I can’t remember the last time I did a review. But, this one I couldn’t let go. The service was acceptable, hair in my lunch special was NOT acceptable, MSG by the chef can absolutely be toned down as I had to shotgun a gallon of water afterwards, 15% off for hair in my lunch is disappointing. My party was pretty shocked when at least the kitchen could have replaced it. The waitress response made me feel like it was normal and ok. Also, the portions was embarrassing to say the least!!!!!! The minute scoop of fried rice wasn’t even even with our party of 5. The chow mein was room temperature, the spicy crust beef was supposed to be spicy but all it was sweeter than a 7-Eleven Slurppe! Unfortunately, I can’t recommend this place to anyone. Hang Ah or Royal China is a lot better and authentic for local. If you’re in the city try Dragon Beaux on Geary Blvd.

So very fresh and not heavy in sauces. Im a vegetarian so the chow mein , fried rice , sizzling rice soup and mooshu were fresh and extra delicious. Probably some of the best Chinese I’ve had in a while
Foot note: also had the vegetable pot stickers with great plum sauce!

Excellent flavors and AMAZING value!
This little restaurant packs huge, fresh and crisp flavors into a very affordable menu that is served family-style with enough food to actually feed your family.
We travel frequently and have struggled to find these flavors and quality in the north of San Francisco.
We ordered 2 entrees and vegetables and received enough food for a family of 4!

I got take out and spent $60. I could taste the MSG. I had a horrible headache the next day. Used to be my favorite not anymore.

The best fried rice I’ve ever had! Don’t let the color of the rice fool you, it’s full of flavor! I used to visit Santa Rosa frequently and I would always order delivery or take out from this place. Their hot and sour soup is really good too. I haven’t been to Santa Rosa in a few months, but I would definitely make the drive from Sacramento just for the rice haha.

Kirin Chinese Restaurant has the most delicious Chinese cuisine. Mouth watering soup with giant meat filled dumplings, fresh vegetables, broth with chicken and vegetables. Grilled meats with asparagus, green onions, splendid menu with astonishing dishes. My daughter loves this restaurant, especially Beef Chow Fun Noodles.

It was my birthday recently, and my wife and I decided to go somewhere special. We decided on Kirin. Like its name, Kirin is a mythical creature that has been a messenger of good luck for the Santa Rosa area for many years. We both ordered our favorites, Wor Wonton Soup, Combination Fried Rice, and Hunan Chicken. Each dish was one incredible taste sensation after another. The service is always exceptional, and the overall dining experience is off the charts fantastic.

I was disappointed. I finally got both my kids out for lunch, and we were the only ones there. I ignored the slightly strange vibe I got when I expressed that we’d be eating in. The food was actually pretty good, but after only about 10 minutes my weird kid asked for a box which led the lady to immediately scoop up everyone’s food in her arms and take it away. I was like halfway through my beer and my other kid hadn’t even finished a tiny bowl of soup and there was our stuff in a bag on the table with the check.
It was weird and disappointing. I am kind, so I smiled and expressed no dissatisfaction, but I suggest takeout only.

I am not joking when I say, this is THE BEST Chinese restaurant ever! The food, AMAZING, the Service, AMAZING, the atmosphere? AMAZING. The hot and sour soup is perfect, and I love all their sweet and sour dishes, the sweet and sour pork is my favorite, and the chow mein is beautiful. Me and my dad come here almost every day. Never had a bad experience.
