"Truly delicious and fresh food! The consistency each time I order is on point and the authentic ingredients make it a fabulous Thai experience. I loved the Scallion Pancake (8) and the Tom Yum Tom Yum Soup as well as some of the absolute best Thai Iced Tea around! The people are kind and the prices are reasonable. If you like Thai food or want to try it, look no further!"
"Our go-to for Thai food. Sometimes it can be quite inconsistent but we find it to be the best in the area that delivers to us. The pad Thai is either very bland or very flavorful - it's a toss up but nonetheless we continue to gamble. We have also had a few instances with missing items from our order (not just with delivery but pickup as well) over the years. The Spicy Hot Basil is great but the portion could be better. Not much chicken compared to the veggies. The spring Crispy Roll (4) isnt the best bang for your buck, but theyre good. Same with the Gyoza (6). "
Pad Thai
A popular thai stir fried rice noodle with egg, bean sprout, ground peanut and scallion in tamarind sauce. We use peanut, nuts, shrimp, meat, egg, sugar, salt, wheat & dairy products in our preparations. Before placing your order, please inform us if a person in your party has a food allergy. Some items are cooked to order and may be served raw or undercooked. Consuming raw or undercooked meat, poultry, seafood, shellfish or egg may increase risk of food borne illness.

"The food was very very good. The Vegetable soup was warm, comforting and very healthy with a mixture of vegetables....I've ordered this several times. My first order of Crab Rangoon...they were large and the small order had 7....too much for one person, would be nice if they had an even smaller option. While I was expecting head and shell-on for the Salt & Pepper Shrimp, these were still very good and properly seasoned with a thin crust....had just the right amount of heat with the Szechuan peppercorns....also sliced chilli if you wanted it more spicy. Thanks!!"
"I ordered during Happy Hour only $15.71 for 3 appetizers and pork fried rice and the Boneless Ribs omg you get so much!!! The crab Rangoon are filled and taste so delicious. I thought for the price it would be sub par but no way the freshness too I'm ordering every time from them from now on COMPLIMENTS TO LUCKY DRAGON"

"The food here is always excellent and fresh. This is our first time trying them on DoorDash. The main reason we go here is for the eggrolls. They are beyond fantastic. They are made with pork and a little shrimp in the middle and it's just delicious! We can also highly recommend their sweet-and-sour dishes."
"Crab Rangoon was so bland zero taste at Kowloon, yuck. Yall seriously, so disappointing, don't waste ur money at Kowloon. I'm so mad they near ruined my night, def ruined my appetite and dinner. Try Billy C reaturant, Revere and Green Tea restaurant, Lynn, no bullshii they has have the creamiest and tastiest crab Rangoon. Kowloon chicken teriyaki was so over cooked, bro it was so dry thank goodness I got Pint Saugus Wings Sauce to drowned them in, unfortunately it was $10for a pint if Pint Saugus Wings Sauce ...robbery! but its been years since I tried it so I said, why not, wrong choice. The beef teryiaki i couldn't even bite into it the meat was so thick, legit like rubber, I kid u not, I couldnt break it apart for the dog and neither tasted at all, like teriyaki. Spicy String Bean and white rice were the only edible items in my 64$order. never again Kowloon u got me with the 10$coupon so I tried it and it was a fail. Kowloon seriously yall Kowloon was so gross."

"The chicken fried rice was delicious. My little cousins loved the chicken "
"The saddest looking sushi I've ever seen for how much I paid. Should have taken a picture to better demonstrate my frustration but I was hungry. I could have bought grocery store sushi and it would have be better than what I got for 3 times less money, twice the volume, with better quality. The 24. Pork Gyoza was good and I quite enjoyed it, but the 220. Sushi Regular was really disappointing. For $31 I was expecting somewhat high quality sushi and what I got was anything but high quality. I've had better sushi from Market Basket. Don't recommend ordering from here. I want my money back lol."

"Food was tasty although I wished the kung pao was spicier. The packaging was done with sanitation in mind. I'm definitely switching to Dumpling garden after noticing a drop in quality at the restaurant I regularly go to. "
"Let me start by saying I've been to/ ordered from Chinese restaurants all over the country and this is one of my favorites! Although I prefer wings to be servered with hot sauce the A6 Chicken Wing are so flavorful and crispy on the outside but tender on the inside that I dont mind eating them plain. The A1 Crab Rangoon (8) were delicious aswell and the house made duck sauce they are served with is top notch. I tried one of their sushi rolls the Spicy Girl* for the first time tonight and was not disappointed. It tasted so fresh and was high quality as far as I could tell. I really feel like the people here care about the food they serve and I look forward to trying more new things on their menu in the future."
