Kangxi Is Coming

➤ 4428 Convoy St,CA 92111-3708, United States, 92133, San Diego

Casual • Catering • Szechuan

"We arrived on a weeknight right at 5:00PM and Kangxi was empty, save for one staff member. The restaurant has a large dining space, good for groups. They even have a bar, and a couple of private rooms. Parking was easy for us, maybe because we came for an early dinner AND on a weeknight. This restaurant is kind of tucked away so you might get lucky with parking. We ordered the following: Kangxi spicy noodle $11.99): noodles were cooked well, but this dish definitely could have used more sauce. Despite vigorous mixing, there were still dry noodles : This noodle dish was not spicy, either. Chongqing spicy chicken $14.99): Who doesn't like fried stuff? Chicken pieces were fried well, but I was *not* getting the Chongqin spicy! I did not taste the two chili peppers that were listed on the menu, warning of the numbing spice that was to come. Boiled spicy beef brisket $17.99): Broth/soup was a little anemic in flavor and in mouthfeel, and, sadly... not spicy at all. Cumin lamb $17.99): Just... okay in flavor. Lamb was cooked perfectly, though! Flavor was just lacking. Pork dumplings forgot the price): My favorite item of the meal! Not listed in the menu but I had seen other reviewers post about the dumplings. They were probably the best dumplings I've had at a restaurant in recent memory. Juicy, handmade, and generously filled. The portions were huge. You will for sure have enough for lunch the next day! I can't help but wonder if the pandemic had something to do with this night's mediocre meal, and wonder if Kangxi will get back in their groove of cooking the delicious, flavorful food that other reviewers are talking about. Despite the majority of the dishes lacking in spice and flavor... I would come back again. Am I crazy?! Maybe, but that's neither here nor there :P Kangxi had many items on the menu that intrigued me chicken gizzard w/mixed peppers, frog, Hunan style braised pork, Szechuan flavored fish, etc."

"The restaurant is small inside but has a relaxed atmosphere. The food was amazing, especially the general chicken which was the best I've ever had. The egg rolls were fantastic and the Singapore rice noodles were delicious, although a bit dry. The only thing I didn't enjoy was the crab Rangoon."

Ming's Asian Bistro

"I must say, this was the worst Chinese food I've ever had! The lo mein noodles were completely undercooked and still hard. They really can't cook properly! The cauliflower in the dishes was raw. Everything was just unacceptable! Paying $31 for lunch for two is way too much for such poor quality food. It felt more like a joke than a meal. The service was also quite odd. When I asked for a menu, the waiter only brought a folded paper to one of us. He never checked on us once, even though there were only three tables of customers in the restaurant. I had to hunt someone down just to get help. Honestly, I should have walked out without paying because it wasn't even worth $5, let alone $31."

"While passing through Dayton on a Friday evening, I stumbled upon a charming restaurant called Chopstix and decided to have an early dinner. I was initially intrigued by the name and was delighted to discover that they served pho, my favorite comfort food. The server, JosÃ, was friendly and efficiently ran the restaurant by himself. Although I enjoyed the pho, I wished there were more rice noodles included for the price."

"Excellent menu and really well prepared. Service was excellent and portions were great. Prior to our entrees, our soups and side dishes were excellent, hot and tasty. The prices were reasonable and there were 3-4 pickup orders while we're there showing this community really supported them as well. The cook was also friendly and wanted to make sure that we were pleased with our meals. 5/5 Stars Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5"

"Cuisine: 8 Service: 6 Decor: 3 Value: 7 Overall: 7 Where do you go for a beer and some late night Chinese bbq? If you haven't been to restaurant, then you should give this place a try. It may be the description of a dive, but my friends and I always have a good time whenever we eat here. So, what makes this restaurant special? At each table is a small fire pit where they lay down a pile of charcoal briquettes. You can order from over 30 different kinds of food on a stick and grill them to your liking. Then add some of their amazing seasoning and enjoy! The most popular choices are usually lamb, beef, and chicken ... ... you should definitely get them. They all taste great, especially the lamb, which is our group's favorite. However, if you are adventurous, go for some of the more odd items on the menu. By that, I don't mean squid legs or fish tofu, which are both delicious btw. I'm talking about chicken heart, beef tendon, lamb kidney, etc. May sound disgusting to some people, but music to my ears, and others who appreciates the unique textures of the food they sample. There is also a huge selection of cooked dishes that are quite good too. On this night, we ordered something resembling fried corn pancake, which was crispy and somewhat addicting. We were also given a yummy free dish made with vermicelli, shredded tofu and cabbage in a sweet slightly spicy sauce. However, my favorite dish was the stir fried pork intestines w/ peppers. Absolutely fantastic! Anyway, if you have a late night craving for some Chinese BBQ, and don't mind a basement dive, then stop in for some awesome grub."

