Best Chinese food in town. Food were properly seasoned and freshly made. Authentic shanghai dim sum! We had been here couple of times and we enjoyed every visit. The weekday lunchbox is a plus. A lot of things to chose from and price is just fine. The downside? They could have turn the AC a little cooler. It was too warm sometimes in the afternoon when we went there. Since it is a family owned business (I think) they seem to have only one server, I would expect longer waiting time in busy hours. Overall, we do love this place and this is our first choice Chinese restaurant in town.
I order from here regularly. They have many good dishes.
I dined here during lunch and had one of their noodle soups. While it wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either. If I have no other options and I am on campus, I might eat here again? But if not, I probably won't come here for their noodle soups again.
This is the only place in C-U where I’ve found xiao long bao. Their soup dumplings are pretty good and at a reasonable price for such tasty broth inside. Service is average overall, but really good if you are taken care of by the owner(?)—she made sure I knew how to eat them properly and was very kind. The building is a dead zone for cell reception, and not all of my utensils were properly cleaned, but I still plan to return regularly for the dumplings.
The kbbq here is very sparse. There's only like 6 choices of meat and they all aren't very fresh. Very mediocre Korean BBQ. I haven't had their hot pot but it's probably better. Their normal cooked food is not bad. I like their scallion pancake with beef.
Honestly this restaurant has some of the worst service I have ever seen. Firstly I do not recommend every going to Kung Fu BBQ, but if for some reason you are crazy enough to go, I recommend you bring a pillow and blanket because you will be waiting a long time. I waited for 2 HOURS for my food to arrive, and wasn't even addressed by anyone at the restaurant until after 30 minutes of standing at the entrance. FYI the food was also not the best. I wouldn't even be that mad about the 2 hrs wait and bad food if the restaurant management was at least kind and polite, but unfortunately they can't seem to do anything right. They were extremely rude to my friends and I as well, which is why I'm having to write this review. I would not recommend Kung Fu BBQ to anyone, even someone I don't like.
Their food is definitely leaning more towards quality over price, though not to say that it's extraordinarily expensive or something. If you show how you can actually appreciate the quality of their food the owner will be very easy to get friendly with :P Anyways, their dim sum is most likely the best in the area (I used probably most likely because maybe I haven't tried every single place yet), especially their Xiao Longbao, which would be among the better ranks even in China. Their noodles definitely feels in-house with more effort going into it, as it's got that snap and elasticity of something kneaded extensively. Also, while not on their menu due to low order volume, you can custom order Mantou (馒头) and stuff (pictures on my takeout order, and please forget the bad lighting), and theirs is most definitely the best in the area (they claim you can't find better ones even in Chicago, but I'll reserve my opinion on that claim since I haven't explored Chicago for these types of things). Chinese might find them expensive compared to the prices in China, but they are definitely of high quality and worth the price when using an American price standard. They have a very dense and even spread of small bubbles inside, giving it a very good texture. Just one example for the effort that they put into their food.
