    Chicken lo mein
    Amanda T.

    While I can't eat a lot of fried things anymore, Khoo offers a variety of traditional American Chinese food as well as Malaysian food. My go to is typically chicken lo mein. But I also really like their cucumber avocado rolls. The food is always fresh and hot. The owner Yen is such a nice guy. Whenever we go in he always greets us and will ask how everything is going. There is plenty of seating and they can accommodate larger groups. If you are looking for a good lunch or dinner option, check out Khoo!

    Lunch Sesame Chicken
    Lindsay C.

    Went for music bingo and ordered the sesame chicken. Bingo was fun and well-done, and our server was nice and fast. The sesame chicken wasn't made with very high-quality chicken, so I wouldn't order it again. The rice was fine, if a bit dry. I appreciated that it came with an egg roll, and that was tasty.

    $15 chicken fingers and crab Rangoon plate. Add egg roll.

    Right off the bat, I will tell you that I am somewhat of an American Chinese food addict ... and expert. In my home of Los Angeles, there are simply no good 'junk food styie' Chinese restaurants anywhere. Not like the ones on the East Coast anyways. Obviously, the style of food they serve here would be unidentifiable in actual China. However, in my opinion, there is no better or tastier food on the planet than good old fashioned American-style Chinese junk food. It seems hard to fuck up chicken fingers and fried rice ... but somehow restaurants do. Let me start by saying that this is the best Chinese food I've had in Rhode Island. That's not saying much as every place I've tried to date here ... Cathay Garden, Two Sisters, etc. has not been worth going back to. Massachusetts completely blows away almost any other place I've eaten Chinese food (other than NYC). Khoo doesn't even come close to Yong Shing, Kow Loon, etc. in Massachusetts. But it's edible ... and decent. I was a bit bummed out that they don't really have big combo platters here. You have the option for a big pu pu platter for $26 ... or $13 appetizer and fried rice plates. You can pay extra to add different things, which is good. I ordered the option with fried rice, 3 chicken fingers and 3 Crab Rangoon for $14. I added an egg roll for $2.50. Chicken fingers ... Good, not great. The chicken inside was a little overcooked and rubbery. The batter was crispy but not as light as I'd have liked. The places that use rice flower for a tempura-style batter are much better. The size of the chicken fingers was good but I could have used 1 or 2 more. Crab Rangoon ... This is make or break for a Chinese restaurant. If they don't have good crab Rangoon, I am not coming back. (Looking at you Two Sisters and Cathay Garden) These were rounded balls vs. the triangles with the filling in the center. I've only seen this style a few times and it is more like a fried dumpling. Having said that, they were decent. Not great but good. There was a good amount of cheese. It didn't have that sweet, creamy cheese taste with a little sharpness from the garlic. I tasted no pieces of actual crab ... it was pretty much cheese with a crab seasoning. I'd put these on par with grocery store Market Basket 's crab rangoons. Nothing special ... but not terrible. I still ate them all. Fried Rice ... Pork fried rice here was better than most. Not that many pieces of pork and no fried egg. However it had enough spy sauce to be flavourful. The rice was dark brown ... and not the oily, light brown garbage most places make in large batches and dish out. This tastes fresher. The best fried rice I've had in Rhode Island. Egg Roll ... Nothing special. Small. Mass produced. No meat in it ... cabbage filling was bland. I would not order this again herez though egg rolls are my favourite. I found it very tacky that they charge $.35 for house made hot mustard and $2 for house made duck sauce. Otherwise they give you the sealed packets of corporate condiments which suck incredibly. Good sauces make Chinese food ... it is not great to need to pay extra for them. Overall, this will be my go-to spot for takeout Chinese in RI, unless I find better. It's by no means amazing and in Massachusetts would get 3 stars. However, it's nice to find Chinese food that is actually decent in RI.

