Chinese Szechuan Asian

Review Summary

Restaurant Chinatown Kim Fung offers a mixed picture with dim sum served by carts not available at all hours but valued when the carts are in use, weekends and brunch being the busiest times, and a wait for a table common; the food is generally good, filling, and offered at reasonable prices, with a range of items including dumplings, tripe with scallion, saucy chicken feet, lotus leaf sticky rice, and other dim sum staples, and some dishes can also be ordered from the menu; the atmosphere evokes a traditional dim sum spot and several reviews praise authentic flavors and generous portions; service is described as attentive and courteous in many visits, sometimes with thoughtful touches such as complimentary green tea and fruit; yet experiences vary with reports of run-down décor, pushy or rude behavior at closing, and pressure to tip, along with slow service, limited dim sum variety, and hygiene concerns like unclean cups and flies; overall impressions range from very good to disappointing, but the venue is still seen as a nostalgic, solid option for dim sum and good value when cart service is available.View restaurant profile

(442)

Chinatown, Downtown

Chinese Szechuan Asian

Review Summary

Overall, Ethan comes across as a bustling Chinatown staple offering large portions, quick service, and affordable Cantonese comfort with favorites like roasted meats, barbecue pork, duck, dumplings, and dim sum. The menu is praised for value and reliability, with many diners enjoying generous plates and fast turnover, and some hits like congee, red bean ice dessert, and other dishes that evoke a Hong Kong vibe. However, experiences vary: some meat dishes can be dry or underseasoned, dim sum skins can be too thick, and a few visits note inconsistent quality across dishes. Service is described as friendly and efficient at times, but there are reports of rushed or pressured tipping and some negative incidents that left a few patrons reluctant to return. Despite these uneven moments, the restaurant remains a popular affordable option for quick meals and big portions, with the caveat that quality and atmosphere can feel busy and informal.View restaurant profile
