Ordered takeout - found a metal staple in my food Quality was not good Kuos used to be good Food was bad and staple could have been dangerous read more

I can't believe it's taken me so long to write a review. We've been coming here for six months and the good and service has been great! I used to come here years ago (different owners) and it was so so. The new owners (the last four years) have made it my favorite place for Chinese food. The servings are huge and the food is always delicious. Their hot and sour soup is a must. I have hubby get it when I'm fighting a cold. It's that good. The prices are more than fair seeing we usually take a huge to go box full of food home. The take out business is busy and folks come in all through the dinner service to bring their food home. Just a great place to eat. read more

Kuo's Chinese Restaurant - B1. Beef with Broccoli - Chinese Near Me - Midland, Texas

We stopped here for a late dinner. The waitress was very polite and engaging. The decor was nest to look at from the fish tank to the special lighting and ceiling tiles. We were served fried wonton with sweet and sour sauce. We ordered the chicken dumplings for appetizer they were great. For main course we decided with the orange chicken and moo goo chicken one with steamed rice and one with fried rice. When the orange chicken came out it was served with jalapeños in it. We had never seen it this way. Needless to say we should of taken our waitress up on lessening the spice on this dish. While the flavor was good it was just too over thr top with the heat level. The moo goo was very good and we both enjoyed our rices. We did take to go boxes and for lunch the next day she did almost finish that orange chicken. The total came to $42.36 + tip read more

There's no service at all. Phone system blocks my calls so I can't call in order. Had no reason for phone service blocking number nor concerns. Im a 20year patron. I was trying to order in person but the clerk ignored me and attend to persons who came in after I was already there. So I walked out. No service at all. read more

So I ordered delivery thru Uber Eats for this meal because I was traveling, it had been almost 9 hours on the road and I had gotten my room and just could not bring myself to go back out to get food. I had no issues ordering, I got their special fried rice which had bbq pork. Chicken beef and shrimp, the smallest egg drop soup they offered which was a 16oz and an egg roll. It was about $29 total but ended up being $41 plus a tip for the driver so wow that's a lot to pay for some Chinese food in Midland Texas. But it's not all on the Restaurant. It came just as the app promised in 25-40 minutes I have no issues with that. I had request in the notes section a SPOON for the soup as I was in a hotel and had no utensils and I paid for extra beef in the rice as many reviewers said they had and it made it better. And I asked for extra soy sauce. So it came in a styrofoam clamshell container. Not stuffed in those little white Chinese Togo boxes with pictures of Chinese things in red on the sides... good! I like this better and it doesn't clump the rice! The soup container was a nice semi-clear container suitable for keeping if you wanted after. Oh and I also order wonton strips, apparently they don't automatically come with the soup here like they do at every single other Chinese place I've ever been to in my LIFE. And they weren't strips. They were cut into tortilla style triangles. Odd. But interesting. The rice was not good. It was over cooked. Or freshly cooked and had not had time to properly cool and then was stir fried and it just was sticking together. Or it's been sitting in a steam table all day and just over steamed. There were a few peas and carrots in it but the poor peas were shriveled up like your fingers after all day at the pool. The carrots were mush. There was plenty of beef but it was not nice little tender square pieces it was long stringy thin chewy cuts of I don't know what. The chicken was so tough you could not chew it. The BBQ Pork were chunks of what appeared to be pork loin chop chunks. They were hard like bullets. They were the typical red in one side of each square piece but honestly it added no flavor to that meat. There are just 3 large butterflied tail off and also WAY over cooked Shrimp in this combination fried rice. I was expecting a lot more than 3 for the price. I picked out the beef and the shrimp used the 2 squeeze packs of soy sauce the sent and really I trashed the rest of that rice. The soup... I never got a Spoon. They sent me 2 forks to eat with. Even after I specifically asked for one ‍. So I called down to the front desk and they had some plastic ones they have for Breakfast Service, so I went down and got one so I could eat. The soup was a good consistency but had a "powdery" weird feel to it on your tongue like something didn't completely dissolve. So that was off putting And I just only ate very little of it because it was just not appetizing. The egg roll was the HIGHLIGHT of the meal. It was a nice size, very crispy on the outside, a great balance of pork and cabbage etc inside. I devoured it. It came with a little cup of that red sweet and sour sauce, but it was not that nice thick sweet and sour you're used to at other places, this was completely watery. And had not much sweet or sour flavor. In fact it was like it had been the regular sweet and sour sauce and someone watered it down on purpose and ruined it. So I don't know, If you like egg rolls, maybe go here or maybe they do other dishes better but their meat cuts are bad, way over cooked or stop long on a steam table waiting to be ordered. and every thing I had was just not good. My fried rice was not freshly wok fried with fresh ingredients when ordered, this was evident. And it was a lot of money for really bad food. read more

So authentic and tasty. I love the large portions for the family dinner. I love going here. Very affordable and delicious food for the family and friends. Yummy read more

