Food is delicious however is on the expensive side and portion sizes are not very good

A delight that they are open again and in house dining- the takeaway is good, but dining at the restaurant is always a wonderful experience. Excellent food, friendly staff and amazing new decor.

Called up to make a booking and lady was blunt and rude asked credit card number on the phone to pay £50 deposit to confirm the booking or asking to come in before once to pay the deposit, super desperate for business and broke for funds it seems, this place should be avoided at any cost for their unprofessional attitude as they will be out of business soon, what a pathetic experience on the phone itself, lucky we didn’t have the misfortune to attend this sick place.

The food here is absolutely a cut above normal Chinese fare and even tips over into fine dining territory but this is reflected in the prices, which are slightly eye-watering, especially the wine list. You have to wonder how many £800 bottles of champagne they shift. Still, the decor is appealingly quirky, the staff are friendly and on-point, and the dishes wonderfully tasty and incredibly moreish. It's just a shame we had to declare bankruptcy after a single course. Lol.

So glad the restaurant has finally re opened, the food here is absolutely gorgeous and the owners should be very proud for maintaining such high standards for so many years, This Chinese really does stand out from other places throughout Kent. Take aways and the restaurant is just spectacular.

I have been using Kudos for many years , great place and food has always been amazing 100% the best in town , but as a regular customer i am glad the restaurant has reopened but i am very disappointed that there is no chance to get a takeaway Friday or Saturday as this is the only time the restaurant is open , surely this is when people want takeaways ? I hope that once the restaurant settles the weekend takeaways start again.

My first visit but only for a takeaway. Wow - wonderful decor and a bar for a drink while I waited! Can honestly say it was the best Chinese food We have ever had in Canterbury. Will be back

Very friendly and fast service. We wanted to dine in but the restaurant is under renovation so they were only doing takeaway. We are visiting from the States and I had heard Chinese food is very different in England. So I played it safe and ordered sweet and sour chicken. It was delicious and very much like I have had at home except cleaner and fresher tasting. I should have gotten a side of rice to go with. Hubby got cashew chicken and special fried rice. He didn't love it as much as my choice. The special rice was very good and fresh but we kind of missed the onion, garlic and soy sauce but I'll bet there isn't any other place nearby that does it better. Would gladly go back again. If you are a big eater get an extra entre or side. Good value for the price though. The French music playing in the lobby was fun but the volume was too loud.

Well done take out. Everything was fresh and hot and tasted great.

Good food (have ordered before from inside the shop) BUT prioritises telephone call orders over counter service. The lady spoke to us through a beaded curtain and stated that we should sit down and she would come to us when she was ready. She then preceeded to take 3 telephone call orders and expected us to continue waiting until such time as the phone stopped ringing. I understand the financial implications (2 customers will order less than 3/4/5 telephone orders but surely when you phone a popular take away you are not anticipating having your call answered first time / immediately. If you enjoy the food you call back in 5 mins... no big deal. If, on the other hand, you happen to go to buy your food in person, it is wrong to assume that they have more time to sit around waiting than someone at home (probably watching Saturday evening TV) calling an order through does. It was poor judgement as we'd been given menus and chosen our 5/6 selections so it would have taken less than a minute for her to place our order. Needless to say we left and went to The New Far East, a small family run traditional take away where me and my partner had great fun being entertained by little Jason who invited us to play with his small wooden Orca (killer whal) 2 cars and a transformer toy. Both he and his mum were an absolute joy despite having to take telephone orders on a busy Saturday night.
Our meal was delivered to our home. It arrived on time and was hot. The food was first class, some of the best Chinese food we have had anywhere. Portions were very adequate, well cooked and full of flavour. The king prawn dish had a good number of prawns with lovely sauce. Overall, we were very satisfied with our experience of Kudos. from ordering to real enjoyment of quality Chinese food. Price a little more than some restaurants but appropriate for the quality and quantity of the food. Two very satisfied customers.

Take away review - We loved the food. The medium spicy salt & pepper squid was very very good, best we have had in Europe.All other dishes were good also.Best Asian food in Canterbury we have had.We will be back for sure.

We have ordered 2 delivery meals from Kudos in the last couple of weeks - we had our first one last week which we were so impressed by that went for it again this week with friends: the food is very tasty, freshly cooked and just downright delicious: so glad to have found quality Chinese food here in Canterbury

Good Chinese food. Not too oily & not too salty. Just right. Reasonable price for take away Friendly service. Quick service (Tuesday night)

We’ve been customers of Kudos since the ‘80s and it’s always been a family treat as it’s not cheap - however their portions have become increasingly mean and their attitude increasingly poor. Our last few orders have been missing dishes and/or sauces and instead of apology you get arrogance & rudeness. Such a shame. It’s really not worth the £££
