Kwon's Restaurant

If you don’t know about this place, then you’re really missing out and obviously you’re not from the area but you don’t have to be from the area to know about this place so again you’re missing out! Lol please believe me when I tell you this will be the best fried rice with anything you choose to put in it you’ve ever had! This is a staple in the city of Pomona, and I highly recommend you to bring everyone you know to try this. I got shrimp fried rice my buddy had beef fried rice and I treated him to lunch and he was just amazed Quan this place never fails us! Come on down and try it on Holt Avenue in Pomona.

Best place for fried rice. This is probably my most favorite fried rice restaurant. The portion is big and the price is great. The size of the restaurant is pretty small, so I usually get the food to-go. If you want some good fried rice, this place is a must!

If the area is sketchy that means the food is going to be good and I was right... 💯i know next time to get the small portion because the big size can literally feed a family of four and the small size can be shared between two people... portions are heavy but the price isn't... 💰

Payed for extra hot sauce. I got a Large shrimp fried rice only got 1 hot sauce and 2 soy sauce. Really??!!

This is one of those restaurants that you want to tell all your friends about because it's that good. The combination fried rice was only $11 and could easily serve four. You'll agree that it actually tastes better than it looks because it is. Kwon's is only 2.6 miles from my work so I'll probably go back to try everything on their vast menu.

I grew up in New York, I've had the best food around. I recommend Kwon's fried rice and chowmein . Excellent.

I understand it’s a Saturday night and you wanna go out and party but at least get the order right and cook it all the way.

My family and I always order to go. The food is amazing. The rice is so worth it. I'm not a fan of the chow mien but my siblings love it so I believe it is also worth it. I also love how they put a lot of chow mein and rice. Honestly this place deserves to open another place in Ontario. I don't like the area it's in but oh well. This place is worth the wait and money. I highly recommend this place. I will be shouting out this place more on my Youtube channel.

The food here is delicious and made fresh!!! We ordered the chicken with shrimp fried rice plate and the beef & broccoli plate which were both really really good!!!!!!!! The service was quick and food came out within 10-15 minutes. They do get a lot of foot traffic so it's best if you order in or else you might to wait longer if you come during rush hours. Seating is limited with about 5-6 tables to sit but, very clean and attentive. Must visit if you like Chinese food!!

My husband's old co-workers used to go to this restaurant to get chow mein, and I've been wanting to check it out. It's located in sketchy area, and I wouldn't feel comfortable going there alone. There was a mattress just outside that homeless people must sleep on at night. I ordered chicken chow mein and chicken fried rice. Their prices are very reasonable for the amount of food that you get. I liked the fried rice much more that the chow mein. Unfortunately, I don't think I'd ever go back.

Use to come here years ago when I worked close by. Great Chinese food made fresh to order. Been a couple of months and happy to see still fresh and made to order Great price for quantity of food also

Best fried rice catering spot~ had it for many parties and gatherings. Always my go to spot

Been going here for 12+ years definitely one of my favorite and will always go here. Good prices for the size servings. Usually order out as I don't live very far. Ate in a few times early on but haven't lately. Service is usually pretty good, fast and efficient. Never a wait when I arrive to pick up. Never really packed so usually in n out quick and food is ready pretty quick. Recommend for a quick meal or even dinner

The food here was great. I ordered the chicken & shrimp chowmein and let me tell you it was delicious. The portions are well served. I will definitely come back to this location soon and try out their other food options.

OG spot. Iykyk. Call in your order before going in to make it faster for pick up. Food is great and place is clean. Heard about what happened before and things have been updated. Cashiers are nice.

When The craving Hits for some Delicious Fried rice this is the spot to fill that craving in Pomona 1625 West Holt Ave Pomona CA

Friendly staff this spot is fire whenever we in town we come through fried rice is bomb

I've been going to Kwons since 1981 I know the owner Sue She's an Awesome person & Veronica who's takes your order, it's hard to believe (44) years I've had the pleasure of meeting her husband god rest his soul, & son & daughter very hard & lovable family everything on the menu is excellent highly highly recommend this place. Just a small little hole in the wall with awesome service and awesome food. Everybody I introduced to Kwons as a regular customer.. sincerely your loyal customer Gary Lopez

We picked up a catering order and found this in our food. I hate to throw away food but this was so disgusting. I see now why they have a B in the restaurant. A friend recommended this place to try the Fried rice with beef chicken and shrimp. No THANK YOU. Please check your fried rice before you eat it. This roach was still alive we saw it move and it did blend in with the food.

