BEST IN THE AREA, PERIOD HANDS DOWN This place is excellent. EXCELLENT. I am impressed, and that's not easy when it comes to Asian food. The Food: Hot, fresh, flavorful. The veggies still had crunch and weren't soggy, the rangoons were crispy and not greasy at all, the chicken was saucy but somehow still had crunch. The sushi was the best I've had in the area and I've tried almost everywhere for 30 miles. The Service: So fast that we ordered and FOUR MINUTES had passed on my son's tablet (he was watching Spidey and Friends for his 1hr of screentime) and someone brought our food to our table. When we commented on how fast it was he said "Well yeah you're eating here, we want to make sure we feed you first", then he smiled and walked back to the kitchen. The single con was that it was a bit smokey from the open kitchen design. But HECK I'll take that any day for food and service this good. Amazing place you guys, you've got our business for sure.
New Hears Eve dinner was awesome!! Thank you Kirin Asian Kitchen this was our first experience in your restaurant and we think you did a great job with our order on an extremely busy night, it was ready when I walked in the door and the service was spot on!. The food was very tasty and the prices competitive. We will be back!! Thank you!!
I love this place! Everything I get is so delicious! Love the chicken teriyaki bento box, orange chicken is great and the pad Thai! Sushi is amazing and fresh as well. Friendly staff and quick! Highly recommend.
*Last & most recent experience: although the ramen egg may have not been to my liking, this place really is the best around here in regards to quality. Our food today has redeemed my only one negative experience (every other time besides once i loved it). It is so delicious and made perfectly very fresh.. the hot & spicy shrimp is packed with flavor and the lomein noodles are the best around. Nothing is ever soggy here unlike other near by places & i couldnt be happier today. Thank you Kirin, you really are a great business for this area and your quality is unmatched! *Excellent find in this area, food was great! Already ordered twice in a week! **edit** recent experience today, not the best. At first I really liked this place, food is fresh and it's cool for this area, a nice addition. However - I haven't ordered takeout in a while and was really looking forward to getting a couple things for myself & daughter. We haven't been feeling well and plain lomein noodles are her favorite. I decided to try the spicy miso Ramen with shrimp .. figured this might help clear the sinuses a little maybe? and be delicious. I was pretty disappointed:( my Ramen only had a couple of "veggies" one being corn and the other just was something inedible, couldn't bite through it- and the big disappointment which might be nothing to some but for me, was the egg. It was a fried egg. Where's the traditional Ramen egg? I wad looking forward to that! Maybe this is how they do it? I don't know. Lastly, there was no spice. The whole thing was very bland and I ended up having to cook my own veggies to add to it. With tax and tip at almost 27 - for just 2 things, pretty disappointed and didn't end up eating mine. I will say the shrimp was good, it usually is. It was fresh. Everything else, not good today. I added a photo for egg reference. could have made this at home.

LOVE the food here! So glad we now have a decent Asian restaurant in the area. I always get take out that's why I didn't give the Atmosphere a better rating. Great food!
