Be careful

by haobing at Citysearch

My wife and I, as well as our families have been patrons of this "fine" restaurant. Granted, the food is good, but the management are both arrogant and unaccomodating. They charge double what other fine Chinese seafood restaurants offer (i.e. Live shrimp is $18/lb for tiny ones vs Ocean's Palace 18$/lb for jumbo live shrimp) yet do not offer any better service. There have been numerous occasions where I have noted to the managers that the food was either prepared poorly or that the quantity was meager and have never heard a simple "I'm sorry....how can I better serve you?" I will never come back even after all these years because the people are rude and snobbish. If you want excellent fresh/live seafood that tops this place, venture to Ocean Palace on Bellaire. YOu will find Australian crab, live shrimp, fresh mussels/clams, etc for almost half the price.

• Pros: Good food, good parking
• Cons: , Poor service, Tres expensive

Great Chinese Food!

by jenkwany at Citysearch

If you like Chinese food and have been looking for good, authentic dishes...definitely eat here! My family has been eating here for years, from the small restaurant through all the expansions. I must say, parking has gotten much better!!! For dessert, I love the mango pudding and red bean soup. When it comes to Chinese food, authencity is important!

• Pros: Great service, Authentic

Too pricey

by amysliu at Citysearch

My family has been going to Fung's kitchen for at least 10 years. Over the years, the portions are getting smaller and smaller while the prices are raised again and again. Especially for some of the vegetarian dishes, they have started substituting large shiitake mushrooms with canned bamboo shoots. That is downright cheating! Their food is still tasty, but not for that price.

• Pros: Good Food, Authentic
• Cons: Too Pricey, Portion is Too Small

Yum..Yum...Give me SUM..

by amandaton at Citysearch

I do like this chinese restaurant...even...before the renovations. The food is excellent and the menu has all kinds of exotic new things to try. I must admit that it isn't the best looking place in the world...and the waitstaff is a little rude...but almost makes it more authentic. However, the food is great!! My favorite chinese restaurant in Houston!

• Pros: food

Real Chinese Food

Our family is first-generation chinese here in Houston. Fung's Kitchen is our favorite. Great traditional dishes as well as more exotic ones.

Over Priced and Over Rated

by BF at Citysearch

It used to be a very nice, medium priced eatery, with friendly services, though at times - SLOW. Owner/Chef used to prepare old country dishes which I could not find elsewhere. Ever since the restaurant expanded, both quality and quantity of their dishes deteriorated; with slow services and higher prices when compare with other same caliber Contoness Seafood Restaurants. The chef tend to overcooked the seafoods (a deadly sin), and undercooked the vegetables. A big disappointment.

• Pros: clean bathrooms, well lighted interior
• Cons: limited parking, expensive, slow service

Waste Of Money

by Leung at Citysearch

Much, much over priced, 3 times the price of other better restaurant, and a completely waste of money adventure. It was a good restaurant 20 years aga when it just started. Now is just a wothless money pit place.

Beautiful place, doesn't make the cut

by LarryBrown at Citysearch

Fung's kitchen is a gorgeous restaurant. They have a gigantic menu and if you want exotic seafood, they've got it for you, swimming around and staring you in the face in many impressive aquariums. Examine your food closely as you eat and you may notice your carrots cut in fanciful shapes, like stars and birds.

However, despite my love for a fancy place and my low standards for what I eat, the food here does not make my cut. Once when entertaining guests we had hair in our food. Otherwise for me the food is on the bland side. Sorry.

• Pros: Beautiful, fancy
• Cons: bland

Best of the East!

by g_imperial at Citysearch

I love chinese food, but if I ever have to take friends or relatives to an excellent chinese restaurant, I take them to Fung's. Their stuffed eggplant is excellent. Their crab and asparagus soup is also very good.

Best Chinese!

by winnie_527 at Citysearch

This is ultimately the best Chinese food anywhere. I'd recommend the fish-shaped mango dessert. The service sucks, but most Asian restaurant service sucks. The portions are small for the price that you pay. Also keep in mind the refills on sodas are not free! But it is the best Chinese I've had anywhere.

• Pros: Tasty food, Parking, Location
• Cons: Price/Quantity, Service
