We have been going to Kowloon's for years, ever since our most favorite place, Chin's, (where the senior center is now), closed. Haven't tried any other Chinese place. I guess we should try some others, but we're happy with Kowloons and it is convenient for us. My only complaint about Kowloons is that the food isn't always consistent, must have different chefs working that prepare the food differently. Wish we could find a place that serves Mandarin Duck. Chin's always had it, but I haven't heard of any one else who makes it. Yes, the restroom leaves a lot to be desired. Needs a remodel, but we normally get the food to go, so we avoid using the restroom. read more

Haven't been here in years because of my low carb diet. It's not what I remember for sure. The fried shrimp is a bit undercooked gooey inside with an old oil flavor. The mar fat chicken was pretty good. The rice was okay but could be better. The Bbq pork is the best and will be hard to beat. Service was good. Disappointed. Edit. I went to restroom after I paid. This place is a S hole. Needs cleaned read more

Good 20-30 years ago. No.....great. Moved to Salem but still ordered to-go several times a year when passing through. Ordered meals to go for 4 families who also moved out of Rsbg. Will someone buy this place and restore the food and building to its former glory!! The poor reviews of the past 5+ years are absolutely true. read more

If I could have I would've given 0 stars. $105 and the food was garbage. Everything was dry, tough and flavorless. I remember at one point that the food was pretty good, not so much anymore. read more

I grew up with this place, and it was always consistently good. I keep trying to relive that, but it's hit or miss at best. Very sad we lost Asia Garden & Chin's (not Chen's) already. Sorry to say Kowloon's is also lost to me now. read more

We used to make Kowloon's our go to Chinese restaurant but after moving three years ago and coming back for a visit we took 11 people for dinner there and was very disappointed. Over fried and sautéed food. Some dishes tasted like they had been reheated and not fresh. So sorry to report this because we always loved the food before. No cars in the parking lot that early evening either and that is not a good sign. Hope things get better and a sub cook was on duty. Server was very nice. read more

I am so disappointed with Kowloon Chinese food restaurant. I ordered Marfar chicken and general chicken both were so disappointing the general chicken was hard and stringy. I could not even cut the chicken with my fork. The Marfar chicKen was breaded and doughy. This is so sad it used to be my favorite. What happened? read more

I ordered beef chop suey: the meat was gray, gelatinous lumps and the veggies even less fresh. The ice tea was basically tap water. The service was OK. The ambiance was noises from the kitchen and a table of geriatrics loudly railing about politics. The menu was pretty limited. They had like three drink options. All and all, meh. Won't ever go back. P.S. Less than five minutes drive away is Chen's Family Dish which is significantly better. read more

We went on Christmas Eve, had a big party of people. We had made reservations and they took us into the back room where there was plenty of room for all of us. They had the absolute best fried shrimp I've ever had in a Chinese restaurant. I don't know how they make the batter but it was not greasy at all, and very crisp. The shrimp were really big and flavorful. I never have fried shrimp at Chinese places because the tempura is always so greasy but I had a few someone else ordered and it was awesome. I also tried their BBQ Pork and Chicken Almond chow mien. The veggies were cooked perfectly, still a little crispy and not cooked to mush. Everyone in our party ordered something different and it all looked delicious. I'd definitely recommend this place! It is an older restaurant so it is a little drab inside but I didn't think it was dirty. read more

The taste is ok. I don't think it's very authentic and the location is kind of isolated. The price is pretty reasonable but I wish they could offer more authentic Chinese foods read more

Kowloon Restaurant - Sichuan beef - Chinese Near Me - Roseburg, Oregon

This place was always my favorite growing up. Maybe hasn't held up as well with time as I would like, and may be causing me to throw in an extra star. This is what my experience with Chinese food stems from .... BBQ Pork done the right way. Not dipped in a gravy sauce, just wonderful bold flavors that stand on their own. If you're going to dip it in anything it's got to be the hot mustard and sesame seeds ... if you aren't familiar with hot mustard, a little goes a long way...always start light and increase the amount, if you go strong it will clear nasal cavities quickly! Next up, mar far chicken. So yes, it's fried chicken, but the golden crispy secret recipe they have for the golden batter goodness is as good as it gets anywhere. Insider tip - add some $$ and get the all white meat ... only way to go! Next up BBQ Pork and Bean sprouts with Pan Fried Noodles ... not sure what the sauce for the noodles are, but this is probably one of my favorite noodle dishes, regardless of origin (Italian, Thai, etc). If you have a large group they have family style so you can try several things and get a feel for lots of menu items. Prices are fair and on par with other Chinese places. To be totally fair they probably deserve 3 stars ... the place does need to be updated. The food is greasier then I ever remember ... but I just can't go there, it's still really good and hard to beat what they offer on the menu. read more

