Good place to try out. The ambience is great. Just a little loud. The cocktails were hyped on the reviews. Stayed with GT which was a safe bet. The creamy shrimp appetizer was good, the dumpling were average. We ordered the red snapper that got served whole. Picture worthy. Unfortunately, it did not taste right. The staff was extremely courteous and agreed to replace that with anything else we desired. Added points for awesome customer service. Pricing is a little pretentious. It’s not a Tao or Buddakan.

Have been in the area for couple of years and finally decided to try out this restaurant on Friday night.Was disappointed by the food and drinks.The restaurant is quite big and fancy…was a bit busy on Friday night.Ambiance & service--We reserved the table beforehand as it was the weekend.-The service was a bit slow.-Ambiance is good.-They have outside seating too.Food & drinks-We ordered margaritasAsian Pear - not good no taste of pearSpicy Passion Fruit Margarita- could only taste alcohol there was no flavor.Appetizers:Lobsters rolls - tasted only like cabbageChicken Soong in iceberg lettuce- the only food item I found to be good in this restaurant food taste that nightEntrees :Signature dish kung pao chicken -Omg I am surprised how can a restaurant mess up with their signature dish.The chicken was hard as rock to eat.Nothing like a kung pao chicken dish.The rice on the side was cold and half cooked. This dish was $21 LOLWhen I give a review I always rethink because one bad review can affect the business somehow.But for the price these people are charging for the food they are serving it is absolutely not worth.I would absolutely not recommend this restaurant.

My wife and I decided to finally try Kuo Social.In our opinion it’s overrated and over priced. For our starters we ordered the Filet Minion Egg Rolls(solid amount of food for the price), and the fried calamari(never came). For the main course I had Australian Grilled Lamb Rack(meat was cooked perfectly, although I was not expecting the spices to overwhelm the taste of the meat). My wife had the filet minion(again the meat was cooked perfectly the spices just overwhelmed the flavor of the meat). We cocktails as well, they were okay. Stay clear of the key lime pie! My wife and I love key lime pie, this was by far the worst we’ve ever had. It was so terrible I didn’t even think it was deserving enough to post a picture of. For the final price tag of $150 with tip, not worth it in our opinion.

This beautiful and upscale Chinese restaurant in Robinsville has Very cool vibe. The bar is excellent. Service was great. The food is best. Just go there if you want to have a good time. We ordered the dumplings and the crispy creamy prawn as appetizers. For mains we ordered the three delicacy sizzler, mu shu pork, beef lo mein and Ichiban noodles. Everything was great. We were 5 but the portion sizes were huge. We had the leftovers for lunch next day and it tasted equally good ? .

EXPENSIVE Chinese food. Anna was very nice and helpful. Explained all the menu options for me and helped me choose good ones. The ambiance is nice. VERY Expensive, but a normal portion size for a Chinese place. Food came out pretty quick though, so that’s good!

This place was disappointing. We ordered 4 appetizers, one dessert to share, wine and a cocktail. The food looked nice but was quite bland and tasteless. The wine had its dregs in it, so was gritty and horrible. The cocktail was so spicy that it wasn’t drinkable. And the service left a lot to be desired. Won’t be going there again

The appetizers were really good, however the main courses did not live up to that standard. All of the food was freshly prepared and the service was fast and kind. I would definitely recommend the wings, which were a special, and the vegetable fried rice. The wings came with a blue cheese sauce that was INCREDIBLE! The beef mu shu was very good as well, although the beef didn’t add anything to the dish. The sweet stem cauliflower was well prepared, although lacked in flavor to make the dish interesting.

Tried their signature Peking duck and it was good but it was overpriced. The mu shu pork was good, but nothing special. The crab wontons (their version of crab rangoon) has more cheese than lump crab meat. Entrees were served on plates too big to fit on the table. The acoustics were bad, you can't carry on a conversation with your dinner mates because it was too loud.
So disappointed in our Kuo take-out order Tuesday night. We ordered the calamari, which was served without any sauce and was tasteless, greasy and unappetizing. It went right into the garbage. The beef and broccoli was fair. The vegetable fried rice also had no taste. It was simply a mixture of rice and chopped vegetables thrown together. We have take-out frequently from Kuo and have been patrons since they opened. We are finding the food to be inconsistent, and not worth the price. The owner needs to supervise what leaves the kitchen for take-out orders…not just what is served in-house.

This is an upscale Asian restaurant that had a few missteps. While the service was very good, the food presentation was terrific. The missteps included the gristle in the filet mignon egg roll appetizer and the overcooked filet in Chung King beef entrees. Otherwise, it a good meal. The flavor was good but not exceptional. We ordered lamb dumplings for another appetizer which were exquisite. The Oreo cake was perfect with not too much sweetness and allowing the Oreo to shine. The money bags were purely sinful to top a good meal. The atmosphere was stale with grey walls with red and gold hanging wall ornaments and few other decorations. It was difficult to determine if the ambiance was Korean, Chinese or something Asian. The atmosphere needs more character to stand out.

Best Chinese. Best service and very friendly staff. Love the atmosphere and the food is the best of the best the duck is out of this world. The drinks are marvelous. The dessert is to die for. If you haven’t gone here yet you have to. This is my new go to restaurant. Love it. PS order the ribs best, ribs I ever had.

We really enjoy the restaurant and how it reinterprets classics of American Chinese cuisine. Attentive service, our server always gives good explanations of the dishes. Shrimp with lobster sauce has been my favorite dish since I was five, and they make it with real lobster! Pricey, ambience could be more elegant given the prices (blasting rock music), plus they ran out of the peking duck dumplings at 5PM but the high ceilings and general airiness help with the pandemic. Full bar, hope to try the cocktails.
