Kungfu Newbury. What can I say apart from spot-on.
Id read the reviews, seen the mass queues and decided that the ratio of bad reviews to the amount of people still going in was worth the visit. And it was well worth the 39 pounds paid for the two of us.
Whats the best way of doing it ? I found out that getting a plate, running round looking at what they have, trying to decide, placing food on plate, still looking, placing more food on plate, going to table and eating isnt the best way as "Yes" some of the food begins to cool.
The second time I went straight to what I wanted, piled up the plate and then went back to eat piping hot food. Also before getting food get yourself settled, coats off, get the drinks and then go look round and see what you want. Then get a plate and start piling up, then get back to table and enjoy.
Kungfu Newbury. Dont lose what you're doing now, keep up the great work and you will constantly get repeat customers. I know I will be going back again. My partner has even said she wants to try the takeaway service as well.
Also last comment. Dont go on a friday, saturday or sunday night which will get busy. We went on a tuesday and was just out of this world.
Update. Dont go for the takeaway. 5.99 at night for one tub. If you get a proper chinese takeaway curry you get two tubs, one for rice and one for the curry. And why does it cost one pound at night than during the day ? Come on kungfu. Give two plastic tubs min for...
Read moreSunday lunch here today. Thought wed chance it as driven in from Oxford for an event and had a hungry teen on board. Lots of empty trays. Food cold. Service from most of the staff awful. Guy supposedly seating us took his time at the til to the point where the lady, who I assume is the manager, snatched the drinks menus from him and seated us herself. Then proceeded to shout at him loudly in front of everyone. Partner asked same guy if the gyoza would be replenished as those out (2) were dry and hard. He put his head in the kitchen. Nope. Partner approaches lady manager... she goes off into the kitchen again shouting. I understand her frustration.. shes doing her best but seems to have very fed up, nonchalant staff. Hot as hell in there despite huge air conditioning units which did not appear to be on. The fumes from the open kitchen doors were overpowering to the point where my partner had to go outside. Teen left most of the food and said there was no way she was eating it. Home now for a few hours and partner has had the most awful upset stomach. Teen has gone to bed. Touch wood it hasn't gotten me yet! We obviously will not be...
Read moreWe have been to this restaurant several times and each time we have noticed it going down hill. We visited around 6.30pm on a wendnesday and was greeted by a young girl who couldn’t even manage a smile, then was led to a table right next to the window that was in full view of all passers by, we asked if we could sit somewhere else as there was loads of empty tables, the man bluntly said no you can’t. We then proceeded to choose our food, a lot of the trays was not marked with its contents, the food was barely warm, I then went to choose dessert which again was disappointing, Eton mess was just cream with a tiny bit of meringue, the chocolate fountain dips had already been dipped in the chocolate by children and put back on the plates and then the usual little pots of jelly. Baring in mind the restaurant had only been open for a maximum of one hour and barely had any customers in it.....not good. We also noticed how dirty the window seals and bottoms of the tables were, these couldn’t have been cleaned for weeks. I have written to the manager twice and have not received any response so felt I had to leave...
