We used to live in HK before we moved to the USA to reunited with my whole families for good. To be very honest...their foods are AWESOME!!! Exactly almost 99% taste like the foods in HK local places. I have been missing those foods for years!! Besides...my only sister (older sister) used to eat Chinese food with me in some Asian places/restaurant and she loved HK style foods! My only sister passed away 2 years ago from Leukemia (blood Cancer)...my whole world cut into pieces.... I wished my sister still alive so I could have took her to this place, and I'm definitely a 100% sure she would love this place! Every time I come to this place...it reminds me of her ...I wished I'd found this place much earlier. I definitely recommend this restaurant to everyone who is looking for some HK style food or even Seafood Chinese style. The foods there are marvelous!!

Average but good deal for the price. Cheaper than a big fast food chain cost nowadays. A good option for quick cheap chinese meal.

This place also has party options and dinner style for dinner, and the fish and crab dishes are sooo good. The sweet and sour soup and egg drop soup are my all time favorites for soup but nothing beats the oyster sauce clam dish!! The workers don't speak much english so give them slack if they seem rude, thats just their culture, I never really had any bad experiences really. They were all nice and friendly.

Sometimes my nephew will drive to pick up and bring home for us some weekends, which is always a treat for the 18mos old that doesn't like longer than 30min car rides. They've renovated some and did away with the lazy-susan in the middle of the table, which I think was unfortunate especially for short arms people. Service is always great - the ladies there know my grandkids on sight. The owners even passed out red envelopes for year of the Horse.

I would rather choose ABC Seafood or The Pearl over Kowloon if you're in the Arlington area. The restaurant has plenty of tables. Service is quick, almost too quick. I went on a Sunday around 1pm. But the day I went, there was less than 10 tables and the ladies with the carts were eyeing our table every few seconds. This might sound nice but then I got too nervous to look around anymore. I just like to take in my environment while I'm eating. The food quality was sub par. Everything was dry, tough, almost stale. The dim sum was left in the carts longer than most people would like. The taste of each dish was decent though. The texture of each dim sum dish really turned me off so that alone would not have me returning back.

I ordered the St. Louis rice combo with an egg roll, Kung Pao chicken, and chicken wings. Appetizers: The egg roll was okay -- I'd give it a 3/5. The chicken wings were also just okay and a little greasy -- 3/5. Kung Pao Chicken: It was spicy, but very bland overall. I'm used to a darker, richer sauce, but this one was very light and didn't have much flavor -- 1/5. They do give you a generous portion, though. St. Louis-Style Rice: It came out hot and included bean sprouts, which a lot of places don't do anymore, so I appreciated that. The rice was dark, but even with steak, chicken, and shrimp, it still lacked flavor -- 2/5. The prices are good, service is fast, and there's plenty of space if you want to dine in. That said, it's not worth going back for me, but I'm glad I tried it.

I am guilty of being a Lo Mein addict! I stumbled upon Splendid China a couple of years ago trying to find a place that made good quality lo mein (which wasn't easy). This place is consistent every time with their food and our family orders take out here often. Oh, their chili oil is perfectly HOT!!! I like supporting local small businesses and this place knows how to serve some great food. Keep it up Splendid China! read more

When I get bored and lazy to cook food after a hectic day at work, this is the place where I order my to-go at! They always deliver satisfaction! I love their Orange Chicken and Egg Rolls! The price is very affordable and with in reason. I thought the food they deliver is perfect, great food, warm blanket under your own roof! That is "comfort" at its finest. read more

It was 35 min delivery, and no delivery fee. First thing I noticed - they had Sesame Shrimp. This is a true staple that is often left off of the takeout menu. I knew it was where I was headed. I looked for the Veggie Spring Roll. They had a Veggie Eggroll. I had a feeling that it was actually going to be a Spring Roll. Indeed, it was. When the Dasher (finally) arrived, I knew I was in for a treat. The main course was in plastic containers. A good sign! The entree was ample. The shrimp were crisp, the sauce was savory and sweet. A perfect mix. The rice was akin to steamed, but had the components of fried rice. I got full, but had to finish it. It was so great. After I had eaten and posted my photo of the food, I looked at the page and realized that this restaurant was a place I saw off Abram on my way to UTA and thought so many times, "Wow, it looks run down. I'd rather eat inside that psychics house down the street." That poor attitude had me missing out for years. Years, I say! I will most certainly be back, and will likely even dine in, given the opportunity.

When I got home with my order the first thing I noticed was that the pork look crispy and fresh but I had to add the sweet and sour sauce myself. It was sort of jellied so it did not pour over the meat easily. I pulled a large spoon from a drawer in my kitchen but there was no room in the container to really move the meat around so I pulled a medium sized bowl from the cabinet to stir the meat until all the pieces were coated with the sauce. I got out a plate and put the rice on the plate and topped it with the pork. Something was a little off, like lots of breading around tiny pieces of meat. The fried rice was too crunchy because it wasn't cooked properly. The egg roll was fine. Overall the food was just average or slightly below average. For me, the low rating was because I had to do so much work myself before I could eat. Typically, I expect to put rice on a plate and the entree and begin eating, not having to sauce the dish myself in a bowl with my own utensils and clean up sticky sauce from my counter from when I was trying to sauce the meat in the takeout container. Nothing special enough about this place or food to justify a return visit.
