Kung Fu BBQ — Restaurant in Champaign

Their food is definitely leaning more towards quality over price, though not to say that it's extraordinarily expensive or something. If you show how you can actually appreciate the quality of their food the owner will be very easy to get friendly with :P Anyways, their dim sum is most likely the best in the area (I used probably most likely because maybe I haven't tried every single place yet), especially their Xiao Longbao, which would be among the better ranks even in China. Their noodles definitely feels in-house with more effort going into it, as it's got that snap and elasticity of something kneaded extensively. Also, while not on their menu due to low order volume, you can custom order Mantou (馒头) and stuff (pictures on my takeout order, and please forget the bad lighting), and theirs is most definitely the best in the area (they claim you can't find better ones even in Chicago, but I'll reserve my opinion on that claim since I haven't explored Chicago for these types of things). Chinese might find them expensive compared to the prices in China, but they are definitely of high quality and worth the price when using an American price standard. They have a very dense and even spread of small bubbles inside, giving it a very good texture. Just one example for the effort that they put...

Honestly this restaurant has some of the worst service I have ever seen. Firstly I do not recommend every going to Kung Fu BBQ, but if for some reason you are crazy enough to go, I recommend you bring a pillow and blanket because you will be waiting a long time. I waited for 2 HOURS for my food to arrive, and wasn't even addressed by anyone at the restaurant until after 30 minutes of standing at the entrance. FYI the food was also not the best.

I wouldn't even be that mad about the 2 hrs wait and bad food if the restaurant management was at least kind and polite, but unfortunately they can't seem to do anything right. They were extremely rude to my friends and I as well, which is why I'm having to write this review. I would not recommend Kung Fu BBQ to anyone, even someone...

Terrible service. Don’t come here if you speak Chinese. The owner just treat Chinese differently, like they always be nice to everyone but not Chinese people (which where the owner from!!). We did not get the “all you can eat” service. They only gave you a very small plate every single time. And you basically have to order every time after you finish that tiny plate… It takes them FOREVER to get you the next plate, like 20 minutes. Also, you can only sit here for 90 minutes, and they keep try to kick you out when there are still plenty of time left!!! With all these terrible service we got, we are charged 15% service fee, like 9 dollars on our bill, of their terrible service…… I have no words but anger. Will not come back again. And WON’T...
