Kai's

I love this restaurant, the good is great and reminds me of the takeout Chinese I grew up with in NYC. Side note: their current credit card discharge notice/policy is completely illegal, to the tune of $500 per violation reported. So far hasn't bothered me, but someone is going to report the restaurant to the local government sooner or later.

The food is good, but to order they recently started charging service fee plus mandatory high tip. For takeout! The $14 order I nearly placed came to $23. So no, not this time!!!

Good food. Gluten aware. Nice menu selection of Chinese including Thai food. We got Thai food which was very flavorful. Price isn’t cheaper compared to other Chinese American take outs but you can get reasonably priced lunch specials. There are a couple booths and two or three two people tables in a no bells and whistles eating area. It is a busy place and despite that staff is very helpful. They are aware of which food has gluten/Wheat and nuts. Nut substitutions are extra. We’ll be back to try more!

TLDR; if you like salty food and you're not picky about Chinese food, give it a try. Staff is attentive for a take out place and friendly. The son/grandson is adorable and a delight. They definitely do mostly takeout as there are only two booths available. There is a restroom, though we did not use it. The food was OK. Relatively standard American Chinese takeout; IYKYK the distinction. The main issue is that everything meant to be savory is too salty. You lose the flavors of the beef, oyster sauce, hoisin, umami etc. in all the salt. So if you like salty food, this place is good for you. The beef we ordered was velveted nicely. Perhaps a tad too long, but still better than undervelveted. It's too bad the flavor of the beef and sauce was lost in the salt. The General Tso's chicken sauce is excellent, and the crunch on the freshly fried breading was good (we ate in, so it didn't sit). However, this was overshadowed by the quality of the fried chicken as it was mostly breading on a lot of the pieces. I wasn't expecting deep fried dumplings but they were OK. The dim sum (siumai) was better, though also very salty. We did not end up liking the szechuan dumplings at all. They seemed undercooked and weirdly mushy, and served with too much salty peanut sauce that drowned out any flavor the dumpling filling would've had.

We got take out and everything was amazing! Very classic tasting Chinese food, has a huge menu, food was ready in just 20 minutes and we ordered $70 worth of stuff to have leftovers for a few days. On the plate you’ll see general Tao’s chicken, pork fried rice, veggie lo mein, bourbon chicken, beef and broccoli, etc. we got the wonton soup and egg rolls as well. Fresh and Delicious!!!
