    Kung pao plate

    Don't waste your money here $20 for this little bit of food, I got some plain noodles w no flavor at all and smalls portions of protein. The food is so mid, go expend your money wisely elsewhere trust me.

    Wonton Soup (L)
    Yuan Z.

    It's a gloomy day which is perfect for a hot bowl of wonton soup! Called in and got the orders ready and waiting for me in less than 10min! Good portions with four pieces of shrimp, a few pieces of chicken chunks, and vegetables mix ( carrots slices, Chinese cabbage, bamboo shoots, chest nuts, and snow peas). I was surprised to find the wontons were with chicken filings which is different from what I am used to: most wontons are with pork fillings. I guess this would be a good option for the non-pork crowd. I have tried their noodle dishes and did catering with the them before with satisfaction.

    Walnut Shrimp(Full)

    Went here with mom and my partner for a quick, spur of the moment dinner stop. Super friendly staff, nice atmosphere, and yummy food. We had chicken fried rice, orange chicken, and some walnut shrimp. The walnut shrimp was really good!!!! Totally a do-over! We liked this place and will come back. Nothing too fancy, but solidly good.

    Kung Pao chicken bowl

    Stopped in here just to try their Kung Pao chicken. I've generally been disappointed with most Chinese restaurants that have stopped making this dish the way I remember /like it. Usually too few peanuts and smothered with runny sauce and very little chicken. Not the case here. Order the bowl and it will be very satisfying. An added bonus is the salted pepper chicken wings. Those were delicious! But if you order them don't get them to go as they won't be as crisp by the time you eat them.

    The location is good since im living 5 minutes in this beautiful small restaurant the food is good the server are super nice hope we can support a small business like this thank you!!!!

    Kung Pao 4 Delight
    Eddie C.

    Place was nice. Unfortunately empty at the time I went but I can't complain since the food came out fast and the service was good. Service: the staff was nice and friendly. Making sure my water cup was full and checking on me if I needed anything. Ambience is good. Looks like they revamped the place compared to the older pictures. I should have taken some of the menus as well but I didn't know how long ago other people took pictures of the place. Good was great. I had the Kung pao 4 delight. Chicken, beef, shrimp, scallops. All the proteins were really tender and the chills had a great kick to them. Overall: I had a pleasant experience. Luckily I don't work too far from the place. I will be back to visit again

    We decided to stop in for dinner while in the area since we've heard nothing but good things about this place. Upon arrival I noticed the place was pretty empty but decided to try it anyway. The restaurant is quaint with a spacious dining area and staff were very polite, friendly, and attentive. We didn't dine in since we had our dog so just got take out. Their dinner menu selections is a la cart family style with various kung pao bowls where you can choose a protein. I had the 4 delight bowl that came with chicken, shrimp, beef, and scallops. It also had scallions, peanuts on a bed of white rice. My wife ordered the chicken bowl, she wanted it hot and spicy with white rice. I was disappointed with my meal, it lacked flavor and the rice was mushy. It wasn't what I expected since people we know dine here all the time but come for lunch where they have specials. The protein was doused in a sauce that just wasn't tasty. The food totally under succeeded our expectations. We should have just went to Panda Express that's around the corner. Sorry not sorry!!

    3 delight bowl.
    Krissy R.

    I really like the 3 delight bowl here even though it is not the same as it was before. I think they use basmati rice now instead of jasmine and the texture is just not as ideal. It consists of steamed or fried rice and chicken, beef, plus shrimp smothered in a delightful brown sauce. The components come together well to please your palate. You can get it with or without peanuts and green onion. Also, you can adjust the spice to it. They were more generous with the meat under the old management but it's still worth the drive on my lunch break now and then to grab a to go of this particular dish. The lunch special includes a eggflower soup that is better than other places, this restaurant has stood the test of time.

    Kung pao, orange chicken and lemon chicken
    Joe M.

    This place never disappoints. Kung pao and orange chicken are a must here. Alice is the best server here but all other servers provide A+ servers as well. Customer service is the best I've experienced in all of the city of Norwalk.

    Garlic chicken-with peppers and mishrooms
    Melissa S.

    In the shopping center across the street from the AMC 20 Theaters and the courthouse.A very spacious restaurant. Freshly painted and the bathrooms are being remodeled. The menus is vast. I got the lunch special. It comes with soup, fried or plain rice and a choice of entree for $11.95 or for a different options for $12.95. There is enough food for 2 meals. I got the garlic chicken. It was really good. We arrived at few minutes before noon and at noon people started pouring in. I recommend this place.

    Do you guys cater? If yes, can you please post your pricing? Thanks.

    Hi Ivy, yes we do cater, but for some reason i never got to putting out a catering menu. A mistake on my part. I’ll will post one up after this holiday weekend. Thank you for asking and as a reminder for me.

    Hello, Do you have contact info to the original owner John Lin & May Lin? Thanks!

    My husband also wanted to find previous colleagues John Lin, we just found out he opened a kung pao bowl in Huntington Beach.

    I ordered the Thai Boat Noodle and my husband got the Noodle King special. Honestly, it's basically…read morethe same broth, the king version just loads it up with brisket, tendon, tripe, and meatballs, so think of it as a fully stacked boat noodle. The broth is the star here. It's rich, flavorful, slightly sweet with a tangy kick, pretty sure there's some tangerine going on in there. Just a heads up, even "mild spicy level" has a noticeable heat, so if you're sensitive to spice, don't try to be brave... go no spice. The meats were surprisingly good, tender, not chewy, which is where a lot of places mess up. Noodles came out hot, no complaints there. We also got mango sticky rice and this is where they really sealed the deal. Mango was perfectly in season, juicy, sweet, not that sad sour off-season stuff. Sticky rice was soft and actually tasted like it was made fresh, not reheated from yesterday. Waitress was attentive and nice. Place itself is small, clean, modern, very mom-and-pop but done right, not rundown. I will definitely come back.

    Ordered from here via third party app…read more Papaya Salad: it was okay. It came with pieces of cabbage (as opposed to wedges I normally get from other Thai places). I like how's there's more dressing as you get the taste of it in every bite. The dressing however was a little too fish forward for me and you don't get much acid. IMO, the fish sauce and lemon (acid) should balance each other out. They use big tomatoes cut into wedges (as opposed to cherry tomatoes which I normally have at other Thai restaurants), And they give a good amount of food. Chow Mein: my boyfriend ate this. He said it was okay. It looked pretty good to me. Thai ice tea: I ordered this with boba. And as I was drinking it, I don't know what was in it but it definitely was not boba. It was orange with a chewy texture. I checked the receipt and it clearly says BOBA.
