This was a great visit! The service was super attentive and everything came out very fast. Beautiful restaurant! The strawberry cherry was a perfect amount of sweetness, and felt like it never finished. Typically if I'm in New York, I will just stop at Nan Xiang but Kung Fu may have influenced my next visit a bit. The chicken xiao long bao was SO good. The broth inside was perfect in my opinion (and my friend's haha) the vinegar was pretty much unnecessary. I honestly can't wait to get them again. The chocolate ones were different! A unique try but I don't think I'd get them again because of the consistency between dough and chocolate. We loved the pan fried Peking duck buns! The beef and peppers was a delicious plate! I'm usually bad with spicy but this was the perfect level of heat. Definitely visiting again soon.

I never really ordered their drinks, but the lycheee apple rose and mango slush was 10/10 and super refreshing. The food is good I can't complain. We come back to eat!

I love this place!! I've been several times in the last couple months and have no complaints. The servers are always attentive, food is always high quality and tasty, and the place is clean/ nicely decorated. I absolutely LOVE the pork soup dumplings (best I've ever had honestly), spicy beef ramen, and recently had the knife cut noodles stir fry with beef and chili peppers. I highly recommend coming here!! Even my dad who's super picky loves what he gets!!

The food is great! Everyone is always very friendly. However, the pacing and timing of ordering and getting cashed out is in need of improvement. We've dined here a couple of times now and while the staff is very nice it takes a little while before anyone comes to take a drink order. Twice now, we have sat and waited and waited for our check to pay for our amazing food. The waiter forgot our noodles last night but it was very very busy for the New year celebration. We did get our hand cut noodles in the end and they were great! Food is wonderful! We love the veggie dumplings, sticky rice shaomai, and the hand cut noodles. Do not miss the Taiwanese popcorn chicken. I believe it's seasoned with five spice and is crispy perfection. This place gets busy and can be a little loud but it is totally worth it. We will be back.

A new Chinese restaurant has opened up in town! I could not have been more excited to try this place! I have seen videos all of my socials and have been wanting a piece of home. The hand pulled beef noodle soups and beef scallion pancakes were yummy. I also enjoyed the house special stir fry noodle. The noodles were a bit overcooked, but still good nonetheless. Service was good and attentive. And the restaurant is pretty large with ample seating. Not the best Chinese food, but pretty good for what you can get in New Haven!

We had heard a lot of hype around Kung Fu Kitchen, so we had to know if it was better than our current favorite for Chinese in CT - and it was!! It's easy to see why this spot has received Michelin recognition. The hand cut noodles were SO good, with a perfectly thick, chewy texture. The dim sum options were great, and they definitely have the best soup dumplings. I couldn't get over how good the white chocolate soup dumplings were for dessert! That was my first time ever having something like that, and the combination worked surprisingly well. Our server was attentive and friendly, and while it was a busy lunchtime on a Sunday, we found the dishes came out quickly. Exceptionally clean, even in the bathroom. We already can't wait to make another visit!

Got the beef stir-fry Handcut Noodle and the J6.Scallion Pancake, they were both delicious. The flavor was on point, and the service was even better, very attentive . I will definitely be back!

My daughter and I dropped in on Christmas after picking her up from the train station. After a long trip, she requested takeout over sit down. The restaurant itself is chic and modern. The staff was very attentive. They gave us our menus and escorted us to the cozy waiting area. We took our time, and felt very relaxed. When our order arrived, it was presented in a the cutest take out bag I ever saw. The whole experience was so enjoyable that we couldn't wait to get home and eat! We agreed that it was the best Chinese takeout we had ever had! FYI, our whole feast only $40.00. We had soup dumplings, pan fried dumplings, and an order of spice beef ramen soup, enough for two. We decided to make it a regular stop on our way home from the train station whenever she visits.i'm sure I'll return before then!

Pretty good restaurant! I recommend the Xiao Long Bao for sure. The mango slushie was also amazing. The beef noodle soup wasn't bad but I'd come more for the dumpling dishes. Service was fast and kind, would recommend!

Welcome to New Haven, Kung Fu Kitchen! It's always great to see a new addition to the growing Asian food scene in the New Haven area. The interior is well-lit and inviting, with what appears at the moment to be a vacant drink bar immediately upon entering. While their drink menu featured slushies and bubble tea, only soda was available during our visit, and no alcoholic options in sight. The xiao long bao appeared visually different than expected, but the filling boasted bold flavors and wasn't too greasy. The cucumber salad was seasoned lightly and refreshing. The beef tendon with chili oil was decent, and I enjoyed the hand pulled noodle soup. I found the stir fry version however lacking and unspectacular, possibly being tailored for a more general American taste. The front-of-house staff appears to be mostly locally hired, though some employees might possibly be from other locations. As with any new opening, growing pains and learning curves are to be expected. I can see challenges in training new hires unfamiliar with the culture and desired service etiquette, while also fostering buy-in and excitement into the restaurant's vision and menu offerings. I'd recommend this restaurant for small to medium groups, but they have several seating options for larger parties as well. I'm hoping they can add more broth and seasoning choices for their hand cut noodles and ramen, but as long as consistency and standards can be sustained or even elevated, this will be one of my top spots for satisfying my dim sum and noodle cravings moving forward!

The food was really delicious! But the service was ...odd. We had a large group which maybe was overwhelming, but I've never experienced anything like this before. Our table had ordered tea and water. Then server said he would bring tea and three waters, which seemed strange for a group of 8. Then we were only brought tea, and apparently the server had forgotten the water order, and then told us that he wished we had told him we wanted water earlier (which we did). Then he said we had to choose between tea and water because they didn't have enough pitchers and cups. They also don't have kid's cups anymore. After a couple more requests, they eventually brought us a small pitcher of water, but refused to bring more cups. The tea was really hot and took a while to drink, so we were very very thirsty by the time the tea was cool enough to finish so that we could repurpose the tea cups to drink water. So strange that they wouldn't give us even a few extra cups for water. The restaurant was relatively empty, maybe at about 1/3 capacity at the time, so it didn't really make any sense. They also brought out a different dessert than what we'd ordered, but it was so awkward after the multiple water refusals that we didn't say anything. Then there was a mix up with splitting the bill between two tables. They didn't seem to care that they had put several items from one table on the other table's bill, so we ended up asking to have it all put on one check so we could do an even split. Back to the food, everything was delicious! Our favorites were the pan fried dumplings (with soup inside, so be careful with the first bite!) and pork & crab soup dumplings. I also really liked the sticky rice shiu mai. Would definitely go back for the quality dim sum, but I'd be sure to bring my own water bottle, if you're trying to also drink anything other than water, to avoid unnecessary drama and excessive thirst. There's some metered street parking and a paid parking lot across the street.

Love the simplicity of the menu! Food is good and filling, not overly seasoned or flavorful per se. Great place for a quick bite. Service is quick and everyone is super helpful. Restaurant and decor is very clean and simplistic, ambiance is also nice and quiet during the day! Overall experience was an 7/10.

Amazing spot, definitely check this place out. Without question, order the pan fried Peking duck buns (they take 20 minutes to prepare, so get those in asap)...they hand cut noodles are so good. The only item we got that I wasn't impressed with was the scallion pancakes, they are very thin & crispy. I was wanting a thicker/chewier version, but still tasty.
