Best Food in town

by RangerFerg at Citysearch

Since finding Kwang Chow, my wife and I have eaten there at least once a month for the last two years. The service is average, but always consitant. The food is so flavorful that you will not eat chineese food anywhere else. I suggest the kung pow chicken, and their tastey eggrolls.

• Pros: Tastey chow

Please, try for yourself!

My first experience at this restaurant was probably about 5 years ago, while I was in high school. A group of my friends were going out to dinner, and invited me along when my previous plans didn't work out (thankfully!!!). My best friend told me she'd only ever ordered one thing because she couldn't bring herself to order anything else, it was so good -- so I copied her order, and have been happily stuck in the same pattern ever since! I always order the Sweet and Sour Chicken -- it is absolutely delicious! The chicken is always tender, and the batter always crispy and fresh, never soggy or greasy; the sauce is sweet and sour wonderfulness -- that's the best way I can describe it :P; and you get a LOT for the price! I also love their Pork Fried Rice (which comes on the side of the Sweet and Sour Chicken), and their hot tea is the best I have ever had from a Chinese restaurant -- and with how much I love the cuisine, I've had a lot!

I took my boyfriend here for the first time about a year ago -- he ordered the same thing I got, fell in love, and has since tried just about everything on the menu, and we've never never had anything less than an awesome experience. (By the way, I'm not much of an egg roll person, but my boyfriend is, and he says these are absolutely the best he's ever had.)

Visually, the restaurant itself may be a bit of a blast from the past, but I actually count that toward its charm. :P The ambiance may be a little funky, but the establishment is always very clean and cozy feeling -- especially with the staff being so friendly and welcoming!

Honestly, if you don't try this place for yourself, you're really missing out!

• Pros: Wonderful food, service, and experience in general.
• Cons: Outdated decor -- but I kind of like it.

Always a Pleasure-Always a Treat!

by JimKahn at Citysearch

Do you remember the first time you had Chinese food and why you fell in love with it? Kwang Chow IS that reason why! The atmosphere is simple and the food is simply terrific. They treat you like family because they?re always happy to see you again, so treat yourself to some good memories and bring a good appetite! ?and the Daily Special makes a great To Go Order when you can?t quite make up your mind!

The people who complain are usually those people who complain about everything, (and they like to see their names in print) so I don?t take their comments very seriously.

We?ve been going there for years and they?re #1 on our speed dial. And now I?m getting hungry!

GOOD FOOD, GOOD SERVICE, WHO NEEDS MORE?

by l1a1h1 at Citysearch

I AM A LOCAL GOURMET CHEF WHO IS VERY FOND OF CHINESE FOOD. I HAVE EATEN AT KWANG CHOWS FOR OVER 15 YEARS NOW AND HAVE NEVER HAD A BAD DINING EXPERIENCE THERE. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEIR KUNG POW SHRIMP. I GET IT AT ALMOST EVERY VISIT. BEWARE, IT IS VERY SPICY. YUM. THEIR FU YUNGS ARE WONDERFUL AND FILLING, AND THE FRIED RICES HAVE ALWAYS BEEN DONE TO PERFECTION. TRY IT, YOU'LL SEE HOW IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE COOKED.

• Pros: GOOD VARIETY, GREAT TASTES, EASY ACCESS
• Cons: WHAT THEY LACK IN DECOR, THEY MORE THAN MAKE UP IN FLAVOR

You will never find an eggroll this good again!

by beentoportland at Citysearch

You will honestly never taste another eggroll that is better, or one that can compare. My family has been going to this restaurant for over 20 years. Including Grandparents, parents, my siblings and all of our children. I have completely stopped going to any other Chinese restaurant because there is just not another place in Oregon, Washington or California that I have found that can even compare to this one. It is definately causal dining, with a comfortable and inviting atmosphere for children. It is not decorated fancy, but the food and the service is great. The same waitresses have been there for over 15 years, and they are married to the cooks. It is family owned, and even the daughters of the owners have worked there over the years. If you like spice just ask for some of the chili sauce on the side... it will make your mouth water and set your taste buds on a roller coaster ride. This is a must try restaurant. Every friend or extended family member that we have taken with us has become a regular return visitor, because they too can't find another place that has Chinese food that is this GOOD.

• Pros: Egg Rolls, Service, Price,
• Cons: None that I can think of

Not fancy but ecellent food

by magicwkr at Citysearch

Kwang Chow Restaurant has been my favorite Chinese food restaurant for about 15 yrs. They are a friendly group of people, their food is always good, and the price is right. My favorite dish is the pork noodle soup, "lots of pork" when ever I order pork noodle soup from other restaurants, I compare it to Kwang Chows and I have not found one that compares :no joke" Years ago I took my son there, he was 9yrs. old, they taught him how to eat with chop sticks and to this day he remembers them and always talks about how he learned to eat with sticks. Thank you Kwang Chow.

• Pros: Friendly, excellent food
• Cons: Not trying it.

Meatless dishes are delicious!

by jeanineruby at Citysearch

Kwang Chow has absolutely the best meatless almond chow mein and meatless fried rice. So fresh and delicious! Yes, you can go meatless at a Chinese Restaruant. This restaurant serves Chinese food the way American's like it. I'm so lucky it's in my neighborhood. And the people are so nice and friendly.

• Pros: Value, Good Parking, good service
