What User likes about Kirin Chinese Food:
Well we have had varied meals here since it changed hands. They only take cash now, which is fine for us, but must deter some, at least you can get cash from the co-op next door. Our latest meal was really good, the shredded chilli chicken was great, we have found the beef version a bit soft at times, it should be crispy! Never had an unpleasant meal, just sometimes not quite there, and sometimes enjoyable, hence the... View all feedback. What User doesn't like about Kirin Chinese Food:
Had chicken curry and fried rice here, the fried rice was not fried. It was most definitely boiled and the chicken in the curry was slimy like it had been coated in something and it was still pink in places. Don’t know what part of the chicken was use but there was no chunks of meat, they were all flat. Needles to say but there was upset stomachs all round the following day. I would never go back there which is a sha... View all feedback.

The Kirin Chinese takeaway had a rough start with new owners, but has since shown improvement with decent chef in place. While some dishes have been hit or miss, there is progress being made. Some customers have faced quality issues with raw or burnt food, urging them to never return. On a positive note, the Singapore noodles have been highly praised as flavorful and spicy. Despite some inconsistencies, the staff is friendly and efficient. Overall, the Kirin offers solid comfort food for a quiet night in, with standout items like egg fried rice. This local gem is worth a visit for reliable Chinese takeout.

This is the worst takeout I have ever had. Do they even know how to cook? I would be better off eating instant noodles instead.
