Kwans Chinese Restaurant in Scottish Borders

Often go to kwans but very disappointed in quality of there chips have been very poor dry and hard every time the last few month

Best Chinese take away in town, all the girls at the front desk are very polite.

Excellent service and great food.

Awesome service, better food. The crispy chicken dumplings are amazing.

Delicious food, ordered and collected in 20 mins, piping hot and tasty, nice friendly girls at reception. We were staying in Kelso for our holiday and loved the food from Kwan's.

Can be hit or miss to be honest. Often greasy but can also be lovely. Worth trying for yourself anyway.

This one is tough to review. The wonton soup is fragrant and delicious, the battered chicken with sweet and sour sauce is crispy, juicy and succulent and well seasoned, the prawns in satay sauce were gorgeous and all dishes seem to come with a healthybalanceofveggies. The beef in Blackbean sauce was OK but we think let the side down (either that or the prawn crackers) as several of us had loose bowels after consumption. Highly Recommend the chef reduces the menu choices massively and focuses on authentic Chinese dishes ensuring fresh ingredients in a clean kitchen are always used. The cooking is too good to be undermined like this.

Great Chinese we asked if could deliver to our motorhome food was hot plentiful and tasty spot on

Strange times, COVID restrictions in place remember. I phoned at 1833hrs (there's a fb page but no online ordering) and asked for beef curry fried rice, special curry boiled rice and rice & chips with sweet and sour sauce so nothing weird. The chap told me 40 minutes but I realised when walking round it was cash only (£20.12) and I only had contactless or a card so returned for the folding stuff putting me comfortably over the 40 minutes.On arrival the shop was pretty packed, with a more or less orderly queue of bodies outside except for a throng at the door. I went straight in to collect my food and when at the counter alas!...not ready, but they kindly relieved me of the money and sent me outside to the cold, dark and drizzly night. The next 20 minutes dragged by before being called forward to collect my food at the still throngy door. Some had brought vehicles and sat listening to Radio 3 Live from the Met with demisters and engines running on a narrow street with people occasionally spilling onto the roadway-as the weather worsens so will this aspect of carry out food while-you-wait.The food is still tasty, I especially like the cut and texture of the onions, all correct, no complaints. Just need more planning the next time. Or the server to be realistic with a pick up time. Maybe they only start cooking once you've paid and are definitely there, but you'd never get them to tell you this anyway, my conjecture only.

Had an excellent meal from here. Chicken was nice, and the sauce was just right. Plenty of chips too! Would go back.