The low rating reflects old ownership. Great spot/updates/food. Reasonable prices and attentive service. Kid friendly.

we stumbled upon this place while in midland for business and ended up dining here for two nights in a row! The fried chicken dumplings were a highlight-don't miss them. The general Tso was also a hit. read more

With our friend's recommendation, we finally ordered a take out order in store. Food came out so quick which took like 10 mins for three entrees and appetizers. Food still tasted good and hot when we got home. Kids enjoyed their rice noodles and we loved our spicy general tso chicken! Definitely will be back and would love to dine in next time! read more

Kuo's Chinese Restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Midland, Texas

Chicken was old hard and half was so over cooked it was burnt. The sweet and sour sauce is completely watered down from what it used to be back before new owners this place is a no go! read more

Great food. Fried rice, sweet and sour chicken and pork, beef and broccoli... just a few of the family favorites that we enjoy when eating at Kuo's. read more

We drove by the city during our trip. Stopped here for a quick lunch, the lunch portion was so perfect for us even came with the hot and sour soup which was so tasty. We ordered the chicken with vegetables called Hunan chicken and garlic chicken. They were so good. Highly recommended! read more

Good food quick service . Lot of choices Clean quiet dining room. Really liked the tofu. Can not find tofu with flavor at Romany restaurants read more

We came for a late dinner last night around 8:45 and everything was so great. We ordered their fried chicken dumplings which was delicious. For the entrees, we had Triple Delight and chicken fried rice. Very tasty and good portion. The guy who helped us was very polite and patient. They had the food out very quick as well. Overall, we had a great time here. read more

An absolutely delightful experience every time I have been in. Beautiful decorations and delicious food. They offer takeaway as well as dine in. The beef curry extra spicy is wonderful read more

Ordered orange chicken and it was completely hard and inedible. The rice and hot and sour soup had no flavor.

Amazing food! Friendly staff! My husband is a picky eater and they were willing to personalize his meal. Very fair pricing for quality and amount of food. read more

Once an absolute favorite but just not the same- no chicken chow mein on the menu anymore so opted for an alternative. The texture of the chicken in my meal was chewy and the carrots a little too al dente for me. Otherwise hot and fresh. Only one girl was the hostess/waitstaff. Unlikely to return. read more

Not impressed, the shrimp and broccoli was in a white sauce rather than a dark sauce that I'm normally used to. They also didn't have duck sauce and the food was nothing spectacular. The broccoli was bland and instead of an egg roll i got a star cracker of some sort. Also the meal was very expensive for the lack of flavor. Not sure I'll be returning. read more

One word: AVOID Since it's changed owners it's not as good as it used to be. Pretty gross in fact. There was minimal beef on the beef with bell pepper and onion and the pieces weren't rich and flavorful like they used to be. Don't expect the old kuo's, the one you grew up going to, because this isn't it! read more

Hello guys . My very first time here at Kuo's .I would not even give a one star . Anywho young lady that works in the front , fails to give me her name. This lady I guess was very upset because she had to repeat her self to me , due to me not understanding her again she only repeated her self twice, lady is bananas again first time here and can't even greet me . Food is good though. read more

It's always packed here at lunch. I don't know why, the food is not that great. I guess, I'm always comparing all asian foods I've had in California. Their lunch specials are decent priced. Other than that regular plates like Generals Chicken 8.50?? I couldn't even substitute the sweet and sour chicken for general chicken on the lunch special. Fried rice was gross...nothing in it. I dunno whats up with the chinese style fried rice here, but I swear all the wait staff and cooks were chineseso you would think they would know how to make fried rice?! read more

What the hell happened to this place? I heard new ownership, but definitely not the Kuo's I remember and loved. Too much breading on signature dishes and just an overall underwhelming experience. Very disappointed, change back or go away. read more

I genuinely cannot understand why Kuos has bad reviews. Perhaps they have gone through some chef changes at times being they have been open FOREVER. But as a huge fan of "american chinese" food. This is currently the BEST we have in the area. The staff is super sweet and my food has always been hot, fresh, and delicious. It's very affordable as well. I would make a plate recommendation but I have literally never ordered anything here that was bad. Not ever. read more

The rudest, least accommodating place I have ever seen. First off, the waitress/hostess made me along with 3 other parties wait approximately 15 minutes and never even acknowledged us. Once another lady finally acknowledged us, I placed an order totaling over $111 and ask the lady if I can have a seat at a table while I waited. She said oh yes, of course so I sat down at a table in the back where there were no customers to wait, the original waitress who never even acknowledged us, came up to me and asked me if I was eating in the restaurant to which I replied no. She said if you don't eat here, you don't sit here at the tables you need to go wait out front or outside She was extremely rude to me. At that time another girl came up and told me that they were out of one of the dishes that I ordered. At that point, I told her, and the original waitress/hostess, that they could simply cancel the order, and I would never eat there or order from there again simply because of her rudeness. I proceeded to go to another restaurant and gladly spent $137. The waitress there was so nice and accommodating and we will return there. But we will never order from Kuo's Chinese food again. I recommend you do the same. read more

