We've been to dinner here twice now and it was excellent both times. I got the chicken teriyaki hibachi,it came with salad with ginger dressing and the chicken came with rice(I did the upcharge for fried rice), and sautéed veggies. I forgot to take the picture before most of it was gone,it was so good!! It's our favorite Asian restaurant!!! My daughter got the steak hibachi and she loved hers too. My husband got the chicken curry,which he wasn't crazy about,but had general Tao's chicken last time and he loved it. Crab wontons and chicken dumplings were awesome too!! We will definitely be going back!! read more

See all

Wow! We were pleasantly surprised. The food was excellent. The flavors were different than what we're used to, but in a very good way. Just the right amount of spice. And plentiful meat too. Really enjoyed the staff. We felt like we were their guests. We will definitely come here again and will recommend to others. read more

Normally always have a good experience. Love the food and order once a week. I always tip but this time I had extra cash so was going to tip in cash. Delivery lady is pounding on my door and was holding my food and said the total was $42.87 which I said I paid online already and she wouldn't give me my food till she said "I noticed you didn't tip". While holding my food , im a waitress I understand the tipping but would never hold someone's food until said tip is given. I said I have cash and she mentioned the tip again so I gave attitude and said "wait" as she looked confused. Very rude and uncalled for. I had to physically grab my food from her. read more

The food here is beyond incredible. The flavor and taste shows real quality that you cannot beat at any other Chinese restaurant in town. I love the General Tso's! The chicken is crispy and the sauce is packed with a fresh garlic flavor and the absolute perfect amount of spice. I was so excited to order it again that I forgot to take a picture of how awesome it looked before I started eating :). read more

So much food! The staff is always friendly and the food is always quick and you get so much bang for your buck here!

Don't expect much ambiance but the food quality and service commitment more than compensates!

We've made a habit of eating here once a week for a while. I've tried a variety of dishes and enjoyed them all. I do tend to order my favorite, king pao chicken most of the time and theirs is great. Good hot and sour soup too. read more

This place is great. The service alone is 5 start but the real reason I go there is for the orange chicken. Hands down the best orange chicken I have ever had!! I read some of the negative reviews and that just hasn't been my experience at all. I have been there several times and will continue. read more

We all remarked about how great the food tasted, until I complained from the bathroom about the cold sweat and nausea I experienced at 3am. I blamed the MSG, without knowing if that was true or not. Having said that, I gave it a low rating due to two very correctable items; 1) We had to send silverware back in order the receive clean utensils. (We actually used chopsticks just to be safe.) 2) The bathroom was filthy and not because the former occupant made a mess. The floor was filthy and dirt was literally lining the edges of the small carpet, as well as stuck to the floor, in the bathroom. Again, assuming it was the spices and not MSG, I would eat there again, although it would have to be carry out with chopsticks! read more

Kam Shen used to be my go-to for Chinese Takeaway, but Penguin's Kitchen offers a menu that is a little more varied, and the quality of the food is of higher quality (fresher preparation, less heavy in the use of oil). I have had no misses, and only some small niggling disappointments that may simply be personal preferences (i.e. I have observed that there's a little to heavy a hand with the sour elements in some dishes). Above all, a chance to try variations on dishes that are worth an audition for the North American palate like Singapore style Mei Fun. read more

We love Chinese food and after reading the rave reviews we tried Penguins Kitchen. it was the worst meal ever and we threw it away. the large wonton soup had 4 wontons normally there are 8. the wontons were hard and unchewable. the filling was scant. we tried the very positive reviewed King Poa Chicken which had over fried an hard pieces of chicken in sauce. the Cashew chicken had a weird smell and we could not eat it. their egg rolls were the smallest we have ever seen. the cost was much higher than it should have been. we will not stray again from our favorite Kam Shang. sorry but previous reviews were really off read more

We ordered delivery and the food arrived promptly despite it being a busy Friday night. Everything was fantastic! The portions were large and tasty! read more

Wonderful food, friendly service, & clean restaurant. Good price at lunchtime, too. There is plenty of food to take with you. I plan to go back! read more

Kung Pao Chicken is the best in Liberty. They keeps it real consistently. Will always order this and continue coming back if they are consistent. read more

Best kept secret in Liberty. The food is amazing. Their take out business is far greater than their eat in. We have never had to wait to be seated but don't let the inside fool you..the food is so fresh and delicious!!! Service is always fantastic. read more

We've come back numerous times now and it continues to be delicious! The service is excellent! This has become our go-to Chinese restaurant. Can't recommend enough! read more

I haves dined there twice now. Everything is new and clean. Our service was friendly and prompt. I had the butter shrimp lunch and the Szechuan shrimp lunch. Both were very good and the right portion for lunch. I found the prices affordable and pretty much standard for our area. I look forward to my next visit. read more

Great food, we got the teriyaki chicken, very good. Very friendly and excellent customer service.

I read some comments on the Liberty FB group that probably raised my expectations of this place. I tried it once and everything was so spicy I couldn't really eat it. So - I blamed myself and tried again. Still marginal. Good was ok - but no better than any other place in the area. The crab Rangoon were good - but everything else was meh. Probably won't go back. read more

Food and service were great!!! Did a pickup order and food was fresh and still warm. The gal I spoke to made sure I had everything I needed before I left. Crab wontons are top notch and a must get! read more

food was really good! got delivered quickly as well.highly recommend them. I love there pineapple Fried rice.

