Restaurant Kung Fu is described as a small, cozy, family-style spot with warm, attentive service and strong value, where dumplings, dim sum, spring rolls, and shrimp dishes are praised for freshness and flavor. The food is generally delicious and affordable, with large portions and a wide range of options that make it easy to try several items, though a few dishes are noted as overly salty or garlicky and one beef with broccoli order was criticized for imbalance. Takeout and late hours are common themes, with many reviewers appreciating the convenience and consistent quality across visits, even as some say hours or availability can be unclear. The atmosphere is welcoming and unpretentious, and the staff are repeatedly described as friendly, contributing to a sense of a homey place where regulars would return. Overall, the reviews sketch a dependable budget Chinese option with generous portions and approachable prices, best for a quick and comforting meal, while acknowledging occasional menu gaps or changes that have affected perceptions of quality.
Delicious & affordable! We drove all way from Nova Scotia & live upstairs apt for a few days. Really happy that there is a restaurant we can have dumplings downstairs
A place like this being empty feels almost like some kind of crime to humanity (then again having the space to myself felt rather nice.) For starters the service was immaculate, both men who helped me were incredibly nice & answered all my questions. They also didn't get frustrated with my inability to choose but rather gave me all the time I needed. I specifically would like to note that even though I was one of the only people there, they didn't slack off on service. Only hiccup was a mistaken dish but it was handled relatively quickly. The place was clean, the workers were kind & I have no complaints. I even saw them deal with a disgruntled delivery person with grace.
Now down to what really matters, the food!! OMG these were THE BEST SPRING ROLLS I HAVE EVER HAD. Tbh the spring rolls stole the show, hands down the moment I'm back in Montreal, I'm heading here first & ordering like 15 Lol!! I thought they were so crunchy & so flavorful, it shook me. Mapo tofu was spicy but not overbearing,everything inside was cooked to perfection & it was definitely a hefty & delicious serving. I paired both these with a phenomenal bit of shrimp dumplings & some warm sake that had my appetite ready to go & my tummy warm Lol.
Funnily enough I walked PAST this place wanting to go somewhere else for dinner, that place was unfortunately packed & by the grace of God this was right across the street. The world works in mysterious ways but it put me right where I was supposed to me. The food was so good that I ran (more like waddled) back to tell my friends & we ordered again for takeout the next day.
Sake: 7.5/10 mild flavor but still held that nice sake smoothness.
Spring Rolls: 1000000000000/10 absolutely 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 it was so good that I wish I had bothered to take better pictures of it. Taste are subjective but I really enjoyed these spring rolls
Shrimp dumplings: 8/10 perfectly shaped & beautifully made. Plenty of shrimp inside, only had soy sauce to go with it but I almost wish I had a sweeter sauce option. Still amazing & I really enjoyed it.
Mapo Tofu: 8/10 very distinct flavors, isn't for everyone but is still delicious. Spicy but not overbearing.
(Not pictured but ordered the next day)
Shrimp Pad Thai: 9/10 , I had to eat it the next day so I'm giving this review based off of having to reheat because I was late to eating it.
Chicken dumplings: 8/10 personally don't love chicken dumplings in general but these were so flavor, great alternative for those who don't like pork or shrimp.
You don't find many places that are not only affordable but still manage to to be delicious But this easily fit the bill in every way. If you want a solid Chinese restaurant, without the gimmicks, without a crazy long menu (compared to many places I've been to) but still delicious options, this is it.
Very affordable lunch with large portions. Your typical Chinese food. Don't expect any atmosphere or much service except them bringing you the food & refilling your water. A perfect place to just grab food & fill yourself up.
So surprised with this new restaurant at Crescent Street!! I was not expecting to have so delicious food & my husband ordered so many dishes!! We couldn't stop eating kkkk. The place is very clean. High quality, good service. Affordable price ....I just miss some original chinese decoration .
Delicious classic affordable dim sum place!! I find that a lot of the other dim sum places don't have the same level of quality as Restaurant Kung Fu. It is also really reasonably priced as you would expect from a dim sum restaurant, which allows you to enjoy many dishes. Our waitress was super attentive & helpful. The food was delicious!
we got dimsum combo B, a chicken fried rice + wonton soup, & salt & pepper pork chops. it was $70 total. we were 3 people & we were absolutely stuffed! really good amount of food. dimsum food quality was not the best but i still think it's a great spot for an affordable casual meal

We came for the dimsum but were greatly surprised by the quality of the other dishes! We bought some salt & pepper pork chops, & it turned out to be one of the best we've had. The yang chow fried rice was also very good! The har gow was, however, slightly overcooked, which led to it being a but mushy. The siu mai, on the other hand, was still slightly pink & could be cooked for a little bit longer. Overall, it was a great experience. The food was definitely tasty & very affordable, & the red chicken feet & fried wonton were perfect! The service was fast, the food fresh & the ambiance nice. We will definitely come back to try their other dishes.