This is our go to for Chinese Food. The service and atmosphere are great. I have one recommendation, please put more pork, onions and bean sprouts, and sauce in the BBQ Pork with pan fried noodles. This is our whole family's favorite dish and it has seemed different lately and different skinny noodles but everything is great . read more

Dirty place,bad food and bad management! Will never go there again! I definitely can not recommend this place. read more

We had a family dinner. We ordered family style for 8. Family style for 8 USED to be two platters of each dish. This time, it was 1 plate of each dish. The price was the same as it has always been but the amount we were served was 1/2 of what it used to be. I understand inflation, but this was ridiculous. We had to pay to order extra portions just to feed our group. We paid over $220 for 5 plates of food. We won't be going back for future gatherings. It was very disappointing. read more

Vary good the food the service all a-1. The atmosphere is okay with Cher playing as I type this. Yes so good I stopped to yelp lol read more

Will NEVER go back to Kowloons again. Had to send the BBQ Prk back due to being grey in color and dry as the Sahara. Then....I found a BUG in my food. THEY asked if we wanted to take the food home. HELL NO! She then asks if the bug was off the table, and proceeded to say that they just sprayed for them last week. OMG!@!@ Why would it matter if it was off the table or food. And to top it all off...WE HAD TO PAY FOR IT. DO NOT EVER GO THERE. read more

Worst Chinese food ever. We had war wonton soup which was okay, it had big slices of pork on top??

Is this place closed?I used to lo live in Junction city a few years back. Loved the pan fried garlic chicken with garlic sauce. Are they closed now? I heard they are no closed up permanently. Is this true? read more

I remember back when Kowloon was the place to go for great Chinese food. That is no longer the case! My husband and I ordered two dishes. Mine was my absolute favorite Marr for chicken and chow mein with pink sauce. Of the five pieces of chicken I got two were burned. Practically beyond recognition and the remaining were cooked fine, but they had absolutely no flavor at all. the pink sauce is so dilute that it is unrecognizable. My husband, Kung Pao chicken was watery, not very hot, and just sad! The pork fried rice had one or two pieces of actual pork in it, one little piece of scrambled egg and cabbage was basically the only other thing that was included in either of our dishes. The lo mein noodles were over done with too much soy and fish sauce. We were very disappointed and absolutely will not even consider going again. Very sad state of a meal that we had really looked forward to enjoying. read more

Food was average we didn't get everything we ordered and after the third time asking about it she said oh I forgot by then I was so angry I told her to forget it and when I was paying she offered to take 2 dollars off the bill, the service was the worst I've ever experienced gas station sushi would have been a better choice read more

The food was horrible. The almond chicken was bland dry hard pieces of chicken with brown gravy, no almond flavor. Completely inedible 0/5. The Mongolian beef did not taste anything like Mongolian beef. No peppers not even green onion. read more

Been going here since I was a kid and my dads club would meet in the back room for meetings. Not the classiest joint, but you get a ton of food for a fair price and the people are great. Visit every time I'm in town and get me some marfar chicken. Love it. read more

Greasy food. My last choice of Chinese in town. Fried Shrimp was overcooked and greasy. read more

This place is filthy, filthy, disgusting. Your shoes stick to the floor, even on carpeted areas and restroom was worse yet. Can't imagine the kitchen. In my 72 years, it's the nastiest restaurant I've ever visited. Years ago this was a good eats place, but things have changed. It's all bad. We were there to attend a meeting. I will never go back. One star rating is too good. read more

