it was good and they had a good variety and lychee slush pulled noodles i wanted to try michelen dumplings and it was right at times square

Ambience. A Service. A Food. A Price. A Found in midtown ?!! No street parking that I can see. Saw the Michelin mentioned hand pulled and write up articles in window and mentioned delicious hand pulled noodles OR cut Noodle. $1 extra?! I ordered the thinly sliced angus beef spicy bowl. Definitely spicy and light. Broth with al dente springy noodles. Love the clear tasty broth too. I want to come back and try the handmade daily dimsum. Looks delish. I'm a FaN!!! read more

I was very disappointed with my experience. The food was overpriced and mediocre, and the service was among the worst I've had. My water wasn't refilled until I asked, and no one checked on our table during the meal. What bothered me most was that an 18% gratuity was automatically added to the bill without my approval. Customers should be able to decide the tip based on the service they receive. I wouldn't return, and I encourage others to check their bill carefully and make it clear if they prefer to leave their own tip. read more

came on a saturday night around 7pm, waiting area was a bit busy. a worker greeted us quickly and told us to hang tight for a few minutes. i appreciated their punctuality and communication! domingo was very accommodating, patient, and kind. wonderful service here black milk tea w lychee: (9/10). this is the perfect balance of floral and creaminess! not oversteeped/bitter or too bland. the lychee jelly adds just the right amount of sweetness. pork xlb (6.5/10): wrapper was not my fave, not the smoothest. filling and soup were so yummy though! pan friend shrimp & pork dumplings (7.5/10): the red wrapper is so cute, fried well but a bit denser than i expected. i loved how juicy the filling was!! it was so flavorful and yummy. i see why this place is michelin guide rated. would definitely come back here again! read more

We ordered the spicy beef noodle soup because it said it was with a spicy peanut sauce. Our noodles DID NOT have any peanut sauce whatsoever. The soup tasted like water, and unfortunately we actually heard another patron say the same thing about their noodle soup. The xiaolongbao was okay. The skin was a little thick like it was over cooked. But the soup was flavorful. The service was also okay. The interior of the restaurant had nice decor that I didn't expect from the unassuming storefront. read more

There's not a lot of great food options around Times Square but this is a good place to get some decent and yummy Chinese food in the area! I liked their Pan-Fried Shrimp & Pork Dumplings and Scallion Pancake w. Braised Beef. The dumplings were meaty and the pancakes were flaky and crispy. I had to get their Knife-Cut Noodles (House Special) which came with beef, shrimp, and a whole tea egg! They also have dry hot pot so I tired their Mala Dry Pot (Beef) which had the perfect level of spice and wasn't too salty. read more

This is a delivery review. Kung Fu Kitchen has a wide selection on its menu all of which are authentic. Ranging from southern to northern Chinese region cuisines it not only has a lot, but the food still tastes good. Would definitely order again! Taste: 4.5/5 Service: 4/5 Value for money: 3/5 (4/5 if you're using coupons) We had: 1) Beef Chili Pepper Fry hand cut noodle - great 2) beef tendon ramen w/ soup - good as well, they split the soup on the side which is good so the noodles don't get soggy! 3) Angus marbled beef spicy dry pot - great! read more

I walked into Kung Fu Kitchen on a whim because I was starving, and it turned out to be a solid choice. I don't usually eat around 34th St & 8th Ave since the area can feel hectic, but this spot was convenient and surprisingly satisfying. The menu has a good mix of Chinese staples and ramen options. The food came out quickly, portions were generous, and everything I tried was tasty and filling without being overpriced. It definitely hits the spot if you're looking for comfort food in the middle of Manhattan. The space itself is casual and busy, but service was efficient and I didn't have to wait long even during peak hours. For convenient Chinese food or a quick ramen stop near Penn Station, this place really works. read more

Kungfu Kitchen - Really delicious, fresh steamed pork/shrimp dumplings. Well packaged! - Dim Sum Near Me - New York, New York

Food was not good. Soup was really lacking flavor. Tea egg was just a simple soy egg. I was so disappointed. I'm not sure why there's Michelin guide posters on the windows. Those were from years ago. Should have known based on that. Maybe it used to be good. Not anymore. read more