    Modern, stylish Chinese/Malaysian joint with an interesting menu, with many wings options, many combo plate options, and for two dollars extra, you can upgrade to a dinner combo, which includes a larger serving of the entrée, plus an egg roll. Egg Rolls: Not that lengthy, but decent girth, nice golden shell with crispness, and a cornucopia of goodies inside. Great color, nice crunch and moisture, and strong flavors from the celery-heavy greenery, the pork, the pork glaze, and seasonings. This one checks all the boxes and with an indelible marker. Elite. Boneless Spareribs (on an appetizer combo): Slices and chunks of pork, with some crispness here and there, in a sweet sauce (wet, as opposed to a glaze). Not dry underneath, but all of the moistness came from the sauce. Flavor and feel took me back to Tony Roma's, circa 1988. Average. Beef Teriyaki (on the combo): Tough act to follow, coming on the heels of elite ones at Dragon Garden a bit to the north, but these had good tenderness despite being thin. More soy than sweet in the marinade and glaze. Above average. Khoo Wings (on the combo): Not wanting to commit to a full order of one of their specialty wings (several flavors from different cuisines), merely a trial here (3 pieces). Dark, sweet, and a bit salty/funky. Firm-not-crisp skins with moist inner meat. Average. Shrimp and Lobster Sauce: Lighter than standard sauce, with ripples of egg affecting color and texture. Strong flavor to the meat, whose primary component was salt. It kept reminding me of something, and then it hit me: supermarket vacuum-sealed, smoked peppered salmon off the rack (very near the deli counter if you shop Market Basket). It kept hitting me: salty, salmony, and exactly like that product. Not horrible, but certainly not what I wanted. The shrimp were firm and enjoyable enough, but even without the sauce had that same salty salmon flavor. A little below average (but might be great for the right person). Egg Foo Yong (on a dinner combo): Served with sauce on the side, and by virtue of going with the dinner combo, two patties/omelettes instead of one. Crisp exterior, tender interior, decent porkage, but nothing notable. Mild Sauce. A little above average. Pork Fried Rice (on the dinner combo): Bland and with the puffy feel of couscous. Minimal pork, minimal flavor. (Note that this wasn't their Malaysian fried rice, which I'd assess with a different perspective.) Below average. Egg Roll (on the dinner combo): Hey, why not another half each? A nice reprise. Here we have another one of those Chinese meals with some highs and some lows, but good atmosphere, very good value, and enough highs to make it enjoyable. I don't see Khoo joining my regular rotation, but a top 5 egg roll and a deep menu of wings, noodles, and Malaysian fare is worth a second look and periodic returns.

    This is a comfortable Asian restaurant with booth seating and a few tables in the bar area. They do a lot of take out here and when we entered the host asked 'how can we help you' instead of 'good evening', or even 'welcome' followed by 'dining in or take out?'. The menu has all the expected foods like sweet & sour, fried rice, crab rangoon, scallion pancakes and so on. They also have poke bowls, noodle bowls, sishi and sashimi. So choices. Their Khoo roll comes with a side of wasibi, pickled ginger and soy sauce is on the table. The waitress brought chop sticks for my roll. The table is set with a fork, knife and water goblet. This is a very casual restaurant. Be sure to ask for exactly what you want. A glass for your bottled beer, more water, whatever. Service was good and our waitress very nice. We paid by credit card and a 'customer copy' of the receipt was not included. So another thing to ask. Good amount of parking in their private lot. Restrooms at the back. Full bar.

    Back again- and the flavors did not disappoint. We came to taste the must tries - indicated on the menu. The Loh Bak was crispy with a juicy - meatball like- shrimp and pork ball in the middle. A def must try. The Chicken satay was juicy and spiced just right The noodle CKT had a different umami flavor that was addicting. It was similar to a lo men however the meat and noodles ate a little dry. The black pepper steak had a nice crisp but the meat was a bit tough. But overall the food was good. The service was good too - they were friendly and attentive. And the ambiance gives off a local spot feeling. If you haven't tried this place yet it is a good option with many items. Everything from Poke bowls to sushi to Chinese staples to Malaysian - u can't go wrong. The daily specials are also worth the visit - so come and try especially Mon- Wed 5.99 appetizers. I will def be back.

    Food was delicious. Beware the "Tips Suggestions" calculations at the bottom of the bill. Example 18% calculation is actually 22.5%. Just plain wrong...

    Khoo is always a solid choice for great Chinese food. Their General Tso chicken is easily the best around. It's crispy, flavorful, and a good chicken to breading ratio. We tried the salt and pepper edamame this time and it was surprisingly addicting. The drinks were strong, tasty, and well-made. Always a favorite when we're craving Chinese.

