This is our favorite Chinese take out restaurant in Winston-Salem! It's bot unlike thousands of Chinese take out places across America. But, the food is amazing! The restaurant is named for Kowloon island, across the bay from the city of Hong Kong. Like most, the menu is extensive with dozens of chicken, beef, and pork dishes. Each is accompanied by fried rice, white rice, or a variety of noodle sides. We like General Tso's chicken, a sweet and spicy sauce over bitesized chunks of fried chicken breasts. At Kowloon, this dish (and others) is cooked to order in a giant, very hot wok. The dinner portion is certainly enough chicken for two. We order a side of pork fried rice and share it. The dish includes some small broccoli florets. The dish also comes with an egg roll. We order an extra one. To start our meal, we ordered a quart of Hot & Sour soup. Just the right kick, fresh mushrooms, bamboo shoots, chunks of tofu, and chicken broth. Served with crispy Chinese noodles. It is really good. I've been eating at Kowloon for 30 years. Never had a bad meal. We go back often. read more

Mixed feelings about this establishment. Pros: food tastes good and is prepared quickly... Cons: while food tastes good they use excessive oil to keep food from sticking to wok! If you ask for less oil they say they can't use less and suggest you get steamed selections. I believe this is not true and rather lazy of their chefs. Also, the prices on their menus is not the correct price, many items cost more. Evidently they ordered too many menus and are trying to use them up before ordering new menus with correct prices. Prices are off by 10/15/or 20+%... They don't mention it before you order. read more

Food was great for the price. Portion sizes were great . Nice large egg rolls and flavorful crab rangoons. The sesame chicken and general had plenty of flavor and the rice was pretty good. read more

This place has a dozen or so laminated booths, but this is primarily a take out spot. They offer the standard Chinese American dishes, and they list 27 lunch special with either fried or white rice included. I went with Mongolian Beef and Spicy Beef along with an Egg Roll. The egg roll was quite nice, especially when a liberal amount of hot mustard is applied. The Spicy Beef was nice and spicy, though there were more vegetables than beef by a large amount. The Mongolian Beef was not at all bad, though a bit more heat would have been nice. All in all, this was average Chinese American fare - there are better choices out there.

Food was awesome. I've been going there the past few months and I love it. Service is good, consistent and friendly. The ambiance is pretty chill tbh, it's right by the Harris teeter, generally a laidback area. read more

Never had a bad thing, egg rolls are great :) Friendly staff And always on time! I do keep forgetting they leave forks out for you to grab but it's there! read more

Very hard to understand the person at the counter. I ordered chicken chow mein. It was blah and uninteresting. Will not bother with this place again. read more

If I could do zero stars I would.. The lady cook, owner was rude as all get out.. I first asked if the lobster sauce was white or brown. Born and raised up north it's brown not white snot, she was rude answering that question. Also I asked if the crab egg foo young was real crab meat or imitation . She lied and said real, I ordered and later discovered it was imitation.. now to my order ... I placed a large order for my party of 6.. about $80 worth. I literally ordered on the fly, just scrolling down the menu. Once my order was done the guy at the register who was nice told me to come get my bag. He handed it me the bag and the lady snatched it out of my hand and yelled "what did you order?! " I said I can't remember all because it was a large order. I said a couple items and she kept yelling "what you order ?!" I then said maybe you should have given me a copy of my receipt or an order number so that YOU could keep track of what people ordered. As I'm walking out she's reprimanded the cashier for the lack of her placing a system that works... it was my first time there and it will be my last Also the food was mediocre at best. read more

Typical Chinese Restaurant with items like Teriyaki Chicken, Fried Wontons, Egg Drop Soup, Chow Mein, etc. There is a variety of vegetarian options also! I typically get chinese food to go, which is what I did today. Prices are affordable and make sure to ask for extra sauce! The staff has always been friendly in my experience. It can be hard to find, it's tucked away in the corner next to Harris Teeter. read more

Kowloon Chinese Restaurant - Sometimes hard to miss, Kowloon is in the very corner of the shopping center. - Chinese Near Me - Winston Salem, North Carolina

The food was great! We ordered Singapore noodles, low main and empire chicken for dinner. We also asked them to go easy on the grease and they delivered! It is a typical Chinese American restaurant and primarily a take out joint. Definitely recommend this place. read more

