CHINESE FOOD

by saraharends

Help! I just read the disappointing, luke-warm reviews of Fung's Kitchen. I have never been there, but I had read that it was the best Chinese restaurant in town. I was planning to take some out-of-town guests who are Chinese food aficienados! One of the reviewers said to go "farther down Bellaire" for the best Chinese food, but didn't mention the specific names of any restaurants. Come on, fellow Houstonians, let me know the real story on Chinese food in Houston. Ambience is not a priority; quality of food is. My email is UHCLC at yahoo dot com

Do Not Book Wedding Reception Here!!!

by AnniePooh

I reserved my wedding reception 1 yr in advance. 1 week prior to my reception, they confirmed 2 times with me regarding the wedding menu I picked. On the day of my reception, the manager had turned in the WRONG menu. I chose the next to the most expensive menu, but he put in the cheapest menu out of all. I was so embarrassed at the food they brought out for my guests. Although they charge me the cost for what they served, my guests said their food taste like S**T! I would NEVER pick this kind of food for my guest at my wedding! Know how they reimbursed me for their mistake besides saying sorry? Gave me $100 gift certificate to their damn restaurant. Can't believe they want me to go back there again after they ruined the most special day of my life. I had to take my friends & family out to eat after my reception to make up for the lousy food they served. Never book wedding reception with them, espcially don't believe all the crap their manager, Minh, said! I wouldn't rate their restaurant any star........Too bad I HAVE to give them 1 star to post my message! Piece of crap for such a well-known Chinese restaurant!!!

• Pros: Large, fancy establishment
• Cons: Horrible Manager

Terrible service; Glass in food

by JadeL80

What made it unique or special?I am Asian and would never EVER recommend this restaurant to anyone. The service is utterly atrocious. The first time I went to this restaurant was for weekend Dim Sum. The service was terrible then, but I thought that maybe it was just that particular day. It took months before I was willing to try the place again. When I did, it was even worse than the first time. Besides the fact that the food is only mediocre at best compared with other dim sum spots in Houston, the servers were all EXTREMELY rude. I placed my dim sum order and only ever received 1 dish in the one and a half hours I sat at my table with my husband. The hostess came out and showed me my order and stated that they brought everything that I ordered out already, but the order sheet clearly showed someone had scribbled over my other orders. She asked me what I wanted and I told her that the items she scribbled out was what I wanted. At this point, I had to leave because it took so long to get my food that I told her never mind. She brought a different dish out for me to eat right away as an apology that they didn't give me what I wanted. I bit into a dumpling where there were bits of GLASS. I immediately asked to speak with a manager but the manager refused to see me. I asked to get my check and they charged me for the full price of everything I did not even receive. I was furious and every server, hostess, manager -- you name it -- avoided coming out to talk to me. I decided it was not worth my time to argue at that time since I had to get to a business meeting and so I paid the exact amount on the check on the counter and left.

• Pros: Large establishment
• Cons: Food quality, food safety, worst service in Houston

Service Needs Improvement

by mikedw

Felt like I was being ignored where the two tables around me had lots of attention. No one checked back to see if I needed anything. I had to waive to waitress or waiter to get anything. Had to go to front counter to request my check. Second time this happenned.

• Pros: Food was hot and good
• Cons: Poor Service

Worst place ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!

by josjas

They were hosting 2-3 wedding parties, which made them short on staff. I had a big group of 20, but they were fast with drinks....caution the cups were very small, no free refills on soda nor tea, (they didn't mention that). Food was way to pricey for the food they served. Food was not great at all. I agree about the specialty rice was horrible. I had shrimp with cashews and it had no flavor at all, the cashews tasted old. Husband had sizzling beef taste was ok but portion was very small only had a few beef strips and tons of onions. Everyone ordered different plates and the only ones happy were my kids they ordered sweet and sour chicken, but they didn't like the rice:(. The waitress was very rude and could hardly understand her when she was explaining some of the dishes. There are a lot of chinese restaurants 100 times better. Will never go again, nor will I ever recommend this place to anyone. Save your money and time.

• Pros: nothing good
• Cons: everything wrong

HORRIBLE RESTAURANT

by israelpemenang

I will never ever recommended this restaurant. Specially for people who is getting married never ever try this restaurant out. Last october our good friend was hosted in Fung's Kitchen raestaurant. They pay almost 500$ each table and they deserve a nice wedding dinner. What Fung's did last time. They serve in a horrible way. The food served like 2 hours. Food came very late that caused some guest went home early.

they only put 4 person to help for that party. can u imagine that? a dinner wedding party were served by 4 small guys?

Even you complain to this owner they will never listen. That's the way of Chinese owner reacted to their customer

once again

BE AWARE OF THIS RESTAURANT ... SPECIALLY IF U WANT TO HOLD A BIG PARTY ... BETTER NOT TO CONTACT CHINESE RESTAURANT IF U WANT TO HAVE A PEACE IN MIND.

Who Makes Chicken Kew, or Hon Shoo Gai Kew?

by wadester

I have heard a lot about Fung's Kitchen, mostly all positive comments. But I have not yet tried it myself, since it's quite a distance from where we live. But can anyone in Houston tell me who makes Hon Shoo Gai Kew, also known as Hai Shue Gai Kew, or simply Chicken Kew? ......The only two places I have found that make this wonderful chicken dish in Houston are Kim Son's in Downtown Houston, and Hong Kong Chef in Bellaire, the latter of which I frequented as a child growing up in Bellaire. But now that I live South of Houston, I keep searching for other chinese restaurants who may make this dish. I can be reached at Wadester4u at AOL dot com.

Worst Dim Sum any where; avoid

by rostamroos

We had dined at Fung Kitchen for dinner the last 5 years and it has been great. Today we went for Dim Sum Sunday lunch. Lots of people and we thought it would be the usual good. THE WORST DIM SUM WE EVER HAD. The food came rarely and when it came it was on an over stuffed cart that had been going around for a while. It was not hot and barely hot. The food was old. They had a buffet steam table as part of Dim Sum, which is totally stupid. Dim Sum should be made hot and served, there should be lots of it coming all the time.

I have had Dim Sum many places including San Francisco and Hong Kong, this was not even rateable with the others. It was terrible. I don't think we go there for dinner any more. Probably new owner or some thing. We were shocked how bad it was.

• Pros: Ambience
• Cons: Dim Sum
