    Chicken wing (got drumsticks instead)
    Laura C.

    I was in the area and craving something quick and easy, that would hopefully last me a few meals. Kowloon Kitchen popped up on my radar, seemed to hit the marks so I scoped it out. It's a small place with really only a counter to order from (no place to dine). Picked up their combination dinner which included: Pork fried rice, fried chicken wing, pork chow mein, and sweet and sour pork (total $19.50). I was pleasantly surprised to see that food was made to order, as I was expecting the typical pre-cooked Chinese food laid out under heating lamps or warming trays. Sweet, I thought to myself - bonus points on fresh Chinese food. It was about a 15 minute wait for my order during a period where the restaurant didn't seem too busy or slow. Fast forward to the unboxing at home - the chow mein and fried rice looked fine and as expected for fast food Chinese food. As for the fried chicken wings, I was disappointed to find two small fried drumsticks instead. I was expecting a fuller entree as the menu didn't specify these were only appetizers with a quantity of 2. I suppose for the price paid, you really shouldn't expect 4 full containers of food, but it felt a little misleading....and it was advertised as wings :( Additionally, the box with the sweet and sour pork wasn't full. If I recall correctly, it was about an inch to 1.5" below the top. I don't know about you, but most Chinese take out places typically fill food at least to the brim. Ah well. As for the taste....the fried rice and chow mein were a bit on the blander side. The fried rice actually had larger chunks of pork which was a little surprising considering the skimpiness of the sweet and sour pork. I ended up having to use some of the included sauces to make both carb dishes more flavorful. The veggies in the sweet and sour pork also felt undercooked. I appreciate family businesses, but the food here was a bit underwhelming plus the small "wing" order and the partially filled box of sweet and sour pork made the meal a bit to be desired.

    Modestly priced take out only Chinese spot. Got the combination dinner #4 for 2 people, which came out to under $25 after tax, which I consider very reasonable for the amount of food listed. The best thing was the pork fried rice. It has a smoky wok hei flavor which I appreciated, and there was actually a good amount of pork inside in my opinion. Everything else was relatively mediocre. Cashew chicken was mostly celery, and did not stand out in any way. It honestly tasted a little better cold out the fridge as a salad. Sweet and sour chicken was ordinary. They list menu items "barbecue spareribs" and "fresh fried shrimp" as if they would be similar portions as the other dishes, but you get 2 of each (that's 1 per person if you're splitting this with someone). Kind of a hidden underscore to the value of the combination dinners. These items were also just ok. Absolutely no changes are allowed for the items for the combination dinners, which is a little strange to me. Overall I probably won't come here again for takeout Chinese food. Or I'd stick with the fried rice.

    This food joint is incredibly chill when it comes to taking my orders. The vintage vibes of this cozy little spot make it feel like home, and the staff is just so welcoming

    This is a nice little spot for Americanized Chinese food to go. You won't be finding anywhere to sit, but if you want some US classics it's a good spot. The Singapore rice noodles are especially good. And don't miss the gigantic egg rolls. If you're looking for something more niche like Hunan/Sichuan/Dim Sum of course this isn't your spot. Or if you want table service. But for to go it's good. Prices are reasonable, I wouldn't say cheap but reasonable. And quantities are good. Parking is also easy as it is in a decent sized strip mall.

    Great Chinese takeout, their food is priced really well for the portions you get. The place is small since it's pickup only, but they work fast.

    Chicken chow mein
    Mimi P.

    This is the place for your to-go/takeout Chinese food! It's located in a small plaza but it does get busy. I suggest ordering ahead of time and by the time you get there, the food is ready! If you don't order ahead of time, I would say a 10-20 minute wait is the norm depending on the amount of food you order. My partner and I got the #3 combination plate for 2 people which includes chicken chow mein, pork fried rice, and sweet and sour pork. The chow mein was my favorite as it tasted savory and sweet with not too much saltiness! The sweet and sour pork has a nice crunch to it and if you want more sauce, there's definitely lots to dip into. For the fried rice, it was not too salty which I prefer. In the end, I didn't feel tired or heavy from the food as it was light. I recommend this place for fast Chinese food or a quick dinner.

The front desk worker is always the same woman; she gets my order and that's all I need! No need for special how are you doing, nice to see you, how's everything nonsense- she's got customers always coming in and they're always busy! Those who know- KNOW. But here's a tip: the phone is unreliable- your best bet for an order would be to come in person**** Portion servings are always way more than you need- there's a TON of value for the price point they give; one of the top reasons of why I always keep coming back. The food is delicious! Definitely recommend the bbq chicken fried rice and sweet and sour pork. Seating area is more so just for waiting for pickup. No sit down and eat since tables are stacked up. Ignore the dust and cobwebs ambiance because trust me the food is worth it. I'm going to go here forever!

The Walnut Prawns were craveable, and the prawns themselves were huge. I made my way back a couple time because it was so darn good.

I don't live in Evergreen anymore but I definitely, plan on making trips out that way for the rest of the menu offerings. Highly recommended!

There was no line for us to be seated. I was able to flag down a server to seat us since they seem to be extremely busy cleaning tables and servicing others. The hotpots are full of ingredients and the broth has always been tasty. Unfortunately, the meats seem to be overcooked. Prices have been going up over the years where only the monthly special is enticing for the value. Servers were friendly and checked in on us, but it took 25 minutes for our food to show up at our table after we ordered. The only consistent experience I've had are the oranges at the end of the meal. They are always amazingly sweet, juicy, and comes off the peel easily. I don't usually enjoy oranges, but I love the ones HomeEat offers! Will be back if in the area, but hope kitchen service will be quicker in the future.

There wasn't much interaction with the waitress besides when she brought our food. We ordered the string bean with beef, which was good, the combo chow mein and combo fried rice, pot stickers and the chicken with chili sauce. The food came out super quick besides the potstickers. Those took a while. I liked all the food besides the chicken with chili sauce. It's a cold app and I didn't really like it but my gf did so that's okay. There are about a dozen tables and the biggest table I would say fits 6 so any more than that you might be at different tables. It's a little hole in the wall place and overall decent. I took a star off since there wasn't much service. When I go to a place, even with a QR code for a menu, I still expect there to be some kind of service like for instance to check up on us and ask how is everything. Overall 4/5

This is one of the handful of American Chinese restaurants that stood the test of time. As is typical of these places, there was an old lady manning the counter and also acting as the server. And as is typical of these places, there was table at the end where they were prepping the fruits and veggies. It's truly remarkable how they are all similar in these ways! We got a couple of dishes and they came out at lightning speed. * Chowmein-3/5- delicious with lots of umami flavor but shockingly greasy. I mean I am used to oily noodles but this one exceeded some limits. *crispy salt and pepper eggplant-3/5- I had a stellar version of this dish at another restaurant in Sunnyvale and was stoked when I saw this on the menu here. Unfortunately it was a poor representation of the dish I loved there. The batter was too much and the dish felt heavy. The hot oil or sauce they had felt old and extremely vinegary as well, I would recommend avoiding it.
