We were looking for a new Chinese restaurant and found Kuang's Chicken off of Capitol HWY down the road from PCC Sylvania, its located right next to the 7-11 in a small shopping center. As you walk in your are greeting by a friendly staff member, they will sit you down at your choice of table. Its a small by cozy dining room. Their menu has all of your favorites , from appetizers, soups, noodles to Mu Shu Dishes. We came in during lunch, on the back of their menu you will find the the lunch specials within various proteins, veggie, noodle of fried rice options. Be warned, you get your choice of Spring roll or BBQ Pork with Fried rice "or" just Hot and Sour soup. The important distinction that is missing in their menu is the word "or". I wanted hot and sour soup, as my order was taken, I asked for clarity , I ordered Hot and sour Soup, and ask not to have rice, she then asked if I wanted an egg roll so I assumed it was one of the other options as a side that came with the food, it did not but I did not understand this until later on. So be ware. The food portions are large, my son ordered the General Tso's Chicken, its marked as spicy but it was not spicy, the taste of this dish was very good, the sauce had great flavor. I ordered the Kung Pao Chicken also marked as spicy, it had a slight kick but nothing major, it had good flavor but not a lot of veggies, it did have a good portion of chicken. So then we both get a cup of fried rice to the table, and sweet and sour sauce and an egg roll. I did not think anything of it based on the way the menu was laid out within the lunch special. The only thing that I found odd is that I ask not to have rice but still got rice, I figured it was an oversight. A few min went by and I never got the hot and sour soup so I moved on and finished my meal. They also serve hot tea which was very good. When we asked for to go containers they were brought to us quickly. After your meal, you will need to go to the counter to pay, she handed me our check and I asked her for clarification around the lunch special, so you can choose either BBQ Pork or a Spring roll, which either choice comes with Fried Rice but if you want Hot and Sour Soup, you would not get a spring roll or fried rice. We pay our bill which seemed a bit high since each dish is 9.95 but we did not stop to question it more. We get to our car and the employee comes running out the door asking me to come back in, she had given us another persons bill so we were overcharged, I am very thankful that she come out to correct the issue. I would share that its a two person operation, the waitress is very direct and short but she is running around doing multiple things at a time. Given our overall experience I gave them a 4 star rating, the food quality and taste is overall good, the service is what it is, the pricing is very affordable, I would also check their food safety scores, they are slightly concerning. read more

We usually get take out so can't comment on service or ambience. The food is good and the portions are large. Great prices round out the appeal. The hot sour soup is full of flavor and has the right sour to spice. Bbq pork was moist and tender. We had the pea pod chicken and Mongolian beef. The chicken was tender and plentiful. The beef could have been crispier for me put that's my preference. Good basic , fast, affordable Chinese in the neighborhood. read more

Moo shu chicken was great, nicely seasoned with a good helping of plum sauce to go and lots of pancakes. Glad I got it to go though; the place is no great shakes in ambiance department, and the lady ringing me up at the counter seemed like she couldn't be rid of me fast enough. Brusque service, to say the very least. read more

Consistently good food. Always a fave when I'm in the Capitol Hill area. Highly recommend this spot, great portions and awesome value.

Quality of the food was delicious and you cant beat their prices! Loved this place and will for sure be back!!!

I like to order lots of veggies and chicken for lunch. Chicken is very tender and flavorful. Menu states 2 lbs of food and I believe it. Always enough for take home for another meal. Comes with rice and tea for $12.50. read more

We did takeout this evening and were highly impressed. Only 15 minutes for pickup. The combo dinners are massive and delicious. The serving sizes will easily result in leftovers! The crab rangoons are phenomenal. The pork fried rice was a tad on the dry side, but the only thing that was a little off. read more

Worst sesame beef ever like eating rocks. Tea was okay. Not good. Should have taken the meal off my bill.

Great easy local Chinese. Place is clean, very friendly, consistent and fair price. Never seen anyone eat inside, it's typically to go.

We just recently moved into the neighborhood and were looking for take-out nearby so we tried Kuangs. We were very impressed! The portion sizes are massive! My fiancé and I share 1 combo dinner and we still have a ton of leftovers!! Great prices, great portions and nice staff. The perfect meal for a cozy Sunday evening in. read more

If you want some low cost Chinese food and a lot of it, this is your place. Is it the best I've ever had? Not even close, is it good for the price? Yes. I find myself coming back here often and I love getting the chicken lo mein as it will last me several meals. read more

Such wonderful people running this place, always consistent and friendly. Love supporting good people and good food.

