    sweet n sour fish filet
    Jessica L.

    Lot of seating inside. Everything was okay. I feel the there was lots of breading for the fish filet and beef pie. The mongolian beef was tender. The soup dumplings were ok.

    Beef noodle soup
    Christopher Q.

    The food was not very tasty and not authentic. The pricing is fair and the portions are average. We came on a Saturday afternoon and the place was not very busy. We ordered the fried pork intestines with chilies, the west lake soup, and the beef noodle soup. West lake soup:(1/5) The west lake soup had egg, and beef and pork cubes. However there were not enough beef and pork cubes for the price. It was watery and not very fragrant. The portions were average. It did not taste very good. I would not recommend this dish if you are looking for authentic west lake soup. Fried pork intestines with chilies:(2/5) The intestines were neither crispy nor soft. They were chewy and flavourless, which was surprising considering they were super oily. It also came with peppers. This dish did not impress me. Beef noodle soup:(3/5) The soup broth was quite watery and too salty. There was a lot of sliced beef. The beef tasted fine and had a fine texture. The noodles were average. It also came with some Bok Choy. Overall the noodles were quite average, considering price, taste, and portions. Service:(3/5) The waitress refilled our waters twice. However they did not clear plates after we were done using them. They were also subtly rude. The service was borderline, but I expected better from a place with only 3 tables of customers. Ambience:(4/5) Place looks modern and clean despite its age. There were some paintings on the wall. Since there was not a lot of people eating, the place was pretty quiet. Side note: they also have an iced jelly dessert for free if you leave a 5 star review. (I did not get this personally because I don't like leaving fake reviews that don't align with how I feel about the place.) Overall the ambience was nice but I could not recommend the food here.

    P13. Steam Juicy Pork Dumplings
    Cathal B.

    This is the first time I have been back here since they changed ownership and changed name a few years ago. It is really outstanding, I think even better than before. I'll have to try it more often!

    Xiao long bao. Pretty good
    Kevin S.

    Came here for dinner. Lots of Asians, very very authentic. Probably the best Chinese food in the valley. The biggest highlight for me is the toothpick lamb. If you're not a fan of lamb I understand but love the small tender morsels seasoned with mala spice. Also highly recommend the chive and meat dumplings. Picked with flavor and with a delicious light but doughy skin.

    The left over.. the main dish has too much MSG. Pls check with the sever. This is spicy stir-fried dry pot.
    Mao S.

    I ordered spicy stir-fried dry pot. I feel that this has lots of MSG. Almost too excessive. It has that strong after taste numbing feeling to it. Also the water provided tastes really bad.. like a bad tap water. Business owner. Pls invest in water filter system. You tap water with ice has strong bad taste. Not drinkable. Thank you. The ambiance was nice and clean. It was difficult to give tip bc of the taste.

    K13. Pork Ribs Noodle Soup
    Shirley S.

    Kungfu Kitchen has THE BEST Xiao Long Bao in the Valley. I've been coming to this restaurant for years, even since they were known as Chou's Kitchen. I've also been to numerous other local Asian restaurants. None has matched the Steamed Juicy Pork Dumplings you'll find here. The wraps are whisper thin and delicate, the pork is tasty and ... the soup is flavorful; not an afterthought. I'd give 10 stars if I could! I've sampled many other dishes here, too. The Scallion Pancakes are always served hot, light and crispy. The Cucumber with Garlic Sauce is consistently cool and crispy. I just wish they'd add Shu Mai to the menu. I must give credit where credit is due. The service was perfection! I wish I could remember the Server's name. While I've been to other restaurants where the Server does the bare minimum, this woman was proactive, attentive and friendly. Her service was worth more than a 20% tip. Again, 10 stars are warranted! Since re-opening as "Kungfu Kitchen", there's been an update to the dining room. The refresh makes it look lighter and brighter. I just wish the wood- look tables were real wood instead of plastic. They seem odd to the touch. Plus, the seats slip around with the slightest movement. If it's top notch Xiao Long Bao you're looking for, look no further. Kungfu Kitchen has the best.

    Christine N.

    Still a solid place for handmade noodles. I like that they give you several different options and recommendations. Their beef noodle soup is a solid go-to here. The wait staff is courteous and the restaurant isn't cramped. I typically go when it isn't too crowded.

    Toothpick lamb
    Kat G.

    My family and I wanted to go to Chou's, but they were closed on the day we picked. But remembered this use to be the second location. Saw that their menu was similar and decided to give them a go. There was six of us but I got there early to get a table. I walked in no one greeted me and they were on their phone ignoring me, even though there was only two other tables in the establishment. Once they finally decided to acknowledge me they told me to pick a seat. I chose the big round table near the front. They got upset and told me I couldn't sit there. So I told them I had 6 in total, they gave me attitude and side eye as I continued to sit. The rest of my family came, we do have one vegan in out family so I ordered something from the menu and told them we couldn't do the brown sauce and to take out the meat, our server argued with me about it and wanted to put it in her way and it still came out wrong. We also ordered the cold meat appetizer, XLB, veg dumplings, spicy crispy chicken, toothpick lamb and spicy chili fish. The cold meat platter was literally 50% peanuts and only had two cuts of meat. Veg dumplings were pretty good. Our Pork XLB seemed cold and the first three of us ate it all in one bite and just thought maybe it was just sitting there for a while. Well the fourth person to eat it bit it in half and screamed, the pork wasn't cooked. So the other three kind of freaked out lol funny but not funny. ( only two of us ended up with stomach issues ) We told our server and she didn't seem like she cared much and just asked if we wanted another one. We respectfully declined. Their toothpick lamb was great cuts of lamb and we enjoyed the flavors. The crispy spicy chicken was actually pretty delicious as well. The chili fish had nice cuts of fish but could have been a bit more flavorful. Can't say if we will ever make the drive from Gilbert to come here again, but they need better staff.

