Restaurant Chinatown Kim Fung présente des avis mitigés, certains portés sur le service par chariots Dim Sum qui n'est pas disponible à toute heure mais apprécié lorsque les chariots fonctionnent, les heures de pointe du week-end et le brunch étant les plus fréquentées; l'attente pour une table est fréquente, mais les plats sont souvent bons, copieux et offrent un bon rapport qualité-prix, avec des plats comme les dumplings, les tripes à la ciboule, les pieds de poulet sauce, le riz gluant dans une feuille de lotus et d'autres dim sum; l'ambiance rappelle les anciens restaurants dim sum et plusieurs critiques louent des saveurs authentiques et des portions généreuses; le service est souvent décrit comme attentif et courtois, parfois avec des touches conviviales comme le thé vert offert et des gestes attentionnés, mais les expériences varient avec des rapports de décor défraîchi, de service lent, de variété limitée et de préoccupations d'hygiène comme des tasses non nettoyées et des mouches; dans l'ensemble, les impressions vont de très positives à décevantes, mais l'endroit est vu comme une option solide et nostalgique pour le dim sum, avec un bon rapport qualité-prix et une opportunité de profiter du service par chariots lorsque disponible.
The dim sum style of serving food by passing carts is not available at all hours of operation.
But it's worth going when they serve food by the carts!
The busiest time seems to be weekend brunch.
Expect to wait a bit for a table. But the food is all good & very filling.
Some items can be ordered by the menu, too.
Great service & delicious food. We ordered a number of dishes & it was hard to choose our favorite. Only negative is the bathrooms could use a renovation & better cleaning!
A solid dim sum that had everything I was looking for, served fresh & plentiful for a reasonable price. Ordered 11 dim sum items plus an entrée to share & Spent about 70 each. As a frugal diner I walked out with absolutely no buyers remorse, fat & happy. Our waiter was attentive, considerate, & helpful & we were encouraged to stay as long as we liked with complimentary green tea from start to finish & orange slices for dessert that were the perfect touch & really made us feel looked after. The most comforting dining experience I have had in a really long time.
Caveats: we went on a Monday pretty much right when the doors opened for dinner. We were 2 ordering enough food for 4 & relied heavily on the server recommendations. We were one of only a few tables in the restaurant.
Me & my sister were the first people in for dinner service yesterday evening & the food & service was incredible. Everything we ordered was piping hot, perfectly prepared, & the portions were generous for the price. We loved the selection of harder-to-find dim sum plates, like the tripe with scallion, the saucy chicken feet, the sticky rice in lotus leaf, & the spicy beef tendon. After our meal, our waiter brought us a little plate with cut up oranges on it &, i'll be damned, it was the best orange i think I've ever tasted. We got our leftovers packed up & they kindly let us sit & enjoy some tea for quite some time, it felt like being guests in someone's home. 10/10 we will DEFINITELY be back.
Food was good, but couldn't compensate for the terrible quality of service we just encountered. We arrive at 9:15pm knowing that it closes at 10pm. They greet us by saying « we close at 10, be quick ». They set us up at the table, litteraly throw the menus on the table & say « order now, we close in 45 minutes ». Mind you, there are 2 different menus with a total of 25 pages with half of the items not having a price tag. 2 minutes later, the waiter comes & ask us to order now. We didn't have time to look at the whole menu so we ask him to recommend us his favorites, he simply says « you order, not me », so i rapidly scroll the menu & point certain items that look nice. They bring all the food within 15 minutes & the bill as well saying that they need us to pay now. Due to the rudeness & quality of service, we leave an 8% tip. The waiter waits for the bill to print & starts shouting at us in an unknown language & then demands that we give him more money. We refuse & he continues shouting at us. I then calmly tell him that we will not give him more money so if he can leave us alone so we can eat & then leave. He then goes to other tables & starts trash talking us to other customers while pointing us with his finger. He proceeds to come 2 more times to scream & ask for more money to which i replied the last time that i do not care about whatever he's saying & to leave us alone. He then proceeded to talking with people about us for the rest of the evening in front of us. We can safely say that this is the last time we will leave this restaurant as we will never come back.
Chaque visite au Kim Fung est un vrai plaisir! Les serveurs sont incroyablement attentionnés, toujours à l'écoute. On sent qu'ils veulent vraiment rendre notre expérience agréable, & leurs recommandations sont parfaites. La nourriture est excellente, pleine de saveurs, & on repart toujours satisfaits & heureux. Un endroit où l'on se sent bien accueilli.
The vegetarian dishes were good, lots of options (some with mock meat) & price was reasonable. We went in the late afternoon & ordered both from the dinner menu & dim sum menu, but the dim sum was not fresh. I find the restaurant's hygiene concerning. Several tea cups were not cleaned properly with lipstick, there were flies flying around.
