It’s nice to see a Chinese Restaurant that has not stooped to the Orange Chicken & Sweet and Sour all you can eat buffet quality. This place is great.
I only had the Kung Pow Chicken for lunch. Medium. And their medium is the real deal medium Hot. Vegetables were cooked correctly and still had texture and snap. Chicken was not breaded which was nice to see.
One of the better Chinese places in Portland.

Have been here a handful of times, never disappoints. the staff is always so friendly and kind. the wontons in chili oil and dried fried honey beef are my personal favorites. and it's usually very fast and convenient, even during tourist season.

Honey dried fried beef foods crazy

Nothing horrible...Nothing great...our guest took a bite of his pork dish and didn't have another...

The food is really good here. The people are very friendly. And they have a great selection of food.

Food is always great, and prices are reasonable. Love supporting a small business run by nice folks! Lots of vegan and gluten friendly options too.

Kind staff, amazing food, and quick for delivery, too! I’ve been eating at Kung Pow for like 7 years and it’s remained the same amazing flavor. The hot and sour soup gets me through any cold day! Good options for V/GF folks.

Super-nice staff and the best Hot and Sour Soup! Even gluten free! I'm mostly a vegetarian but I make an exception once a month to order their hot and sour soup. It is soul food. Their vegetable dishes are delicious and well prepared too. The decor is warm and relaxing. Go To This Restaurant. You won't regret it.

Came by for Chinese New Year. Atmosphere: Not the comfiest table seating and a little drafty by the bathroom, but I forgot about that once our food came.
Price: The portions were quite fair for the $16 price. I brought someone who typically never has leftovers and they had enough chicken for a snack the next day.
Food: I love when a place has both vegan AND meat on the menu so my company is happy. The dishes we ordered both had us happy dancing in our seats.
Cons: Hours- The service was lovely, but I did notice that it is not welcomed to arrive at 9:30 despite the closing time being 10pm.

Our first visit was great. It was not busy at around 5pm on a Friday, so we were seated right away. Our server was very friendly and informative when I asked questions about their menu. My husband had the sweet and sour pork with the pork belly fried rice, and I had the honey dry fried chicken with brown rice. I did not share, haha. For drinks, I had the spiked Thai tea. All delicious! Also, the atmosphere was great. A solid choice in the future.
Everything was delicious. I'm a big fan of the red curry prawns / House made noodles and soup dumplings

Very large portions. On Xmas Day I ordered a small hot and sour soup, white rice and hot honey chicken. I had food for midnight snack and the next day. It was still delicious after reheating.

Decided to try eating out on Christmas Day and chose Kung POW, and loved our meal.
The restaurant was crowded, of course with the holiday, but we waited about 40 minutes and we're seated. The staff is amazing at moving people about after serving food, clearing the tables and resetting them. Thumbs up to the staff!
For starters we ordered the Fried Tofu, which was exactly as it sounds, large pieces of fried tofu with some soy sauce on the side.
For dinner, I ordered the Broccoli With Tofu served with the house sauce, a slightly sweet brown sauce. The broccoli was very fresh with a slight crunch, the dish was fantastic, slight heat but not too spicy.
My partner ordered the Sesame Tofu with garlic, ginger and a sweet and spicy sauce on a bed of broccoli. The broccoli is just so fresh.
Our son ordered the Sesame Chicken served with garlic, ginger, and a sweet and spicy house sauce. He loved his dish.
For the table we ordered a plate of Dried Sauteed String Beans served with minced ginger and a soy sauce. Like the broccoli the string beans were extremely fresh with a nice crunch.
Overall, great food, fresh ingredients and amazing service, especially when overly crowded.
Highly recommend.

The XLB, fried rice, and beef and broccoli are amazing. Staff is extremely nice. 11/10.

The person on the phone when I ordered was VERY nice. The customer service is always nice here. But, there was no RICE in my sizzling RICE Soup. There was chicken, mushrooms and a ton of peas. The broth wasn’t great either it tasted watered down. It was just a disappointing experience. And it was expensive. I realllly want to like this place. I do. But I feel like this happens every time.
