    Spring rolls

    Food was ok, service was great and the dining area was nice and small but will be back to try other dishes

    a menu for a restaurant

    Formerly Golden House Chinese restaurant. Now a family owned Cambodian restaurant. Kao's Kitchen is a quaint little restaurant that is a great addition to the Lowell Cambodian food scene. You can see the kitchen at the counter where you pay. Service was as expected but the food came out a bit slow. Ordered the special Bai Moun (Chicken Rice). It was delicious; chicken and chicken skin were crispy unlike the traditional chicken rice dish. The rice could use some more flavor; however, the pickled vegetables helped. Portion size was big. Price was a bit higher compared to other neighboring Cambodian restaurants. Would like to try other things on the menu next time I'm in town.

    Chinese Donut

    this was the first meal i had here in massachusetts. lowkey i thought i was gonna be exploring boston but they live in like the outskirts which is fine and i liked exploring it. it reminded me of california before i got to go home yay. my aunt took me to this cambodian place because this other place she wanted to go to was closed. i think this is my first time ever at a cambodian restaurant which is literally so interesting cuz my family is basically cambodian like what. i got mee-katang but my grandma makes it for me and it was good but not as good as hers. i ate chinese donut for the first time in like 6 months and omg it was mid. so that's why when i come back i NEED to eat it. but overall the beef skewers were great and then the other food was awesome too. i will never be back here again which is sad but it's alright. 5 STARS!!!

    But the real standout, in my opinion, was the coconut sour soup -- absolutely delicious.

We also had scallion pancake (handmade- light, fluffy and crispy in all the right places). The mini hotpot was so good. The broth was fiery and flavorful, I dunked the scallion pancake and dumplings in the hotpot broth to sop up the deliciousness. Comfort food at its finest. We will be back!

    This place has the best dumplings in the area, their mala stir fry is amazing. A group of friends…read moreand I are almost regulars here. But today's experience was sub par to what we are used to. I didn't leave the establishment because I was with others who wanted to enjoy the food. The first issue was we couldn't seat where we wanted, it had to be where the waitress or manager decided we were to seat. Not one client in the restaurant. Then she brought the bill before we requested no one was waiting to be seated, then refused to split the bill when previous times with a different server was not a problem. We split the bill to only 2 because thats all she could do, me paying for 4 people she denies my tip amount and says if I don't tip a 18% , theywill charge me $80 extra for a party of 6, again we were only 4 people. I am very disappointed with my service and treatment, unfortunately I don't know the server name but she is one that speaks more English. Will I go back and be bullied into tipping what they want? Probably no.

    The servers (and chef!) here go above and beyond, and the food here is delicious and plentiful; the…read more"free sample" of kimchi my dad somehow ended up with after talking to the chef about vegan food or something was not only the only kimchi that my had ever liked, it was also vegan, due to the lack of anchovies. It was also, apparently, less salty, presumably for the same reason. The amount of kimchi in the "sample" was so plentiful as to almost fill up the mini cup we used for takeout. They have a large selection of vegetarian and vegan food, as well as some gluten free items, though they lack the staff and kitchen size to accommodate celiacs, so it's really more of use for people on elimination diets or with poor digestive capabilities. The owner had prior training in Italian cuisine, which is the reason such food is on the menu, and while neither my father nor I had occasion to try it, it is apparently a passion of the chef's, and the shared discussion of their mutual interest in Italian cooking may be the reason my father was given a free "sample" of kimchi, which was larger than the paid order of kimchi at most other restaurants. The food portions, in general, are massive, with the leftovers of an order of wonton soup not fitting in a to-go canister, with other orders being similarly large. Their jasmine tea is unusual for its slight fruity flavor, and ability to "overbrew" without becoming bitter, instead maintaining its delicate flavor. Each table has condiments, which in addition to including the "normal" chili crisp, and fish sauce often found at Asian restaurants that provide table condiments, have the more western pepper grinder, as well as garlic salt. Curiously, there is no "normal" salt as often found at western restaurants, though bottles of sriracha are found at every table. Perhaps the garlic salt and sriracha are the restaurant's "unique twist"?

    Still in my rotation, and I still mostly stick with the sizzling hot items, alternating among…read morechicken, shrimp, and fish. Still excellent, still sweet (though now more noticeably spicy too), and still important to remind that the dishes here are not necessarily attempting authentic cuisine of specific regions (even though specific dishes are named), but more of a freestyle approach. The wings have improved in recent visits. More plump, more crisp, more juice, more flavor. Still good value. Still a little weak on the service (more about being young, unfocused and lacking initiative than anything approaching rudeness). Still highly recommended.
