    Sweet and sour pork
    Granger L.

    The people working here were nice, but... The food here did not taste authentic at all... The batter on the orange chicken and sweet and sour pork was so thick that you could barely taste the meat. The salt and pepper tofu tasted like it had zero salt and used what tasted like store bought tofu from Safeway or something. The best dish was the green beans. I won't be coming back, but if you're just looking for ok Chinese food it'll be fine I guess.

    The food is amazing and the owners are super nice!! I come here a lot and one of the owners who knows I like fortune cookies sometimes puts handfuls of them my to-go bag. I highly recommend this place :)

    E16. General's Chicken
    Chastity V.

    Got takeout here for the first time and enjoyed everything we ordered! Was craving Chinese takeout - we usually go to China Palace, but I saw that Kung Fu Kitchen is equally well reviewed but with entrees that are $5+ cheaper. Can now confirm that the food is just as good at Kung Fu Kitchen. The servings are family style sized for sharing, and the two of us had leftovers for 2 more meals. We ordered: General's Chicken (4.5/5) has a tiny bit of spice to it Shrimp with Lobster Sauce (4.5/5) comes with plenty of delicious vegetables Shrimp Fried Rice (4.5/5) Needs more shrimp, tastes great Chinese Broccoli with oyster sauce (5/5) perfect I called in my order and was told it would be ready in 25 mins. The food was ready at the time that was promised. This is definitely more of a takeout place than dine-in. No one was dining in and there were only 1-3 very small tables, and one was being used to hold takeout orders for pickup.

    1562 Palos Verdes Mall Walnut Creek, CA 94597 On a sunny Saturday, I had lunch at Kung Fu Restaurant in Walnut Creek, CA. I saw the great reviews, and decided it would be worth a try. First thing I noticed when I walked in the place was it's really small. So I'm guessing most of these Yelp reviews are for takeout orders. There's only 3 medium tables (w/ 4 seats) and 1 small table (w/ 2 seats), and 1 small table outside. I pointed at the small table and asked the man at the counter if I could sit there. He said YES, and asked what I would like to order. Without looking at the menu, I just ordered my favorites..... - Wor Won Ton Soup - Potstickers (8) - Hot Tea (I asked for chopsticks) Service was very quick. The man behind the counter was also the server. Wor Won Ton Soup, Grade (4/5): This is combination won ton soup. It has a little bit of everything. My soup had 8 dumplings, lots of veggies, 2 shrimp, and some pieces of chicken. Not alot extras. But the broth was mild, and very good. Potstickers, Grade (3/5): They looked and tasted like the frozen kind. They should be plump. These had limited filling, and not alot of flavor. But the presentation of the plate was nice. Service & Value, Grade (5/5): Fast service and reasonable prices. Free parking in mall lot. Limited seating, so be prepared to do takeout.

    This is my first time out at this takeout . The service was pretty nice. It's a really small space seats about 10 to 15 people and they have a small section outside proceeding . The food was pretty good.

    E2. Chicken with Black Bean Sauce lunch special $15
    Nicole B.

    I don't know if I was extremely hungry, but can't beat this lunch meal. Chicken with black bean sauce- chicken so tender and a lot of it! Rice goes perfect with the sauce. Chow mein is a little lacking, but she did 1/2 rice and 1/2 chow mein for me. Very sweet couple cooking it up fresh in front of you. Only 3 tables inside, so take out is better option.

    I was almost done eating when I remembered to take a picture of my yummy plate

    My plan was to eat at another establishment close to Kung Fu Kitchen, but parking led me in front of their store. I got out of my car, and the Chinese signs on their windows piqued my curiosity. Suddenly, I had a craving for Chinese food. There were only about four tables inside, with one table open, just like it was waiting for me! I ordered their lunch special - the Hunan trio (chicken, beef, and shrimp) - for a very reasonable price, but it tasted better than those from pricier restaurants in the area. The serving was generous, the meat (all three) was tender, the veggies mixed in the dish tasted delicious and fresh. It was deliciously tasty without being salty. Their hot and sour soup was decent. Kung Fu is a small, no-fuss hole-in-the-wall restaurant, but those are the ones that deliver. I shall return!

