Update, this is still the best Chinese food restaurant in the area. Awesome prices even better food. Service is quick fast.

OMG! Consider our household to be the number one Kowloon fans after our most recent experience! It was insanely delicious. We have been on the search for tasty Chinese food and are so happy that we found the perfect place. We did not know what to expect for serving sizes and wanted to make sure to have enough food for football Sunday -- but we were pleasantly surprised by the size of the portions. They're HUGE! Ended up with lots of leftovers that were even more delicious the next day. What was even more wonderful was the kindness and service that I experienced when I went to pick up the food. We had a big order so one of the servers offered to carry the order to my car for me when it was ready so I didn't have to lift a finger! They even threw in some extra soup to go alongside the rest of our order. So, so kind! Definitely gives us a reason to keep coming back and also was a big reason why we started recommending everyone give them a try. We didn't eat inside, but it was nice and cozy and clean. read more

We were in Indio for a golf trip and had splendid service. We ordered take out and it was ready in 10 minutes. We ordered the orange chicken, bbq pork fried rice, chicken chow mein, beef broccoli and honey walnut shrimp. When we picked up the order they gave us steamed rice AND complimentary soup. There was four of us but the food could have fed 8-10 people. Portions are large so be forewarned. It was the most memorable meal that we had on a trip and would recommend. Thank you Kowloons! read more

It was much busier than I expected. The dark tint on the outside windows makes it deceiving from the outside. They were doing a brisk business. The portions were huge. We ordered the bbq pork with snow peas and the orange chicken. The chicken plate was gigantic, nice service from our Asian k li day friends too, everything was made to order. read more

If I hadn't been referred by a client I would have not have even have noticed the place in a little strip mall. I'm a low-carb guy so the medium wonton soup for $7.95 was really filling. Damn good! read more

Kowloon Chinese - Orange chicken &' noodles - Chinese Near Me - Indio, California

This is a hole in the one Chinese restaurant in Indio. Portion sizes are amazing and the price can't be beat. If you're comparing for Chinese food from SGV where I'm from, you'll be greatly disappointed. If you take it as American Chinese food, I think you'll be delighted. I order the Broccoli Beef which was delicious and the Honey Walnut Shrimp which tasted a little off (the mayo was weird and had a cheesy taste). The service was great, very mom and pop. read more

Wasn't what I expected. The portions are huge but the fried rice was mush, the orange chicken was ok but the terikayi chicken was not good. They put the sauce on the side and it was fried. Disappointed. Service was ok too but won't be returning. read more

Exceptional food, large portions, loyal locals fill dining room at lunchtime. I've never had a negative experience. Its a small biz restaurant, so those expecting fast food might be disappointed read more

I was on a mission to coachella and I was craving some comforting Chinese food after living off of coachella first day with only 3 hrs of sleep. I woke up around 2pm the next day after going to sleep at 3am. I was so exhausted and then woke up hungry. Luckily I caught the lunch special before 3pm. . Lunch special they have a combo which comes with fried rice and kungpao, cup of soup, and egg roll for under 15 bucks and comes with a big ice lemon tea. . Chow mein was an extra charge but it was worth it and it was comforting and held me up for the rest of the night at coachella. . Kung pao shrimp , filled with lots of fresh veggies. The flavor was just ok nothing special. There was about 6 shrimps which is a reasonable amount. Plenty of peanuts too. I might opt for chicken next time instead. . Egg roll was a great munch and crunch. It was a veggie spring roll. . Cup of soup reminds me of egg drop soup and perfect to wet your whistle. . Ice lemon tea was so good, I had drank 2 big 32 ounces of it. It was lightly sweetend and made it even better. . Service they came and refilled my cup. They were nice with extra napkins. Service was quick for dine in. . Ambiance cute casual setting. Nice parking lot too for parking. It was busy when I was leaving. . Hope this review helps and it helped with my chinese comfort food craving. Hope this review helps, thanks for reading. Have a yelptastic day. read more

Great people, very responsive to the customers need, large Portions, very fairly priced. read more

Classic local spot, always gives really big portions for a low price, and delicious food. Very quick service! They're such a cornerstone of the community, they know all their customers and have been around for such a long time! read more

Portion sizes are big, and service is good, but unfortunately the taste wasn't quite there for me and my family. We ordered 4 dishes and an appetizer and it was WAY too much food. I opted for a classic curry chicken, expecting it to be slightly spicy and super flavorful and it fell short of expectations. Both the Szechuan dishes we ordered also lacked spice (and one barely had any protein). The beef broccoli was the best thing we ordered, but we were regrettably too full to make a dent in it. If you're looking for fast service and a bang for your buck, I'd recommend dropping by; however if you're looking for authentic flavorful Chinese cuisine, might not be the best choice. read more

The food was plentiful and delicious. But the service wasn't good. Perhaps they were just having an off night, but we had to get someone's attention multiple times to ask for anything, and they forgot to bring us rice, which seems like it's usually standard. read more

Great service. Very noisy. Egg rolls were tasty but a little greasy. Food was very bland. It was busy. Probably won't go back but it looked like other people enjoyed their meals. I saw people with big piles of fried rice so maybe that is what's popular there. Waitresses are sweet. read more

We ordered way to much food for the 3 of us. As this was our first time trying Kowloon Chinese. In addition to the soup and three dishes pictured we had paper wrapped chicken and pork spare ribs. The paper wrapped chicken was good with a slight crispness on the outside the rest of the chicken was tasty and tender. The pork ribs were huge in size. They were a tad dry and tough. It felt like they were deep fried to heat them in order to be served. The soup broth tasted great. The ingredients were plentiful. The only thing missing from the soup was sliced bbq pork. That is just my family's and mine personal choice. We've had it both ways. All the food was good in taste and temperature. All the meat portions in the dishes were exceptional. And the value for the money was very good. When we arrived they seated us right away. The servers were busy cleaning up the tables for the previous mini rush that just left. The servers were all friendly and efficient. My family and I will definitely be trying them again read more

