KungFu Bros Dumplings & Noodles — Restaurant in Westland

UPDATE: Sir, I didn't ask for a refund because "I didn't like it", I asked for a refund because it wasn't what I ordered. The police comment wasn't a threat. I DEFINITELY would have called. But I took my loss and will not return. You know I'm telling the truth! Follow your own policy, as shown in the picture below. I called first, then took the "soup" back. You didn't honor your own policy.

They lost a loyal customer today!! I ordered Hot pepper oil noodles AS I ALWAYS DO, and I received a bowl of wide noodles Pho (which I don't think is on the menu) The noodles I order typically look EXACTLY like the picture on the menu online AND on the menu board. My bowl was full of broth and topped with cucumbers and carrots (which i don't eat). Those two items aren't even listed as ingredients. So I took it back, and they wanted to make another bowl, but I didn't want another bowl. The young girl at the front desk tried to get loud and I checked her. She called her boss, who wanted to talk to me in order to understand what was wrong and requested that a pic of the noodles be sent to him. He also tried to tell me that was the correct dish. What's funny is the picture on the menu uses chopsticks to show the noodles, and I use chopsticks when I order them too. Well, i couldn't even use a fork! The noodles were so soupy that they broke apart!) He wanted to have another bowl made, but i didn't want another one and I didn't have time to wait for another bowl and asked for a refund. He refused!!! Granted, it was only $13 but it was my $13. If I like a place, I visit it often. Well, they won't see me nor my friends anymore!!! I will go the few extra miles and go to SO MOON SUSHI!! Oh, and to the owner...if and when I want pho, I go to What the Pho! I will not recommend your business to anyone anymore, and as a stylist that sees many clients, I will no longer recommend your place when clients are looking for something to eat!

I was going to call the police, but decided not to waste their time over $13. Word of mouth has a...

A mixed bag of homemade Asian dishes, that may be prepared VERY differently than what you are accustomed to.

As anyone who has read my hundreds of other restaurant reviews knows, I often like unusual foods... so bare with me here.

Kimchi - this is probably not the kimchi you are used to getting. It's a fresher, crazy salty, cabbage where the salt breaks down the cell walls, rather than a longer fermentation process. It is presented with spices sprinkled on top. I liked it, the others who dined with me hated it.

Wonton Soup - NUT WARNING! Although not specified on the menu, this soup is filled with Peanuts! This soup came with a generous amount of dumplings. The soup itself appeared to just be oil with a slightly spicy finish. No actual flavor or salt to speak. I kept adding soy sauce trying to prop it up. If you add about a 1/4 cup of soy sauce, you can get it as flavorful as the Wonton soup you are probably accustomed to. No one at the table liked this at all. With the added soy sauce, I thought it could be 'fixed' to my liking.

Cheese Rangoon - very 'homemade' looking, these have a much thinner shell than the normal "egg roll" shell you get everywhere else. Filling was the usual. Cherry Sauce was thick and sweet. Everyone liked them.

Fried Pork Dumplings - plump dumplings, but kind of on the bland side. The dumpling sauce was bland too, so you may have to add soy sauce to it (or just go straight soy sauce). Not a favorite for anyone at the table.

Lemon Water - they have a dispenser of homemade room temperature Lemon Water available for you. It was good.

So like I said, kind of a mixed bag. You might love it, you...

Found ourselves nearby and was intrigued by the website, which claims authentic Chinese food, originally aimed at Asian clients, and house-made noodles. I have been to China 28 times, and also to Korea, Japan, Malaysia and Thailand, so authentic anything sounds good to me. I was trying not to get my hopes up, but we went.

Between those in my group, we had 9 different dishes and they were all quite good. Two of them stood out for their authenticity. The soup dumplings were outstanding, and totally authentic to the Shanghai version of this dish. There’s only one flavor, but that flavor is good so no complaints here! The spicy noodle soup was also spot on, and if I closed my eyes, I could probably believe I was eating in Chongqing. I’ll add an honorable mention for the pork buns, which wasn’t exactly authentic but was honestly better.

They cannot duplicate the amazing variety of foods from China, but the ones they have ARE the real thing! They also have just a few things from other countries, too, like a Korean, marinated beef served in a volcanic bowl, and they touch Japan with a chicken Katsu. For the less adventurous, they have some of the usual Americanized dishes also, such as orange chicken and sweet and sour chicken.

Folks, it’s a small place, in a strip mall. It isn’t fancy, but it’s neat and clean. The food is good and very reasonably priced, and service was just fine and very friendly. Great big thumbs up from my family, who will be willing to drive an hour to eat...
