We arrived with six people, excited for the king crab feast for our group. We pointed it out on the menu, but somehow the waiter tried to convince us to order just the king crab two ways, which was pricier than the feast option. Thankfully, we caught her before she had the crab cooked. The food was solid, easily a 4 out of 5. Our favorites were the Lobster Mountain and the steamed garlic sauce king crab legs. The quail was surprisingly good, even though it looked a bit dry. The soup didn't quite live up to expectations, and for some reason, we never received our dessert at the end of the meal. Service was inconsistent. The initial server was rather frustrating, repeatedly insisting we wanted the two-way Alaskan king crab instead of the feast. It was clear that we would pay the same amount for much less food. She also hardly refilled our water unless we flagged her down. Fortunately, we eventually had a wonderful older gentleman attend to us, and he was incredibly friendly. I would definitely return, but if I ended up with the same server, I'd think twice. Overall, the prices were justified considering the amount of food we received. read more

Came in around 10:50am and food was disappointing . Food options were limited compared to other dim sums and when we asked for more selections they said to wait but yet still nothing. Shrimp ha gow wrapper was so thick I felt like I was eating gum. The sticky rice was gummy and chicken was dry as jerky. Shu mai, rice rolls and lava buns were the only ones that was good. We had hot tea and we're charged 2.99$ for rocky sugar which is a first for me. Had to grab our own napkins and refill our own water after asking staff multiplied times before. There's definitely more but this is the highlight from my experience. Hopefully you experience is better Thanks for reading read more

Fung's Kitchen - Bottom tier quality dim sum - Dim Sum Near Me - Houston, Texas

Very loud but typically for a push cart dimsum place. They have a buffet self serve in the back but didn't look too appetizing to me

My family has been coming here for years around Christmas time to celebrate. Every time they've been exceptional but this particular past Christmas was beyond phenomenal and really stood out for the tremendous service and options. A king crab meal fit for a king anyone? Atmosphere: Modern style Chinese restaurant, complete with nice decor. However, if you are throwing a party or a private event, there is a much fancier area complete with glass and jade decor that really gives a much more higher end type of vibe. Food: My last visit my family got the full king crab service. Beyond delectable and quite the experience. All dishes come out with a helping of crab cooked in different ways. My favorite being the King Crab Fried rice, followed up by the garlic glazed legs. I was amazed with how many ways a king crab can be served in such different dishes but all from the same service. Service: Stated above, my last service for King Crab was beyond amazing. Yvonne, our server really went above and beyond to make sure my family was attended too. She brought out the King Crab and even let the family take pictures and hold it. Not just for comical reasons but also to weigh the crab and make sure we were happy with our choice. Fung's isn't just great for a celebration, but also any reason to get great chinese food. The menu is large but every dish I've had, I've been happy with and would gladly return again. read more

Recently had dim sum here with a party of 23 for my mom's birthday and it was a hit! The food was delicious and there were plenty of carts going around to choose from. There was also a buffet of select items that you could order from as well as the regular menu. There aren't a ton of vegetarian options on the dim sum menu so just be aware of that. But you can easily order vegetarian options on the regular menu. The restaurant was very busy, but wasn't too hard to flag down our waiter. Would definitely recommend for a fun brunch experience with delicious food! read more

Fung's Kitchen - Our spread - Dim Sum Near Me - Houston, Texas

Hit this place up for a big family dinner- did not disappoint! Their lobster tower is killer. We probably had 7 or 8 dishes and all of them were really good. Everything is family style so if don't like sharing amongst friends and family, then go elsewhere haha. Service was good- like I said, we had a large group (14-15 people) and they managed to make it work for us and were attentive the whole time. When I'm in Houston, this is a stop now. read more

The food is always so fresh and good here. The shu mai is the best i've ever had. I came during the Sunday rush and the food came so quick and hot. Everyone was nice and glad to serve us. The ambiance was very family friendly and welcoming. I've never had a bad experience coming here. 10/10 recommend especially for Sunday dim sum. read more

