Delicious fresh tasting food. Pleasant atmosphere. Really nice servers and owners. It was a delightful place to enjoy dinner. There are a lot of excellent vegan choices and plenty of options for non-vegans as well. Servings are generous. Highly recommend. This was a great find!

I've been on the search for a good vegan friendly Chinese spot for a while now. Kung Pow has seriously impressed me with the large variety they offer vegan. Everything is clearly indicated which I appreciate. I ordered my food to go and called the restaurant to ensure all my dishes were 100% vegan. The owner who answered the phone was extremely friendly and helpful, making sure what I ordered was made exactly how I wanted. Some menu highlights for me were the vegan potstickers and the Kung Pow! Tofu. The portions are a good sizing too. I do however wish they would add some more vegetables. Other than that I would highly recommend trying this place out!

I ordered the sesame chicken, medium spicy, to go. The layout here was interesting. They have a large dining room that was almost entirely empty except for one table, and then a closed off area with a bar that looked a lot nicer, but was equally empty. While I was waiting for my order to be made, two other people came in to pick up delivery. This place definitely caters to take out and delivery despite having the set up for what looks like a nice dine in experience. The service was good despite only one person running front of house. The person up front managed to take orders, and pour drink for their table as well as take my order. They were friendly and accommodating. When the food was ready the back of house staff brought it out and handed it to those who were waiting; good teamwork between front and back. The food itself was ok. They definitely make it all fresh in house because the chunks of chicken were absolutely gigantic. Normally large food portions is a good thing, but these chunks were so big that they needed to be cut up before you could eat them; not used to fried saucy Chinese food being bigger than bite sized. Medium spicy was plenty spicy for me as someone who likes some spice in their food but doesn't necessarily subject themselves to super spicy things. I might go a little milder next time. The chicken was a little soggier than I would have wanted when I got home 8 minutes later, but over all it was good and I liked it. Worth noting, entrees don't automatically come with rice; it's 1$ to add on. Overall I would say; the service was good, the establishment was nice, and the food was OK but didn't reflect the quality implied by the price point.

I'm surprised my some of the reviews that are negative - perhaps we just went on a good day. Food we liked: chicken noodle soup, lamb appetizer (spicy), and the pork belly hot pot tofu with chicken curry fried rice. Ambience was great - very good service and clean tables! The only reason I took off a star was that the place says it closes at 10pm but we were there at 9:30pm and the staff were hovering for us to leave. Try it - perhaps you'll have better luck than some of the other reviewers on here.
