    a menu for a restaurant
    Jenny L.

    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.

    This place is such an amazing spot to have in Lowell. Parking is street parking, and you can pay at…read morethe kiosk or through the Passport app. It really depends on when you go since parking can get a little tricky. Inside, it's very cozy and has that Chinese cafe feel. It's clean, and they also have outdoor seating. My favorite are the individual window seats. I like sitting there and people-watching, though it's not exactly the busiest area for people-watching. Soup dumplings? Yes, please. The skin is slightly thicker than the ones I've had in New York, though they're still great. I never just order one thing here. They have a lot of variety with Chinese appetizers, dumplings, noodles, rice, and even mala hot pot. Do not pass up the braised pork rice bowl if you like hearty, authentic Asian dishes. I keep forgetting this place is here until the weather gets colder or I'm craving dumplings. Overall Service: Always so nice. There was one time I was on-call while dining here and got paged, and they helped box everything up for me to take home. I really appreciated that. Definitely a place I'm glad to have in the area.

    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.