"If you visit during the colder months, you might be welcomed with a serving of homemade kimchi, which I believe is the best I've ever tasted. If you don't get the kimchi, you might receive homemade redskin peanuts, which are said to help regulate blood sugar and are a nice complement if you're having rice with your meal. Have you tried the Wood Ear Fungus with Chili Pepper appetizer? If not, you absolutely should! The tender, crunchy wood ears are marinated in chili vinegar and garnished with fresh cilantro, making for a crisp and refreshing dish. The stir-fried lotus root is another delightful side; it's lightly seasoned and has a crunchy texture similar to an apple, without being heavy on starch. The garlic and subtle umami flavors have made it one of my recent favorites. For a shareable main dish, I highly recommend the Fish Filets with Cumin. The whitefish filets are coated in spices and dry-fried with garlic, ginger, peppers, and scallions, resulting in a fragrant and flavorful dish. Alternatively, you could try the Garlic Shoots with Preserved Pork, which features stir-fried leek greens and what I believe is marinated roast pork. This dish offers tender greens complemented by a delicious bacon-like flavor from the meat. I strongly recommend dining in, as the food is best enjoyed fresh rather than after a long DoorDash delivery. But whichever way you choose to experience it, don’t miss out on the amazing authentic Chinese cuisine at Spice Workshop!"

"This restaurant is a great choice if you're in the mood for some spicy Chinese cuisine. While the ambiance leaves something to be desired, the food makes up for it. Though the paper plates seem a bit economical, the flavors are outstanding. I particularly enjoyed the spicy boiled fish, deep-fried intestines with chili, and chicken gizzards. Their appetizer bar is fantastic—you can choose three cold cuts to start your meal. Most dishes come with a generous amount of Szechuan pepper, so be ready for some delightful numbness. The food is authentically prepared, and the portions are massive. We usually come here for lunch and find we have more than enough for another meal later."

"I 'm continuing on my quest to find the best places for Peking Duck in the LA area. This came up on a Yelp search. This is my first time here. It 's on Valley Blvd. just east of Del Mar, on the south side of Valley.The ambiance/decor is very nice. Plenty of free parking in the back. I preordered one Peking duck the basic way $72.99), which is with just soup. When I called from my office at noon, I thought they said it would be ready at 1:00, so I got there at 12:50. It did not come out until 1:35. They said that they don 't cut it until you arrive, so it was supposed to be ready at 1:30 rather than 1:00. In any event, if you plan to have duck here and you 're on a schedule, call in advance to make sure they have some left, and have them be clear on when it will actually be served if it matters.When it finally did come out, the presentation is very nice. It comes on a wooden platter with BEIJING TASTY HOUSE ROAST DUCK inscribed on it. I actually wonder if the delay was because they only have so many platters to serve the duck on, and they had to wait for the party next to me to leave. The Peking duck comes with 8-10 pancakes, depending on how many stick together as a thick pancake. Extra pancakes are $5.99. The duck itself is a generous portion and was very good and delicately sliced. I don 't like the way the serve the cucumbers- they are not peeled and just roughly chopped. I prefer the way The Duck House peels and slices them into very thin strands. I also think that for a dish over $80 with the tax, they should use real silverware for the plum sauce. They used a plastic spoon which was weird with the very nice platter. The duck soup is enormous, beautiful and flavorful, with tofu and tender Napa cabbage along with the duck bones and skin. It is better than most duck soups that come with Peking duck. I 'll enjoy the soup as leftovers almost as much as the duck.I also ordered Beijing-style braised eggplant $15.99). It comes with ground pork. It was very flavorful and great on steamed rice. I also got the cucumber in garlic sauce $8.99). The cucumbers were a very generous portion but were just ok. I 'm editing my review after having the duck and soup leftovers for dinner. That soup is divine and I 'll be back for it. Changed my review from four to five stars. Here is their online menu: order.mealkeyway.com/cus…"

"This tiny cafe is pretty simple and small, but the quality and flavor of the food is excellent. The owners are super sweet and personable. I decided to go with an item on the specials board, a red braised pork with Chinese potatoes. The lady was concerned if I would like what she said was very Chinese dish and offered to make me a sample. She came out with a small sample for me and my friends, which was delicious. The food portions are quite large and meant to be shared, Chinese style. 1 dish with rice could easily feed 2 people. Dishes were about $11-13 on average. They have ample parking. They don't deliver but they do have an online menu system to place a take out order. Highly recommend!"