It was my first time here and I loved it. If you're looking for great noodles, this is definitely the place to go. It's easy to get to, conveniently located near the 42nd Street Bus Terminal. There's plenty of seating, making it perfect for coming with friends or on a date. They also offer boba tea, both frozen and non-frozen. The service was great, and I'll definitely be coming back. read more

A clean and spacious restaurant in midtown, Kung Fu Kitchen serves relatively inexpensive and delicious Chinese food. It was started by a Chinese actor who immigrated to the US and had to start over, but found his passion for food! Somehow, knowing the story of the chef behind the counter added a layer of familiarity to the dishes. We ordered the Sliced Beef Scallion Pancake, Cucumber Salad, Pork Soup Dumplings, and Wonton Soup. The scallion pancake was crunchy and well-flavored, one of the best I've had in the city. The cucumber salad was different than most, seasoned with chicken powder and sesame oil and chili oil on the side. It was not bad, but not my favorite. The soup dumplings were pretty good too, having decent flavors but the dumpling skin was a bit thick. The wontons/dumplings were the star of the night. The pork, shrimp, and chives tasted fresh, and my friend and I savored each bite. The only skepticism I have is whether they used chicken powder/MSG or not, which I'm not sure how I feel about. I would still come back to this place to try other things on the menu. read more

Kung Fu Kitchen in Times Square promised a convenient spot for some classic Chinese dumplings without the trek out to Flushing. Given the location, I was prepared for higher prices, but still hopeful for a satisfying meal. While they were good, the experience was mostly within the ballpark of my expectations. We ordered the soup dumplings, expecting that signature delicate balance of thin wrappers and savory broth. Instead, the soup dumplings leaned on the sweeter side, which was a bit of a surprise. Now, Shanghai style cuisine trends on the sweeter side, so I'm used to it having grown up eating Shanghai food, but it was a little too sweet. I just wish the broth had a deeper, savory flavor. The filling was decent, but nothing that made me want to order a second round. Prices were noticeably steeper than what I'm used to, which made the overall experience feel less worthwhile. The menu had the usual suspects, pork soup dumplings, pork and crab, pan-fried dumplings, and they were good, but that's about it. Service was efficient enough, though the place felt a bit rushed, which might be the nature of Times Square dining. All in all, Kung Fu Kitchen is a convenient option if you're in the area and craving dumplings, but I'd skip over to Flushing still, if you're looking to treat yourself. Though keep in mind I'm just a tourist :) read more

Heard about this place near the theatre district for handmade dumplings and noodles. Will need to come back for the soup dumpling. Dumplings were hearty filled, noodles was tasty broth was on the salty side. Service was friendly and it must be the area - when we asked the waiter to take a picture he's like "$5 a picture" haha - we went somewhere earlier and he said the same thing. Toward the back of the restaurant there was a large screen showing the history of how he became a chef, family, making of dumplings, and other dumpling places in NYC which was a nice touch. read more

The food was fresh, but the flavors just seemed the same for both dishes. Service was quick as we were on our way to see a show. Restaurant overall looked clean and the bonus was that the sink was outside of the bathroom so we could wash our hands. Overall, I wasn't impressed with the food. read more

What an awesome dining experience from start to finish. My coworkers and I shared the shrimp dumplings and the braised beef scallion pancakes - both of which were delightful (but that braised beef scallion pancake stole the show it was incredibly tasty). Also loved the knife cut noodles with roast duck. I would like to come back one day to try more of the menu, the food was delicious with great service and ambiance. read more

My wife and I came here to eat back in 2019 and since we are back in NYC, we decided to try this place again with our kids. The staff were super friendly and food quality was as good as when we were there in 2019. We ordered our usual pork soup dumpling since my kids love soup dumpling. We ended up ordering another one. My older som wanted to try the duck bun and it was really good. the bun was soft and the duck had a lot of flavor. My wife tried it and liked it a lot. I told her it was duck since she doesn't eat duck but only after she finished it and got her honest opinion about it. The steamed dumpling packed a lot of flavor. I prefer this traditional dumpling over the soup dumplings since you can taste the meat and seasoning more. The soup was ok. I prefer the spicy beef soup with their noodle over ramen but my wife can't handle spiciness. I wish there was a little mire flavor like the spicy noodle. If you like the fishy scallop flavor, I would recommend ordering the scallop and pork soup dumpling. The flavor can be overwhelming if you are not a fan of seafood or scallop taste. My kids were not a fan of it so that meant more for me. I recommend this place if you are around the area and want to get something small to eat for lunch before exploring NYC that doesn't break the bank. read more

