Kirin Chinese Restaurant

I had wanton soup and the flavor was really bad, the meat inside the wanton wasn’t fresh at all, and the service wasn’t good.

Order the Salt and Pepper wings for takeout. When I got back to work. Took a bit of the first wing. It was sour. The chicken was bad and old. I didn't have time to take it back and I was so upset I dumped it out.

I've been coming here for years with my family. The food is always good!

I'm hoping it was an off night. I have been coming here for years but tonight everything was a little bit off. Instead of favorable, everything was too salty. The Peking Duck did not have crispy skin and the meat dishes were very salty. I will try again as from experience that night was an off night.

My friends and I have been going to Kirin (SF) for years and always order the same things- salt and pepper everything! We always call the day before and order the wintermelon soup in advance and place a order for the rainbow salad. But, there seemed to be some miscommunication and there was no wintermelon soup!!! Oh no, what do we do now!?! How the heck can you forget when we called the day before?!?!?Kirin was a good neighborhood Chinese restaurant and has no claim to be "gourmet" or "fancy". No frills. Unfortunately I don't know if it has to do with lack of business or pandemic, but, I honestly think the food has slowly gone downhill. Don't get me wrong, most items were good including beef w/ asparagus and salt and pepper wings.I hate to say it, but, I think they used old crab that was previously cooked and reheated? I'm sorry, the meal I last had was not quite worth a 300 dollars. You will lose good customers like me if you "overcharge" and think you got away with it.

Very expensive, just ordinary food.

My family we ate here and the food is awesome ?Great authentic Chinese food! ?Good generous amount of food. Friendly workers but had to ask for water and tea.

Good food

In my opinion, Kirin is a Local Richmond District TREASURE! Really good spot if you are craving a rice plate or some won ton soup! Henry, Sam, and the Kirin staff do a great job.Kirin always hits the spot, and I am grateful to have had this restaurant around growing up here in San Francisco.

Very good Chinese food. Fair price and good customer services. I recommend it. Give a try and find out if the food is good or alright?