BEWARE!! The food is good but the way they charge is shady I went 2 different times and ordered the same thing and got charged different both times and both times it was a different female! So BEWARE and check the prices!!! $30 for 2 Medium boxes, nothing fancy or extras y'all. The receipt doesn't show you what they charge you for either!

Been going to Kwons for over a decade. The place is low key in the hood. Straight to business. Zero fanciness and I don't have to impress anyone but my belly.

The food was nasty and old, the orange rice was dry old and tasteless with no no no sauce, the rice was old and the noodles were all soggy, just a flat out rip off. I gave away 30 bucks on that trash today.

Been coming here for over 15 years. Great food. Always satisfied and usually ready in about 15 mins.

Best fried rice ever! If you haven't tried it ,what are you waiting for???! It's a hole in the wall restaurant but that's where the magic happens!

This has been one of my favorite 'hole-in-the-wall' restaurants for years. I haven't ben in a while. But at my most recent visit last month it was evident that the quality of the business has declined. The restaurant was messy and looked dirty. The area behind the counter looked unkept and disorganized. If what's visible to the customer is lacking, I can onlybimagine the conditions of the kitchen or areas we cannot see. Food: The chilli sauce was watered down and lacked flavor as if it water was added to it to make it stretch. In the past, it was a vibrant red, thick in texture, and really spicy. Typically, I cannot eat spicy foods and will only put a tiny drop in my rice for flsvor. This time I had to use the entire cup and it stll meeded more/help. Nonetheless, the food was still good and I will likely go back. I just try not to think of this visuals when I'm eating my food.

I Always order shrimp chowmein with extra shrimp. Servings are big portions. Service always fast. Price is great too. Location not my favorite but I always do the 20 min drive because it's worth it

Love the food! Been going for years!!! The fried rice is my favorite with shrimp, pork and beef!!

I love here, I used to go here when I was in College the taste is still great!! Their service is awesome very friendly~ Any food here is great~ Inside is bit small but still great place to eat out.

Good food & value, but neighborhood is a bit rough & parking is limited. I recommend take out. Seating is limited & restaurant is usually crowded.

Foods been great for years, just wish they'd put more meat in the fried rice. Service was good. Ambiance is boring and bland though.

Been coming here for the fried rice for so many years. It's always great. I always get the same ham and beef fried rice. The hot sauce just makes it so much better.

No frills, good deals. If the food is in the Hood, it's gonna be good. First time trying Kwons, not disappointed. The prices and portions are good the food is kind of what you'd expect. The place was clean, there was parking, staff were helpful and friendly. I'd definitely go back again.

I haven't been in five years and I have been wanting to go back for so long and it did not disappoint. Amazing the best fried rice on the planet and I will be going back more often now.

The best place for 27 + years the chicken fried rice is so good and our favorite dish specially with extra chicken those bean sprouts and green onions

I've been going here for over 34 years! The best fried rice in town! Everything is delicious. It's a hole in the wall yet I wouldn't want it any other way.

My family and I have been going to Kwon's for a very long time. Food is great, with lots of variety in different combos. The service is quick and always polite. Ambiance is good; we prefer to just pick up and go home, though it's just a personal preference.

Hubs been mentioning about this Chinese restaurant that is known supposedly for their superb fried rice. He brought it up after getting his 1st vaccine of Pfizer at the Cal Poly Pomona campus. Went there finally after his 2nd dose to pick up to go. The fried rice was flavorful indeed just that the chicken meat was a bit dry along w the shrimp. Also as per other yelpers. There was about 5-6 pieces of shrimp and the chicken meat was different variety size of chopped up pieces. My husband said it is definitely a hole in a wall place and he probably wouldn't go back. My middle son who's picky with food loved it though. The box is a pretty decent size. Like half the size of a standard Chinese to go box combo. The depth is pretty good. Which gives you plenty of portion of fried rice.

Located a few miles east of cal poly Pomona, it is a hidden gem and definitely worth the drive! They have the best fried rice. Portions are ginormous. You can easily share the plate with a buddy and still have leftovers!!!!