This place is amazing! I live their wonton soup, curry chicken, hibachi grilled food.

The food was tasteless as far as flavor whitest fried rice I've ever seen. It was my first and last time trying that location.

What a gem! Delicious food from a streamlined menu - including typical Chinese dishes, plus Springfield Cashew Chicken and Hibachi dinners. Dining room is tidy and ambient. Staff is friendly and service is fast with dine in or carry out orders. Please do yourself and your Liberty neighbors a favor and give this place a try! read more

Best Chinese Food in the northland. Friendly family business. Good food. I love everything I've tried but the General Tso's is my favorite.

It was a Monday, and our favorite Chinese place was closed so we decided to try Penguin's Kitchen for lunch carry out. Got the sweet and sour chicken lunch "special" and the Mei fun entree, Singapore style. No complaints about the "Mei Fun" but the sweet and sour chicken with fried rice left a lot to be desired. I ordered crab Rangoon as a side. When I got home, there was one small condiment-sized container of sweet and sour sauce. I figured since it was such a small container it must be for the crab Rangoon, but when I opened my entree, my entree had no sauce on it. So either they forgot to include it in the carry out, or they are ultra skimpy on their sauce. I tried spreading out the bit of sauce they DID include on the entree, but it didn't coat everything, so the breaded chicken tasted very bland. Fried rice was also very bland, having just cooked egg and onions, no green peas or other veggies in it. The price was a lot more compared to our favorite place catty-corner from Penguin, so this ended up being a thumbs down. read more

Penguin's Kitchen - Sweet and sour chicken with fried rice lunch special - Noodles Near Me - Liberty, Missouri

The food was decent but the service was terrible. We came here for a special occasion lunch.. I ordered a salad starter bc IOVE the ginger dressing.. we also ordered dumplings and crab puffs to start. Our waitress made several comments about the amount of food we ordered. Then onto mains, my husband ordered the general tso chicken and i the veg lomein. again comments on a lot of food. we shared and took two to-go boxes. She lifted mine again commenting on the size of our order. telling us in her home land dumplings are a whole meal. offered plastic silverware in case we wanted to finish eating in the parking lot. honestly tossed it in the first trash can we found... i don't need to be guilt tripped on my dinner read more

First time trying this restaurant and have finally found my go to for Chinese and Hibachi!! Service was quick, dined in and the place was clean and fresh, and the food was exceptional. Crab rangoon was the best I've had, Chicken Teriyaki was grilled to perfection, and veggies cooked just the right amount with a nice grill flavor. Big portions too. Looking forward to eating at Penguin Restaurant again in the very NEAR future! Yummy!! read more

I love the food here and it's quickly become a local favorite. The food is flavorful and the portion sizes are generous. I love that I feel like I'm getting real Asian cuisine and not a watered down version. Food is always fresh and hot as well. They have yet to disappoint me. I have to recommend this place! read more

Great food. The chicken bangcock fried rice was amazing. Portions were generous. Worth going to.

Good flavor has gone down since opening. Egg drop soup broth not good at all, smokey taste. Fried rice bland. Sad to see this, we need a good Chinese restaurant in Liberty. read more

Came here for the first time, absolutely delicious completely replaced our regular Chinese place we go to in this area. The staff were super friendly and nice! Had a great time! Will be back! The Crab wontons were the best ever will want these served at my funeral. read more

Good food and many to choose from! Convenient location! If their staff had a better attitude, we'd give it 5 stars!

Just wanted to throw my support behind this restaurant. This primarily for selfish reasons; I love their food and I want them to stay in business. There are never many customers when I've been there, possibly because the last Chinese restaurant at that location was terrible. Penguins is completely different though. They are an Asian restaurant, so there's Japanese options available and every option I've tried is delicious. I've even tried my daughters orange chicken, which I normally hate, because of the thick orange syrup that covers the chicken. It was really good! No heavy syrup. Try Penguin's kitchen, if you like Asian food. You won't go back to the others. read more

Food was mediocre at best! We did carry out. My daughters shrimp kids meal was the best food out of all the Hibachi steak and chicken. Chicken and steak were terrible! We threw so much food away it was such a waste. read more

​Outstanding Asian cuisine at another level. Family-printed environment. Provide Military discount. Highly recommend. God Bless!!!

I work across the street at firestone and we noticed the new place. We decided to order it and it was AMAZING. Chris over there was extremely helpful. The crab wontons were incredible. The fried rice looked boring but it tasted awesome. Quality ingredients were used for sure. You can definitely tell. Will definitely come back and recommend to all others. read more

We have been looking for a good Chinese restaurant in the Kearney/Liberty area. I believe we have found our place! First, the restaurant is clean! Floors, tables..all clean and no stickiness. The food was very good without being over breaded or swimming in a sauce. The vegetables in my cashew chicken were large and not over cooked. Every thing seemed to be freshly made to order. I would recommend the Penguin's Kitchen. read more

Fresh food, decent portions and pricing. The greeter was kind and attentive. Hibachi was wonderful! Soup portion is enormous, rich and tasty. We have returned each week since our first visit! read more

We did carry out for dinner a week ago and it was delicious. My husband had the Kung Pao beef very tasty. I had the orange chicken-just the right amount of sweet and heat. The establishment is very clean. The staff is accommodating and friendly. read more