I have always thought this is a cool, exterior restaurant when driving by. Little did I know, it's been around for a long long time but shut down for about 2 years due to a fire. Not sure how it was prior pandemic but the interior is clean, modern, yet still keep that OG Asian style vibe restaurant. By the way, they offer valet but you don't have to. Find any parking spaces open and park your car! If you do decide to valet, I heard it's only $3 (plus tip). In order to get check in, you must go to the self-serve kiosk by the front desk. It's passed the wall of alcohol so don't be afraid to walk in and pass the front foyer! Once your table is ready, you will get a text message and you walk back to the front desk, towards the end (a step further than where the kiosk is) and let the person know. I came here strictly for their push-cart Cantonese style dim sum but intrigue to dine-in for lunch/dinner. I'm glad I came here on CNY. The food are delicious and comparable to Northeast dim sum that I grew up eating! It taste healthier. I can taste the quality, especially in seafood - not as oily and salty as typical Chinese dim sum restaurants. If you ever had dim sum in Canada, you will taste the difference - that healthier taste, made with better ingredients. I do wish they had the crab claw or baby clams with black bean sauce at the standup station. Har gow, shu mai, shu mai with shrimp only, shrimp rice roll with sweet soy sauce, steamed cha sui bao, chicken feet, and pork (usually not my favorite) were all delicious. Coconut bunny jelly and tofu dessert are great choices to end dim sum on a semi-sweet note. If anyone bothers to visit me here in Houston, I'll be taking my family and friends here for dim sum. With that said, it is quite expensive and you don't know the prices till your bill comes. For two people, it's about $85 (excluding tip) and that's me not over-ordering like usual. read more

I think if we were with more people this place would be much higher. It was just too much food for two people to the point where we kind of got sick just eating. The service was good though they were pretty quick coming with the carts. read more

Fungs has a great reputation since their beginning. All the photos and good reviews just reassurance. They are our go to and fail safe. Great hospitality, great food, great clean environment! They set the bar for others to follow. The OG and trendsetter :) wish I could remember and post all our visits at Fungs from dim sums to get together and receptions. read more

This is widely considered to be one of the best dim sum restaurants in Houston - but with some caveats. Don't expect great service here, in fact if you go during the weekend you're likely going to have a hard time getting the waitresses attention. One of the managers there also has a condescending attitude when we were trying to get seated, and this happened on two separate occasions. That said, if you can deal with the bad service and rude attitudes the food here is excellent! Selection is great and everything is fresh. They even have a lobster special where they deep fry 6 lobster for you which comes in a huge plate. The interior seems newly renovated and the space is huge. Parking can be a pain, and while they do have valet they don't seem very organized. read more

Beautifully remodeled and updated restaurant. We came here for my birthday celebration as the one item on my food bucket list is their live king crab. Fung's food has always been very good and we usually come here for dim sum. I have always mentioned that one day I would like to have one of those live king crabs in their tanks. The day finally came and we were not disappointed. Our waiter Rod was so friendly and helpful. He insisted on us taking plenty of pictures of my special moment. We started off with a crab meat and sweet corn soup, followed by the beef chow fun (stir fried beef amd wide rice noodles), beef with gai lan (chinese broccoli) and a sizzling black bean chicken. Then came the king crab dishes. At our server's recommendation, we had the one 8.5lb crab cooked 3 ways (steamed garlic, butter black pepper and fried rice). Every single dish was delicious. But holy smokes, the king crab.... it most definitely lived up to the sky high expectations. This may be a once in a lifetime or once in a major milestone experience but definitely a most memorable and cherished one. The staff capped off the dinner by giving me a mango pudding (in the shape of a piggy), complete with birthday candle and song. This was definitely a highlight and am so very blessed to be able to have such a wonderful culinary experience here. read more

We had a 30 minute wait at noon on Sunday, which we felt was reasonable. The food was good overall. We only got items from the carts. Some were really hot and fresh but others had been sitting. Some of the servers were more helpful than others. I asked one what something was and she told me she didn't know, she doesn't eat there. The restaurant was clean and nicely done. read more

Fung's is my go-to Chinese restaurant. Great food, great service, always a great experience

I'm Chinese and grew up eating dim sum often and I miss good affordable dim sum here. We went to Fung's Kitchen on a Saturday during lunchtime. It's packed but it has 100 tables so the wait was short. The place is set up the way Chinese restaurants should set up - with round tables, bright red decorations (for fortune), a stage for celebrating any events. They also have private rooms for intimate dining. The food is pretty good. The dim sum is fresh and brought to you on a cart. I've been here 3 times and still haven't tried everything. My new favourite dish is the Stir Fry Beef Filet Mignon. It is so tender it melts in my mouth but also has the wok-hey I'm looking for. The salted egg soft shell crab is also really good. I also recommend the lava bun. The pig trotter in vinegar and ginger was okay. Overall the prices aren't too bad (30 per person) if you're here with friends and get to try a wide variety of food. This is the way you should experience dim sum! read more

