    The best Chinese restaurant in Kenya. They have quality food. The food here is favourable for both Chinese and Kenyan people. The owner of the restaurant is An angel she made sure kids have free clean playground and even employed staff to look after kids while playing😍😍😍. Not forgetting the free snacks before meal and free ice cream after meal with good gifts for both kids and adults.

    Awesome ambiance, has kids play area. Good food, free icecream after every meal. The owner makes sure you are comfortable and sorted if there is any issue or request.

    Lovely place with great food. Just don't visit it on a weekend or any public holiday. You will suffer. I loved the food. Great portions and well served. The dessert and the gifts on your way out are definitely an added bonus. I'd recommend but the timing will always be suspect so I'll say visit on that weekday that you are free and have time to yourself. You'll enjoy it immensely.

    This is my favourite Chinese restaurant in Nairobi. First of all the service is great, the food portions are large which makes value for money, and the food itself is affordable, the restaurant is usually packed especially during the evening, it's better to go early on the weekends so as to get a table. Food here is delicious. What I like most about this restaurant is that they offer gifts after food. It's a family restaurant with a kids play area. I just don't have anything bad to say about this restaurant. If you're looking for good Chinese food, try here. They don't do deliveries though but they offer takeouts.

    Great family friendly restaurant, easy to find, ample parking, value for money and such a good hangout spot for the whole family. The prices are quite friendly and the portions are good as well. The place gets really full especially over the weekend but they try their best to attend to everyone. They offer complimentary ice cream after a meal which is really a plus and they give gifts and toys. They really know how to ensure you keep going back. The food however, was not the best. It just felt like it lacked something and we kept trying to add the sauces just to give it a kick. Probably the best time to go enjoy the food would be when it’s not packed. The kids will enjoy the place as they have plenty of games.

    I went there for lunch and I can’t express how happy I was with their services. Very clean, food came on time and some therapeutic music. They gave us free dessert, very generous with the food. And on top of that they gave me gifts?! They have new loyal customers for sure

    Very friendly and warm staff. Very generous - we got some nachos/crisps and sauces for free as a welcome, the food came in generous portions one portion on the menu serves 2 comfortably, we also had free ice cream and the baby was given some toys for free as well. The food is affordable and very yummy. They have a play area with minders at no extra cost. I just did not love the plastic table we got plus the area we were taken to was slightly slanted so if not careful you could fall, I guess it was in a bid to create more space as the place was full. Def going back. When I went back a 3rd time I was shocked to learn that they open from 12noon and it was a struggle for the guards to allow us in 30minutes early, we literally had to plead as we had kids and nowhere else to go for the 30minutes.

    I love hanging out here with my mum and sisters. Their food is so tasty and the quantity..... Oh my gosh! Its alot of food. We usually eat until we can't eat anymore then take away the rest. My recent experience with a waiter called Enoch was amazing. I had forgotten my phone and was meeting my family so when I asked him if I could use his phone, he was gracious enough to allow me to use it. What I have noticed the many times we have visited is that the waiters always serve you with a smile. Keep up the good work For You.

    Being mother's day today it was super packed but we waited patiently until a table was free. Think you may have to expand your business by adding an extra floor. Food was great as always and fresh . Staff are super fantastic and ver friendly and work well under pressure.

    We arrived at about 6pm and left at about 8.30 pm. In the beginning, service was quick but that slowed down as more guests trickled in. While the food was delicious, the overall waiting capabilities at the restaurant were disorganised. We had to wait longer than usual between orders which was annoying. We had the chicken with mushroom, sizzler pork, beef with cashew nuts, chicken noodles and vegetable rice. The chicken and beef were a hit. The noodles were bland. Our waiter, K. Bernard was lovely although service in general was quite slow. If they fixed the service pace, this place would be top notch. The lady handing out the hot towels and snacks was very friendly. As usual, they provided complimentary ice cream for dessert which is always appreciated.

