Kwok's just may be our favorite Chinese restaurant in the world!
The service is great (thanks Winnie, Brian, and Danny), and although small, we love the feel of the place, and food is simply amazing. (And they have a great wine and beer list with things you won't see anywhere else, so definitely give it a look and try something new.)
I am not going to go I to all the dishes we had because that would take forever, especially because we loved our July 2025 visit so much that we returned two days later to try some more. (We had visited them a couple times a couple years ago and loved it then too...but don't remember it being THIS good!) However, here are just some of the many excellent dishes that immediately come to mind...
Egg rolls
Pot stickers
Crab ragoon
Oysters
Mushrooms
XO green beans
Duck stir fry
Crab fried rice
Spicy beef
Szechuan eggplant
Roasted duck
I recommend just picking whatever looks good, whatever is on special, and whatever they recommend and you'll have an amazing meal. (We always order a ton, figuring we'll take the extra home but it ends up being so good that we eat it all there.) And rest assured, the food is top quality. It is always fresh and light and no matter how much we eat, we never feel heavy or hungover the next day.
They have both indoor and outdoor seating, but the place isn't very big so I highly recommend making reservations.
We travel to Renoux regularly and now our whole visit revolves around the question, "...when are we going to Kwok's, and can we fit in two visits while we're there for the weekend?"
