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.
The service was fast, the food was ok. It's not the best Chinese American food I had in mtl. The fried rice was good. The sauce for the general Tao was ok. I'm just not super impressed with this place. I might go back to tried the dim sum.
Probably the best price/quality&quantity of any Chinese restaurant downtown. We got the Dim Sum combo B & it was great! Anything with shrimp that they serve won't disappoint. My girlfriend & I both have big appetites but we could barely finish the combo. Definitely going to keep coming here.
Everything was perfect, one of the best Chinese food i have tried. The place is small & cosy, more like family place. The prices are really democratic. We were talking shrimp wonton soup with egg noodles, dumplings with pork & cabbage, dumplings with shrimp & pork. Highly recommended
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.
Good spot for made to order tasty Chinese food. Convenient location as it was a few minutes walk from my hotel. Fair prices & good portions. Wine & beer are available too for some good snacking.

Updated 2024.10.25. Arrived late on VIA train, & searched Google maps while on the train that would be opened at midnight & Restaurant Kung Fu came up for Chinese cuisine. Walked from the train station. Brightly lit interior, clean. They offer set menus, but I had my own ideas of what to get & it ended up costing the same. Ordered a small wonton soup, steamed shrimp dumplings har gow, steamed pork dumplings siu mai, broccoli with Chinese BBQ pork instead of beef, steamed xao long bao, Tsing Tao beer. Don't order too many dishes. The food didn't take very long before it started appearing. We were pretty full. Their xao long bao wasn't all that tasty nor appealing. The wonton & siu mai could have been improved with the addition of shrimp & mushrooms, & powdered dried flounder for their wonton to improve the complexity of taste, like improving from one musical instrument to a quartet.
Low price but not very good quality Maybe smaller portions with fresher ingredients would be better The old funky-tasting vegetables in my meal today, especially cabbage & zucchini, are why I won't be coming back Its too bad because its well located & not so many good chinese restaurants in the area Maybe its just not for me, might be best for students on a budget. Price of 13.50$ is really good for portion size
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.

Yummy food & it is Very Chinese taste. If you want try some Local China food，it is a perfect choice. Our Chinese really love here. The Very local taste.
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 .
Great new Chinese food resto in downtown Montreal! So tasty & such high quality food ingredients that are obvious from the first bite! Service by Lily was top notch & very friendly. Hot & sour soup was awesome! Black bean sauce was excellent. Chicken was so tender, fresh & high quality. Finally, Chinese dishes that are not flooded with green peppers. I highly recommend trying Kung Foo!!
Newly opened, very competitive pricing for a downtown food option, taste was fairy standard chinese food level, the soup noodles was way bigger than I anticipated! The food looks better than their promotional picture which is odd, & I was served pretty fast too. Overall it was a good experience, will return