    Sundays are usually packed with family and kids. Great portions. Great value. Parking may be redirected to their back entrance if it is full. Also, they have minders for the key play area. On Sundays they open at noon best to make a reservation if you are a large party.

    The food is absolutely delicious and serving sizes are more than you'd think. The service was a bit slow, but then again it was Sunday and the place was absolutely packed. The atmosphere is great. Fresh air and cozy vibes. This is one of the few restaurants that actually offer free appetizers before your meal and free dessert (ice cream) after your meal.

    Had a fine dining experience here. The food was delicious with generous portions at affordable prices. It's a great place for families, thanks to the kids playing area. The support staff is friendly and professional, adding to the overall positive experience. A hidden gem

    The place is so amazing, the food is so delicious 😋 and at a very affordable price. They offer free starters and ice cream, free take aways like sweets, small kid toys, there is some playing area for kids. The services are just but incredible. One can hold a birthday party here. Don't miss out to try the place. Graduation parties are also done here.

    This is one of the best Chinese restaurants I have been to. Its located in Lavjngton on Gitanga Road Its a large family restaurant, complete with kids playground. It is very popular and if you intend to go there over weekends and evenings, it may be advisable to make a booking first The food is delicious and fresh. The menu is extensive. I particularly loved their chicken wings and spring rolls. For ice cream lovers, they give ice cream free for desert. They also hand out gifts for the regulars. The ambience and decor is great, although not too Chinese. The restaurant is ideal for hosting small parties, particularly the outside seating space.

    I loved it totally. A great place for the family. The food was great and affordable. There's a whole children's playground with many kids games and toys and the ambience is great. The most amazing thing is that they give you a DESSERT and GIFTS before you leave. We got 2 key holders, a leather-ish pouch, lighting swords, lots of sweets, a flashlight and a ball. Never been to a restaurant that gives gifts. :)

    Place full of visitors because of the good food. The ambience is average and so is the service. Infact it feels as thought there is a level of discrimination and low class service however the good food compensates

    Excellent food and service, very friendly and knowledgeable waiters, wide variety of dishes to choose from, we had spare ribs and fried mushrooms for starters followed by sweet and sour prawns, beef in oyster sauce and fried fish accompanied by a serving of egg rice. For 3 people it was more than enough, generous size servings.

    I've been to For You Chinese Restaurant two or three times with family. The food is tasty, the service is good and I love how they give us gifts after the meal. The prices are reasonable and the portions are large. The place is always super busy and full so I suggest going early especially if you're a large group of people.

  • 5/5 Juliana N. 2 years ago on Google

  • 3/5 Sambo S. 1 year ago on Google
    This chinese restaurant has a nice food, I would give it a 6.5/10 i would given 10/10 but the food wasn't chinese testful,price is good,some dishes had too much soy source. I give them credit for fast service, in a matter of minutes food was served. Overall good place to eat. Note that in the evenings you might need to wait for a table as it is usually packed full.

  • 5/5 Eric P. 2 years ago on Google
    A family favorite! The food is good, the service is quick and to say that they are family friendly would be an understatement. The kids have plenty to keep them occupied. A playroom, toys, a garden, ping pong table, trampoline and several playgrounds. At the end of the meal you get ice cream and toys for you to take home with you. Fantastic!

  • 5/5 Lela 1 year ago on Google
    Everything was simply amazing, I would recommend going as a group or if your going alone or just two people ask for few dishes as their portions are enough for more than one person. The foods were well done, the service was amazing, their menu is versatile, the place is very pocket friendly and they gave out some Christmas hampers which was lovely. A hotter chilli option would be nice for people who eat alot of chili.

  • 4/5 Kagochi t. 4 months ago on Google
    It is a family friendly restaurant. It has a play area for little kids and can also seat large groups. The service is friendly sometimes they take a while to serve you but it’s a place you come spend some significant amount of time. The food is good and the portions are quite generous.

