First time going here. I was skeptical at first, but the moment my food arrived I was blown away. The portions are huge! I almost ate the entire plate. It was so good. The place has been there since 1975. And on top of everything the service was top-notch. Definitely going back!!

Been going to this restaurant since the 80s. Yes, they have changed hands a few times but the great food remains the same. Love the chicken fried rice with bean sprouts and NOT peas and carrots. The egg foo yung patties are tasty and huge. Really enjoy some of the chicken dishes; sweet and sour chicken, sesame chicken. The portions are very generous. Nicky, the owner is great. A real lovely, friendly, person and always makes sure you are satisfied with your meal.

This place is a hidden gem. We took my mom for lunch on lunar new year and we were the only ones in the dining room. The service was spot. The food is reminiscent of the amazing Cantonese cuisine you can get back on the East coast. Egg drop soup, sweet and sour pork, crab puffs and General Tso's chicken were stand outs. The restaurant's decor took me back to the late 80's early 90's, a total vibe. Mesa you're missing out. If I lived closer I'd be here all the time.

Fantastic and wonderful restaurant. Very awesome staff! I enjoy Saturday nights ordering from them

I've been coming to this spot for over 10 years. The food is always hot and fresh, fast service open seating from booth to tables. Great place to stop in and try out some lunch specials or dine for dinner. Serving up family style portions. Vibe is very casual with a small bar located inside separate from dining area.

This is a great neighborhood place for fresh delicious Chinese food. I love the shrimp chow mein, egg drop soup and wontons. The dining room is traditional Chinese decor. There is a bar on the other side where you can listen to music, watch the game, play pool or darts. Nicky the owner/bartender is warm and adorable. She really makes the place welcoming. I love this place suey much!

We ordered from Kwan's again and just like before , everything was wonderful! When we picked up the food the gentleman explained each dish and made sure I knew what we had. Then when we ate it- the teriyaki chicken, garlic chicken , orange chicken and Mongolian beef were all superb! We will be back!

The food in the restaurant is amazing. Great for takeout or dine in. We always get the beef and broccoli with white rice. The meals come with egg drop soup and the portions are generous. The little bar that's part of Kwan's is a very old-school bar with an ambiance of 1980. Only thing missing is ash trays and cigarettes. They sell bottles only. No draft beer. You can order food from Kwan's and eat it on this side. There's a pool table and a dart board that's unfortunately not in great condition. The place is usually empty which blows me away (although I love having the place to myself).

Have gone here for years with my family. The food is good and the customer service is excellent! I love the egg flower soup with the chili oil. This is definitely a place to try. Prices are good for big portions! Definitely recommend!!