This spot has quickly become my family's favorites for dim sum. We love that its one of the very few places that still have traditional dim sum carts going around. It adds a nostalgic touch. Our go-to orders are the pork and shrimp shumai, shrimp har gao, shrimp rice noodle rolls, and Chinese broccoli. The food is always fresh, hot, and packed with flavor. Aside from the carts, there's an a la carte menu and a table where you can choose additional dishes, adding variety to your meal. I can also see that from other reviews here that the Peking Duck is a MUST. Although we have not given that a try, we'll definitely be adding that to our list of things to order. The service is good, the wait time for food is never too long and everyone is usually friendly. It's important to note that it does get quite busy during the Brunch Rush. I'd be prepared for a bit of a wait during peak hours. Overall, great option for DimSum, I can't believe I haven't tried this location sooner. read more

A lot of people know Houston for its good food and dim sum should definitely be on the top. Sadly, this restaurant was a huge let down. The best thing we got was the siu mai. The noodles were cold and lacked flavor. The mango pudding fish were too sweet and tasted artificial. The egg tarts do not look consistent and the custard filling is not sweet enough. We didn't even get the tea until after many of our dishes arrived. I will say that the walk-in wait time was good. However, this restaurant is overpriced and the food quality is subpar. (Big rip if you don't know how to park either because there are many easy parking spots but they are only available with valet.) read more

I was disappointed with my experience today at Fung's Kitchen. The food was very expensive for the quality, and the service did not match with the price at all. What really stood out was the checkout experience -- the lady who rang me up had an extremely rude attitude when I didn't select a higher tip percentage, even though I did leave a decent amount of tip. I would have been happy to tip more if the service had been better. Simple things were overlooked, like not being given spoons to eat fried rice and not having our dirty plates changed after we finished our lobsters. These are basic service expectations. Tipping should be optional and not met with attitude or pressure. Overall, I think they don't really value the customers. read more

Final straw! We enjoy the Dim Sum here, however...the last three visits have been unpleasant, due ONLY to the waitstaff. We had the unfortunate timing to, yet again, have the "ole NOT funny man". We were so very hopeful as a woman seated us, we clapped our hands in delight, and then...over strolls "the guy". He tries to be funny, and will make recommendations, usually high priced. He hovers and is very annoying. We know what we like to order and just want to eat in peace. This guy though, has to make remarks he must think as clever. One time he spent five minutes defining an ambiguous word, can you say "word of the day" calendar? He is slim and the oldest male waiter there...be warned. We promised ourselves we would leave if he came over, so we did. read more

I came here for lunch and the Service was Fast and the food was great and The interior was Fancy! I highly recommend the Pork Soup Dumplings

What an awesome throwback restaurant! Faded pictures on the menus, ornate statues, traditional paintings and furniture. It was a pleasure coming here as a pure novelty to when Chinese culture and cuisine was forced to differentiate itself somehow in 20th Century U.S. restaurant scene. I got waves of nostalgia just stepping foot in a building I'd never been in before. The menu is mostly a la carte Dim Sum options. They also have a more familiar entree type dishes menu as well. They offer fresh seafood like crab and lobster. Had a great time trying bunches of different things from the Dim Sum side of the world. If you have a friend who's been here before they can help you out. Our waiter was also helpful. I'm told that the wait times to be seated can get lengthy on the weekends so be prepared. Plenty of parking though. One thing that smacks you in the face here was how cold it was inside. Not sure if that was just a one time thing, but bring a jacket just in case. read more

We're looking for another dim sum spot since Kim Son in Sugar Land closed down. Also heard this place had the lobsters tower similar to the restaurant in Toronto.

There's a reason why dim sum is so popular here. I visited on a Tuesday morning with two friends, and there was still a 30 minute wait. We were able to mark our dim sum order sheet while waiting in the lobby area. Once you're seated, service is extremely quick -- to the point that you won't be able to add anything to your order because they give you the check before the food comes out. Our total was about $70, which is average or slightly pricier than most places. Our absolute favorite was the ja leung (fried dough stick wrapped in steamed rice paper). We got two orders and considered a third! The plate of Chinese broccoli was very generous too. I wish they had a spicier hot oil, but we will definitely be back. read more

First time coming here; be ready for a lengthy wait for brunch dim sum on a weekend. Plenty of parking and there's a waiting room inside for those waiting. We had to wait around a hour during the lunch rush. Interior is pretty new and clean considering it's a Chinatown oldie. Super quick and friendly service carts where they bring you dim sum to try. They had about 3/4 different carts with dim sum; a shumai cart, bakery cart, dessert cart, soup cart, etc. Pretty much enjoyed everything our tabled ordered here; dishes are probably $5-10 per dish depending on what you grab. Value wise, it's comparable to its peers in the area. Taste wise, it's much better than what I've had in Houston. Unexpectedly I've become a dum sim fan; Golden Dim Sum and HK do not compare both in terms of food, bang for the buck, or service. Will be coming back but probably either at an earlier or later time to avoid the lunch rush. read more

