Reviews Kung Fu Kitchen

I genuinely believe this place deserves higher rating than most place in Duluth! I'd admit that the service is usually slow and we often feel neglected, the food mostly amazing! If you are craving crispy duck, this is the place to go! They are more traditional with the thin wraps rather than the buns! We usually ask for 2 servings of wraps with the ducks. the The cuts of the duck usually depends on who/how they cut it but mostly they are delicious. I think their duck is more fatty than most places but it's not overwhelming. The 凉粉 (cold noodles) here is absolutely a delight! This is the one with glass noodle. I love how the Mala spice is just right! Though I wish they gave more cilantro as toppings, I think their noodle is more superior than the one at Taste of China! Honestly this place deserves more love!

Decided to try this new place out since I’ve never been and heard some good things about it. I can safely say it did not disappoint, the building is newly renovated and has a nice atmosphere though there isn’t much to do about the slightly oily feeling on everything. The food is REALLY high quality, I’ve never seen a pecking duck done this way before; it came to our table with a golden glow and was diced amazingly by the manager himself. The little wraps are a nice touch since other restaurants tend to use steamed buns instead and those fill you up way too fast after just a couple. The portions are big enough to feed 3 to 4 people depending on how much you eat and the wait staff are very professional. The man who I believe to be the manager took great care of us, I think part of why there are so many one star reviews is due to the fact that there might be a communication issue. The staff are able to make modifications to the food but you have to be able to explain what you want clearly. Saying that they discriminate based on race is just wrong. Overall I’d give this place a 9/10 only due to the fact that the sweet tea isn’t made in house and doesn’t really taste all that great. But I’d definitely come back for more in the future.

TL;DR - Try their duck dish!!! I highly recommend you try their small appetizers. We got Okra and Beef Tripes. The okras are crunchy. Based on the texture, I suspect they were quickly soaked in hot water and pulled out. Sauces are drizzled on top of them right afterward. The sauce is thick because of the okra. The soy-based sauce is not very salty. Combining with okra, the sauce brings a unique texture. Beef Tripe is spicy but with a linger of sweetness at the end. Be careful with spicy after kick if you don’t eat spicy food. We are not going to talk too much about other dishes. Some of them are a hit or miss. I have been here twice in the past month. My suggestion is to avoid any fried meat dishes. The two we got this time are either overly fried or overly sweet. Looking at the color of the meat, you can tell it’s fried in reused grease. Of course, you want to know about the main dish, which everyone comes here for—the Beijing Duck. I am glad to see a restaurant serving unique Chinese cuisine! I have to give the restaurant a higher rating just for that. For the dish, the server brings a whole duck in front of your table. Then, they will peel and slice the skins off the duck. They will provide you with dishes of sliced onions, cucumbers, wraps, and hoisin sauce. Mix them and wrap it up like a burrito! The greasy and crispy texture from the duck, the sweetness from the hoisin sauce, and the vegetables provide a balanced flavor!! However, the duck meat is not as flavored as I would like. In addition, depending on which waiter is preparing your duck, you might get some crispy duck skins or chunks of duck meat. You want crispy duck skins!! Lastly, I am amazed if you are still reading. I hope you enjoy this place!! I don't have much to say about the service and pricing. Make sure you look through both menus. One has more appetizers and smaller plates.

Never had frog or duck before, but it was fantastic. Service is pretty solid when they aren’t super packed, but it can get fairly busy. The duck was super rich, and it was a great overall first experience.
