Silver Wok

Food quality has gone way down in the last year or so… customer service sucks. This used to be one of my favourites. Between being overcharged and a completely horrible expierence with front house staff I won’t be returning and don’t reccomend. Find another place that doesn’t hang up on customers, add extra charges on bill and go sub par on food quality. So many other great options in kingston. Sad to see them in a downward spiral.

Well, where to begin. My first encounter with the seedy looking place, located beside quite a nice pub, was with my 12 year old Chinese son. My lad needed to pee. Upon asking where the washrooms were I was confronted with a loud and dare I say aggressive, «Washrooms are for customers only!»
Well, in my mind, anyone who would deny a child a basic need, doesn’t deserve my custom, or anyone else’s for that matter. Ironically had the proprietor offered the use of the facilities, not only would I have likely returned to dine, but I would have probably scribed a more favourable review.
I strongly recommend Kai’s delights for all your Chinese dining needs.

Pretty glad we stopped by this place. Passing through Kingston and had little expectations for the place based on reviews. But both my parents enjoyed their food and it was rather authentic as well. Only 4 stars because service was pretty rough but shout outs to the kitchen!

Looks can be deceiving. This place has a sketchy exterior with a generic Asian restaurant interior but boy does it serve amazingly authentic Chinese food. I went with a friend and we ordered the pork belly and fried green beans which were recommended by our server. We are both Chinese and found that the food was both delicious and authentic. This is the best Chinese restaurant I’ve been to in Kingston if you know what to order. I can’t say much about their Americanized Chinese food though. The dishes are pretty cheap on their own but the prices can add up to be expensive.

I’m only giving it 4 stars because every other Chinese restaurant in downtown Kingston is a disgrace. They are nothing compared to the Chinese restaurants in Toronto or Vancouver.
Some dishes are really good like water boiled fish/​beef (they are spicy) and sesame shrimp. Some other dishes like Kung Pao chicken, I ate a bite and threw the whole box away.
I don’t know why but all the Chinese restaurants have very old and rusty decorations. They look dirty and nasty. So I don’t recommend any of the restaurants here in Kingston but Silver Wok is ok if you’re really craving Chinese food

We ordered delivery last night and it wasn’t at all what I expected. We ordered: 2 spring rolls, beef almond ding, beef mixed vegetable chow mien, and honey garlic spare ribs. I enjoyed the spring rolls! Their beef in the ding & chow mien was horrific. I found it too soft (In a bad way), the texture was slimy, and didn’t even seem like it was meat. Other than that the ding was fairly good, the vegetables were weird sizes in my opinion and some weren’t cooked as much as others. I don’t know, it was mind boggling. The chow mien tasted like seafood. I don’t know if some sort of cross contamination happened, but the taste was very obvious. The noodles weren’t fully cooked either! Like I don’t know what was going on– I’ve heard such good things & that’s why we ordered from there. I seem to have bad luck or something. Oh, the honey garlic spare ribs looked scary, but my boyfriend assures me they were actually very tasty. So spring rolls & spare ribs! I don’t think I’ll order here again. So very disappointing!

Was refused a window table with my family (we were a group of 3) because they wanted to save the tables for bigger groups. The place was completely empty when we went by other than the family members watching TV out in the open with the volume blaring. Student son server was also very rude once we had asked again to sit at the window table. Food was mediocre, prices were not good deals. Wouldn’t recommend eating here.

This probably the best Chinese food restaurant in kingston. It has a wide range of dishes ranging from the traditional Canadian Chinese (chicken balls, sweet and sour, etc.) to more exotic Szechwan. Ingredients are fresh and tasty, portions are substantial and the service friendly. Décor is basic and it is often full of students, many of the Asian which is probably a good sign.

Great, fairly authentic, Chinese food. We always get our take-​out here when we’re visiting Kingston. Lots of students hunkered down behind their giant bowls of soup when we go to pick-​up our food.
There are sweet and sour chicken bowls for those not ready to move on from Chinese-​Canadian classics.
