    Inside

    This is listed as a buffet but it is not. It appears to be set up as a sit down take your order type of restaurant but it is not. As you enter, you approach a register where you are handed a menu. You must order at the counter, pay, and are then given a receipt with a number. When they call your number you pick up your own food at the register. Not sure why they ask if you want to add a tip when you pay?? My orange chicken with rice, soup, and egg roll was $13.55. Not a bad price due to inflation. The hot and sour soup was kind of sweet. Surprised me, hot and sweet ? The rest of my meal was pretty average. However the quantity was a lot. Could easily have shared my meal.

    Surprised by these 5 star reviews. Maybe it used to be great, but unfortunately it's not anymore. I was very disappointed. The fried rice lacked flavor or any of the add ins (e.g egg, vegetables, etc.) and the general tso chicken was very chewy. Do not recommend.

    Chicken lo Mein (old fashion)
    Christy V C.

    I'm not gonna lie... I was very skeptical about ordering Asian food while visiting Brenham last weekend, however, Golden Imperial pleasantly surprised me! I ordered the Chicken Lo Mein (old fashioned) and it was very good! I ordered online for pick-up and it was still hot by the time I got back to my hotel. The portions are HUGE. I had enough to make 3 meals and they do not skimp out on the chicken. My order also came with Wonton Strips, which was another very pleasant surprise and I thoroughly enjoyed them. The staff was all very friendly and I cannot think of one negative thing to say. I will certainly be stopping by again on my next trip to Brenham! *I didn't take the best picture, but you can see the generosity of their portion size*

    Always Delicious & HOT! I got a To Go Order this evening. They have never disappointed me. Here is one of my favorites Shrimp with Mixed Vegetables, made spicy, per my request, & Fried Rice. Love their Egg Drop Soup too!!!

    The outside of the restaurant made us a little skeptical, but surprisingly the food was actually really good. The only downfall is the BLAND fried rice and if you dine in you do not have any table service. Meaning, you order it at the front, they buzz the pager your provided, you pick it up, and if you need a refill you need to go up to the front to get it. Not a huge deal though.

    lo mein is huge as hell and served hot and flavorful.

It's Small But Intimate, Making It Perfect For A Girl's Date Brunch, or Catching Up With A Friend! There Wasn't A Traditional Server. It's More Of An Order-At-The-Register Type Of Setup, And They Bring Your Food To Your Table. The Service Was Pretty Simple And Laid Back. I Ordered The Deep Fried Salon Sushi, 10/10, I Recommend. The Strawberry Slushie With Boba, 10/10 As Well! The Only Downside During My Visit Was That The AC Wasn't Blowing That Well, So It Did Get Pretty Hot Inside. There's Also Only One Restroom. Overall, I Enjoyed The Cozy Atmosphere And Would Definitely Come Back For A Cute Girls Outing!

    This place must have moved... right next to the old location but I was confused at first…read more The exterior of the new location is rather ugly but the inside is cute! It reminds me of a tea party. Ample space to sit and hangout with friends. Parking available behind the Narunya building (across from the Post Office) This place is odd... there's tea/coffee and Asian food like steamed buns but then the other half of the menu is Italian pasta dishes. Interesting combination. Service is friendly and helpful. I was hoping to order some of their breakfast toasts I saw online but was informed they are no longer serving breakfast but may begin again soon (this was 5/10/2025) Because they didn't have the breakfast toasts I did not try the food. Only the beverages. The tapioca boba was soft and fresh. The tea was ok, tasted good but didn't wow me. It seems like the milk teas are made with powders so it's not as nice as they could be. If you are craving boba it gets the job done. The Vietnamese coffee is tasty and very sweet! I'm not sure if there's an option to adjust the sweetness or if it's premade in large batches. I'll definitely be back to try the food!

I used to go all the time when I was…read moreyounger up in Dallas, but now that I'm in College Station, my friend reintroduced it to me and I've been going back ever since. I'm usually a big fan of Koala, but Kung Fu is definitely becoming one of my go-to spots again. The shop itself is pretty spacious. There's a bar-style counter with high chairs and outlets along one wall, which is nice if you want to get some work done. On the other side, there are a couple of booths that are perfect for studying. It's usually quiet, and the music isn't too loud. One thing I wish they had is more places to plug things in. There's really only one outlet, so it would be helpful if they added a power strip or something similar for people using devices. The drinks have been solid overall. I've tried the oolong milk tea, which was good and pretty standard. I think they use milk powder in that one, just something to keep in mind. The mango slush was a little too artificial tasting for me, but still enjoyable every now and then depending on your mood. My current favorite is the Wow Milk Cap Oolong Tea. It has this creamy layer on top that you mix into the oolong tea, and the flavor is amazing. I get it at 30% sweetness with boba, and I've been obsessed. The boba is always soft and chewy with that perfect brown sugar flavor. They really get the texture right every time. The staff is always friendly and always get my order right. Service has been quick and easy every time I've visited. If you're into milk tea and looking for a chill spot to hang out or study, definitely check this place out.

    I driven past various locations of Hartz for years now, and have been intrigued by idea of a fried…read morechicken buffet, because I love fried chicken. It saddens me to admit that my appetite no longer seems to justify a $14 expense of an all you can eat. The chicken was pretty good. It reminds me of Bush's; good sized pieces, good crust, not very assertive in terms of seasoning (which some might call bland). The bone-in chicken was fresh, hot, and replenished frequently. The tenders were good. I wasn't hungry enough to try everything on the buffet, but if you are, it's probably a good deal. They have a slightly wimpy but adequate salad bar, and a nice array of hot sides. The mashed potatoes were good, you could choose between cream or brown gravy, and the other sides looked good. A buffet that includes the drink is a nice touch. The service was not great. My not very friendly cashier gave me a styrofoam plate (school lunch leftovers I think, with a section marked MILK, ), but not a real tray, and gave no explanation on how to approach seconds at the buffet. While I was there, two different customers had to go ask for a new plate, and almost always had to wait because the cashier was busy elsewhere. When I knocked over my drink, I mopped up what I could with napkins then notified the counter people. They were so unrestrained I wasn't sure they'd even heard me, but one did grab a mop and bucket. I apologized to them as they cleaned up, but no one ever said anything. I don't expect them to be happy about an extra clean up, but decent customer service requires at least acknowledging an embarrassed and apologetic customer!!

    This place is great. For the price of $14/per person, this pricing comes with all you can eat…read morebuffet and a drink...You can't beat that! And the food were fresh.
