    Had dinner here to welcome a conference speaker. Very nice restaurant! Great dim sum. The food is fresh and delicious, especially liked the Lobster and Peking Duck -- full of flavor yet not too oily. The service is friendly and fast, and the environment is clean and comfortable. They go extra miles to make the customers happy. Good for casual or social. A great place to enjoy authentic dim sum with family and friends. As you can see we enjoy the food so much that I forgot to take a picture ahead of time. Definitely recommend.

    Food and service was great! We had Jellyfish Salad for the first time ever. Was really good. We tried the Fried Shrimp balls; scallop, Squid, Shrimp in spicy salt, shrimp fried rice, white radish cakes, it was all great!

    It's been multiple years since I've last visited Kirin Court. It was as good as I remembered it. Great place to get some dim sum. We can only a Sunday evening, and it was fairly slow at the time. It made chatting very easy. Highly recommend checking it out, if you've never been.

    The food here is generally good. Tonight the shrimp and beef fun rolls were cold and felt like they were made earlier in the day. The rest of the items were served hot and tasted delicious. The service was impeccable to my surprise. Was it because there was only one other group of 6, or was it because the boss and his family were there, or did the service genuinely improve?? This place is huge and I’ve seen it packed. Would definitely recommend

    The whole experience was astonishing! We were immediately attended to and given a table. The waitresses were so friendly and made the whole experience smooth and fast. The carts came around quickly and food was hot. Food was delicious, the dumplings and the beef noodle wraps had thin wraps which is golden. The waitresses were attentive on our tea and water refills. I had a really good time going and will definitely come back. I read the negative reviews before I went, scared me a bit, but I’m so glad I went and those negative reviews I did not experience.
