Fried Shrimp with Honey Glazed Walnuts- $17.95 (2 orders shown).
We enjoy going to Kirin Chinese Restaurant for Dim Sum (see my review),
but our visit this time was for a birthday dinner.

I pre-arranged everything over the phone in advance.
My bad, I didn't catch the name of the person I spoke to several times, maybe it's the owner?
They were super nice and patient with my many questions-- a big thank you!
While they offer 2 dinner set menus with 9 courses each including dessert (please call to confirm pricing),
I decided to piece together my own menu to include some of my Fiance's favorites.

SPRING ROLLS
($8.95; 8 pieces per order cut into halves)
($8.95; 8 pieces per order cut into halves)
 Spring rolls with various vegetables (mushrooms, taro, carrots, etc.) and pork. Fried to a crunchy perfection. You will need 2 orders if you have a party of 10 or more. Peking Duck (whole) served with buns $48  There's 12 buns total for a whole serving of duck. Half order is also possible ($24.50). Pre-cut and plated Peking duck brought to the table. If you want a less filling option, opt for the traditional Chinese pancakes in lieu of the buns. Maine Lobster in Peppery Salt & Garlic $34 per LB (~ 3.13 lbs shown)  You have option to request the Lobster or Crab to be cooked in one of six styles. Juicy Maine Lobster with large meaty claws! I think the garlic ratio is good even for those who might not be the biggest fan of garlic. But if I made it myself, I would load it up more with garlic (but that's because we LOVE garlic). Easy-to-eat as all of the pieces are pre-separated for you.  Lobster fried in a super light starch coating then wok stir-fried with the aromatic seasonings. Beef Tenderloin with Black Pepper Sizzling Platter ($24.95)  This was extremely delicious. Delivered with drama as it comes sizzling on a hot plate. Super tender meat with bell pepper and mild onions bathed in a savory pepper sauce with a hint of tang. Yang Chow Fried Rice & Mapo Tofu ($13.95 each)  The fried rice comes in large communal bowl. They offered to portion it out for us individually (as shown here). The fried rice was served almost towards the end of the meal (though that seems to be the trend in Chinese restaurants I've been to lately here). So you might want to request that to be served first if it matters to you. For larger tables, they recommend doubling up the rice, walnut shrimp and appetizer also. Cold Ginger Chicken (half order) $15.95  The chicken was very soft and the green onion and ginger sauce was very tasty. Choy Sum with Oyster Sauce $12.95  Time to devour some veggies. The oyster sauce was quite light, leaving room for you to taste the sweetness of the Choy Sum. We had a great meal and the restaurant was very nice and accommodating--BYOB for wines and allowed us to have a birthday cake delivered directly (they provided paper plates and utensils; self-served). I highly recommend Kirin if you want to eat Chinese food in a more up-scale but more quiet atmosphere. Really good for gatherings! |

PRIVATE DINING ROOM(S)
Private Dining Room Area. There's 2 tables of 10 seats (additional seats can be added but very tight fit).
Both rooms can be connected together, or closed off with the middle divider
making for a roomy but intimate space.
If you prefer the more bustling feel of a Chinese restaurant, I also highly recommend
dinner at Legend's Seafood Restaurant (my review).
