What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Pau's Asian Kitchen garners praise for its generous portions, reasonable prices, and authentic flavors, particularly dishes with excellent 'wok-hei'. While many enjoy the fresh ingredients and friendly service, some reviews note inconsistency in spice levels and preparation, with one mentioning a concerning experience with General Tso's chicken. The casual strip mall setting is noted as having limited atmosphere but maintains cleanliness.
"My wife wanted Chinese food for lunch so we pulled into this little gem unknown to us just how delightful and quaint this experience would be.
The hostess was very polite and accommodating. She even gifted my toddler with a complimentary plushy bear!
The food was a wonderful surprise, we ordered the broccoli beef, my wife's favorite, the beef was cooked perfectly, flavorful and tender. The veggies were as well, not over cooked. I ordered the General Tao's chicken. The sauce was thick and flavorful. The breading was the best part! The breading was light and crispy, not thick and doey. We also ordered pots tickers. Everything was same day fresh and very affordable. Absolutely delicious and we will certainly be back another time."

"The dinner portions were big, and everything was fresh. Prices are reasonable, and the wait wasn't bad at all. The hot and sour soup really hit the spot; I've been craving a good bowl of it, and I was so glad I came here. The entrées had phenomenal wok-hei, and the veggies were cut so that they had the right balance of crunch, flavor, and tenderness. I will come back here to eat next time I'm in the area!"

"There are so many bad reviews and I’m glad I didn’t let them keep me away! The food is very delicious and tastes fresh and authentic, not that I have been to china! John was so kind and helpful! We just moved here in august and we keep trying Chinese restaurants and they have been terrible with weird brown sauces on orange chicken and Pau’s is finally the winner for beautiful flavor and light and crispy chicken! The plain fries rice is light and delicious too!!! It’s just a little shop in a strip mall so no major atmosphere but still clean."
