Best Chinese food in Kingston. Seasoned and fried correct, I love this place so much. Get the Szechuan dumpling in hot oil. Ask for things extra spicy. Only place with Thai food in the city. You can taste wok hai in Kingston. Kai's is the spot!
uh and it's affordable and the family seems chill. you should order from here 2nite.

The food is good, but to order they recently started charging service fee plus mandatory high tip. For takeout! The $14 order I nearly placed came to $23. So no, not this time!!!

I love this restaurant, the good is great and reminds me of the takeout Chinese I grew up with in NYC. Side note: their current credit card discharge notice/policy is completely illegal, to the tune of $500 per violation reported. So far hasn't bothered me, but someone is going to report the restaurant to the local government sooner or later.

TLDR; if you like salty food and you're not picky about Chinese food, give it a try.Staff is attentive for a take out place and friendly. The son/grandson is adorable and a delight. They definitely do mostly takeout as there are only two booths available. There is a restroom, though we did not use it.The food was OK. Relatively standard American Chinese takeout; IYKYK the distinction.The main issue is that everything meant to be savory is too salty. You lose the flavors of the beef, oyster sauce, hoisin, umami etc. in all the salt. So if you like salty food, this place is good for you.The beef we ordered was velveted nicely. Perhaps a tad too long, but still better than undervelveted. It's too bad the flavor of the beef and sauce was lost in the salt.The General Tso's chicken sauce is excellent, and the crunch on the freshly fried breading was good (we ate in, so it didn't sit). However, this was overshadowed by the quality of the fried chicken as it was mostly breading on a lot of the pieces.I wasn't expecting deep fried dumplings but they were OK. The dim sum (siumai) was better, though also very salty. We did not end up liking the szechuan dumplings at all. They seemed undercooked and weirdly mushy, and served with too much salty peanut sauce that drowned out any flavor the dumpling filling would've had.

The people here complaining about the General Tso chicken really need help, they make the best General Tso chicken around, it's always crispy and never had a problem with it, the people making the bad remarks I bet never ate there, they just post bad remarks.
I went there with my little bby boy and they where so nice and welcoming !!! The place was so clean and the food was amazing my new favorite Chinese restaurant ! Plus the food was made very quick ! Will be back

omg terrible. the chicken dumplings were home made so i had high hopes..but it was literally unseasoned boiled chicken wrapped in flavorless pasta. the crab rangoon were soggy and sort of tasted idk how else to put it but old i guess. there were probably only 3 - 4 shrimp in my entree also. :(
Beef, tofu, mushrooms, scallions & broccoli in spicy garlic sauce- EXCELLENT!
