    Lower dining room
    Louise B.

    3.5* for great lunch while running errands in the area, first time in, and return visit penciled! Kung Pao chicken $10.50 had better marinade and stir fry 'wok hei' smokiness flavor, than the more generic brown sauce of the Hunan Chicken & Shrimp $11.25. Latter had more veggies, big plus for me, and surprise treat were some white stalks of bok choy, bright snappy green snow peas, baby corns, and water chestnuts for extra pleasing crunch. Both had ample protein and at lunch complimentary soup, egg flower or hot & sour. Hot & Sour was nice balance of vinegar for sour & spicy hot. Definitely an elevated Lunch menu & experience, with Beef Tomato Curry, Szechuan Lamb, and Brown Rice options although the rice upgrade at a rather steep $3.50 add-on, & a nice option for dining on an upper or lower level in the dining room. Plenty of tables and booths with a private banquet room and 2nd dining room for overflow past the bar, yes a full bar, but no upsell without either a separate cocktail/bar menu or server asking if you want any ABV, rather just a visual presence of a bar, so ask the server what they can make you, or more likely a well call drink. Nevertheless a big plus for eating Chinese out, as many are dry. I'd love to see a few outdoor tables and a patio heater on the nice built-in covered sidewalk entrance out front. Hang a few inviting lanterns for patrons new like us & old, who can be tempted out of the prolonged Covid variant-induced fear of dining in and bump up the lunch traffic--only 1 other table was occupied during lunch. & On Another Note: True, the iconic family Chinese restaurant throughout US communities are disappearing as the next generation of torch bearers are instead urged to aspire to climb the social & professional ladder, over the slog and daily demands of life around the kitchen. So please embrace the often funky and old school decor, SK is more on the mid century spectrum, and experience the traditional and true Family Style meal while these restaurants are still around, where 'Sharing Plates' truly meant that; with enough on the plate for the family to share. Somehow with yuppified decor, whether Chinese food or not, 'family style' was hacked now meaning small plates with mini portions, and the need to order 2-3 plates of the same item in order to get a shot at a bite; I still don't get it. Come here and do it right ;D

    House Spicy Ginger Chicken
    Kent T.

    Stopped in for dinner on a Wednesday. We had the house special soup for two. It was amazing with plenty amounts of veggies and meat. I put a little bit a spicy sauce which is available upon request. They seemed a bit understaffed but are service was up to par considering. The ambiance is very cozy and typical quiet. Sit away from the main door because they have a lot of people coming in for takeout. I ordered the spicy ginger chicken and it didn't disappoint was delicious.

    The best General Tso's Chicken in town. Get that and sauteed string beans and you're good to do.

    The Kung Pao Chicken had nothing but chicken in it there were no vegetables. I will say the Fried Rice was good.

    Kuang's Kitchen - Combo No. 4 Dinner w/sweet and sour on the side

    Kuang's Kitchen

    3.9(384 reviews)

    We were looking for a new Chinese restaurant and found Kuang's Chicken off of Capitol HWY down the…read moreroad 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.

    We usually get take out so can't comment on service or ambience. The food is good and the portions…read moreare 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.
