Kum Kau

The best tasting food in the area. The customer service is excellent.

So I ordered yesterday and there was hair in the food. In both orders. I called today to let them know and they hung up on me 😂😫 I’m probably not getting food from here again. Respectfully.

Food always good, great prices. But they changed the chicken wings recipe. Still good but I like them better back in the 90's

The food was great. We ordered Orange chicken with white meat and Pepper Steak with extra steak and extra sauce. Very flavorful and large portions. Very good value for your money.

Just bad food. Kum Kau has always been my go-to for great Chinese food since I was a teenager and I’m a middle-aged adult now. One time I found a hair in my food and their response to that was so cavalier, so indifferent. Some months later I gave them a chance to redeem themselves, but each time they’ve fallen drastically short with me having to just trash my food but it’s truly that bad. And to demand cash only for subpar food is audacious. Somewhere and at some point they’ve lost their tasty touch. They’ve had a good run, but the food just sucks now.

Still as good as the old days. Prices were super reasonable for the food and specials considering the area.

I love Chinese food. They have the best fantail shrimps and pepper steak. I drive all the way to Brooklyn from Manhattan.

Ah, yes, the legendary Kum Kau Kitchen!<br>It was nostalgic, somewhat, to see that they’d returned to their, original, take-out restaurant format, just the way I'd remembered it. Alas, it is one of the two last remaining Myrtle Ave establishments that go back to the 70's, my heyday!<br>I'm fairly certain that I was one of their first customers (if not THE first), and was a consistent regular from '76 to '82.<br>Oh, the memories of coming home from Sweet Basil's Jazz Club, getting off of the GG (not the G) at Clinton And Washington, at 2:30 in the morning, and walking down to Kum Kau Kitchen for a half a fried-chicken and fried rice!<br>Well, even tho' Sweet Basil's is long-gone, and the GG is, now, just the G, Kum Kau's half a fried-chicken and fried rice is STILL a classic.<br>May they be there, on Myrtle Avenue, just off the corner of Washington Avenue, forever (‘tho, I’m afraid, I’ll never visit my former home, again)!<br>Thanks, Kum Kau Kitchen, for many fond memories!

Kum Kau was our go-to for great Chinese food when at Pratt Institute. I know it's changed owners and location on Myrtle Avenue a few times, but was pleased to see my favorite appetizer, roast pork bun, is still on the menu. They're still big and incredibly tasty.. but there wasn't as much meat in them as back in the day (late '90s). Got 3 buns for $9.<br><br>The current location is much smaller. It was busy so I guess the rest of the menu is still good, too. No seating inside or outside to eat, but has a long bench inside for people waiting for orders. Has a health department inspection sign with an A rating in the front window.<br><br>Just disappointed that in 2024, I still had to pay with cash (they have a small ATM inside).

Used to be one of my favorite places for over 25 years. They fell way off with the food. There are no Chinese people in the kitchen anymore. It is not authentic anymore. I ordered a large wonton soup and it always has white meat in it. This time they decided to cut corners and I’m seeing dark meat or mystery meat in it. The shrimp with broccoli always being my staple, it is seriously NOT THE SAME anymore. I will NEVER go back. I tried several times to see if it was just me but it isn’t. From my pics attached, what kind of meat is this? It’s certainly not breast meat (I always put the pack of noodles in that comes with the soup).🤢

It’s extremely average Chinese food. The classic sesame chicken combo was $11.50 or around that and was not great. “Chicken” was mostly just breading like any other low end Chinese takeout. Rice was decent. I wouldn’t go here over any other place, at least for this dish.

I ordered the sweet and sour chicken. I couldn’t even finish it. The rice was so small, not a pint like it said on the menu. The sauce was so red and jelly-like. For upwards of $10, it was so not worth it. I didn’t end up finishing it. The chicken smelled good but it wasn’t that good either.

decent fried rice. was really good on being spicy but for $7.50 i was disappointed to see absolutely no veggies besides rice. like the one egg is a nice touch- but that's pretty cheap to throw just onion (mad cheap) and an egg in the rice. just two pieces of broccoli woulda made me happier. but there was zero. def come back for a lunch special one day.

I don’t understand how this place has so many good reviews. Sesame chicken was soggy. Broccoli was over cooked but tough at the stem. The shrimp dumplings look gross...and one contained a hair. Really lovely! Lo Mein had no flavor. I ordered an egg roll and they gave me pork. I won’t be ordering Chinese food from here again. And neither should you. Go else where, trust me.

This is one of the best Chinese food places in the neighborhood, the restaurant is big, clean and has restrooms for the customers, the service was fairly quick and the waiter was nice keeping us hydrated with the water refills. I asked for fried shrimp and my friend asked for shrimp fried rice and the serving was alot that we shared the food in between both and we barely finished it being full at the end. The dumplings were good as well and I would really recommend this place to everyone I know and I would most definitely come back.
