About this business
Kung Pao Bistro is an American-Chinese restaurant in West Hollywood. We blend traditional and modern flavors for a dynamic, new take on Asian-American cuisine. Kung Pao Bistro specializes in traditional dishes of China and Taiwan, but the chef and owner's travels have also influenced our menu to incorporate Thai, Japanese, Singaporean, and American flavors. One of our original dishes, Robot Chicken, was even used as the inspiration for the name of the show on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim. Along with an extensive food menu, w... read more

best Chinese in the neighborhood – Always enjoy going there whether to take out, or to sit down. Primarily I go there to take out, but have enjoyed many a lunch or dinner there. Very laid back atmosphere. Staff are always friendly and ask how I'm doing, etc. The food is great and they have indicators on the menu for health conscious eaters and spicy foods. The West Hollywood Wonton soup is a favorite of mine as are the Black Pepper chicken, and the BBQ pork Lo Mein.
BAD SERVICE= AVOID UNLESS NO OTHER OPTIONS – It pisses me off to have to write this because frankly, this place makes good food and usually has good service. I bring about 20-30 people with me to eat there on Sunday nights at 9pm and we all are courteous and tip well. Tonight, the waitresses accidentally threw away at least a meal that was left from my dining... and I wanted to take it home. I understand... this happens. So I asked the manager guy if I could get a comp for a future meal since my meal was thrown away. Rather ... read more
great won ton soup Great place - I love the West Hollywood Won Ton Soup. They deliver, too, so it's definitely worth checking out. Affordable.
Stay away at all costs. Plenty of other choices nearby! – Wow. Unreal. Got take out tonight. Usually order from another place in the hood but thought i would give Kung Pao a try. it was the worst chinese food i have eaten in my life. As a cook myself i recognize old food when v see it and man, i'm telling you, i've seen fresher looking food under heat lamps on a chinese lunch buffet at 3pm. Rice had to be day old. i could tell it was fluffed up with water and tasted very stale. Beef was old too. Even the sauce covering could... read more
Is that really made from tofu? This place is awesome. Parking might be a problem especially at night when everyone is going to the Whole Foods adjacent to the restaurant. The place is simple, yet the food is delicious. I went there specifically for their vegetarian menu. Ordered the veggie orange chicken. Yummy! Couldn't tell its made out of tofu. And they're shaped like little drumettes! Healthy and tasty!
Consistently HORRIBLE FOOD – I live around the corner from Kung Pao, and it's usually doing pretty good business, so after swearing never to order food from there again after the last few times, I caved-in and ordered Combo Fried Rice as well as Shrimp with Lobster Sauce. GROSS! I got home and opened the Shrimp with NOT Lobster Sauce At All. Usually, lobster sauce is a sort of white and eggy sauce, but this was a brown meat broth, lacking any flavor other than salt and soy with water. It was filled with peas that were RAW, a... read more
Aviod! Aviod! Avoid! For the love of god, avoid!! – My first and only experience with this place -- When our food arrived, we realized that instead of the chicken dumplings we ordered, the restaurant had given us crab rangoon. No biggie, right? Wrong! We called the restaurant and after much discussion (and headache), they agreed to send us the chicken dumpling they had forgotten. Whatever, everyone makes mistakes. While waiting for the dumplings to arrive, we figured we would eat the corn soup. Unfortunately, when we opened ... read more
Tasteless food that leaves you unstatisfied – My roommate and I ordered delivery from Kung Pao. As food enthusiasts, we were very disappointed in the results. The food just was not good. The pan-fried chicken dumplings were so lacking in filling that they were almost flat. The vegetable moo shu was bitter and unsavoringly sweet, a gray mass studded with undercooked, shredded carrots. The rice papers that accompanied it were flavorless and dry. The chicken chow fun was a mound of overcooked, squishy noddles that were flavorle... read more
Chinese delivery that is both tasty and healthy (yes, its possible) – We moved to LA from NY, and really missed our chinese delivery... found this place on Citysearch, and took our chances - and it was the best choice! we order from there at least once a week now. This is chinese food from people who actually try to cook healthy. the classic dishes we order (chicken broccoli and steamed dumplings) taste fresh and while flavorful are not overly fried or spiced. We tried a few different classics, and they are always good. Soup... read more
