" Hao's Kitchen has always been a personal favorite of mine. There's something special about family-owned businesses, and this place is no exception. I've been dining here for years, and the flavors remain consistent. The sweet and sour chicken is a classic, and I particularly enjoy the beef with tomato dish. Although sometimes the wait can be longer than expected, it's worth it when you taste that first bite. The interior is modest, which adds to its charm, making it feel homey. I highly recommend it to anyone craving authentic Chinese food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Just visited Hao's Kitchen after hearing about it from some co-workers, and I won't be going back. The fried rice tasted off like it was reheated too many times, and the sweet and sour chicken was bland. The service was spit, and I felt a bit rushed to complete my order. It wasn't the experience I was hoping for. I want to give it another try, but I'm not convinced at this point. " (*Curated Review*)

" Came here on a whim, and I was pleasantly surprised by the menu choices. Their beef with tomato over rice is a personal favorite now, truly delicious! Each dish seems to be prepared with love, and basically, it radiates a home-cooked vibe. The ambiance is calm, and even during peak hours, it feels inviting. Definitely a go-to spot for casual dining. I appreciated the quick turnaround for my order as well. Worth every penny and I will definitely be bringing friends on my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely fantastic experience at Hao's Kitchen! The flavors in their beef with broccoli were delicious and comforting – like eating a home-cooked meal. I appreciated the portion sizes, perfect for sharing, or you can have a filling lunch for the next day. The decor is simple but adds to the charm. It's infinitely more enjoyable than big chain restaurants where the experience feels impersonal. You can tell this family really cares about quality and their customers. I will surely be back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Tried Hao's Kitchen after hearing my friends rave about it for ages. The flavors and cooking quality speak for themselves – excellent! The sweet and sour chicken had the right kick of flavor, and I loved the fried rice. Service here is excellent; the staff treats you like family! Don't be deterred by the ambiance; just enjoy the food and warm service. This is definitely a place I'm going to suggest to others! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the pleasure of dining at Hao's Kitchen last week and I can't stop raving about it. The food is fantastic! I went for the C5 combo, which was a good choice for sure. The flavors were so rich and satisfying, it felt like real comfort food. And the prices? Very affordable for what you get. The only downside was the slight wait time, but they do prepare everything fresh to order, so I knew it would be worth it. I've been to many Chinese places, but this felt distinct and homely, like a mom-and-pop shop which added to the charm. " (*Curated Review*)

" The ambiance might not be luxurious, but what counts is the quality of food and service, and Hao's Kitchen nails it! I discovered this restaurant on a recommendation from a friend, and boy am I glad I took their advice! The wonton soup is a must-try along with any of their fried rice options. Everything I've had here is packed with flavor! I especially admire how generous the portion sizes are; it’s tough to get it all down. Coming here is not just about eating; it’s more about enjoying a delightful dining experience with cheerful staff and fantastic food. I'd highly recommend it for any lovers of authentic Chinese cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)