    Hot and sour. This bowl was a small size! Really reasonable for $8
    Virginia H.

    We were in the search of some good dumplings and noodles near the campus. This restaurant is super close and was great. Food is good and affordable. Being near campus, it's definitely important to be affordable. There were only 2 of us so we got 3 dishes. Yummy! It wasn't busy since we came around 3 pm. I would highly recommend trying this place!

    Chives, Pork & Shrimp Dumplings
    Sam H.

    I've been craving toothpick lamb and definitely was in a lamb mood. I've had this dish in the past at several places, including this place before with friends and it is one of the best that is cooked well and seasoned perfectly with a nice kick. The lady that took my order was friendly. I would highly recommend this place, have had so many good and well seasoned, spicy dishes here.

    Shredded pork in garlic sauce
    Jennifer S.

    Great Chinese food with lots of choices and a range of flavors. This place is authentic and delicious.

    Mongolian Beef and Chicken Stir-Fried Noodle
    Nicole D.

    This is my go-to Chinese place and I can't believe I haven't written a review about it yet! We love dinning in due to the quick service and amazing fresh food. Our go-to plates are the Mongolian beef and the chicken stir fry noodles. I also love the Szechuan Chicken or Beef but it's really spicy so brace yourself if you want to try it. The Mongolian beef is the best dish by far tho! The sauce they are using, the super tender beef and the veggies cooked together just make it a wonderful plate. Definitely recommend this place!

    Food is really good. We ordered pork stir fry, squid and frog legs and all were delicious. My coworkers enjoyed it . They are from MY & VN and they liked it. It was fresh and well cooked. Service is great as well.

This location is a much nicer facility and in a better area than the one in Tolleson. The menu is consistent too, which made it easy for us to order our favorites. I hope you get Gigi as your server as she is very pleasant, friendly and checks on you regularly. However, the two (2) greeters at the hostess stand are a different story. It is obvious neither of them like their jobs and just come in to punch a clock. It would be nice if they at least made eye contact with the customers before they have you follow them to the table they have picked out for you. Smile? . . . that's out of the question, too. We determined by the expressions on their faces their parents probably told them since they graduated from high school they aren't going to sit around the house doing nothing all day so this must the the place they applied to.

We are fans of the local competitor and wanted to see how this one compared. TLDR: the other one is better! We each ordered the Famous Low Country Boil - mine with lemon pepper sauce and my daughter with the 88 Special, a combo of all the sauces. She went with no spice and I went with mild. We also ordered a bowl of rice. We did enjoy what we had but it seemed heavier than what we are used to. We were not big fans of the sausage mixed in and our service was fine, but not amazing. We were also disappointed that there were not scissors offered to help get the meat out of the crab / lobster - we really had to work for it! On a positive note, we did make good use of the wet wipes that were given to us as well as our bibs and gloves. It is quite a messy meal and note that I learned the hard way: don't wear white if you're planning on ordering any kind of seafood boil! Pricing is similar to the competitor. Ambiance is chill but not as fun. I would not rush back, but I also would return with reasonable expectations.

When I made the reservation, there was no option to choose a room and no mention of any seating besides the main dining room. We were seated in a separate bar room. It was nice, but it had none of the LED screens or immersive experience that make this restaurant worth the price. When I asked the hostess and manager about it, they didn't apologize. They told me I hadn't requested the main dining room and that the second room had only been added a couple of months ago. There's no way for guests to request something they don't know exists. When the bill came, we each wrote in ti add a 20% tip when my friend noticed that gratuity had already been added automatically for our table of THREE. The menu states auto-gratuity applies to parties of six, and our server never mentioned it. It's the kind of charge that could easily be paid twice. Thankfully we noticed. To top it off, the restaurant is supposed to validate valet parking for up to two hours. Staff knew we had valeted, but no one offered to validate it, so we paid full price ($15 plus $5 tip). I didn't learn about the validation until the next day, when I received a follow-up message asking about our experience. So we each paid $20 for a very subpar dining experience that was over $250 for 3 ppl. We shared one appetizer (meatballs) which were not noted to be spicy but were very spicy for 2 of us so went unfinished. We shared 2 entrees ($69 each and came with no sides) and a basket of fries and shared one dessert. And we each had one cocktail. Very pricey for what we got. The lobster pasta dish was good but the sea bass bland. With entrées averaging around $75, small portions, and no sides, I expect the service and transparency to match the price. The Valley has plenty of excellent restaurants, and I won't be returning to this one.
