    Chicken wings (garlic flavour)
    Samantha W.

    Had dinner here today since we were in the area. Interior is nicely renovated/decorated. Looks very clean. What we ordered: Garlic chicken wings, Lemongrass chicken on rice, Lg Laksa, and Pad Thai w/ assorted vegetables instead of egg and prawns. The two other people I was with said the chicken wings were okay, nothing special. Lemongrass chicken on rice: My cousin said it was really good and just wished the portion size was a little bigger. Laksa: Very flavourful soup with rich coconut flavour. Great seasoning, vermicelli was cooked right. Was a yummy dish. Probably the best Laksa *in Kelowna*. (Tried Laksa at a few other places and they were not Laksa at all.) Pad Thai: When I ordered the pad Thai I asked for assorted veggies instead of egg and prawns and the server said that the kitchen doesn't like doing that because they don't think it tastes good and asked me if I still wanted it. I said yes so she went ahead and put my order through. I've had Vegetable only pad Thai at other restaurants and I always enjoy it - to each their own. The pad Thai at this restaurant was good, I personally would've liked to have more veggies in it but otherwise the overall flavour was okay. However when we got our bill, I noticed we were charged an extra $2.50 on the pad Thai because it was rung in as an extra veggie charge with notes that says no egg, no prawns. I've never at any other Thai restaurant been charged extra for having vegetables in place of animal foods(eggs & prawns). I do however understand that every restaurant has their own right to do things differently BUT it would've been nice if the extra charge were communicated when I was ordering. For example: When we were ordering our server asked us if we were okay with cilantro. It's the same courtesy to say "It's an extra charge for vegetables instead of prawns & egg is that okay?".

    This is one of our favourite restaurants to visit. Fresh ingredients and good proportion for price. The best Laksa in town!

Since After searching on Yelp ... we came with anticipation and we were totally blown away with their various dishes!! The dining room is bright and has a youthful ambiance! I always have a soft spot for Ma Po Tofu ( a Szechuan Spicy Tofu dish ) and I am happy to report that it was super delicious ... too bad it was only two of us and we couldn't order too many other dishes! But I am glad I ordered my fav dish! The Spicy Wonton is also done just right, not too spicy and the filling still very juicy and the wonton wrappings were super smooth in texture! I also liked their version of Singapore Style Fried Rice Vermicelli .. not greasy at all and have the distinctive " Wok Hei"! Overall, this is a great addition to the local Asian food scene, run by very friendly family ... in times like these, its important to support small local business! Since its just across from the Kelowna Airport ... its super convenient to hop off the plane and order yourself authentic dim sum and enjoy some fruity green tea!!

    Came here based on other Yelp reviews and happy we did, rather than our initial place (the other…read moreplace in Kelowna that serves dim sum. Happy I called to verify whether dim sum was avail on a Sunday morning (website states 4-8:30). Quite happy they serve congee (chicken or pork w/ preserved egg), which satisfied my "Chinese craving". Dishes we ordered satisfied our dim sum craving...flavours were okay, but definitely the place to go in between visits to Richmond or Toronto. Service was good, considering they were busy, and it appeared the lady was running around with more haste and expertise than the young man. Having grown up in Toronto and had dim sum from San Francisco, Vancouver, and Hong Kong, this place may not be best in comparison but love that they are avail to satisfy that dim sum craving while in the Okanagan! This is a rating of 3.5.