My family and I have been coming here for years theres not one complain the food is always as good as always we currently moved to a different city and yet we will drive just to come eat here the best

Food was amazing service was great. People say the location is sketch but I was born and raised in Pomona I've been is worse areas than this

Been coming here since 2002 before it was under new management it was always good and never had a bad experience. I only get the chicken fried rice FYI. After the change in ownership it was nice to see they didn't change the recipe. When I'm in the area I always stop by.

Not a great looking place. But the food is good. They give you lots. Been eating her for 30+ years. So Obviously it's Good.

Food is simple and delicious. Service has always been great and its just a great place . You go in order and make it for you fresh ..Always yummy

The only positive was the amount of food for the price, considering today's prices. The food was salty and the rice was hard and clumpy. It was a one and done for me. I will not return.

I work in the general area maybe 10-15 drive and when I told co workers I had never been here they said I have to try it. I'll be honest and say the area is a lil sketch but the food was worth it. They are located in a strip mall and parking can be tight. Lock your doors ha ha no really though. I've been several times and based on recommendations I always get the fried rice. I call ahead since often for lunch breaks. The portions are large and so I always have leftovers for a 2nd meal basically. They run pretty efficiently so you can generally get in and out pretty quick. Service is pretty good which is great considering they volume- they have a lot of customers. I've typically gone mid day around lunch hour. Give them a try if you've never been.

Longtime faithful patron of Kwon's. When we first discovered this little gem ten years ago, it resembled more an "ugly duckling" than viable place for a great meal. Fact is, for many years the building stood with no signage other than "Chinese Food" in large block letters! So while Kwon's will never be confused with the more aesthetically pleasing, swankier establishments in the Chinatowns of LA or San Francisco, they turn out a never ending procession of fried rice and chow mein dishes, done almost perfectly. The chow mein comes in large, ungainly Styrofoam boxes crammed with approximately three pounds of glistening, thick noodles, slivered celery, carrots and scallions and your protein of choice. While I personally prefer the skinnier noodle that most Chinese restaurants utilize, my wife and kids love Kwon's take on chow mein. We usually choose shrimp or chicken, double meat. Did I mention the fried rice?! Kwon's fried rice is served in the same 3lb Styrofoam vats large enough to easily feed 2-3 persons, with leftovers. The fried rice is substantial, griddled to a golden crisp and served with copious amounts of alfalfa sprouts and scallions alongside your choice of protein. For our money, we choose the chicken fried rice, double meat. We top it with liberal amounts of their provided hot sauce and believe me when I say that one order each of chicken chow mein & chicken fried rice (both double meat) will effortlessly fill up your Family of four or five, with leftovers. Don't be surprised if you find yourself drifting off into a carbohydrate-fueled nap 25 minutes after demolishing your fried rice!! You've been warned- three vital tips for successful meal at Kwons: 1.) Call your order in ahead of time to avoid the steady rush of customers; 2.) Order the double meat chow mein + fried rice ($20 will feed four or five persons, w/ leftovers) 3.) Put your car alarm on, as it's situated in one of Pomona's grittier climates. Bon apetit, Yelpers!!

Food is good. sometimes the customer service needs a little Help. We stop once in a while and get chicken chow main.

I've been coming to this place for years. They have always maintained the same fried rice. This place has the best fried rice I ever had.

Really bad service the señora cashier that says she is the manager is very rude and always mean mugs me when i go because I returned some food and she didn't want to do a refund she kept telling me nothing was wrong even though i told her the rice was really hard and stuck together and they over did it with the soy sauce. She kept arguing and trying to get all up in my face. Watch out for her when you go and don't take her shit. The outside is tagged and the tables are usually dirty, but i always buy to go anyways.

When I lived in Pomona this was the spot to eat Chinese food. It's under new management now. The staff at the register was not friendly. I think her son was asleep at one of the booths. But the taste of the food was not that good. It was dry and didn't have a lot of flavor. I order the shrimp fried rice. There were a few pieces of shrimp. And chicken chow main. It's sad that this establishment has went down hill. I will not be back. The worst part is all the crack heads outside. I took my order to go.

The food here is always great. I personally don't have a problem with it. If your picky than this is not the spot for you. If your too fancy for here this is not for you. You want something quick and fulfilling or new than I highly recommend you to stop by. Service here is great you will get your food on time if you call ahead of time. The ambiance around this place is cool.. might run into a homeless man/woman by the entrance other than that give this place a chance.