  • 5/5 Martin M. 6 months ago on Google
    Very nice and affordable food. We were treated by a very polite staff. The food was great and we really enjoyed. If you have a birthday or a family dinner or lunch. You can reserve a table early. A complimentary ice-cream is available for ice-cream lovers. I highly recommend them.

  • 4/5 Paul O. 4 months ago on Google
    The reception is quite warm, the environment is very child friendly and spacious for family meals or large groups. In addition to that,the food is very fresh,delicious and in good portions. Would recommend this place again and again.

  • 4/5 Nelson K. 3 months ago on Google New
    The restaurant is excellent. The food, as always, is fantastic and the prices are reasonable. The portion sizes are impressive and the food is delicious. The service was a little slow, but it was Christmas Eve and the place was packed. The ambiance is wonderful, with fresh air and a cozy feel. It's best to order slightly less food than the size of your group to avoid leftovers. It's best to avoid going on major holidays, as the restaurant is a popular spot in Nairobi and gets very crowded, resulting in longer wait times and slower service. However, the good service and nice little extras make up for it.

  • 4/5 Wilbroda O. 4 months ago on Google
    Great restaurant. Great food, as always. Affordable, and the portions are impressive. Always order one serving less than the size of your group, otherwise you'll end up with a lot of leftover food. Consider avoiding on major holidays. It's a favourite in Nairobi so it tends to be rather packed, which equals a longer seating time and slower service. However the good service and cute little freebies make up for it just fine.

  • 1/5 Shariffa R. 3 years ago on Google
    WORST SERVICE! PLEASE READ! I normally come to this restaurant but today is the worst day I have had with them. We get into the gate and get one of the employees and ask if they are open and they said yes till 8pm and we had another 15 minutes till they closed. We park and get inside and the waiter welcomes us and takes us to a table for 6. We get seated and after 5 minutes another waiter comes with his high pitched and rude tone and demanded us to take take away like we committed a crime sitting down. Another waitress brought starters and warm towels and then refused to take our order and we left. Worst service I have ever had. Train your staff on how they speak to customers!

  • 5/5 Melody N. 5 years ago on Google
    This is one of my best Chinese restaurants because the meals are amazing the quantity is worth your money and get this you get a free gift afterwards isn’t that amazing ....I highly recommend one to visit because you won’t be disappointed 😍😋

  • 5/5 Grace N. 4 years ago on Google
    The service was very helpful in recommending the best menu for the day. The chicken was definitely finger licking. Plus the free complementary ice-cream as dessert is 👌.

  • 4/5 Murtaza A. 3 years ago on Google
    One of the few places that have strived hard to maintain their quality standards in terms of just food. The vibe of the restaurant all in all is fading and definitely needs an upgrade right from the furniture to the cutlery itself.

  • 4/5 Sharon A. 5 years ago on Google
    It Was a very good place with very good ambience. We had a private event and Infact there were several of the same (baby showers). We ate fried rice, chicken and beef which was very nice. There were some bitings That they gave before the meals, however, the carrots were abit stale and crisps (I think cassava crisps) tasteless. Otherwise it's a good place overall . Good photos can also be taken at the venue. They also have provision for sitting inside or outside in tents

    I was highly disappointed in their food. For a Chinese restaurant, they really outdid themselves in trying to be very bleh. The environment was great so two stars for that and the only thing enjoyed, in everything we ordered were the prawn noodles. The service was a bit slow but nonetheless receptive and they drinks menu was not all bad but for the food, big no.

    2/10/2020 I've just ordered chicken and cashew nut, from the delivery option and received the wrong order..I called the restaurant and the man who answered, refused to let me talk to the manager or person incharge so I could exchange my meal..This is incompetency, considering I've been a frequent customer and celebrated afew events at this restaurant.. I understand it might be a busy environment, but it's the staff's responsibility to make sure they get the orders right. Moreover, the restaurant doesn't provide delivery transportation, so I had to pay for it thrice!! Please rectify these unnecessary issues.
