Reviews For Kuong Chan's Chinese Restaurant

I have been eating there off and on for years now, and it is one of the finest Chinese restaurants in Salem (Oregon). The food is superb and always well-cooked. The restaurant itself has an attentive, family-style feel to it that is unpretentious and very casual. It is one of those unheralded gems of a place that are worth experiencing; most especially for the food itself, because that's what it's all about - the wonderfully delicious Chinese food!

Ordered beef low mein and chicken broccoli. Both were delicious. Normally I order the pepper salted shrimp, but felt like trying something new. Am glad I did!

A classic with the same owners for 30 years. Try one of the green bean dishes

The owner is very hospitable. I thought our orders will take long because they were short staffed but we got it pretty fast! And food is great! Did not disappoint!

Me and my daughter got food here to go tonight and everything was so good! I can tell that all the ingredients are fresh and nothing was soggy like it had been sitting. This will be our go to place for Chinese food from now on!

Basically the only place to go for down-home good Chinese here in Salem Oregon. Food is always fresh no old veggies or meat sitting around to serve. Prices are more than reasonable. The family that owns it is always friendly and quick to take your order. Whenever we have need of going out they have anything from soup to food my family always goes here. Back when they would sit people in the restaurant they were always very friendly and never left you without checking in on you several times. Facemasks are required right now and to go ordering is your only option. But if you call ahead they will make sure your food is done at the time they say. It will be hot and fresh not sitting under a hot plate. They are happy to make substitutions and don’t charge a fortune for them. They are allergy friendly and very knowledgeable about their product and will tell you if there’s something in it that you need to avoid. Love this place can’t say enough good things about the staff!

I have driven past here almost daily for several years and finally decided to give them a try for lunch the other day. I was not disappointed! I was seated right away and offered tea. Everything came out quickly and was hot. The portion sizes are on par with every other Chinese restaurant I’ve gone to, but the chow mein is the best I’ve had! I am a garlic lover, and I could see the minced garlic in the vegetables. The breading on the sweet and sour pork was perfectly done, though I would have liked more of the sauce (personal preference, my husband would have thought it was just right). Prices are reasonable, and I will definitely be back. I’m disappointed I haven’t tried them sooner!

Visited this place yesterday. Extremely fast service. We had barely ordered food when it arrived. My wife had chicken with green beans. She says they were "done just right, delightfully crunchy, not undercooked nor overcooked." I had the Sichuan Beef, and it was fantastic. Also very cheap.
