KC Restaurant Ltd — Restaurant in Nelson

My Mom, My Sister, and I went out for a holiday dinner at KC. Until then we had primarily known KC as a sushi restaurant and I was a bit nervous about ordering from the strangely formatted Chinese menu. The food was great though, with the exception of the chow mein which was extremely salty. Thankfully we had some less salty things to eat it with, like the Agadashi Tofu. Per-item prices are a little higher than expected, but it turns out the serving sizes are generous to match! Good food and fair prices, will definitely come again!

Things we tried: The shrimp dumplings were a favorite, very delicious! Their chicken/shrimp fried rice was great, and had a good amount of chicken/shrimp and vegetables, very filling. The agadashi tofu has a very generous serving size and made for a great group appetizer. Their Chow mein was far too salty, but that could have been an accident. Sweet and sour chicken balls were good, with large chicken pieces and not too much batter. good sauce. Almond chicken with gravy was very interesting, It almost seemed like something you would find on a poutine at finleys and we all liked it.

We had lots of leftovers :p

Update: The last few times I went, there were a lot of communication issues. Orders getting mixed up and takeout being given (mid day) despite saying I wanted to eat in. Things like that. The lady at the front is nice enough but doesn't listen, seems maybe stressed. IDK what the situation is.

Update: I made the mistake of ordering the pad thai, it was incredibly salty, overpoweringly fishy, and the noodles were a soggy overcooked mess. Avoid that particular dish, worst pad thai...

Bland oriental food, mostly broccoli and carrots and chow mein with no bean sprouts. High priced mediocrity catering to canadians who don't know what real chinese food should be like. Edit: when ordering Pad Thai, ask for extra bean sprouts. Wonton soup: ask for no extra noodles so that it's what a normal wonton should be like. The ginger beef isn't bad, for small-town fare; pieces a bit too thick, but having set of teeth, works for me. My less-toothed friend couldn't deal with that. Shanghai Noodle has ok seasoning, but again, broccoli & carrot & cauliflower... California roll ok too, but sure miss Vancouver take-out... (ya, I know, "move back there". Easier said than done: finances help in that regard. Would've moved already if there was somewhere to land.) Once a month I can afford a meal like a California roll, wor wonton, Shanghai noodle and ginger beef. Shared with 2 others. Approx $50 total, pickup...

Depends on who you deal with. Some workers are great with exceptional service. However over the phone, not so much. I was put on hold, can hear workers and customers in the background with the phone being jostled about. After about a minute I clearly heard someone hang up the phone on their end. My call was disconnected and I tried to call back. Eventually the same person answered and I explained I wanted to order for delivery but I was hung up on. She denied it and explained I was put on hold as she was the only person on right now. Anyhow my mood is already sour and hers is probably too as we argue semantics but I'm put on hold again. She comes back to ask for my name and number, then says she'll find out if delivery is available at this time (about 2:30). Nope, not until 6pm. I get that it's busy and she's the only person on the floor but the call could've been...
