Kirin Restaurant

Best place around! Will be back indefinitely!! Shout out to the chef, flavors on flavors.

I was skeptical about eating at this place. There was no one in the restaurant. Gloomy and poor service. No hospitality at all whatsoever. I order curry chicken with rice. It had such strong taste of raw turmeric. The gravy was not cooked properly either. This was first time that I wasted food. When I told the server that the food is uncooked and has a very unusual taste he said we have gotten many orders, it’s good dish and blamed it on my taste bud. I wish I could make him eat it right there. Worst place to go. I regret every penny spent!

Good authentic Chinese food. You can order off menu if they know how to make the dish.

The food was good. The walnut shrimp was absolutely amazing. Crispy, crunchy, sweet on the outside. Soft shrimp on the inside. All the other dishes were average, not bad, but not super good. They were really understaffed though. There was only one waiter there the whole time I was there. Thank goodness there were not that many people. The waiter is this elderly man. He's really nice but doesn't really talk so if you need anything you have to go to him. I kinda feel bad for him. He was serving everyone there, and at times I could tell he was stressed. At the end of our meal when my family was almost done, the waiter seemed to be in a rush, and in an attempt to take stuff off the table, he spilled water on my brother. Which is okay, but it kinda shows how much he was multitasking.

This is the best restaurant among all in the South Bay. Kirin is always the first choice for us for 40 years!