Been coming here r for years for their king oak chicken. Hot and sour soup is also great. Great bang for buck.

The general Tso's chicken seemed like it was deep fried three times and three days old. The fried rice was a mixture of fatty pork, deveined shrimp with the veins fried on the outside and chunks of un mixed rice. And the chicken stirfry was slimy. Please don't subject yourself to this kind of torture. read more

The service here is very friendly, the portion sizes are large, but the food is very mediocre. One of the interesting things to me was the breading on their orange chicken. It's fried in a thick dough, kind of like food at the fair.... The Kung Pao beef had very fresh vegetables, but they didn't appear to be cooked in the sauce so it didn't blend well with the flavors. It kind of over powered the plate. Not a terrible spot, but you can probably find better. read more

If the intention is for you not to come back, they succeed. The woman who served me must own the place, otherwise I don't see how she could possibly keep her job. Unwelcoming, abrupt, and rude. Food quality mediocre but generous proportions. The restaurant was clean. read more

Take-out food was delicious. Big portions. Reasonable prices. Ready on time. Friendly service. Will definitely return.

Sesame beef was super delicious, bbq pork was juicy sand tender, egg flower soup was good too... And you can't beat the lunch special price...$7.95! read more

Love there Kung pao Chicken. Their customer service is not very good but their food is great! read more

We do take out. The place is small and always clean and smalls great! Huge portions "HUGE" it's two meals in one container. And the prices cannot be beat! There are closer Chinese restaurants near me but this place is worth the 4 mile drive. Don't worry the food is so hot it can melt the bottom of the container. No complaints here. I have a 20 minute drive home. Never a problem with the order and the order and always fresh. And the woman is always nice. Highly recommend read more

I am blown away by any positive reviews coming from this place. I was looking for good Chinese food and, by the reviews, this was the place to go. We ordered a few dishes and hot and sour soup to go. The lady working there saw that my wife was very pregnant and decided to replace the hot and sour with egg drop soup because "it was good for the baby" (a very nice and friendly gesture that we genuinely appreciated but absolutely not what we ordered). I clarified that we still wanted hot and sour but we were instead ushered along with her "good gesture". In any case, when we got home we tried all of the different foods that we ordered and they all either lacked flavor, tasted off from what you would expect, and/or seemed like week old, microwaved leftovers; nothing crispy or freshly cooked. Somehow I'm in the minority here but I would absolutely not recommend this place for food (sorry nice lady!). read more

We looked for a place for Chinese food that was close and the food here looked good for what we normally eat. The sweet and sour chicken was cooked well with crispy fried batter on the outside, but the chicken tasted bland. The Mongolian beef was full of onions and pepper and the flavor was good but the meat was all gummy. The same with the sesame beef, chewy meat encased in thick batter that in some places were undercooked. They up charged for tofu chowmein and it was tasty, so best dish out of all we ordered. The place was kinda big but there were no other customers, just a handful of takeout orders. They had hot tea, but only water, Coca Cola and Pepsi.l to drink. read more

Now open with full service sit-down dining! As with other posters, I've been coming to Kuang's Kitchen for many years - almost 8 years! They have always served up a great variety of delicious food, generous portions, and at an extremely reasonable price not found elsewhere. The owners are a hardworking couple who strives to provide quality food with friendly and exemplary service. After struggling during the pandemic and being temporarily closed for a year, then limited to take out only, they are now open full service with sit-down dining. Please support this couple! They are eager to serve their customers, so enjoy a relaxing and delicious filling meal inside their renovated dining room! read more

Before Covid I've eaten before and the food was amazing and truly authentic Asian cuisine. Now after covid the place is cold enough that you can see your breath, also the tea is so water down that it looks like very light brown water I couldn't tell if it was tea or old pipe tap water that was heated. I ordered the combination meal that came with egg flower soup, it was barely warm and it was like eating loose gelatin, after three sips I spit out the third and told them to stop making my food. Employees asked if I wanted my soup microwaved but I told them "I want hot soup not reheated in a microwave soup." Definitely will never go back and will tell people take it off your list of good restaurant. Wish I would have took a picture of the extremely light brown hot water that they call tea! read more

