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.
3,5 ⭐️ Le service était rapide, mais on ne nous a jamais proposé quoi que ce soit. Les dumplings étaient excellents. Par contre, les brocolis étaient BEAUCOUP trop salés, c'était immangeable. Même chose pour les crevettes sel & poivre. Bref, nous n'y retournerons pas.
Ate here on our last day in Montreal. Was craving authentic dim sum, & found this gem. Shared a large wonton soup & dim sum combo B, we were so full, & then our server dropped off 4 more share plates! Beyond value, quality, authentic, & friendly. Wish we came here from the start! Plus they open until 330am!

Tried the shrimp dumplings & shanghai noodles 4/5 noodled 5/5 shrimp dumplings Honestly I wished the chilli oil was better to make the whole experience unforgettable & to cover up for the noodles But all in all it was good
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.
two stars: 1 for service, 1 for price we were 2 ppl & ordered the siu mai, in addition to the wonton soup ($5.50) & cantonese chow mein lunch special ($13.50). the siu mai & wontons were SO small, i was shocked. especially considering the dim sum dish is min. $5.50 & only came wih 4 small pieces. i expected the cantonese chow mein to have crispy fried noodles & instead it was super drenched & soggy with sauce. it had nice presentation (which i didn't get a photo of) with plenty of toppings, but was subpar overall. unfortunately, we do not plan on returning.
Low price but not very good quality Maybe smaller portions with fresher ingredients would be better The old funky-tasting vegetables in my meal today, especially cabbage & zucchini, are why I won't be coming back Its too bad because its well located & not so many good chinese restaurants in the area Maybe its just not for me, might be best for students on a budget. Price of 13.50$ is really good for portion size
Quality-price-quantity ratio is 5/5. Portions are huge & overall tasting good. Dumplings are not top notch. The atmosphere could be improved a bit. I will return when I will be too lazy to cook.
The price level impressed us, for a hidden gem in the downtown area. Try their snacks & small bites even if you're not too hungry. Very good surprise! We came with Asian friends & ordered a lot - the portions were big & dishes cost less than average! Attentive service as well. All tasty & well-done, it's worth another visit.
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.
Aug 2024: Basic ambiente, food acceptable with concessions. Dumplings okay, but fried tofu nr. 87 comes hard like a grilled bread, with only few vegetables & hardly any sauce. Do not order 87. Sake carafe for 9 CND $ very okay. Food prices in the lower range for Montreal. Therefore restaurant is recommendable, except fried tofu nr. 87... Staff was friendly, no complaints, & gave out wifi password upon request.
