“The food was amazing! Tons of options for the soup and honestly, amazing flavor.
A little pricey, granted I threw in a lot of stuff on my bowl. 100% worth it though!

Nice quiet environment, very nice atmosphere, great service with friendly staff. Definitely will go back !“

“Came to try the viral salt and pepper chicken wings.

Came for lunch and got the egg drop soup and it was yummy.

Got the bbq pork and it came with rice and a spring roll and I chicken wing. The rice was okay. The bbq pork was so good. The chicken wing is a good wing but nothing really special. The orange chicken wasn’t good. Maybe it was over cooked.“

“My mom has been taking me and my siblings to this place since I was like a toddler I think and even before I was born probably. I’m now 20 and I still enjoy coming here. It’s one of my favorite spots and depending on who you bring. They might also like it. I have so many good memories at this place and even if it was just ordering takeout this place has been a big part of my family just for dinner, parties, or just because we’re hungry I definitely recommend this place even though it’s under new ownership. It still reminds me of the place that I used to go to when I was younger and I love that. This place will always be close to my heart and to my family“

“Decided to give this place a try because there were a bunch of buy-one-get-one's on UberEats. Got the spicy orange chicken, broccoli beef, lo mein, cream cheese rangoons, and sweet & sour chicken (just an FYI, the sweet & sour chicken comes with the sauce already on the chicken). I really wasn't expecting much since there were no reviews and so many BOGO deals but I gotta say, Kim's outperforms other Chinese restaurants that are in the same price range. Hopefully they won't get rid of the BOGO deals anytime soon, cause I'll keep ordering as long as they are offered. I'm impressed!“

“My childhood restaurant. I started coming here since 2014. I still come here in 2024. The food is still good. The price for the food is the only problem since it’s a bit higher than before. People that served the food are very nice and chill.“

I noticed that while customers were eating and enjoying their meals, she took the time to visit each table to make sure everyone was comfortable and had everything they needed. Her attentiveness and genuine care for the customers really stood out. She is a great example of outstanding service!“

“Bang for your buck on sushi. I always get sashimi platter and salt and pepper tofu. Ginza house noodles, orange chicken, all of it amazing.

Wait staff could use some training on service and how to look for tables that may need assistance. They seem to lose their way when they have more than 4 of 5 tables.“

“The place has a lot of steaming cooking food in the back. But when we sat down, in the restaurant, the food isn't even the slightest bit warm. I told my daughter it'll taste better when she eats leftovers at home where she can heat it up. This is a bad experience that I've never had before. And the place is very busy so the food isn't just sitting around.“