Ordered last week. Food is not the same. Meat had some weird stuff, texture was nasty. The rice was awful. Sadly it was a big disappointment. read more

I dont really have much to say except that I came and ate here a while ago and the service was great but I found a staple in my food. That's all A staple in my food. Not going back and don't recommend. read more

Ordered food this evening for pick up .... service was quick .... the food was all there. It's "okay" ..... what disappoints me is this .... we ordered food for 5 people .... 3 dinners, 2 egg rolls and 3 large containers of egg drop soup. I specifically asked for "lots" of soy sauce and hot mustard. There are two packets of soy sauce and one tiny container of hot mustard. I even asked before I left .... "there's plenty of soy sauce and hot mustard, correct?" Yes. "And spoons for the soup, correct?" Yes. ....... umm no no no and no. So I ended up having to go to the HEB grocery store across the street from my hotel while my food got cold. I don't get it. It's not rocket science. That's like giving someone 2 packs of ketchup when they ordered 7 happy meals. Duh. read more

Do not, DO NOT come eat here if you have eating restrictions!! My mother has celiac disease and the menu didn't state that the protein was breaded. When we asked the waitress if the plate was gluten free, she said yes. When the plate arrived we noticed the breading and asked her if it was flour and she again said yes, when we told her my mother couldn't have it she just walked away offering no solutions. read more

Second time coming to this joint today.... once again I'm disappointed. The first time I came for lunch, I met my wife & according to the sign there were only offering carryout due to lack of staffing. BUMMER... Today, yet again, another sign that reads, "Closed for vacation July 15-October1". How can a business, especially food industry, close for 2.5 months & expect to stay afloat? Weird... Maybe next time read more

With access from Wadley or Midkiff, If You love Chinese takeout, this is definitely your spot!! Everything on the menu is delightful. The food is always fresh and hot!! Not greasy of soggy like some places experienced. Portions are appetizing, generous, and filling... Phone ordering is easy and convenient. No dine in service at present so prepare the living room for great food that will become a staple on your weekly menu!!! read more

My absolute favorite Asian food in midland/Odessa area. SOOO good. Food is in large portions and affordable, service is polite and prompt. Place is always clean. Been going here for over 10 years and I have never had a bad experience and it is still my favorite place. Delicious vegan options as well!! read more

the wait st aff here are super nice but I have to say the food was really limited and kinda on a sweet side. I wish they don't close at 14:15 on the weekends because I felt like in a rush :( read more

Worst Chinese food in Midland since the change on ownership. They would not cook something that was not on the menu that the previous owners always made for us. The shrimp and broccoli and beef and broccoli did not have any sauce. the mu shi was bland, with an odd flavor. the price was high and the quality was low. Don't waste your money. Terrible food. read more

First time to Midland and this place was suggested. The food was alright. It wasn't bad by any means, but it also wasn't spectacular. It was definitely a little expensive for what you get, but that may be the market here. Our server was terrible. He was very short with us and acted annoyed when he brought the wrong drinks to our table. He was not polite and very brash when he did speak. I was glad he didn't come refill my drink because he was not fun to be around. Next time I am back in Midland, I will not visit this restaurant. read more

If you're looking for good quality American/Chinese food. This is the place. Reasonably priced good service and fairly fast. Had sesame chicken, coconut chicken & fried wantons. All were very good. read more

The food here had good, rich flavor. I had Kung Pao chicken and it was spicy without being overwhelming. There was a good quantity of food; enough to save some to eat later, and the lunch special prices were very good. Also had some cream cheese won tons and an egg roll and they were quite good too. I enjoyed the egg drop soup as well. The service was good except the waitress did not check on us quite enough, we kind of had to wait a while for the ticket and some drink refills. read more

We ordered DoorDash delivery on Mother's Day and i was severely disappointed. We ordered spring rolls, pork bbq, chicken fried rice, human chicken, and lo mein. The hunan chicken had a raw piece of chicken and none of the food had any flavor. I've never had to add packet after packet of soy sauce to Chinese food in my life. It was packed in styrofoam partitioned containers and everything was cold....weirdest Chinese I've ever gotten. read more

I wish I didn't have to put a star. I spit out raw chicken into my napkin, and asked for the check so I could leave. The other meal my someone at my table got was basically a fried chicken nugget with sauce on it and bell peppers and onions that were still wet with condensation and were not cooked at all. For health reasons alone do not come here. Unbelievable they have as many stars as they do. read more

OMG! I have to agree with Dean T. their food is terribly bland! Ugh! Now my boyfriend can't stand the King and I so he wanted to try something new. He ordered the lemon chicken and i got the beef and broccoli which is the same thing I get at King and I. Now, I will say that the portion size is much bigger compared to the King and I but the beef was just tasteless. I couldn't eat it all it tasted so bad. I will not be going here again. Once is enough! The king and I is much better! read more
