Kirin Court — Restaurant in Millcreek Township

Erie needs to know about this place!! Hands down, Kirin Court is now the best Chinese Restaurant in the city. I've now eaten there twice and I wish I hadn't waited so long to go the first time, and I can't wait until I go the next time. My biggest regret of all, however, is that they are not yet advertising and so I have to worry for a while that they may not make it. That's the reason for this review--GO!! GO there! Soon! And often! So far I've had the opportunity to try their Szechuan Shrimp, Shrimp Lo Mein, House Egg Foo Young, Won Ton Soup, and Chicken with Garlic Sauce. Every single one was made with the freshest vegetables and proteins I've ever had at a Chinese restaurant here in Erie. I was truly blown away by not only the freshness of the ingredients, but the quality preparations we were served. The Garlic Sauce was perfectly balanced, the Egg Foo Young stuffed impressively with chicken, shrimp, pork, and vegetables, and the Won Tons in their perfect broth were enormous and filling. And to top it all off, the bag they give you when you order take out is amazing! Not just a brown paper sack, this is like a small shopping bag from an upscale boutique or something. Kirin Court is just quality all around. Please try them soon and help keep them around. We'll all be...

I'm generally someone who avoids strip plaza restaurants, but I took my family here solely on the recommendation of a family friend. I don't say this lightly, but this was perhaps the outright best Chinese food I've ever had in Erie, Pennsylvania. I ordered the General Tso chicken, and while it was a bit different in formula than what I was accustom to, it was excellent! My wife had the Moo Goo Gai Pan and my son ordered the Kung Pao Chicken. All three meals were generous in size and the vegetables were very fresh. We talked with the owner and she told us that all meats and vegetables are prepped the day they used and are not stored overnight. From the quality of the meals, I'd have to agree with her. The pricing is affordable as well! An interesting side is that they do not advertise whatsoever, and the vast majority of their new clients come from recommendations from friends and family. This place is a destination that you must take in, and the only negative is that seating is limited.

12/26/2024 Update My son and I ate there once again this evening. Same amazing food and great service. If you live in Erie and don't stop at this place, it's your loss. In my mind, the absolute BEST Chinese food...

It's good Chinese food with an option for takeout or dine in. Located in Millcreek Square strip mall outside of main mall. It's at first light to mall off Peach St, when traveling from the North. As others stated, it's a new, clean place - hopefully it will stay that way longer term. We ordered mixed vegetables with fried rice and snow peas with fried rice. Lunch special is daily, including weekends. Prices were reasonable, lunch entrees are $7-8, with soup and rice. Most dinners are $10-11 range. They also have lots of teas, including bubble tea, for those interested. they do party trays, which is an interesting option. Another interesting thing is that our meal came with a banana, which was unexpected. We saved it and ate it later, just didn't seem to pair with the food, although a nice healthy touch. Even though it was enough, I'd prefer a little more rice and/or soup instead. Only disappointments for me were that both entrees we had were the dark sauce, many times chicken w/snow peas is a lighter sauce, which is one of the reasons I order it. Other thing is no mei fun options, like Singapore noodle, only Lo Mein. Overall, a good choice for Chinese food,...
