Great atmosphere when you enter inside. It has a charming warm feel to it. Nice lighting and design to the place. The server was very polite and attentive. We ordered the braised pork and shrimp fried rice. They are known for their house special dumplings.
Kirin Noodle House is a fantastic spot for anyone craving some comforting, delicious Chinese food. Their braised beef noodle is truly the star of the menu—tender, flavorful, and perfectly cooked every time. The broth it comes in is rich and savory, making it hard to stop eating even when you’re full. The noodles have a great texture and soak up all the flavor of the beef and broth, which is just amazing. Overall, it’s a cozy, no-frills place with friendly service and food that hits the spot.
Great new spot! I ordered the 担担面 (Dan Dan noodles), 盐水鸭 (salted duck), and 三鲜饺子 (three-flavor dumplings). Both the handmade noodles and dumplings were perfectly textured. The salted duck was tender and just the right level of salty. Cozy atmosphere and friendly staff. Highly recommend!
Was the first time trying this place, I love the food in the surrounding shopping center! I ordered the braised pork rice bowl and it was absolutely delicious! The chili oil is very good to pair with the dishes, and vinegar and soy sauce are provided as well. If you’re in the surrounding area, I highly recommend trying this
Very authentic food and excellent service! Everything we tried was fresh and delicious, and we were pleasantly surprised by the generous portion. Nothings beats leftover Chinese food for lunch the following day! Will definitely be back to try more dishes.