Kowloon is your typical American Chinese take out place. Dishes are familiar and portion sizes are good. Food is always ready quick and hot. If you're craving Chinese take out then this is the best in the area. read more

I actually stopped in spur of the moment... I had to run into Harris Teeter and on my way out, this little Chinese restaurant caught my eye and I thought I'd give it a try. I ordered a lunch special of Sesame Chicken and fried rice and then added a Qt. of wanton soup. The wait time was under 10 minutes! The food was excellent and the portion size was HUGE! I ate as much as I could of the chicken and rice and it looked like I barely touched it! The santons were good though, the broth completely lacked flavor. It was almost like plain water. There were enough leftovers for another whole meal!! Price wise- for the lunch special and added soup, UNDER $8! Not bad!!! I'd come again if in the area. read more

Great hole in the wall Chinese food! Always made fresh to order. General Tso chicken and crab Rangoons are my go To. read more

Been coming to Kowloon for as long as I can remember. The food is decent and The service used to be good. The boy at the front counter has no people skills whatsoever. When I came in I got no welcome just a death stare from the kid. I got no thank you either for my business when I left. read more

Food is ok. Service is really bad not nice at all I will never go back there and I will tell everyone that I know. Ambiance is not right at all. read more

Consistently one of the best Americanized Chinese take-out places in the city. Get their kung pao chicken and thank me later. It's different from other places with lightly fried chicken and this sweet/savory/spicy sauce with vegetables. Prices are decent, service is friendly, and most importantly the food is pretty good. read more

Great food! Fantastic Service. Lunch menu is very economical (can make 2 meals out of it)

This place is nasty. The cashier/ cook was making some type of Raw beef Wonton on the counter. When I came in she was trying to take my order and my cash without washing her hands. I told her to wash her hand because that's how disease spread. She got offended and wash her hand in a bucket of water that was disgusting. If you don't want to get sick be careful when You eat here. read more

Ah yes, my local haunt for greasy Chinese goodness. Look, it's American Chinese food. Nothing fancy, nothing particularly healthy, but it IS tasty. And FAST! My only complaint is that they don't deliver except to the Medical Center nearby, but my lazy butt can use the exercise to go pick it up anyway. If you're in the area (or even just shopping at the Harris Teeter next door) and you're hankering for some good Chinese, drop in and place an order. It'll be done in 10 minutes. Also try their crab rangoon, it's really good!! read more

This place is the cricket's pickets! If you don't like the kloverdale kow you should leave winston forever.

During the month of August 2010, They received a high 70's inspection. One of the major notes was that the restuarant was using a piece of wood with nails in it to turn the chicken. Also bugs were found in the restaurant. I cant verify the food quality, After I read that, I will never eat there again. Even if you clean it up and stop using the homemade chicken turner, that is just common sense. read more

Oof, no thank you.. Cons: -No delivery unless you are at the medical center -Super greasy and 3/4 of my plate was rice -I got disposable chopsticks that were partially rotten -Loaded with MSG or some other substance that makes you thirsty for hours on end Pros: -$4.95 lunch specials. Cheap, I guess? -They were nice on the phone when Google Maps led me astray As you can probably tell, I don't like Chinese takeouts in general, but this place didn't help. read more

Perfect Americanized, Greasy Chinese food. Family owned and run by the same friendly family for many years. The sanitation scores are a little concering, especially the review from Jonathan A. about the homemade chicken tuner. A quick glimpse at ther sanitation scores show that they have indeed improved their scores, but consistently fail to properly sanitize and protect food from contamination. Caveat emptor. You take the good with the bad. read more

This is your typical strip mall chinese joint. Shady, cheap tables, and grab your condiment restaurant. They do have the best Hot & Sour soup in town. Everything is greasy, but what do you expect. read more

Kowloon Chinese Restaurant - Sesame chicken with pork fried rice (egg roll not pictured) - Chinese Near Me - Winston Salem, North Carolina

Chinese food in 5-10 minutes? Done! It's basically ready after you hang up the phone. This is your basic take-out group, so anticipate greasy and unhealthy fast food, but if you're into that sort of thing, it's quite good. You've probably had this type of food before in which you ask yourself "why did I...?" when you finish but while you're having it, thumbs up. Afterwards? That's a different story. Standard menu... but your safest bet is the veggie / chicken with broccoli or general gau. Don't eat here unless you are hopelessly lost and desperate. Just take it home. Parking is easy and staff is very friendly. read more

