Gourmet Kingdom
Worked at this place for a year, and coming back to visit every now and then. The food is phenomenal: perfect blend of salt, peppers and spices; you just need to know what to get, because some dishes might be too spicy for American taste. I got to know the chef personally, he is a true master of his craft. Definitely a great place for some wild Asian food!
I'm writing this review while sitting at a table, alone, in Gourmet Kingdom. It's noon on a Thursday, and I'm the only customer in the whole restaurant... That's a shame because the food is excellent, and I'm eating some of the best General Tso's Chicken I've ever had... I'll definitely be coming back. I just hope this place gets enough business to stay open. With food this good, the place should be packed!
Jade Palace Restaurant
Authentic Chinese food that reminds me of home. The owner is very nice and has supported our sorority’s charity ball many times. They have been renovating and only offering takeout and delivery. If you are looking for some authentic Chinese food, I recommend ordering the dishes with Chinese name on the menu.
Food was good but can tell it has been…adjusted for the local demographic’s palette. Ordered wonton soup, only 3 wontons and no filling? That was a first. The wonton itself was very thick instead of delicate and bursting with filling. Twice cooked pork was delicious but I was hoping for a bit more heat. The cabbage and mushroom was good, sauce is on the sweeter side.
Hong Kong Chinese Restaurant
They let their delivery truck drivers park in the strip mall parking lot blocking multiple people from leaving instead of using the loading area in the back like any other business. I just needed to run a quick errand and these jerks had me blocked in for over 15 minutes and didn't seem to care. I'm now late for my upcoming appointment
Hong Kong Chinese makes a great place to grab take out. The General tao’s chicken it’s pretty good. The restaurant itself is clean and the staff is nice. I would recommend this restaurants anybody in town.
China Wok
Some awesome food! I got the general tso chicken and man, it was amazing. The broccoli and rice was perfect. The eggroll was awesome as well! I took a break from my jobsite to come eat and I am very glad I did. The only thing I could find wrong is the size of the plate. It was over filling. They need bigger plates. I will certainly be back if I’m working in the area.
Kung Pao chicken without cashews is a joke! Went here for a quick lunch because it seems to be the only acceptable (and fast) place to eat in Carrboro Plaza. NC people would know that there's always a Chinese fast food place like this close to a Food Lion, and this is one of the many, so my expectations were not big. I ordered the Combination meal with Kung Pao Chicken, pork fried rice, and egg roll. Also ordered a small hot & sour soup & a bottle of diet Coke. Young lady cashier was friendly and took order without issue. I usually order take out when it comes to Wok spots like this but decided to dine in. Order was served within 10 minutes - another employee brought my soup with the flour crackers that go with the soup. As you can see in the photo, the size of Kung Pao meal is fine for a $12+ meal. The mixture of vegetables (broccoli, carrots, snow peas, and green bell peppers) bury some of the chicken pieces underneath, giving me an impression that chicken meat was not enough. As I ate, I discovered that there's a fair amount of thin sliced chicken breasts. Most of the chicken pieces (maybe 5 or 6) were sliced thin but wide - I wanted to slice it to make it fit the spoon with the pork fried rice, which id finely cooked. Somewhat surprisingly, the chicken tasted tofu-like rather than what you'd expect from a well-cooked white meat chicken. I set the few snow peas aside - they don't go well with the entire meal. I realized something seems to be missing. Any Kung Pao chicken lover would know that the perfect Kung Pao chicken always have cashews (or roasted peanuts) but China Wok's version is missing this essential ingredient that gives that extra crunch to the meal. The space inside is about average compared to other Chinese Wok spots in NC. There's a good amount of parking space shared between various businesses there. There's a standard soda machine and sweet tea but got a Diet Coke bottle instead. The hot & sour soup is the same as what you'd expect from a typical Chinese restaurant. Amount is good for a small size. The eggroll is quite bland: Although there are bits of pork inside, the chewy, flavorless texture made me ask, "What in the world am I eating?" Also tried their General Tso in a previous visit, and the chicken meat quality was a bit better that the Kung Pap chicken but tasted like it was more flour than chicken. If you want fast and cheap Chinese food in Carrboro, China Wok is still a convenient option. Although there are a few other Chinese spots nearby (more towards the downtown area), it's still a blessing for a boring shopping center. But if you're looking for a decent Chinese restaurant that serves quality food, this is clearly not it.
