| - Other reviews seem to be all over the place. My daughter and I went to Kwan's last week, on a Thursday night. They weren't busy, but the people who were there seemed to be enjoying their dinners. We ordered the house special lo mien, house special fried rice, mu shu pork, and shrimp with snow peas. Daughter also ordered won ton soup and fried won ton, and I ordered hot and sour soup, and of course we got the usual white rice.
We didn't touch the white rice at all. The won ton soup went down quickly, the hot and sour was quite sour and quite hot and had the surprise of some rather large pieces of chicken in it - a first for me.
The dishes came out one at a time but close enough together that we didn't finish one before the next one. The lo mien and fried rice were good; the shrimp with snow peas was excellent, and the mu shu pork came already wrapped in the pancakes - four fat pancakes full of excellent mu shu pork and lots of plum sauce. We ate until we were satisfied and brought home enough food for one more meal each and one more round of rice and lo mien. It was pretty yummy.
I agree that the decor is straight out of the 60s, and this is the kind of Chinese food that I learned to like when I was 20--that's a lot of years ago. Good stuff.
I'll go back whenever I'm in Mesa, Hubby doesn't like Oriental food so I have to get my fill whenever and wherever I can---Kwan's did its job this time.
Prices are moderate, parking is at the door, the wait staff is friendly and not intrusive. I like this place,
