However, with a little diligence and spot checking on your part, the food is well worth the logistical hassles and your impersonation of Inspector Clouseau. Their Hot and Sour soup is magical and can cure any cold or flu life can throw at you. Pair it with their Sesame Chicken, and you'll be floating on the aroma all the way home. Go Kam PO.

The quality…read moreof the food has been fair to excellent over the years, and we stopped ordering from them for awhile when quality was lacking. However, we ordered from them 3 times in the last two months and the first thing we noticed each time was how fresh everything tasted. We even ordered one cheesesteak eggroll just to try it and I immediately took note of how fresh the chopped meat was. I did not know what to expect here, and it was okay. So, the food is very fresh, no complaints about the portions of meat/protein with each order, and the taste has been excellent. Even the soup noodles and fortune cookies were fresh (this has been hit/miss over the years). Quick free delivery! Will keep using and hope the quality stays high.

It was only $12 total for the lunch special and it came with a fried egg eggroll that had pork and cabbage. I wish there were no pork in there, but it is what it is. I loved the fresh vegetables that they put in there and they made it really fast in under 10 minutes, and the only thing I wished was at the sauce was not including that gelatin and it was too strong with not a pure soy sauce taste, but kind of like a preserved taste. Otherwise, they would get five stars if the sauce was more my style, which would be pure healthy without any starches added and more just soy sauce and garlic and onion. Either way it's a great service for the community. It's right next to the Doubletree hotel, which is about 1 mile away and four minute drive. I can't complain otherwise.

In Howell Plaza, you will find this Chinese restaurant waiting for customers. Upon realizing that…read morethey did not open on Tuesdays, I decided to return at another time. Brand: 5/5 Howell Kitchen is a Chinese restaurant located in Howell Plaza in Howell Township, and specifically serves Szechuan and Cantonese cuisines, which I appreciate. I really like the logo of Howell Kitchen with the leaping fish. The outdoor sign itself gets to the point with its name and Chinese characters. Inside, the grand wall art invites you with its realistic detail, and the wooden tiles give the establishment an authentic feel. Website: 5/5 It has a pretty good design, with a first impression that easily captures any curious passersby, a gallery of the menu items, and an option to scroll down smoothly. I do like the section that shows quotes from famous cooks. Most of the items on the menu have their own images. Wait Time: 5/5 I experienced no delays or issues while waiting for my order. I finished half of a page of fiction writing when my order arrived. Ambiance: 5/5 The establishment had no music, and it really did not need it. The machines in the kitchen gave off a strange, soothing cadence, making me think they already had music. I especially liked my booth, since it felt as though I sat within an establishment within an establishment, with the decorative wall art, the comfortable seats, and the large table. Despite the small space, the interior uses as much space as it allows with that booth being an example. As for the menu selection, you have a large array of options of Chinese cuisine. Food: 5/5 I ordered the Shrimp Egg Foo Young with sides of white rice and sauce. Every part of the meal had a well-prepared steam. The Shrimp Egg Foo Young had good texture along with the vegetables, even if it became difficult to cut with a plastic fork. While I could barely taste the shrimp, I could definitely taste the eggs and the vegetables. On their own they have an overall, unassuming taste, but dipped in the sauce and it has a pizza-like taste. I tried to use the sauce on the white rice as well, along with the complementary soy sauce, which definitely made the rice more savory and softer. Service: 5/5 I had no issues with the staff, whether it came to my order or the overall service. Cost: 5/5 Howell Kitchen manages to maintain a steady brand when it pertains to their food. Americans typically don't know about the distinct cultural identities throughout China, so I appreciate Howell Kitchen for specifying that they serve Szechuan and Cantonese cuisines. They look especially exquisite on their website menu, almost enticing anyone to place an order immediately. The wait time it took to prepare the Shrimp Egg Foo Young definitely matched the quality of the dish, since clearly the staff care deeply about the food they make and the establishment. The ambiance immersed me into the dining experience, and it did not try my patience while waiting for the order. Based on my first experience, I will say that it matched the standard appearance of a Chinese restaurant, with a tiny space and a view of the cooking process. However, what stood out was getting to sit nearby the painting, as though I became immersed into the landscape. The ambiance finds its way into the website as well. In order to enhance the Chinese cuisine within the website, my personal suggestion is to add quotes about Szechuan and Cantonese cuisine from throughout Chinese history. When I take into account the Shrimp Egg Foo Young, the rice, the sauce, the experience, and the effort to travel to Howell Plaza, I will definitely say that the price was worth it, and I got to introduce myself to a new dish. Rating: 5/5 Stars I enjoyed my experience in Howell Kitchen and I have hope that it will continue to represent Howell Plaza. I would consider it my first choice the next time I arrive at the plaza. Recommend To... Anyone nearby the plaza looking for Chinese food.

In fact some of the fried food gives you heartburn probably because they don't replace the frying oils until it's totally burned. Their soup taste more like water than a soup. Even a Pork Fried Rice which was always very good, lost it taste. It is more like a white rice. It seems this place keep changing owners or cooks. Their prices are going up but it does not justify the bad quality. Time to find another place because I'm running out of heartburn medications!