Flavor - there wasn't much flavor in several dishes we tried. I would have liked more veggies in the chow mien and the meat was also tough in the sesame beef, chow mien, and fried rice read more

Had the chicken with snow peas and it was yummy! Great portion size and a nice mild flavor. Hot & Sour soup was good too. I always enjoy the pot stickers, too! Bring some hungry teenagers. read more

We ordered take out in hopes of finding a good local Chinese take out. We ordered the #5 dinner combination and the eggplant in tangy sauce with chicken added for an extra charge. When we picked up, the lady was very nice and said she gave us the family size rice and soup to be nice. We were so grateful for the extra food until we ate it. The chicken added to the eggplant was literally general TSOs chicken from my wife's order, mixed with the eggplant that was basically battered mush. The flavor was pure sugar and zero Salt, garlic or anything that resembled a spice. The dinner also had no flavor to the chow menu; there was no sauce or flavor anywhere. You know it's bad when you bust out the Ponzu and Hoisin to doctor your own food, and it doesn't work. This food was DOA. Not going back for the soup, chicken, or the upset stomach. read more

Kuang's Kitchen - The darker pieces are the General Tso's Chicken pieces and the lighter ones are eggplant. Hard to tell, I know! - Szechuan Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Basic Chinese restaurant with excellent hot sour soup, decent General XL chicken and awesome Buddhist veggie delight. I judge a Chinese restaurant by its hot sour soup. So I'm thinking everything here is good. During our dinner there were around seven takeout orders so many other people sure think this place is good. Nice and clean throughout. Excellent service. read more

Great food. Great service. Ambiance OK for a small place. Huge portions. Come hungry.

After reading pretty good reviews (average 4 stars) on Yelp, we decided to give Kuang's a try. We were the only ones in the restaurant, but it looked nice and clean. After ordering our meals, we were served lukewarm soup. The entrees followed shortly thereafter and were presented in to-go containers with no sauce. I looked down at mine and there was a hair on the noodles. I told the woman, who was standing there, and she held the box up to her face, removed the hair and then closed the container and told me she would be be back with a new order. At that point, I had lost my appetite and we told her this was not the dining experience we were looking for. We will not be returning. read more

We ordered special dinner #4 for $10.50 and ma po tofu which I requested medium spicy. I heard that their portion sizes are large and it was true. Even though the special included soup for one, he waitress split the soup into 2 bowls for us to share. That was very nice of the waitress to do. If you expect authentic Chinese, then this is not the restaurant for you. Also don't be fool by the name of the dishes. Their ma po tofu is really just cubed tofu in brown sauce. The special comes with sweet and sour chicken (deep fried and served with that bright red sauce) which was not very good. The beef and broccoli was overcooked and the beef was rather slimy. The soft noodle and chicken was probably the best dish but it really was just okayed. read more

I am still searching for a great neighborhood Chinese restaurant. This one is getting close, but still not quite there. Definitely Chinese-American style here. We've been twice now. First time we ate there and enjoyed the friendly service. They were pretty fast too. Second time I got take out. I called my order in and it was waiting for me when I got there 20 minutes later. Their food is good, imo, but not amazingly great. They certainly give large portions, so you feel like you're getting your money's worth. Over our 2 visits, we tried the dry sauteed string beans with almonds, Mongolian beef, General Tso's chicken, and Pork with tangy sauce. They seem to be pretty heavy-handed with the Five Spice powder. We really did not care for the General Tso's - it was fried, and heavy with sweet red sauce that overwhelmingly tasted of Five Spice. Which I like a lot, just not THAT much. We noticed it in the Pork with tangy sauce too, but it wasn't quite as strong. The pork had a lot of julienned veggies and a lot of sauce. Mongolian beef is pretty tasty, but it's pretty oily. And they over-tenderized the beef, more than I prefer at least. The beef had a lot of sliced onions too, but good flavor, though not hot. Green beans were again the best of the dishes we tried, but I had to add a little salt. The almonds are a different touch, and I kind of like it. On all of these, I ordered them extra spicy. Didn't happen. I guess they are just catering to the American palate. If it sounds like I didn't like Kuang's Kitchen, you're wrong. It's good, and I'd go there again because it's not too far away for me, but I'm not going to crave this stuff. read more
