“Easy to miss but Chase Bank is literally across the street so no big deal.”
“The scallion pancakes were thin like they're supposed to be, somewhat flakey, but a little disappointingly gummy in the middle.”

I got the soup dumplings here, pretty I must say, broth was yummy and the bao was cooked perfect, a little pricey but I would go back.
Service was quick, restaurant was clean. The scallion pancakes needed a lot more scallions and the house stir fry noodle, while the handmade noodles were good, tasted like chinese take out lo mein. The pork steamed dumplings were good, however. i would probably come again but just for dumplings.
First off, unless I was reviewing a papaya dog, I can't really give a place higher than three stars if they don't take card. Even Wendy's takes card payments.
Kung Fu Kitchen seems like a pretty new establishment. At the time of writing this, it only has 15 reviews or so, and has a three star rating. I decided to come in to try the 小籠包 because I've been trying them all over town, and wanted to give this place a shot as well (despite the fact that I'll rarely come back to the hell hole that is the PA area). It caught my eye because it had an open window which allowed you to see the kitchen and the food preparation first hand.
We walked in here only thinking of getting the dumplings, but a few things looked interesting on the menu. In particular, they had soy bean milk here, which I love. So I asked the waitress and she tells me that they don't have the stuff. I asked her if they just ran out for the day, and she tells me they haven't had it all week. Look guys, I understand not having a certain item on the menu, but you can't just put it on the menu and then not stock it. This just doesn't leave a good impression. Instead, I settled for some plum juice, which was mediocre.
小籠包 are very average. Not as good as the ones at Joe's or Shanghai Deluxe, and quite a bit more expensive. Wouldn't recommend. The total came out to be close to $20, and it was at this point that I found out it was cash only. It wasn't displayed on the outside of the store, so it came as quite a shock. A dirty marketing trick (or lack of).
A message to all Chinese store owners in NYC in general: this cash only thing is getting really fucking old. We all know you're just trying to evade taxes.