Everyone was raving about fungs kitchen being super good and better than before they had shut down. Unfortunately I think they missed their mark for me. It wasn't packed when we came and service was bad, food came out slow. The only thing we liked was the fried calamari and the shrimp rice cake. Pan fried turnip cake had a weird after taste. The Mayo to my fried shrimp dumpling took forever to come after they had dropped off the plate already. Literally a small scoop of Mayo too. Xiu Mai tasted terribly, ha cao and chicken feet were okay.. It was mediocre overall I'm glad I didn't come to wait during the times that the line was super long. I'd rather go to ocean, HK, or golden. read more

I read an article about the top Chinese restaurants in Houston and Fung's Kitchen was on the list. The article mentioned their Peking duck. That's all I needed to know. I stopped by on a Wednesday for dinner with my mom. Located right around the corner from Chinatown, they have a large lot so parking won't be a problem. Upon entering, I was impressed with the size of the restaurant and the ambiance. A lot of restaurants in Chinatown are no-frills, casual spots. Fung's Kitchen is a little fancier than that. After ordering an iced tea, we started off with some duck rolls (essentially egg rolls stuffed with duck), we went with the Peking duck (whole order) . . . naturally. Peking duck is traditionally served as follows: sliced duck (skin on), green onions, and Hoisin sauce. Some places will give you cucumber too. You use the ingredients and create a mini sandwich using baos or wraps. Fung's gives you the option to choose which was nice as most spots are one or the other. We went with the baos. When it comes to duck, and it's well done, you're looking for crispy skin and juicy meat. Without being dry. Fung's did it to perfection. Service was standard. If you're looking for some duck, Fung's is a great option. I'd love to come back to try some of their other options. They have a huge menu. read more

Second time here. First time was great. Tonight was not so great. We ordered five dishes and it took 30mins for the last dish to arrive. All spread apart by 5-10 minutes. read more

In the distant past, my family has come to Fung's like any other Asian family living in Houston do-- on a very humid Sunday with 37 aunts and uncles and nieces and nephews in tow. Recalling the food back then, it wasn't so memorable. Fast forward a good 15 years and here I am again. And oh boy. Food has gotten better. Much better. Golden Dim Sum used to make me so sad the way the wrapper would stick to the steamer and rip apart before it made its way into my mouth. The wrapper on this is slightly thicker, which may not be ideal for those looking for a more delicate exterior, but the filling inside has nice, satisfying chunks of shrimp. Same with the shrimp shumai and the fried shrimp balls (what can I say I love shrimp). Incredibly meaty and mouth pleasing, crazy way to describe food but that's basically what I love about dumplings-- the texture. The shrimp rice noodle rolls had a great mouth feel, and the sauce that comes with it is slightly sweeter than your average soy sauce, and as creatures who consume, I encourage everyone to experience it. I love Dim Sum. In a past life, I must've been a royal palace concubine who gorged themselves to death on har gow and siu mai. Choking hazard possibly. The service is borderline what you'd expect at any Asian establishment, and then a step or two above that. They're attentive and reasonably friendly. Ambience wise, if you show up on a weekday afternoon between 1-4pm, you'll probably be able to hear the sound of your own breathing. But it's calming if you don't mind some quiet. read more

We went here for dim sum lunch. The dim sum was as good as the a la carte dinner we had here a couple of weeks ago. We probably had ~12-15 different dishes (too many to recall) but all were good to very good. One big of advice. We showed up at 1:05 and had to wait ~35 minutes for a table. If we had just come at 2, we would have been seated immediately. We will definitely be back to this restaurant for both their dim sum and regular menus! read more

5 out of 5 first time here for dinner celebrating aunts 50th bday and the service and the food was exceptional! Highly highly recommend! The lobster mountain was awesome!

The entire staff was super friendly and was very attentive read more

It was fantastic, lobsters were cooked perfectly, meat still nice and juicy, so flavorful (I had garlic butter and curry). Half duck was delicious but may be it was half the skin wasn't as crispy as I anticipated and its portion was very small, Probably the smallest half duck I've had. I will probably order a whole Peking duck next time to see if there is any difference. Clams were big and juicy but it was ok, I didn't get the flavor and wasn't as spicy as I liked.
