    The meal had fantastic flavors, fresh vegetables, tender cuts of meat. Only negative is we ordered a spicy dish and told them we want it "extra spicy" It wasn't spicy at all, spice would have made the dish amazing.

    This place was good! Kinda a hole in the wall place that you would like the food but not so much the building. Food WAS great and came out quick. Huge selection of food. Service was great too. One of my new go to places now. Try it out! Pot stickers were the best!

    Kowloon is as authentic as its namesake. Highly recommend the honey walnut shrimp and pork fried rice! My friends ordered the beef and broccoli and cashew chicken and they loved it. The service was also exceptional and everyone was so friendly even though we were a large party :)

    We recently moved to the area and neighbors recommended this place. We had a horrible experience. We don’t consider ourselves picky eaters but the whole dine in and eating experience here was less than ideal. Restaurant not very clean, dusty, cobwebs on light fixtures. Waitress had difficult time managing the amount of tables given to her- forgot our drinks, one plate came out fast, the other we waited about 10 minutes for. The sweet and sour sauce here has a metallic taste. Not at all what we are use to. Low quality beef in the beef and broccoli dish, very rubbery. Sesame chicken was not at all what it is suppose to be, it was breaded chicken pieces smothered in the sweet and sour sauce then sprinkled with sesame seeds. During dinner hours rice must be ordered separately, it does not come with the entrees. We did not know this so our rice came much later after we asked. Cook was cleaning/fixing? Bathroom in his apron. Just off-putting when we were sitting so close to the bathroom and trying to eat our food. Overall, very expensive for low quality food and dining experience. I’m not really sure why there are so many positive reviews. We will be taking our business elsewhere.

    The portion sizes were large so it’s great for family dining. The place is a bit small but comfy.

    There food is to die for! I've eaten there so many times over the years and have never once been disappointed! It is so good it's a reason for my family and I to get together and have a celebration and catch-up on good times! Whenever Im missing my mom real bad i call up Kowloon's order a bunch of food and head over to my dad's pretty soon my dad's house is filled with laughter and the delicious smells of Kowloon's it makes it feel like my mom is there with us!

    Have been eating here for years. Would definitely recommend it.

  • 5/5 Esteban 6 months ago on Google • 6 reviews
    This is one of our family's favorite stops. The service is outstanding. Friendly, Quick. Courteous. The food is reasonably priced and tasty. Fresh vegetables (including the mushrooms!) Can't go wrong. If you are looking for a ritzy atmosphere - this is not the place. If you are looking for phenomenal food - then you have arrived. Of note: my in-laws live in the Palm Springs area and are the penultimate "foodies" - and they love the food at Kow Loons.

    Found hair in our food. Service was horrible. Serves were just horrible attitude. Kids aren’t welcome just so you know before you decide to try to take your family out for a dinner. If I could give 0 starts I would

    Great hole in the wall in a out of the way location.. but I guess that's where the good food is. Large portions and good prices. It's like traveling back in time. Good staff I will visit again. Give it a try it's worth it.

    Food made a comeback in the last decade or so. While I love the tiny place which is completely outdated.....it's not much to speak of. The staff is great and they have a very loyal following.

  • 2/5 Margarita M. 1 year ago on Google
    Got there 2hrs before closing. Said they we only doing takeout only. And everything was ala cart. 53.00 for 2 orders.

    In from out of town. I travel for work. I eat out alot. Biyan answered the phone and took the order. I have to say she is the best on the phones including anywhere across the country. So friendly, polite and patient We got our order to go. The food was hot and fresh. A MUST GET is the bbq pork strips. They were cooked to perfection. So most, tender and flavorful. The pot sticker, chicken fingers and fried shrimp were great !!! The appetizers had generous portions. Great tasting Oh, also, the hot mustard is not the cheap imitation hot mustard packets. You get the real , clean out your sinus’ hot mustard .( also a sign of a quality Chinese restaurant) When back in town I will definitely be back !!!!!

    We let the establishment know we were showing up with a party of 18. We took us the whole place but they did amazing accommodating us. 2 waitresses took on the whole party as well as the rest of the patrons in the place.

    Food is phenomenal and service is great! Our favorite Chinese food restaurant. We live 35 miles away and will gladly drive it to eat here.

  • 1/5 Rosslyn C. 2 years ago on Google
    This has got to be the worst Chinese food I have ever tasted. Everything was bland, the deep fried shrimp had like a 1/2 pound of dough on them the shrimp was dry. I do not recommend eating here. It's like they've given up and do not care about their food or their customers. We were order number 98 on 4/25/2022. Clovis CA Location

    This is my go to Chinese restaurant whenever I want lunch or dinner. I love their specialty lunch combos and their group dinners. The building is a little old, but don't let that intimidate you as the food is amazing.

  • 5/5 Rachelle C. 8 months ago on Google
    Really great selection of good Chinese food! I grew up in Hawaii and so many places blood red vinegary sweet and sour and overly thickened sauces. These guys got it right. Everything was tender and tasty and seasoned just right.

  • 5/5 D G. 3 years ago on Google
    I’ve been here a few times and usually get the soft chow mein special with 14 shrimps or the honey walnut shrimp, both are amazingly delicious. I’ve always had good service here that can recall. Yes, the place might look old, but don’t let that distract you, the food here is Good, so stop on by and get yourself some delicious food. 👍🏽

    Definitely recommended! Two of us went to this restaurant, ordered two dinner sets, but the food would be enough for 3/4 people. We took the full lunches we still had home, to take away. The food was served very quickly, it was fresh, hot and carefully served. The service was very helpful and polite. Ask for the recommended beef! We ordered two varieties, both were delicious! For such a set, in addition to your favorite meat, you will receive apettizer, rice or pasta, a large portion of saturated soup and a fortune cookie for dessert. The restaurant looks inconspicuous, but is definitely worth a recommendation. I’m very pleased.
