In her latest iteration, Margaret Kuo successfully harmonized classic Chinese cuisine with with nouveau Asia. The modern interior creates a stylish atmosphere while also rendering an eclectic and comfortable experience. The outdoor patio which hugs the corner of the restaurant is an inviting space while maintaining a sense of inclusiveness with the interior. It is a reincarnation of her Peking restaurant and more.

    Remains our “go-to” restaurant of choice when visiting the area, with the drive if you’re not around here. Outstanding gourmet Chinese cuisine from many regions, impeccable service and ambiance too. Highly highly recommend!

    Nice ambience. People were very friendly. We had two problems with our meal. The first was with our soup dumplings. The first batch that they sent out were stuck to the paper in the steamer and we were not able to remove them without tearing the wrapper and the soup leaking out. We asked the waiter for suggestions, in case we were doing it wrong. They offered to bring another batch, which were better…and delicious! The other problem we had was with my husband’s meal. He ordered a dish and my husband was cautioned by the waiter that it tends to be spicy. So my husband requested “mild spice.“. I’m not sure what they consider to be mild but there were nine chili peppers used in the making of his meal and my husband was sweating buckets. He had to stop eating it, and he likes spice. Because we had already asked for assistance with one item, we didn’t feel like we could be “those people” and say something again. Besides my husband’s meal, all the food they brought out to us tasted delicious. It was just disappointing, for the price we paid for the entrée that it was inedible.  we went for our anniversary and they gave us courtesy sorbet, which also was yummy.  one other thing is that the service was somewhat slow. It seemed as though there was really only one waiter and bus boy working the entire room. One family next to us got fed up and left before they places their order. We weren’t in a rush so it didn’t really affect us.

    We went to celebrate my daughter's birthday. We were sat at a table where there was a lot of traffic to the outside patio. It took a while for the server to take our order, but she was very attentive afterwards. The food was great. We wanted the fried ice cream and we were told they didn't have it. It was disappointing. We ordered a slice of cake, but it was not fully thawed. Overall, I will come back as the food and service was good, but will not celebrate any landmark birthdays here.

    Food was relatively tasteless, and the pork with anise was overly fatty, greasy and gamey. The cocktails (emperor and sake pear martini) were not good...the server replaced one of the drinks with a lychee martini which was better. The service was good, the restaurant was clean and open, but the seats were uncomfortable...I was seated on the crack between two bench cushions and my partner's cloth chair was stained and dirty. Overall, we were pretty unhappy with the evening especially given the prices we paid for tasteless food and poorly mixed drinks.

    This brought back wonderful memories of the once Peking Resturant in the Granite Run Mall in the 70's. We spoke wih Margaret Kau herself as she was there overseeing the newest of her resturants here in the Promenade at Granite Run. She said it opened 3 months before Covid hit and is still feeing the pains of that time. We had a lovely meal, I had Peking Duck. always a favorite of mine. We will be going back soon. If you like any of Margaret's resturants, you'll like this one too. Behind the shops near Boskov's. Find it and say hello to Margaret, she is a legend. You'll be happy you did.

    we had a table for four and everybody’s meal was excellent. Margaret Kuo herself was in the restaurant, and I don’t know if she caused it but the service was excellent also. The man in  the other couple knew Margaret personally it was a very good experience. We hope to go back soon.

    We were seated promptly, and then waited about 15 minutes for someone to come and take our drink order. Our soup arrived before our drinks did, and then our meals came very shortly after. Our waiter was very pleasant but seemed to be a little overwhelmed. Overall the food is fantastic and it's a wonderful new venue for Margaret Kuo's!

    We stopped in Media on the way to our home in Avondale from Downtown Philly. We were seated promptly and attended to by an efficient and knowledgeable waiter. His service was excellent. We tried the famous scallion pancakes which were the best we’ve had anywhere. The Tangerine Three Delight with shrimp, scallops and chicken with a tasty sauce was excellent and the serving was enough for two people. The Chong Du Shrimp ( shrimp and asparagus was also good and enough to serve two as well. We also tried the Singapore Noodles because we’ve never had them before. Their quality was tasty as well. If Margaret Kuo’s wasn’t 23 miles from home I’d go back often! Tonight’s dinner will be the leftovers from last night!

    While the food quality is always good, the service experience was well below what it once was. We were a bit dumbstruck by how irrelevant we were as patrons of the restaurant - Have a seat, take the order, here’s your food, here’s your check. My only conclusion is that they are terribly understaffed.

    I am not sure what has happened but the service levels of this restaurant has plummeted. MK has always been a great place to dine. But the last two times have been terrible. We had the experience of being 4 bodies escorted to a table where the job was to get food to the table vs being cared for as loyal patrons. We walked out and decided we need to find a replacement when we want fine Chinese cuisine.

    I’ve had better (larger portion and more flaky) Chilean bass (although the ginger sauce was good) and my son said his kung pao chicken was extremely spicy. Our other orders were tasty though (egg rolls and jasmine rice with shrimp. Will come back to try other dishes and sushi next time.
