Just an incredible meal. I could go on and on, but suffice to say it was sublime.

Another 5star dining experience at Kirin. My family and I have been coming here for 15 years. The food, and the service remain consistent. Our favorites are any of the house made noodles and always, always, the Cherry Pork.

Manchurian beef and cashew chicken are excellent. As mentioned above the lychee martini his a cant miss drink choice. More expensive than Id like from a Chinese restaurant but what are you going do?

You cant do better than Kirin. Probably the best Chinese food outside of San Francisco. Theyve remodeled. Low light, but enough to read the menu. Great service and delicious food.

As always it never fails. Great food great drinks great service and good prices. We love this spot. The owners know us but she treats everyone just as nice and equally. Recommend to anyone who is looking for this cuisine.

This place was wonderful. I came here with my family and the service and food was great. I highly recommend the sizzling rice soup. Cant wait to go back

I came here last week with my coworkers and every one was pleased with their orders. All the food came out amazing and the service was great. Looking forward to coming back.

We ordered takeout and I must say the food was so fresh. We had a rice noodle dish and a tofu dish. There was plenty of food and plenty of vegetables which I really appreciate.