The…read moreone thing that really stands out the most to us is their Sichuan Beef Stew Noodle Soup, which I've praised so many times in my previous reviews so I'm not gonna repeat myself so that I don't sound like a broken record, but it's just so good! Another thing we ordered when we visited this restaurant yesterday was the Sichuan Cumin Beef. I honestly forgot how much we liked this dish. The way they cooked it yesterday was incredible. Every bite was packed with flavor (savory, very cumin-y and spicy!) , and even the veggies were fully infused with it. It went perfectly with steamed rice. I want to give a warning though, because this dish was extremely spicy, which I personally loved. I liked it so much that I ended up ordering another one to go so I could keep eating it at home over the next few days, lol. I also want to give a shout out to the guy who was basically single-handedly running the restaurant yesterday. He saw us walk in carrying a car seat and offered us a high chair, but he flipped it upside down so we could safely place the car seat on it. Such a simple back but genius. On top of that, he was super friendly the entire time. The restaurant was pretty empty, which is pretty normal for this restaurant whenever we visit it, although they seem to get a lot of takeout orders - happy for them. The empty restaurant actually worked out perfectly for us since we had a baby with us, haha. Overall, it was a really good dining experience, and I'd definitely keep coming back whenever I'm in the area.

While he was working incredibly hard, it's unfair to both the staff and the customers to have a "one-man show" during dinner rush. We waited 30 minutes for drinks and a full hour for food--which is nearly impossible when you have a hungry toddler with you. We ordered a non-spicy dish (lotus root) for our toddler, but it arrived spicy anyway. Since we couldn't wait another hour for a remake, she ended up just eating white rice. To top it off, our beef tripe and blood in hot pot broth dish arrived without the blood. When we finally flagged Rambo down, he explained they intentionally exclude it because some customers find it "smelly." As a Chinese customer who specifically ordered the dish for the blood, I found this frustrating and deceptive. If an ingredient is being removed from a titled dish, guests must be notified upfront. We enjoyed the flavors of the spicy tan tan noodles, lotus root, black pepper lamb, and ma-po tofu, but the management needs to hire more weekend staff. We'll stick to takeout from now on.

We didn't have to wait for a table, but it was quite full for how many tables they have! They have both a good amount of outdoor seating and indoor seating. Ordering is done via a QR code on each table. I want to start out by saying that we were all hungry after a hike, so between the three of us, we shared: 1) Pig Ears & Cucumber w/ Chili Sauce: I love the crunchy, gelatinous feeling of biting into these. They're kinda refreshing since it's usually served cold with cucumber. I think they give a pretty good portion for this appetizer dish. 2) String Beans Sauteed w/ Garlic Sauce: Lots of garlic pieces mixed into these string beans! The beans weren't the most fresh. There were some stringy ones, but portion was also pretty generous and I usually like having these when I have dumplings! It's a nice pairing. 3) Shrimp, Egg, Chive Pockets (2): These are huge pockets and packed full of ingredients. The skin was thin, crispy, but just a tad oily. I love that they added so much chives into it. Although the skin fell apart pretty quickly - either because it's too heavy with ingredients or the ingredients were wet - I appreciate the thin skin more than a thick skin. 4) Juicy Pan-fried Pork Buns: These were my favorite. I haven't found a really good one around the Bay until I tried these. Usually the buns I get are either too thick-skinned, doesn't have good bun to pork ratio, or dry. These on the other hand, were pretty close to perfect. There was a lot of juice inside - I would say as much as the XLBs. The skin was still pretty thin on the top and not too dough-y on the bottom, but also had a nice crunch from being pan-fried. And the pork was nicely flavored! I would come back just for these. 5) Pork Xiao Long Bao: Also pretty good! Skin was thin and held a lot of juice! Pork was nicely flavored as well! But portion was smaller than most other restaurants I've been to. 6) Dumplings with Shrimp, Pork & Chive (10): These were also one of my favorites. They have their skin perfected - not too thick. Filling wise, this is one of my top go-to for filling, and it's hard to resist a good dumpling! We walked out with our bellies full and feeling great. I can't say there were much interaction with the servers since they were so busy, but would come back when I'm around the area!

The soup dumplings were ok. 1 braised pork dumpling had a much stronger star anise flavor which was overbearing while the other was perfect. I was actually hoping for the pita part to be more like the style that has crispy layers but it was filling. The chili oil flat noodles were OK. Overall, I've had better hand pulled noodles and I prefer beef broth soup that has a more richer flavor.