We have been coming to Kwons since the 90's! When we worked at general Dynamics, that was In The mid 80's An we will drive from Fontana to go get there rice !! After they sold , though it's still good ! We still go there , but something is missing, I can remember back then , I'd order the food , take it home an on the way home , the smell was driving me crazy , hard for me not to stop an take a bite , the smell was amazing , that flavor ! Was the best !! Now that the new Owners, it's changed a bit , there is something missing , the flavor is just not the same ! Think the previous owners left one little ingredient of the recipe, an it make's a difference with us ! Although we still go there an enjoy it , but it's just missing something ! Anyone else experienced this !!

Typically hole in the wall restaurants are good but not this one. I'm really disappointed by their quality of food. I got the chicken and shrimp fried rice which literally had no flavor and lacked seasoning. The chicken and shrimp was pan seared dry.. dry and hard! You can tell the meat was cook separately and place on top of the rice. I saw the cook only drench the rice with just soy sauce. The chicken egg roll wasn't anything special either. It taste like the Jack in the Box egg roll but with noodles. Aside from that, the cleanliness of the restaurant was not up to par at all. A lot of cross contamination from handling the food and register was all bad by the girl at the counter.

Kwon's Restaurant was an establishment I didn't even know existed prior to the age of COVID...in the past, when I went to get Chinese food, I usually headed west of where I live and not east. But a food delivery app made me aware of this place and I decided to give it a shot, so I ordered chicken fried noodles, chicken fried rice, and a side of orange chicken. The verdict? Kwon's Restaurant is definitely the most bang for the buck Chinese fast food I've ever had. The portions are generous, delicious and filling and the food isn't greasy or saucy and does not skimp out on toppings if you were to order the fried rice or noodles. I particularly like their orange chicken because it isn't as, as I mentioned previously, saucy.

Went to Kwons yesterday for the first time in awhile. I ordered shrimp fried rice and it was bomb. They actually put more shrimp in the rice now. Before they would only give you like 5 small shrimp. But I had more yesterday. I hope it stays like that. They give you a bunch of rice but only a few little shrimp.

This is the BEST place for Chinese food in Pomona. Trust me. I'm Chinese..! (: They do take out, and they're quick with putting together orders. Regardless of the situation though, this place is awesome for a bite. Portions have been consistently generous and well-priced over the years whenever my family would order food, despite inflation and any local changes. My favorite items to order are the chicken egg roll, orange chicken, and combination fried rice. Normally, orange chicken batter is too heavy for me but that wasn't the case here. Highly recommend you give it a try, and thank me later.

Came to this restaurant with high hopes & expectations as 2 of my friends had highly recommended this place. Location, not the best, thought maybe we turned in the wrong left. It's in the corner but the donuts kinda over power the spot. Inside, very small. Maybe 8-10 tables? Not too sure as there were 3 families and the rest of the chairs were already placed on the tables. Menus on the wall were nice and big. Still kinda weirded out there was no "sweet and sour pork" but maybe I didn't read it correctly. If so, my bad. Service, not so great. I get it, we came in 20 minutes before closing. But holy moley... my niece goes to order and the cashier tells her "this order is going to be to go, we close in 15 minutes." Um... okay.... awkward. Already I'm feeling the lack of customer service. When it's my turn, I decided on a couple of items, as I was hungry and I knew I should get some for my husband as the lady already stated it's "to go". Brought food home. Smelled nice. Opened the containers to find very packed styrofoam packages with food. LOOKED GOOD. That's probably the only "GOOD" this place will get. I personally, like to serve myself due to if I don't finish, I can save for lunch or I can give it to my husband. I had a lot of food. I didn't realize I was ordering like 5 plates. I mean yeah, we usually have about 3 containers but this was quite the handful. We sat down to eat. Served ourselves a bit of everything we ordered. My niece runs to the restroom a bit later. Her fiancé is just moving the food around. I asked what's wrong? He said "this is the worst Chinese food I've ever had." My Niece was sick from it. And then so was he. So much for trying to get some good food as a 'Welcome to Cali!!' When my husband had it for dinner. He tried it and then just threw it away. Not knowing both my niece and her fiancé got sick from the same food. All in all, never going back. Not a great experience. Over priced for not eatable food that will make you sick. Would NOT recommend.
