Amazing. I was the only non-Chinese person in the restaurant that day, but thankfully I had Chinese friends with me to help with translation. The food was incredibly authentic and delicious. The waitstaff have great personalities, which I really enjoyed. You have to try the coconut pudding for dessert at the end - it's a must-have. I had tried it four times before, and they still remembered me from a year ago.

Delicious late-night Chinese food. I recommend trying the salted pepper pork chops and a vegetable dish. The crispy chicken is also a great choice. Late-night dining options are available starting at 9pm.

5 stars for food: If you are looking for AUTHENTIC CANTONESE cuisine, Kirin has been our destination for 20 years! Beef Chow Fun, pan roasted noodles, Singapore noodles with shrimp, Mongolian beef that melts in the mouth, salt pepper fish / pork cord... YUM! However, if you need VIP 5-star service, this is not the place for you. Did I say "authentic"...? LOL

I had a great experience at this restaurant. I was the only non-Chinese person there that day, but luckily I was with Chinese friends who helped me with the translation. The food was incredibly authentic and delicious. The wait staff were very friendly and memorable. I highly recommend trying the coconut pudding for dessert - I had it once before and it was amazing. They even remembered that I had tried it before.