Average Chinese would be an achievement for this spot! The location screams great Chinese in a small corner storefront in a nicer aged strip building. However, after a couple of visits, be forewarned that it just lacks a lot! No distinguishing features with any of their dishes to bring you back a third time! read more

Hubby and I enjoy Kowloon very much! We usually get the same thing, crab rangoon, sesame chicken and veggie lo mein, which is yummy! The food is always consistent in taste and the wait time is nothing, maybe 15min max. read more

Their food is consistently great! Well, I usually get the triple delight, but my family's food always looks good too. The vegetables are always crisp and the food always has plenty of sauce, unlike the dry stuff I sometimes get from other places. read more

This place is not worth your time or money. First of all the service leaves something to be desired. When I started giving my order, the cashier cut me off to say "I can't hear you. What do you want to order?" There was no measure of courtesy. Words like please and I'm sorry were not part of her vocabulary. I was wearing a mask so I understand she might need me to repeat but the manner she expressed it was rude. After I gave my order and sat down the only other customer waiting had overheard and volunteered that his experience with her was not good either. I was hoping I was going to beat the lunch crowd since I got there at 11:30 but I still had to wait about 30 minutes for my food. Then when I got home I discovered it was not even good. I had ordered two lunch entrees and the entree itself wasn't bad but the fried rice had absolutely no flavor. No, don't waste your time. read more

Solid choice for Chinese takeout. This is one of those places where you probably just can't go wrong. The menu is totally clear as far as various options and meals go, but they have a good selection and good food. It's definitely evolving into a go-to spot for me. read more

Doesn't taste like it used to. I tried it tonight just to see if anything has changed. No still isn't good. They even forgot my egg roll I asked for. I will stick to Mr Lu's chinese. read more

This is the best take-out chinese in Winston. It doesn't look nice but staff is extremely friendly and have not found better tasting chinese in town yet. read more

Ate there today (7/14/18) and noticed the new people working there. Haven't been there as often in the past 3 months, and asked if they had changed ownership and lady said yes, a few months ago. I got egg drop soup, which I had ordered thru the years, and within 10 minutes of leaving, I had a VERY upset stomach in Harris Teeter while grocery shopping. I am home with continuing upset stomach. Will throw the rest out, don't know if it has been sitting too long, or not cooled and reheated properly, but can't do this. The lady wasn't very friendly, so I won't be going back. read more

Let me just be up front, there is NO good Chinese restaurants in Winston-Salem. This place deserves a 3 star for many reasons. I will attempt to list them below as I have gotten to known the owner pretty well: 1. I come here mainly for their vegetable chow fun. I like them because the owners are a Cantonese family, they also cook their food themselves, and they tend to capture the essence of authentic Cantonese flavor quite well. I would say as far as authenticity goes, this restaurant and Malay are the only two that even comes close in Winston. 2. I have been going to this restaurant for 2.5 years, it seems like for the past year or so, their portion has drastically cut back. This is a disappointment. 3. The first time I came here, my rice noodle was served in a plastic container with a cracked lid, this made me pretty angry. I don't recall but there could have also been a piece of debris in my food. 4. They never bothered to fix the sign of their restaurant, half of the lighting was off for the past year. read more

I've only been to three Chinese places here in Winston, but they're pretty difficult to compare. I ordered the beef and broccoli and felt that there was a bit too much broccoli and not enough beef. It was quite greasy, but it was prepared quite quickly and was very affordable. Dinner for two for $9! There are also places to sit, and is located in a great plaza with a Harris Teeter and Dollar Tree. The rice's texture is a bit mushy but it wasn't bad... just different. I'd give it a try. read more

Great chinese take-out. The owners are very friendly and always there cooking great food. Absolutely love their tofu and bok choy. I recommend this to anyone looking for a good take-out place. read more

We only ate here because Cloverdale Kitchen was closed. Food is no different than any other typical chinese takeout.

Great price! Best local Chinese takeout I've found! I love the General Tao's and Sweet and Sour Chicken!
