Good, Fresh Chinese Food

by Hofner at Citysearch

I have been a customer of Kwang Chow since 1985, having previously enjoyed Lani Louie's and Canton Grill. In my opinion, I have never had better Chinese food than that served at Kwang Chow. Its quality is consistently fresh, hot and flavorful, the portions are always more than adequate, and the service is always friendly. My preference is the Daily Special, something I get to-go - it feeds two, in our case.

The restaurant itself lacks any real identity or ambience - it is a bit on the gloomy side; and the booths are in desperate need of re-padding - at 6'3", I am just short of being at eye level with the table! I don't know where they put their profits, but it is not in the decor.

Decor aside, the food is what is important, and they do it right at Kwang Chow.

• Pros: Food is fresh, flavorful
• Cons: Restaurant atmosphere is gloomy

Favorite Family Restaurant

by feisty02 at Citysearch

I don't remember the first time I walked into the Kwang Chow Restaurant because I think my mom was pregnant with me. My family has been going there for years. My grandpa loved it because he could smoke and eat at the same time (although not everyone in the family enjoyed this). My parents loved it cause they could get a family dinner for a lower price. When I was about 10 or 12 years old, they use to let me go into the back and get an extra fortune cookie and an RC. Now that I am grown up, I can walk in there and they know my name, ask how my family is doing and the service is always excellent! I took my fiance in there for the first time and he is stuck. He loves it! Definitely one of these BEST Chinese food restaurants around!

• Pros: Food, Service and Price
• Cons: Smoking Area, Worn down, smaller