    Five Stars! An Absolute Gem in West Warwick! Khoo on Cowesett is hands-down one of the best spots I've had the pleasure of dining at in West Warwick! The beef teriyaki was absolutely delicious--perfectly cooked and unbelievably tender, with a savory sauce that struck the perfect balance of flavor without being overpowering. The crab Rangoon was a standout too--crispy in all the right places with a rich, buttery filling that nailed the crab and cream cheese combo like no other. And let's talk about the spareribs--so juicy and flavorful, and you can really tell they use high-quality meat. No chewy, fatty ribs here--just pure goodness. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. I'll definitely be coming back and recommending Khoo to anyone looking for top-notch Asian cuisine in the area! The Service was quick and pleasant and the atmosphere was friendly with a hometown feel we sat next to a large aquarium that filled my young ones with joy !

What a good movie! They served wonton chips with duck sauce, like chips and salsa. What a nice touch! I have never seen that before at an Asian restaurant. We ordered some general Tso's chicken and then one of sushi lunch specials, which came with two rolls and either a soup or salad. I chose the salad, which is like the ones you get at hibachi. It was drowning in that orange tangy sauce, but it was still good! The sushi was good, too. Not the best I have ever had, but still good. The whole meal was perhaps $25. That's crazy for the amount of food we got! Highly recommend.

I dined here on Christmas Day at the invitation of a relative who has eaten here a few times and swears by the clay pot dishes. The restaurant was very busy, busier than usual, I was told. We were seated quickly, which felt promising. That momentum did not continue. After we said we weren't quite ready to order since we had just sat down and a couple of us were new to the spot, we asked the server to return. She did, about 10 minutes later. From there, it became a series of waits. The appetizer arrived first, then one main dish was served, leaving the other two diners waiting another 12 minutes. Plenty of time to admire someone else's food. There were a few service hiccups. One water glass had a visible crack and took some persistent hand waving to replace. The soy sauce container was empty, and after more waving, I eventually stood up and borrowed one from a nearby empty table. Light cardio included. The dishes are pricier than average, which I'm generally fine with. The restaurant is clean, newer, and located on the outskirts of East Greenwich, which may explain the pricing. What disappointed me was my $26 eel hot pot (aka Unagi Kobayaki). While it tasted good, it consisted of four slivers of eel, yes, four, which we confirmed, a few avocado slices, and a lot of rice. For that price, it felt ambitious. I could have enjoyed a very nice sushi meal elsewhere for less. Ordering clay hot pots is not new to me. To be fair, one of my companions ordered the Boneless spare ribs hot pot and enjoyed it. That dish had noticeably more protein and felt far more balanced. In short, the food flavors are good, but the service struggled, perhaps due to the holiday rush. I may try this place again on a less busy day, but with several other options nearby, I do not yet see a strong competitive advantage.

Yesterday would have been my son Gianni's 25th birthday. We gathered 24 close family and friends to honor him at the hibachi restaurant where he last ate before his passing. This was not a casual dinner it was a deeply emotional and sentimental night. A month ago, we made a reservation and then called three separate times to confirm we would have a specific private room that held special meaning for us. Each time, we were assured the room was ours. When we arrived, the restaurant was nearly empty, yet management attempted to keep us out of the very room we had reserved. After multiple discussions with the assistant manager, they finally honored the reservation. Unfortunately, things only worsened from there. Our assigned waitress entered the room visibly angry. When we asked if the checks could be separated, she left and never returned. Our entire party had to go to the bar just to order drinks. While my husband was waiting, he overheard this waitress loudly belittling and degrading our table for several minutes to the point that the bartenders tried to get her attention to let her know he was standing there. Later, when I went to the restroom, she confronted me and sarcastically asked if "everything was finally to my liking." I calmly explained why we were there and the emotional significance of the night. She laughed, crossed her arms, and told me I had "drunk eyes." Those were not drunk eyes. Those were the eyes of a grieving mother who had just spent the day lying in her son's bed on what should have been his birthday. When I told her she should choose her words more carefully, police were called on me. This restaurant has benefited from my family's loyalty for years. I hosted a 50-person birthday party here in November that generated over $5,000 in business. My son dined here in September with a group of 21. Last night, we brought 24 guests. Many of our friends have been weekly patrons for over a decade. To be treated with such cruelty, disrespect, and hostility during such a vulnerable moment is beyond comprehension. Compassion costs nothing. Kindness costs nothing. Basic professionalism costs nothing. Last night, all three were absent
