In Short – Gray walls and dark wood chairs creates a stylish setting for diners from the neighborhood. The menu features Chinese and Japanese selections as well as several sushi rolls and pieces. Mandarin specialties include Hunan noodles, Mongolian beef and moo shu wraps with shrimp, chicken, pork and vegetable options. From the Japanese side, there's chicken, beef and salmon teriyaki, tempura and soba and udon noodles. Sushi can be ordered a la carte, or in combinations.

FOOD POISONED!

WARNING!!!! I became violently ill after eating sesame chicken at Kite Mandarin and ended up in the ER. I called to inform them of this and they hung up on me.

Enjoy Their Cuisine

by Artyzen at Citysearch

I carry out from here on the way back from work every now and then. It's great if I want sushi or chinese food. My favorites are chicken in lettuce cups and eggplant in garlic sauce since you can't find them in other places. The sushi is very delicious too, and the staff is super nice. I like the ambiance, but just a little more light would be great.

  • Pros: pan asian, friendly staff, nice ambiance, tasty food
  • Cons: perhaps parking

Disappointed

by sweetiepie3 at Citysearch

I seriously never write reviews on restaurants because I just don't have the time, but this time it was so bad I had to write one. Kite's food was not only not very good but also pretty expensive compared to other places we usually order from. The sesame chicken was basically little pieces of chicken (not sure what type) fried in a bright red sauce (I am scared to know what was in it that made it bright red), the other dishes we got basically gave us all indigestion. We order out A LOT and know good asian food, and this was definitely not good. I do not recommend this place.

Definitely the best food for the price, and then some!

by imnotsanenow at Citysearch

Excellent food, definitely not the best ever, but probably the best food for the money bar none.... Service is always good, and somehow this hidden gem hasn't drawn a crowd yet. As stated in other reviews, never a wait for a table.

Sushi is definitely good here, and the moo-shu pork is delicious!

  • Pros: Taste, Value, Atmosphere, Service
  • Cons: Be nice to have a crowd once in a while
