I ordered chicken lo mein, garlicky Chinese vegetables (I selected the gailan), and vegetable spring rolls. The lo mein was good. The garlicky gailan was excellent, and so were the spring rolls. When I heated up some leftovers I combined the gailan with the lo mein which really elevated the whole thing. It's like you can taste the love that they cook into the food. Five stars!

I ordered the spicy combo, and ordered it extra spicy - maybe a language barrier, but I think they took the spice away as it had no heat at all. The chicken portions were HUGE and the bowl of soup was plenty large for four people to share. Will definitely be back!!

The beef rice noodles were like I would make from a reg pan at home without, again, taste. They need that wok taste but it's not there So disappointed, not cheap either , easily $18 a plate Place was clean and looked decent but what good is that if the food is lousy?

I ordered the crispy dumplings (pork) and spring rolls as appetizers, and the spicy noodle soup as my entree. My server came to take my order, and brought me the items as they were ready. The entree came out before the appetizers. The spicy noodle soup was spicy (as named) and it was good, but it was incredibly oily and the noodles were overcooked, so I didn't eat much of it. I would definitely recommend ordering this with rice, or taking it home and making your own. The dumplings and spring rolls were crispy, but nothing special. I did like the duck sauce they had -- I would have asked my server for more of it, but she was busy in the back or something, not sure. I wish she would've checked in on me a bit more during the visit so I could have gotten more napkins and sauce. The service was alright. I wish I would've gotten checked on a little bit more, but she was nice and helped me pack my noodles to go. Overall, this spot wasn't terrible, but if I had to choose, I'd probably try another place.

The staff is super friendly and courteous :) ! We usually order the beef vermicelli soup, and a variety of dumplings :D !

I eat all kinds of meat. So I always order the pork and chive dumplings :D ! Whether you come in on a weekday or weekend, it always helps to come early if you can! If we want to go there for lunch, we try to get there as close to 11 am as possible when they first open. As it gets closer to 12 noon, it starts to get really busy, and it's harder and trickier for the staff to seat you. There is both booth and table seating. It's a great restaurant to catch up with friends, family or even colleagues over a good meal :) ! The parking lot out in front is a pretty decent size. But it can fill up pretty quickly when it gets busy! We also love ordering frozen dumplings to go :D ! For sure, we will definitely come back :D ! Kung Fu Noodle never disappoints :) !

After having spent years faithfully going to the…read moresame Chinese restaurant because it was close to my house and not realizing that the food quality had gone down remarkably, we decided to try a different place and here we are. It's been about a year or so since we've been coming here fairly regularly and I really cannot complain about anything specific. Most meals are excellent with a I miss now and then, but overall, I would never complain about that. The price of their meals seem to be stuck in a world without crazy tyrant leaders, and inflation out the roof, though I don't know for how much longer that will remain. Wah Kee! Stay true to who you are and you'll always have happy people coming back to you!

We noticed the decor had changed (yes, I said it had been many years) and it was quite nice! We were seated promptly and placed our drink order (tea came with lunch). We ordered Rangoon as a starter. The lunch specials came with soup and egg roll, and fried rice. DH ordered his litmus test dish for American style Chinese- General Tso chicken. The portion was generous. The sauce was tasty. The chicken pieces tasted like your average frozen nuggets tossed in sauce. It's that familiar "seasoning" to the chicken and coating- iykyk. Not bad at all, just not the best. He enjoyed his egg drop soup. I opted for Hunan Beef. The sauce was thicker than I prefer, with an almost gelatinous consistency. The hot and sour soup was nice, a little more sour than hot. We both thought the fried rice that came with lunch was a little bland. Maybe the entree version is better? Each special was under $10, and it's definitely a great value.

Walked in and waited for a few minutes before someone handed us menus and told us to sit wherever. Just handed us menus...in a kind of "just go sit down kinda way". Not real friendly. The appetizer we ordered (veggie steamed dumplings) came out with one less dumpling than promised on the menu. My wife's noodles were nothing special, as was my spicy/numbing pot. I felt my pot in particular, was over-loaded with huge chunks of veggies that could have been better chopped as to be more manageable. More chicken and beef in that chicken and beef pot, too, please ... The person waiting on us, if you could call it that, was not personable and could not have cared less about interacting. His drive by meal drop-offs were the epitome of antisocial. Probably won't return.

There was more styrofoam than there was beef. The Spanish yellow rice was also a let down... especially when I ordered Chinese food. Now, on to the combo fried rice. There was no area of their site for me to ask for no bamboo shoots. This place missed the mark by far. The food was edible, but not with the $50 I spent.
