    K3.Steamed Vegetable Dumplings
    Jaimi L.

    The food is great! Everyone is always very friendly. However, the pacing and timing of ordering and getting cashed out is in need of improvement. We've dined here a couple of times now and while the staff is very nice it takes a little while before anyone comes to take a drink order. Twice now, we have sat and waited and waited for our check to pay for our amazing food. The waiter forgot our noodles last night but it was very very busy for the New year celebration. We did get our hand cut noodles in the end and they were great! Food is wonderful! We love the veggie dumplings, sticky rice shaomai, and the hand cut noodles. Do not miss the Taiwanese popcorn chicken. I believe it's seasoned with five spice and is crispy perfection. This place gets busy and can be a little loud but it is totally worth it. We will be back.

    A new Chinese restaurant has opened up in town! I could not have been more excited to try this place! I have seen videos all of my socials and have been wanting a piece of home. The hand pulled beef noodle soups and beef scallion pancakes were yummy. I also enjoyed the house special stir fry noodle. The noodles were a bit overcooked, but still good nonetheless. Service was good and attentive. And the restaurant is pretty large with ample seating. Not the best Chinese food, but pretty good for what you can get in New Haven!

    Food was great for the price and portion size. Would recommend! Service was very responsive and courteous.

    We had heard a lot of hype around Kung Fu Kitchen, so we had to know if it was better than our current favorite for Chinese in CT - and it was!! It's easy to see why this spot has received Michelin recognition. The hand cut noodles were SO good, with a perfectly thick, chewy texture. The dim sum options were great, and they definitely have the best soup dumplings. I couldn't get over how good the white chocolate soup dumplings were for dessert! That was my first time ever having something like that, and the combination worked surprisingly well. Our server was attentive and friendly, and while it was a busy lunchtime on a Sunday, we found the dishes came out quickly. Exceptionally clean, even in the bathroom. We already can't wait to make another visit!

    Okay hot take here... i dont think the food is anything special. Scallion pancakes lacked scallions and were too crispy. I had better soup dumplings at ramen & bao in oxford. Everything was average. Noodle soup had no flavor and the noodles were very gummy. My husband on the other hand enjoyed everything. So to each their own! Worth a try.

    Pretty good restaurant! I recommend the Xiao Long Bao for sure. The mango slushie was also amazing. The beef noodle soup wasn't bad but I'd come more for the dumpling dishes. Service was fast and kind, would recommend!

    Hand cut noodles with chicken
    Daniel C.

    Welcome to New Haven, Kung Fu Kitchen! It's always great to see a new addition to the growing Asian food scene in the New Haven area. The interior is well-lit and inviting, with what appears at the moment to be a vacant drink bar immediately upon entering. While their drink menu featured slushies and bubble tea, only soda was available during our visit, and no alcoholic options in sight. The xiao long bao appeared visually different than expected, but the filling boasted bold flavors and wasn't too greasy. The cucumber salad was seasoned lightly and refreshing. The beef tendon with chili oil was decent, and I enjoyed the hand pulled noodle soup. I found the stir fry version however lacking and unspectacular, possibly being tailored for a more general American taste. The front-of-house staff appears to be mostly locally hired, though some employees might possibly be from other locations. As with any new opening, growing pains and learning curves are to be expected. I can see challenges in training new hires unfamiliar with the culture and desired service etiquette, while also fostering buy-in and excitement into the restaurant's vision and menu offerings. I'd recommend this restaurant for small to medium groups, but they have several seating options for larger parties as well. I'm hoping they can add more broth and seasoning choices for their hand cut noodles and ramen, but as long as consistency and standards can be sustained or even elevated, this will be one of my top spots for satisfying my dim sum and noodle cravings moving forward!

    Scallion pancakes
    Lena N.

