Was recommended this place by a friend and did NOT disappoint! Ordered take out and it arrived in perfect condition and all tasted amazing! Went and dined in on Saturday night and they were very busy and the food was all phenomenal with generous portions. The owner has bags of personality and is chatty and friendly and all the staff we interacted with were also really friendly and helpful even though they were so busy. We won't be bothering with anywhere else for Chinese food now we've discovered this place! Also a great range of drinks on offer including traditional beers and locally produced craft beers.

Kungfu is my favorite place to go for Chinese food. I have tried different Chinese restaurants and Kungfu is the best. Taste of their food never disappoints us. Food is served quickly and hot. I would say the price is reasonable as the portion is generous. The owner is friendly and loves chatting with her customers. She would recommend new dishes fitting our taste. Always good experience dining there.

This is one of my absolute favourite restaurants!! The food is fantastic and the kitchen is happy to alter spice levels for those less adventurous. Jo, the wonderful boss, can advise on dishes and talk you through the menu. Being from Shangdong in China, she has dishes she grew up with on offer and is constantly adding new items. The food is always piping hot as it’s freshly prepared on ordering and the portions are more than enough. We always end up taking some home. The atmosphere is casual and friendly and is usually bustling. Cannot recommend this place enough. We have brought many friends here and they always love the food and the experience.

Looking for the perfect atmosphere to eat with others or just by yourself? This has that plus more, Jo always welcomes everyone with a smile and beautiful service. The restaurant is exquisite in decoration, luxurious decor and authentic atmosphere with music at the perfect volume, food selection to keep your appetite at bay. Food arrives quicker than most restaurants and it’s piping hot. You also have the choice to use standard cutlery and chopsticks to help with the feel. Meat is cooked to perfection and falls apart in your mouth. Thank you Jo for your A-class service and delicious food

There’s two ways to look at this, the taste of the food and the delivery of table services.The taste of food-The beef noodles were nice but not worth the price. Felt it was too expensive.-the sweet and sour chicken with egg fried rice was nice but other Chinese places I’ve been to had better sauce.Delivery of table services- Coming to the restaurant for the first time, I told Joana (owner) if she could recommend something for me.When she came back with my order, to my surprise, she gave me beef stir fried noodles on one plate and crispy beef on the other. I told her I wanted beef with noodles as one dish and not two separate dishes. I didn’t eat the crispy beef and kindly told her there has been a mistake. At first, she seemed to be understanding but then she started to shout and verbally belittle me in front of everyone. To all the customers, she would tell them that I am a liar and kept Constantly shouting.I kept my calm and tried to explain to her husband (also owner) what had happened. He was much more collected but essentially, her word overrides his word so I couldn’t get them to drop the additional dish I didn’t order. She then charged me table service fee which I said I didn’t want to pay but she said I had to because it was mandatory. I wasn’t even told and neither did she show me where it was written. For me, trying to respectfully communicate with her and she disrespectfully shouting and being unnecessarily hostile has disgusted me. I do not recommend because that was not right whatsoever.

Good atmosphere, very tasty food waited a little while for the food to arrive and then to pay. I recommend the sweet chili tofu with pineapple.

This authentic Chinese cuisine is a fantastic restaurant.Myself and a friend experienced this restaurant last night and couldn't recommend it enough.The food was awesome, the lady owner was hilarious and made us feel very welcome.One thing to note, don't hide left over food under a serviette as the lady owner will find it and expect you to finish your food. 🤣N.B. don't order too many dishes as they are large portions.Thank you once again for a amazing night of entertainment and quality food.

Yummy Chinese halal food which is a difficult combination. Really good service. We tried their noodles, chicken, beef and lamb. All dishes were delicious! The only comment I would make is that the rice was stodgy. I personally prefer less sticky rice. Otherwise, highly recommend this place

To start the review off, I'm going to say this is hands down the best Chinese food in reading or, as one of the owners confidently says best Chinese in the world. I have tried every Chinese food imaginable here in reading, and nothing came close to the comfort or even deliciousness of the cuisine, but this restaurant has changed my mind.We ordered creamy corn, hot and sour, and the soups were exceptional. Very good for the cold. Everything else came after it from the dumplings fluffiness to the very tender chicken and meat. To top it off, the noodles and fried rice were just the perfect plates to end a very delicious and satisfactory meal. Thank you to the owners for being accommodating. This is definitely not the last time.I wish I had taken pictures before eatingA very high and super recommendation for an authentic Chinese food experience.

Wonderful authentic Chinese dish! The owner is very generous with the portion (see my takeaway box photo!) It is always delightful to visit their place. I don’t live in Reading but this place is highly recommended by my local friends. Tried it today and they are tally great! Can’t wait to try more to make good use of my time in Reading!
