Food: Portions redeem tasteless dishes
Kung Pao Bistro's top dishes struggle under the burden of a lack of culinary creativity and inconsistent freshness. The 'best ever had' Mongolian Beef, satisfying Vegan Orange Chicken, and loaded Chicken Wonton soup don't quite make up for the accusations of being bland, soggy, and stale at times. Nonetheless, the restaurant claws back some reputation through its generous portion sizes and the value they bring.
Great Value
Happy hour menu offers great value, exceptional savings for quality food.
Okay Variety
Menu selection is broad, but some dishes are hit or miss for customers.
Low Quality
Inconsistent: sometimes fresh, other times frozen, bad quality, or stale.
Top 3 dishes at Kung Pao Bistro
- 1
Mongolian Beef 🏆
Made with real steak, perfectly seasoned, best ever had, and a winner.
- 2
Vegan Orange Chicken
Mimics actual orange chicken's texture and flavor, satisfying vegans.
- 3
Chicken Wonton Soup
Loaded with rich flavors, meats, vegetables; called a meal in itself.
Vibe: Outdated, eerie ambiance
Expect no romance or ideal dating scenario in this dimly lit realm of disappointment. The casual, worn out decor adds little to the ambiance which is as dull as an empty party ballroom on a Friday night. The extensive variety of craft beers does little to brighten the vibe in an otherwise deserted and unpopular atmosphere.
Great Drinks
Huge selection of craft beers impresses alongside delicious cocktails.
Bad For Dates
Super dark, not romantic, eerie feeling; bad for date nights.
Perks: Frustrating parking spoils outings
Be prepared for the parking nightmare in the overcrowded lots that surround Kung Pao Bistro and the frustration of not being able to place a dine-in order ahead of your visit. Even their outdoor patio brings its own annoyance in the form of slow service and further parking issues. And while the restaurant accommodates large groups and dietary restrictions, a single unruly child's escapade undoes the effort spent trying to create a welcoming atmosphere for all.
Great For Diets
Extensive vegan/vegetarian menu, accommodating dietary needs, flavorful options.
Bad Service
Service speed and inattentiveness repeatedly criticized, tarnishing meals.
