I haven't been here since the pandemic! I was really surprised that the food was still delicious and very tasty! The amount they give you is huge too! We had family style and all the food takes me back to my childhood days! The service was good and you can validate your parking for 3 hours and paid $2 at the parking lot on Wentworth and Cermak! It's a real good deal! The restaurant was pretty busy with a few large groups of ladies for a Saturday afternoon!

It has been awhile since we have eaten here and I forgot how good the food was. This time around we came for lunch and had a 10 course meal (unfortunately did not get a photo of all the dishes). This restaurant is good at the home cooked dishes and if you want to eat some good home cooking, this is the place. Steamed egg, minced pork, not typical dishes you find in the restaurants. The chicken was also done really well too, oh how I have missed this dish. Everything was good today. The restaurant isn't all that big, but there are large tables to seat big groups.

Kam Fung is off the main road through Old Chinatown, about half a block away from the hustle bustle. It didn't appear too crowded, although this was on a cold weekday night. Still, the restaurant got busy enough that they ran out of seats for smaller parties - we (a party of two) were seated at one of the banquet round tables made to seat 8+ guests. I had a good laugh because additional people came in and so the restaurant seated another couple across from us at the same table - a true Cantonese experience.That being said, I didn't have any complaints about the service. We had our order taken quickly and the food came out quickly as well. Food-wise was where everything shined. As others have mentioned, this place is known for their claypot rice, and it really is fantastic. If you order the eel one, they will take the leftover eel parts and cook it into a soup, which tastes very umami. The claypot rice perfectly stuck to the sides of the serving dish, creating a crunchy exterior that went perfectly with the small cuts of fish. We of course ordered a vegetable dish, which had a good flavor of wok hai. Portion sizes were manageable for two people, and we had ample leftovers with just these three dishes.Overall, I was very impressed with Kam Fung and am looking to come back soon. The claypot rice was perfect for the chilly weather, and it'll only get better as winter rolls into town.

This is another lowkey restaurant located in old Chinatown. Upon walking in, all you see are regular locals eating here. They are well known for their rice clay pots, especially the eel one. Make sure to order ahead for this because it takes a little longer to prepare! While the eel meat is used in the rice dish, the eel bones don't go to waste! They are roasted and turned into an eel and tofu soup. It's super flavorful and milky (we were too excited for it and i forgot to snap a pic ~sadness). The rice clay pot came SIZZLING, and the server helped us mixed it and scraped off the crunchy rice all around the sides and bottom of the pot. It was so good, a must try if you come here. We also ordered salt & pepper squid, deep fried intestines, and garlic pea tips. Everything was very fresh and flavorful.Overall, if you are looking for a satisfying, yummy, cantonese style meal, definitely give Kam Fung a try!

The go-to spot for Taishanese/Cantonese homestyle food. My family loves this place for dining in, the wait staff knows them.I will also try to get takeout regularly, sometimes it's hard to order in English though. It's the price to pay for some great food. I don't take it personally.

Hole in a wall canto spot that's great for family style dinning. Byob is a plus! What to get: - sweet and sour spare ribs/pork (great tang to it)- enoki mushroom veggie stir fry- salt and pepper Japanese tofu (very crispy!)- lobster was fine, normal - beef ho fun was fine, normal - salt and pepper shrimp was fine, size was large- free range chicken was fineWhat NOT to get:- walnut shrimp (too much Mayo, shrimp is too breaded)- mapo tofu (southerners just can't get this right)- Szechuan green beans- curry beef brisket casserole (bland curry, gristly beef)- lamb casserole See a theme? Stick to the canto dishes and you will be just fine! We would come back for more fam bam dinners. 9 people with 10 dishes (and free soup at beginning and free dessert soup at end) was $190 + tip.

I'm in college and decided to go to Chinatown to try some new food. Food was so mediocre. I decided to leave a 10% tip and the lady had the audacity to demand 18% tip instead. That is outrageous. I've never been to a restaurant and someone demanded me to tip more than I originally tipped. I wasn't in a big party or anything, just 2 people eating, and made sure to not leave a mess. My bill was only $40, we didn't even order anything crazy. DON'T COME HERE. They are super greedy.In addition, there are some suspicious illegal activities going on in the back. There are side rooms where kids were walking in and out with beer and alcohol.

I'll have to agree with another reviewer that the owner is kind of rude.The employee (waitress) who took my order was friendly though. Usually, I thought the employees would be rude and boss nice, but not this place.Anyway, they make a good curry beef brisket.Of the two times I was there, I ordered Peking pork chop, curry beef brisket and salt pepper smelt fish. They're tasty. I'll look at other cantonese restaurants to see if anyone else make as good curry beef brisket casserole as them.Until then, I'll only go here when I'm craving the curry brisket.

Good traditional Chinese cuisine cooked with enough wok hei (wok hay). The service & ambience is nothing special, but the food more than makes up for it. The restaurant is frequented by a lot of Chinese, young & old, so you know it is good.