Kowloons has always been our go to place for good food and friendly service since the 80's. The last few years it's been going downhill. It started with 'off' tastes that didn't seem fresh - like they were using old oil but it was OK. Not great like before but OK and still somewhat familiar. Then began the downward slide. Each time we got food it was a little worse. Less fresh, more overcooked and more old tasting oil. A couple days ago our friends invited us over for Kowloons take out. We ordered, picked it up, came straight home and it was still hot when we tried to eat it. Where to start? The Mar Far chicken was rock hard and the pieces we could even bite into tasted just like fish. We literally had to get a sharp knife to cut into one to see if we'd gotten shrimp by accident. The egg rolls were too hard to eat too. The fried rice was hard and dry and when we went to put it on our plate it sounded like we were dropping a handful pebbles onto a hard surface. That was bad enough but our next scoop uncovered a slimy mass of something we couldn't even identify. We decided we weren't eating that either. Next up was the BBQ pork pan friend noodles. It's always been a favorite. The most rancid dark oil you ever imagine was running out the bottom of the container and when we opened the top the smell was horrendous. We put everything back into the containers and our host called Kowloons. The woman she spoke was incredibly rude. They refused to replace or refund the dinner and when pressed said, "We're not a clothing store!" Kowloons may not be a clothing store but they're also not a restaurant anymore either. Over $70 worth of inedible food hit the trash and Kowloons didn't care one iota. In the end we paid $70 for a small handful of fortune cookies. Thankfully our host had picked up some beautiful cupcakes earlier from Kim's so we each had a fortune cookie and a cupcake for dinner and nothing else. We kept trying to patronize Kowloons for 'old times sake' and kept hoping they'd get their act together and return to the quality they used to be known for. This was our last try. There are other Chinese restaurants in the area that serve better food that you can actually eat. If there's a problem they will also make it right unlike Kowloons. Many others who loved the old Kowloons we've talked to are saying the same thing. Unless Kowloons turns things around they will be part of Roseburgs past because I don't know that many people willing to or who can afford to throw entire meals away more than once. It took several tries but Kowloons can now add two more households who used to be loyal customers to their list of ex customers. read more

We have been eating here since the 80's and it was always so good. Last few years is on a consistent downgrade. But tonight was so gross I don't think we will be back. Very sad to watch this business go down hill. read more

Everything was double fried and burt. Chicken and pork were so dry I couldn't even bite through them. Absolutely gross for almost 100 dollars. read more

We enjoyed the food here and the prices are reasonable. Our dinner party ordered mostly family style dishes that were well prepared and the service was very good. The general condition of the restaurant was somewhat run-down but, given how long this place has been around, I chalked it up to a lack of investment into the space. Once we completed our meal I took a visit to the bathroom and the regret immediately set in. The condition of the bathroom often reflects the conditions in the kitchen, so it was pretty concerning to see that the bathroom appeared to have not been cleaned in a very, very long time. The toilets in the stalls appeared to have not been touched by human hands for at least several weeks, if not months. The film that had grown inside the toilets was thick and black. The floors were sticky. The only thing the restroom had going for it was that there was soap in the dispensers and toilet paper in the stalls, so points for that. I visit Roseburg a few times a year but it is very doubtful that I will return to this particular place out of concern over what the back-of-the-house areas of the business probably look like based on the condition of the restrooms. read more

Kowloon's used to be my favorite for years. They changed everything. Pink sauce, rice, chicken, shrimp and pan fried noodles are all different. The food was awful and our two orders of chicken were cold, as if they pulled it out of the fridge and straight into the togo box. We will not be going back. read more

Kowloon's has some of the best mar far chicken, house fried rice, pork chow mein, fried pork noodles, and sweet n sour pork. Especially the fried rice. Other Chinese restaurants in Roseburg just do not have the excellent fried rice that Kowloon Restaurant has. When it comes to Roseburg, you have many Asian restaurants to select from, so if you don't like Kowloon's, there are other choices. read more

We were on this end of town, so we decided to try this place for lunch. In Asian restaurants we prefer a buffet so we can see a dish before we try it, but at this place you order off of a menu. They weren't very busy so we were seated right away, and attended efficiently by a reasonably friendly staff. Rose ordered a combo plate of fried shrimp and fried rice. The fried rice was good; nothing special. But good. The shrimp, on the other hand, was excellent. The batter coating was crispy and flakey, almost like Japanese tempura. The shrimp themselves were plump and juicy, cooked just right (not over cooked like so much seafood is around here). I would go back to this place if only to get the shrimp! I ordered a combo with egg foo young (very good), fried rice (see above) and pork chow mein. The chow mein left a lot to be desired. The vegetables consisted almost entirely of bean sprouts, with a few slices of celery. I like bean sprouts, but as a part of the total mix to add some texture, not as nearly the entire dish. The small amount of pork looked like bits of ground pork. I found the chow mein to be generally unappetizing. With lots of dishes on the menu, I'm sure some are really good, like the fried shrimp. We may go back and try something else. "Rose's Cafe" #rosescafe1 http://rosescafe1.blogspot.com read more

Best Chinese style restaurant of all time. Remember that scene from Stephen King's It? This is it. Long tables for the party, impeccable food, and carpet. Fortune cookies and almond ones. Mar Far chicken with Kim's sauce, fried shrimp and pork fried rice. Get to heaven a bit too soon I'll meet you there.... Oh yeah the bbq pork with hot mustard and toasted sesame seeds is essential. The thick soft noodles I just know are expertly crafted in their kitchen. Sweet and sour, pungent and hot, savory cravory can't go wrong order your favorites. I love you Kowloon!!! read more

This used to be a good place to eat even though it was a little spendy. It's been going downhill for a while but I will never go back after this last time. Bad greasy food! read more

Worst food ever! Couldn't eat it and still got charged full price. The food was greasy and smelled bad.

