here and tried their jajamyun (noodle with black bean sauce), sweet and sour pork, fried rice, and seafood noodle soup. First, I love it when Chinese restaurants have home made noodles because it makes the dish taste so much better. Unfortunately, the noodles were definitely not homemade and the portion was not friendly. The jajamyun sauce and seafood noodle soup base were however decent. With homemade noodles, I think this restaurant can do a lot better. Sweet and sour pork was ok. Fried rice was decent. Would I come back here again? Yes, if I was craving these food and I didn't want to travel to Santa Clara for better food. read more

Best Chinese food. Authentic-ish, so be warned Panda Express / Orange Chicken fans.

awesome place! always open late and always willing to serve customers even when they walk in close to closing time. The owner is amazing nice and pleasant. Definitely one of my favorite places to come eat. they also have amazing lunch and dinner specials. read more

Still better then most Chinese you'll find around. Friendly staff and nice environment.