    The food was really delicious! But the service was ...odd. We had a large group which maybe was overwhelming, but I've never experienced anything like this before. Our table had ordered tea and water. Then server said he would bring tea and three waters, which seemed strange for a group of 8. Then we were only brought tea, and apparently the server had forgotten the water order, and then told us that he wished we had told him we wanted water earlier (which we did). Then he said we had to choose between tea and water because they didn't have enough pitchers and cups. They also don't have kid's cups anymore. After a couple more requests, they eventually brought us a small pitcher of water, but refused to bring more cups. The tea was really hot and took a while to drink, so we were very very thirsty by the time the tea was cool enough to finish so that we could repurpose the tea cups to drink water. So strange that they wouldn't give us even a few extra cups for water. The restaurant was relatively empty, maybe at about 1/3 capacity at the time, so it didn't really make any sense. They also brought out a different dessert than what we'd ordered, but it was so awkward after the multiple water refusals that we didn't say anything. Then there was a mix up with splitting the bill between two tables. They didn't seem to care that they had put several items from one table on the other table's bill, so we ended up asking to have it all put on one check so we could do an even split. Back to the food, everything was delicious! Our favorites were the pan fried dumplings (with soup inside, so be careful with the first bite!) and pork & crab soup dumplings. I also really liked the sticky rice shiu mai. Would definitely go back for the quality dim sum, but I'd be sure to bring my own water bottle, if you're trying to also drink anything other than water, to avoid unnecessary drama and excessive thirst. There's some metered street parking and a paid parking lot across the street.

    Shrimp noodles
    Imani J.

    Love the simplicity of the menu! Food is good and filling, not overly seasoned or flavorful per se. Great place for a quick bite. Service is quick and everyone is super helpful. Restaurant and decor is very clean and simplistic, ambiance is also nice and quiet during the day! Overall experience was an 7/10.

    Chicken soup dumplings
    Ann S.

    Amazing spot, definitely check this place out. Without question, order the pan fried Peking duck buns (they take 20 minutes to prepare, so get those in asap)...they hand cut noodles are so good. The only item we got that I wasn't impressed with was the scallion pancakes, they are very thin & crispy. I was wanting a thicker/chewier version, but still tasty.

    Pork soup dumplings
    Crystal C.

    Modern and casual dining. Service was efficient. Servers were very friendly and helpful. Stir fry house fresh ramen noodles was delicious, portion is small. Pork soup dumplings were really good! Wrappers were thin and chewy! Filling was yummy! Steamed pork and shrimp dumplings were the best! Could tasted a chunk of shrimp inside the filling. Would definitely come back to try more dishes!!!

    Black Fungus Salad
    Kasumi C.

    The selection of dim sum here was more limited than I expected and the menu looked like it was designed for children, but what I did order was quite good when compared to other Chinese restaurants in CT. The beef scallion pancake sandwich was satisfyingly filling and not too greasy. Their xiao long bao (soup dumplings) come out hot with plenty of soup inside. (This is the best item here.) The Shanghai Pan-fried pork buns were also really juicy and delicious. The black fungus salad was well-seasoned. As for the spicy beef noodle soup, the broth was rich with flavor. The only thing that was a bit odd was that the Chinese Cruller was served with sweet condensed milk, making it more a dessert. That's not normally how it's served at other Chinese restaurants. It was also a bit denser and thicker that the ones I normally get at other places. Still good, just different. The service was prompt and friendly. The decor is modern and clean. It was definitely worth the drive.

    Sticky rice shu mai
    Deb E.

    I had heard this place had opened and was looking forward to some xlb soup dumplings. It's in the Ninth Ward perhaps where Hunan House was..? Nice space and no wait on a Saturday at 12noon. We decided ahead of time we were on a strictly dumpling mission this time around and ordered sticky rice shu Mai, I've never had sticky rice as shu mai and crab and pork soup dumplings. Waitstaff seems to be floating vs dedicated to specific tables which is fine. Dumplings came out in about 15 minutes. Delicious! Legit, brothy and tasty soup dumplings, shu mai was tasty and earthy mushroom, very yummy. We'll be back, noodles and soup looked good, maybe next time. Beer is on the menu but I did not see any other liquor.
