Fast and Fresh Food

by brooklyn1391 at Citysearch

I've lived in the area for many many years and I always loved their food. All new comers to the area are just finding out about this spot. People from all over Brooklyn come to Kum Kau because they know good food when they taste it. So as far as I'm concerned this is one of the best fast food chains I've been coming to and will still come for years to come.Their shrimp are always fresh and large in their dishes. I give them two thumps up always. Keep Up The Good Work Kum Kau!!!!!!!!!!

  • Pros: Great Food Always Fresh
  • Cons: No Delivery
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Best Chinese in the city

by maiava at Citysearch

We LOVE Kum Kau - when we first moved to the neighborhood several years ago, it was the one place we could count on for consistently great food. The food is delicious and FRESH, and the portions are huge. There's no delivery service - take-out and in-restaurant dining only - and yet they're always busy! When you taste the food, you'll see why. My favorites are the General Tso's shrimp and the kung pao chicken. YUM!!!

  • Pros: Delicious, fresh food, fast prep,
  • Cons: no delivery
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Great Chinese in Brooklyn!!

by kholmes71 at Citysearch

This is great spot for late night dinner. The food is good even though the decor is not all that great(even though they recently did some work) but it is still romantic. I had the spicy beef and the pau pau platter which is delicious. Every one in Brooklyn goes here. The prices are reasonable. We found a parking spot right outside of the restaurant but that was at night it is definitely harder during the day. This place is good for kids, dates and for everyone else. The service was good also, we were seated right away. No reservations are necessary.

  • Pros: Price, huge portions, great food
  • Cons: none