Food is excellent and very generous portions ate there 20 plus times always good

Ate lunch here on Feb 22 and was very disappointed. Food was mushy, waitresses were unfriendly and the floor and tables were dirty. We were there 45 min after opening and the place was mostly empty. No excuse. Won't eat here again. read more

came in and waited a few minutes to sit which was ok but almost 40 minutes of waiting for our waiter to come and ask us if we were ready to order. she went to the people that was sat after us which wasn't ok. and then she ignored us twice while we tried to ask for drinks honestly this was one of the worst experiences here read more

First time to Roseburg with five other parents to attend a JROTC drill comp. We reviewed our options using Yelp and Trip Advisor and narrowed our selection to include Kowloon. After taking a straw poll....Kowloon it was. Now, we were all a little tentative about trying an "unknown" Chinese food place but thru my encouragement about what was said on these two review sites, we set out to be adventurous. First good sign was that the lot was 3/4 full on a Friday night about 6pm. The wait was marginal....maybe 10 minutes for our group...so I did my "walk around" on the way to the restroom and glanced from side to side taking note of the dishes other patrons were eating and whether people seemed to be enjoying the meal. All good. The BBQ pork stood out to me as a favorite as most people had it on their tables and the portion looked huge.....tender and moist. Another favorite was what I later discovered to be Mar Far Chicken. We were given the option of two different places to be seated....we chose the banquet room. I was expecting it to be more secluded, but it appeared to be just another section of the restaurant. Had they not given it the term "banquet room" I would have never guessed it to be any different from any other portion of the facilities. Other families and large groups were already dining in the "banquet room" and we were given a booth. Which worked out great. Husbands on one side, wives on the other. Service was prompt with water and tea. I agree with another reviewer about the decor....nothing noteworthy. In fact, if the place weren't so busy and the food so good....you might even call it "dingy". But combined with the company I was with and the good time we were having, we just really didn't notice. But in hindsight...I would have to say it was definitely worn and comfortable. With the emphasis placed on food and portion size as opposed to atmosphere. Again, as we were looking at the menu, we noticed the party across from us getting their food delivered and not only were the portions huge but it looked delicious. That prompted us to ask the waitress what "they were having" and she said, "Family dinner for four". We all agreed that sounded good but since there were more than four of us, we added a dish of Kung Pao Chicken and the BBQ pork appetizer. One of the other husbands inquired about a beer on tap and the waitress had no problem bringing him a decent sized sample before he ordered a full glass. As it turns out, he really liked it and went for a full order. Sorry.....can't remember the name. Maybe "Dead Guy Ale"? It was a local brew though. The point is that I was impressed with the willingness to offer the sample. The BBQ pork appetizer was served in no time and we all thought it was rather tasty. Again, we were not disappointed on the portion size. It really is "mounding"....just like I observed on my "walk around" before being seated. Our main course arrived in what seemed to be about 10 minutes after the BBQ pork which was right on timing to continue with our meal. The waitress brought it all out on a huge serving tray and we all appreciated that she left it set up at the end of the booth so as not to cram too many dishes onto our table. There were lots of "Oooohs and Aaaaahs" over the dishes as we passed them around. Everything was very good. I noted that the fried rice was not "tan" or "brown" in color but appeared to be steamed rice with some green onion, egg and meat in it. I would wager it was due to a lack of cooking it with soy sauce and it made for a very delicious twist on your typical fried rice. We all like it. The one thing we lacked was diligent service on keeping our water glasses filled. Whenever we asked, our waitress was prompt in coming right back to fill them....but.....it would have been nice to not have to ask a couple of times. A better option would have been to leave a pitcher at our table. Being that this was not a five star establishment, I cannot see why this would have been a problem. Total bill for the five of us was $68 not including the tip. We had PLENTY of left-overs and all agreed it was a good dinner and a great value. read more