We don't eat red meat, but that certainly didn't limit our choices. We started with the Chili Shrimp Dumplings, Scallop & Prawn Ceviche, and the Family Milk Bread. Every dish was outstanding. In fact, we wished we'd ordered our own portions! The milk bread was so good we immediately ordered another. Served steaming hot as a freshly baked pull-apart loaf, it was perfect for soaking up every last drop of the incredible sauces. For our entrées, my husband ordered the Ginger Scallion Crab Bowl, generously filled with crab and perfectly cooked noodles. I had the Roasted Sesame Salad with scallion chicken and crispy fried tofu. We sampled each other's dishes, but this was one of those rare occasions where my husband couldn't get enough of his own! I couldn't blame him because mine was every bit as delicious. We were too full for dessert, so we took the tiramisu home to enjoy later. The bar menu also deserves special mention. I ordered the Full Moon Party, a creative twist on a Lemon Drop topped with a light, fluffy lemon foam. It was as beautiful as it was delicious. Watching the bartender create other cocktails convinced me we'll be back to explore more of the menu. I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the service. Our server, Svetlana, treated us like royalty and genuinely cared about making our anniversary special. The entire team worked seamlessly together, always smiling and happy to help. Kin & Folk has officially become our favourite restaurant, and we'll definitely be bringing our own kin and folk there in the future. With several beverages, multiple appetizers, generous entrées, and dessert, our bill before tip was about $100 per person. For food and service of this calibre, it was excellent value and made for an unforgettable anniversary celebration. Highly recommended!

Their interpretation of ceviche was beautiful, they offer it with a Thai twist, coconut milk and basil. The drinks were great. Our server Maria was phenomenal, classy and professional. We also ordered the Asian Greens which we also highly recommend. We also tried the soy chicken, which was prepared sous vide style, and made for a very interesting and creative dish. The other main we tried was the ginger scallion crab, which was Italian inspired but with Asian ingredients, such as black bean paste, a lovely dish. The portions were huge, so consider sharing. The tiramisu was also very. We highly recommend this spot and will return when back in town.

    Another surprisingly cold day in Kelowna for us and after a quick trip up to Myra Canyon in our…read moreshorts and t-shirts, we were desperate for some warmth. We browsed through Google search for some hot soupy meals and came across TZone. You can never go wrong with ramen on a cold rainy day. I ordered the Ebi Mayo and a BBQ pork ramen because you have to have a classic tonkotsu when comparing ramen places and that was the closest I could get. Plus I love BBQ pork. The Ebis were surprisingly big and perfectly fried but I just remembered they were using Tiger shrimp so that makes sense I like the crispiness of the batter without it being oily at all. The mayo was quite spicy sooooo if you can't take spice I would ask for the sauce on the side. 5/5 The BBQ PORK RAMEN had chunks of BBQ pork instead of the classic thin slices of pork belly. I liked it for the slight char on the outside a and the tenderness of the pork on the inside. They managed to make it still melt in your mouth tender. Soup base was pretty solid with no MSG but it was with chicken broth! Ramen noodles were standard and cooked to al dente. 4/5 My friends ordered the chi-Ku-wa-crispy Japanese rolled fish cake with cream cheese inside and garlic mayo sauce. It was yummy with the spring of the fish cake and the creaminess of the cheese. I don't usually go to Asian restaurants when visiting Kelowna but this will now be our backup plan whenever we are craving some soupy noodles

The rich and clear broth had multiple layers of flavours with some underlying sweetness. You would want to continue to drink it. As I didn't feel thirsty due to MSG, I would recommend it more. The flavour was a solid 5-star for this small size of Pho House Special. The value was a 3-star though. Overall is a 3.5-star. For 20 bucks I got one thin piece of rare wagyu beef, one thin piece of beef flank, 3 pieces of one third of beef ball, and 4 to 5 very thin pieces of tripe. The amount of pho noodles were adequate for a size small. The texture of the pho was a tad less al dente than my liking, but it was still good, not too soft. At the end, I thought something was missing, but I didn't pay too much of an attention. A few hours later, I checked the menu again. Tendon it is! There was zero tendon in my bowl. Perhaps the chef forgot about it during a standard lunch hour. The dining room was about 70% full at the time. I would go again to try other dishes if I happen to be in the area again on a business trip. They serve sushi as well. Their appetizers looked good, too. It's an interesting Vietnamese/Japanese restaurant. The servers were nice. The service was fast. Parking was super easy in the outdoor mall parking lot.
