Kirin - San Francisco

Consistent and well-prepared Cantonese dishes are served at this restaurant, including Hainanese steamed chicken, honey walnut prawns, and chicken salad. The prices are reasonable considering the quality of food offered. The service is very accommodating, but the cleanliness of the toilets could be improved.

This restaurant is one of the best places to enjoy delicious and authentic Chinese dishes. It has a great ambiance and is very welcoming to children. We will definitely be returning in the future!

My family and I have dined at this restaurant and the food is delicious! It is authentic Chinese cuisine with generous portions. The staff is friendly, but we did have to ask for water and tea.

When I think about Chinese food I can go to 9/10 times its Kirin. Best way to describe this place is probably great middle tier Chinese restaurant . There is nothing fancy about this place at all but the food is why you come here anyway. Sweet and sour pork in particular is probably better here then most if not all other places in Mountain View. The lunch specials are particularly good deal as you get tofu soup, egg roll, friend rice and one of the dishes from lunch menu (obviously its sweet and sour pork but i do occasionally go for peeking beef or Mongolian beef). Personally, I stay away from porridge and sesame chicken as they are honestly just not that good here and sesame chicken in particular is way too sweet. In all this place is all about what you order and it wont break the bank while giving you very generous portions. I have been coming here for over 15 years now and have only had 2 not so great experiences and they had to do with me getting wrong item or the service.

What? Only 4 stars, 5 stars is a perfect experience for the Exceptional and we had a great lunch. Starting with Rainbow Salad (PRE ORDER RECOMMENDED), Wintermelon soup, salt n pepper pork chops (ask for fork n knife), green beans n chicken, tofu with mushrooms, beef strips, clay pot mixed meats, chow lo mein (skinny noodles), and hot tea n hot water. Good food, regular service, and had to ask for tea. Owner and staff are Chinese speakers. English is not well understood. For an exceptional five star experience, I recommend Nicks In Honolulu Hi.