Food - super generous portions and affordable, but unfortunately bland and oil-laden. That said, you don't come here for a gourmet meal, but to fill your belly and roll out very full with plenty of leftovers for lunch (and maybe dinner) the next day, not to celebrate life milestones Service - quick and efficient, but our food came out in a perplexing order... apps and rice came AFTER a main dish Ambiance - packed on a Sunday night, diverse clientele (Tapatio at the table!) Would I go back? No, but glad I could experience the Yelp hype for myself. read more

The service is wonderful, the food is authentic and delicious. The prices are very inexpensive and you get alot of food. My husband, sister in law and I had to bring food home there was so much. Also we paid 39.00 for all 3 of us to eat. Totally worth it. This place is a gem. And the two waitress is on top of thier game. Happy and fast. read more

Gross food, greasy, bland, and over-fried. Used to really like this place but something has changed and it is no longer good.

Loved this place as a kid cause the food was good. Went last night the food was horrible. The orange chicken was literally 80% batter. I wish I was lying. Seems like the take small pieces of chicken and deep fry them together to look like bigger pieces of chicken. The noodles were different as well. The beef with veggies had literally no flavor. Tasted like boiled beef with sauce. And the free egg drop soup they gave me had the consistency of watered down hair gel. Last time I was there i didn't really like it but this time it sealed the deal. Never going back read more

Beside food being amazing the overall atmosphere and vibe was welcoming. before Coachella my group stopped by here to eat before going to the festival and portions were and filling and the staff was very nice. read more

Have had food from here in the past, this last time i went to actually pick it up instead of someone else and saw cockroaches on the booth and wall near the entrance, needless to say i declines my order and left, not cool! I know stuff happens at restaurants but it's usually in the kitchen not where the customers ever see it. Boo!! read more

This place is not fancy but it's a local hidden favorite. I highly recommend their house noodle soup and the wonton soup. Their soups are absolutely the best, portions huge and prices low. Very nice people too! Support local! read more

Went there for the first time today with a friend that recommended it. I have had my share of terrible Chinese food in my time, but this place gets 5 stars for the worst I ever had. The place looks dingy from the get go. The waitress was useless. I ordered the lunch special which comes with egg drop soup. I have never seen white egg drop before. It should be yellow from the chicken broth base. Cooking a lot of Asian food at home I could tell that this was a water base mixed with cornstarch and little bits of scrambled egg. It was so thick it looked like wallpaper paste. I ordered the Szechuan chicken, and told her no carrots please. We were still on the the wallpaper paste and the dish appeared way too short to be cooked fresh so that also lead me to believe that since it was loaded with carrots it was pre-made. Not only carrots, but way to many large chunks of zucchini, pea pods, and water chestnuts. with very little chicken and it was breaded which is wrong for this dish. The pieces were tiny and I was worried that I was not eating chicken. It didn't taste like chicken. MEOW! It came with a huge mound of what they called friend rice that had a burnt taste to it. It also came with an egg roll, I never saw a flat egg roll before. This was also very long and had a thin layer of cabbage in it and it looked more lick a pancake and very greasy. They seem to lure people in with very large potions and very tasteless food. Some people just don't care what they eat as long as it is large portions and cheap. Szechuan is suppose to be spicy. There was no spice in it at all, it was bland. Of course I did not finish the food, When I got home I hate to say this, but I had diarrhea. Do yourself a favor stay away from this place! It hurts me to even give it one star, it is one star too many. I can not believe the 5 star reviews saying how tasty the food is and the great service. Our waitress was so bad I was not going to leave her a tip, and I always leave one wherever I eat but my friend paid the bill so I am sure she got a tip that was not earned. read more

This was our first time at this restaurant that was recommended by someone my husband knows. I'm going to be honest here....the food was horrible! We arrived during lunch and received the lunch special. Service was too quick. Food was dry. Not tasty at all. I ordered Almond Chicken. My husband ordered Kung Pao Chicken. It seems to me the food was leftover from the day before. Not fresh. Portions way too large. The soup was like a thick paste. The fried rice was just white rice with soy sauce. The almonds and peanuts that were in the food were stale. I was shocked that the food was so horrible! We make better Chinese food than this! The parking lot is small and there is no name on the restaurant door. I will not be going back. The only reason I gave it a "2" rating is because we got seated right away and the two ladies that were there were nice. They really need to improve on their cooking. We were very disappointed. read more

This place is the best ,egg rolls to die for ,and the people are so nice I would recommend this place

Always delicious! Thank you so much, food is amazing and feels like home. Service is always so quick, I appreciate you guys!

DISGUSTING!!! We placed an order a little over $100 on Saturday, consisting of 3 veggie low mein, 2 orange chicken, 1 broccoli beef, 1 Mongolian beef & 1 Kung pao. The food was hot and everything seemed fine. While eating we noticed the onion in the Mongolian beef & Kung pao tasted off. A bit later everyone who ate the food had diarrhea. The noodles were oily & so was the Kung pao & Mongolian beef. Not sure if it was the oil or onion that caused this, but be careful. I've been debating posting this but I don't want anyone else getting sick. Maybe it was a one time incident or maybe it's happened before. I don't recommend it, stay away! read more

Went here the other week and thought it was fantastic. Portions are massive and will feed an army without breaking the bank. This is not your run of the mill Americanized Chinese food.
