The best Chinese restaurant in Dallas! Food was awesome delicious! waiters, and the owner are all super kind! I was in Dallas for three days. And I had dinner twice at this restaurant. I’m a Chinese foodie. If you know what that means, I’m super high Standard in terms of restaurants. And this one is absolutely one of the best! We had a function there. The owner and waiters try their best to make our event memorable. We really appreciate their hard work. And their food was amazing. If I ever in Dallas again, I’ll definitely stop by and eat there again.

Had dinner here to welcome a conference speaker. Very nice restaurant! Great dim sum. The food is fresh and delicious, especially liked the Lobster and Peking Duck -- full of flavor yet not too oily. The service is friendly and fast, and the environment is clean and comfortable. They go extra miles to make the customers happy. Good for casual or social. A great place to enjoy authentic dim sum with family and friends. As you can see we enjoy the food so much that I forgot to take a picture ahead of time. Definitely recommend.

I grew up in the Philadelphia area and my childhood was filled with going to get Dim Sum every Sunday at various Chinese restaurants in Chinatown and honestly IMO that experience is very hard to beat.
However, Kirin Court does a great job of providing the authentic Dim Sum experience in a Chinese banquet hall setting. Honestly, there is nowhere else in Dallas or the suburbs (at least that I have found) that provides that authentic experience. I make sure to take my parents here every time they come and visit from Philadelphia just to show them that they can get decent Cantonese style Chinese food in Texas (because let's be honest, most of the Chinese food around here is pretty meh).
It also might sound strange to some, but I judge Cantonese style Chinese food on how good the Chicken/Seafood Pan Fried Noodles are and Kirin Court is no joke. They have Chicken Pan Fried Noodles that are super authentic and match some of the best Chicken Pan Fried Noodles I have gotten on the East Coast. They for sure get my seal of approval.
The rest of the food is certainly passable and very good. I just don't know if I would call it 5 star good. There isn't anything else I would particularly recommend trying or avoiding. Just try it all, you won't be disappointed.
The only negative I can really say is the wait on Sundays. If you get there any time past maybe 11AM you are probably going to be waiting at least 45 minutes to be seated. So my advice for anyone coming to Kirin Court on a Sunday would be to get there right around when they open (10AM) for either no wait time or very minimal wait time.

The whole experience was astonishing! We were immediately attended to and given a table. The waitresses were so friendly and made the whole experience smooth and fast. The carts came around quickly and food was hot. Food was delicious, the dumplings and the beef noodle wraps had thin wraps which is golden. The waitresses were attentive on our tea and water refills. I had a really good time going and will definitely come back. I read the negative reviews before I went, scared me a bit, but I’m so glad I went and those negative reviews I did not experience.

Its a long wait on a weekend, that's understandable. Food is typical dimsum. They could use more staff on the weekend, the busiest time. We had a lot of waiting with ordering since one person can seem to get it right. From the drink, rice, bill, napkin. But then if you come on a non busy time, the options are limited. So you chose your battle.

Everything you'd imagine from a Sunday morning dim sum. Arrived middle of the day while the restaurant was in full swing, but despite the crowd, my party of 3 only waited about 20 minutes before our number was called. Food smelled amazing and we didnt sit long before the first cart came by. Food was hot and delicious and it was busy but not overly crowded. We were able to chat comfortably over the din of other customers. Favorite Dallas dim sum I've had thus far.

I have always noticed how busy this place is so I decided to give it a try. The food isn’t bad but it is so tasteless the best thing would be the dumplings I guess. I just can’t get over how this place is always so crowded maybe it use to be better?

We had our wedding at Kirin Restaurant and it was absolutely amazing! From start to finish, the entire experience exceeded our expectations. The food was incredible truly every single dish was delicious, so much so that I can’t recommend just one.
The owner, Michael, is one of the kindest people we know. He genuinely loves to take care of people and takes so much pride in his beautiful restaurant. It shows in every detail from the warm hospitality to the incredible food and atmosphere.
Michael, Nick, John, Jimmy, and the entire staff went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Their kindness, professionalism, and attention to detail made our special day unforgettable.
If you’re looking for outstanding food paired with exceptional service, this is the place to go. Kirin is not just a restaurant it’s an experience. We are so grateful to Michael and his team and can’t wait to come back again and again!

Great place for dim sum! The atmosphere and service are fantastic. We loved all the food - just wish they had a few more vegetarian options.
Very definite language issue. Ordered meal as a stir fry dish, by pointing on an overhead menu, but got the soup version instead. Asked for 0 level spice, again by pointing on the menu, and it was not edible... the spice level was way too much. Would be helpful if someone in the restaurant could have spoiled English. Won't go back.

It's been multiple years since I've last visited Kirin Court. It was as good as I remembered it. Great place to get some dim sum. We can only a Sunday evening, and it was fairly slow at the time. It made chatting very easy. Highly recommend checking it out, if you've never been.

I have been going to Kirin Court since last century. It is still the best dim sum in North Texas. The staff is always friendly. You know it is good when you see a vast majority of Asiatic groups dining there.

Their Dim sum is second to none. They have great reviews for good reason. Sundays are quite busy, but it is worth the wait! We will keep going back many times!

Great place for dim sum. Go early or be prepared to wait. They offer a menu but the fun is waiting to see what comes around on the carts.
