The buffet, complete with raw food for made-to-order dishes and cooked food to taste, as well as sushi, was the most extensive buffet I've ever seen, and tasty at that. Furthermore, the raw food was relatively fresh- no small feat!

Kiang is a restaurant I have passed by several times and it's never crowded. It's also in that…read moregroup of Asian restaurants that tries to be all things to all people....in other words it specializes in three different cuisines - Japanese, Chinese, and Thai. Actually more than that because it has Szechuan, Shanghai, and Cantonese dishes on the menu in the Chinese section. (I sure hope that as people in Vienna get more sophisticated in their Asian tastes, restaurants can specialize in one cuisine instead of trying to cook several.) Now saying all this, the Szechuan dish that I ate here was very good. It was the famous Gan Bien and the strips of dried beef were cooked and flavored nicely. The menu indicated that the Gan Bien would be spicy (scharf) but I learned long ago that scharf in Vienna is not really scharf for a Philadelphia guy. So I ordered it Super Scharf with a side order of hot chili sauce. The waitress was great. She did exactly as I asked and the homemade chili sauce was totally excellent .... and hot. I added it liberally and enjoyed a really nice, spicy, and tasty Gan Bien. Next time I will go to Kiang with friends so we can share and try multiple dishes including the classic Dan Dan noodles. I did like the service here very much .... and even if the dining room is rather plainly decorated, the serving staff added a nice warmth.

While this isn't a huge restaurant, by any means, it was still really busy, which means this lady was always hopping. *I'd also like to add the following* --all of the meals are made to order. Like, seriously. Made. To. Order. You can request anything, but I suggest checking out their specials or asking for a recommendation. (OR just getting the dumplings. You can never go wrong with dumplings/their dumplings!) Continuing. There is like one chef, an older Chinese dude, probably the waitress's husband, and he did literally all of the cooking the night we were there. That man was a cooking machine, and every single thing he produced was amazing. Seriously, y'all. The problem with a one-man-chef restaurant? Everyone gets their entrees separately, since they're cooked and ready pretty much separately (made to order, do recall), so to be served hot, we all got our entrees a few minutes apart. Compound the one-man-chef + one-woman-waitress thing (which while the latter isn't so uncommon in Vienna/Europe, here it was an issue), and the whole dining experience took a very, very long time - don't come too famished! This place gets 5 stars from me, instead of 4, because of the quality of the food and, even more than that, because at the end of the night, my party was the last in the restaurant, and we got to see the one-man-cooking machine literally passed out asleep at one of the tables in the middle of the restaurant. It was just so cute and, well, hilarious - he worked his ass off and cooked amazing food all night, then just passed out in what I presume to be his own restaurant. That's the awesomesauce right there. *Because it's a smaller restaurant, I suggest making a reservation, especially especially for a peak time, and on peak days!

So many yelpers seem to love this place and unfortunately I cannot agree with them. I came here…read moretwice and I was so disappointed. The restaurant itself is quite nice and waiters are friendly, however they need ages to come to you. Once I ordered something like sweet-sour chicken and it was sooooo sweet that I could swear that they must have poured half a package of sugar in it. Last time I decided to give their luxus buffet a try and it was one of the worst Chinese buffets I have ever had. I cannot even explain what was so bad, it was just not tasty, not fresh and... boring! The prices are OK though. Which is pretty much the only good thing here. OK and the atmosphere ir decent enough. But unfortunately I cannot give this place more than 2 stars!
