I come here often enough to warrant far more than a 3-star review but there is something slightly uncomfortable about awarding four precious yelp stars to a place that is (1) grungy enough to make you cringe when you walk in, (2) greasy enough to make you want to take a postprandial nap at the chipped linoleum table, (3) basic enough to find almost anywhere else, and (4) a place that would never, ever cross a foodie's list of 'must-go-to's.
Still, sometimes, grungy, greasy, basic, and non-foodie is exactly what you need.
Bare confession: Kan Wah is on my speed dial, right alongside my man, my family, and 911. For nearly a decade, this Chinese takeout fare has been my proverbial tub of ice cream during every messy heartbreak, the indulgence that broke multiple diets, and the easy fix for every night I didn't feel like cooking. The portions are great, the prices have seen very little upward movement, and they've added a new combination plate menu that gets you popular entree + fried rice + egg roll for no more than $8. I'm also quite fond of their vegetable chow fun, which is devoid of the usual garbage fillers (water chestnuts, I'm looking at you here) and General Tso's tofu, which hits all the right spicy notes. Broccoli with garlic sauce is a little on the sweeter side than other places, but also a dependable go-to. My family is also a big fan of their beef and broccoli, sesame chicken, and shrimp with garlic sauce. Order enough and you get certain freebies like free drinks (or, as we recently scored during our last $30+ delivery order, a free entree). No one's ever gotten sick, food poisoning, or found strange things in their food and the only negative aftereffect we've ever had to deal with is the poundage gained from scarfing down all that takeout.
Dining in is a risky and sometimes uncomfortable affair. During the colder months, the heat isn't on, and it's usually too hot to dine in during the summer because the a/c seems to be just for decoration (might be how they keep the food costs down), but there are three old booths there if you need a place to nosh. When we place orders for delivery, the guys usually makes it to our door within the half hour (and they've come to our doorstep so often that they hardly need to ring the doorbell) with all the politeness and cheerfulness you'd want but wouldn't expect.
We order from them for our local take-out and delivery Chinese food. "A" rating is one reason & they deliver fast, even during busy times, never more than 30 min. Food is good, never a problem so far.