Stumbled across this place walking and saw the Michelin sign. SO HAPPY I ATE HERE!! Food was absolutely amazing. Never had soup dumplings due to not eat beef or pork so their chicken option was amazing. Service was pretty good. The vibe was clean and cutesy. Follow @LivingLifeWithKylie on IG read more

Picked up lunch here and it was pretty good. I got the stir fry hand cut noodles with chicken. It was flavorful and the portion size was more than enough. Also got some chili oil on the side which gave the dish a nice spicy kick. Their menu is quite large. So I'm looking forward to trying some of their other offerings next time. read more

My husband and I loved this place. It's a small restaurant near time square and very easy to overlook. However, it's Michelin recommended and we could see why. We came back twice in a week while visiting NYC because we loved our meals so much. Honestly could have gone very day but we forced ourselves to try other places. The food is incredible. Seriously, so authentic and so good. The flavors are spot on and you can tell it's all homemade. I live in California and have yet to find a dumpling place that matches this quality, though a few have come close. The soup dumplings are 10/10 good and the clear star. However, we seriously enjoyed every single dish that we tried. They've got a large menu with a lot of options to choose from/try, so we had to come back to get other dishes. Inside it's a very cozy atmosphere and clean. Service was quick. We came fairly late in the evening both times, but there was no wait at all. They seem to do pretty good business. 100% I'd come back when visiting NYC in the future, especially if you're staying or visiting near time square. read more

I ordered food through Doordash for delivery. Loved the reusable bag the food came in. I ordered the shrimp dumplings, roast duck ramen and milk tea. Loved the food, but probably wouldn't order the milk tea again. I also loved that they included a soup spoon for the ramen. Would definitely order again. read more

We come here each time we are in town and come straight from the airport. We don't even eat anywhere else. We come here for lunch and for dinner and eat the same thing each time. You can't get anything better than the pork soup dumplings. We order 3 or 4 servings and gobble them right down with smiles on our faces. Love this restaurant. The staff are friendly and provide great service. We wish they would expand to the West Coast. We flew out to their Orlando location as well. read more

4.5 Food A- Service A+ Ambiance A Clean, no frills dumpling and noodle shop. The aunty I had as a server was friendly, quick and efficient. She advised me on portions and I ended up getting just enough to be comfortably stuffed. The steamed pork soup dumplings were packed with soup. The tops of the dumplings were on the thick side but I'm assuming this is to reinforce them so they don't break when picked up. The dumplings are served with tiny tongs for the chopsticks unskilled crowd: the steamed regular dumplings were PLUMP with filling. They were not stingy at all with the pork filling. Each dumpling order came with 6 pieces (I ate one of the regular dumplings before i remembered to take a pic). The chili oil they have is nice. Flavorful but not too spicy. The price for quality&quantity for this part of town is great. Only real critique is the pork filling has a texture that felt less dense than normal with bit of spongy, bounciness. While it didn't taste like added starch fillers, it felt like the filling was over mixed/blended in a machine. This might not bother you if you didn't grow up with this style or dumplings. By all means this was a decent meal in tourist town. read more

My friend and I stopped here randomly when she saw the Michelin recommended sticker. We decided to just order some appetizers since we were on our way to a show. We sat at the big table in the back by the bathrooms (the communal table) and order three things: the mushroom buns, scallion pancakes with beef and the duck buns. The mushroom buns were okay. Didn't have much flavor. The duck fried buns had more flavor but not as much filling I would have liked. I thought the scallion pancakes were the best with the seasoned meat inside. Very good. Overall service was a bit slow since we were in a rush but typical Chinese food. read more

The best part of the restaurant was the cleaner gentleman who was kind and patient. The women there was very rude and they have forced gratuity on top of an add tip option which i tried to refuse because they were rushing me out but did not allow it . I feel for the cleaner he was being screamed at by the women host during my dinner. Food was mid. Would not go back . They also pick and choose which time to close so don't believe they are open until 10:30 they will lie and say they are out of items to leave early. read more
