In my three visits they have gotten my order wrong twice. Latest time I order House fried rice and got Tofu fried rice. Ugh.

We normally have a pretty good experience here but the last 2 times have been awful. The male bartender who works here regularly is extremely rude and had an attitude with us as soon as he realized our bill wouldn’t be big as my husband doesn’t drink alcohol. Last night we went when it was busy and I understand that it’s harder to be attentive but we were completely ignored for 10 minutes and a family who had just come in was served by our waitress Tara before us. She then proceeded to ignore us the entire meal until it was time for our bill. As someone who’s worked in the service industry many years I completely understand being busy as a server but you can at the very least communicate with your customers. I hate to let bad service keep us away as we do love the food but I would definitely talk to your staff about their performance.

I had a fun and unexpected experience walking past Kungfood on my way to another restaurant but was drawn in by its clever and overtly Asian pop-culture vibe. The eclectic interior draws from all kinds of Asian cinema and cultural references, making it visually fascinating. The shotgun-style space is cozy, with the bar and dining area up front, the kitchen in the middle, and a quirky back section with restrooms, a small shop selling drinks and knickknacks, and another bar where you pick up takeout. I noticed four tables pushed together in the back and asked a server about them—they turned out to be Mahjong tables! I’m not sure if they host game nights or if the owners just love Mahjong, but it adds to the charm. The food was delicious. You can stick with American-style Chinese favorites or venture into more authentic dishes—many of which have a Taiwanese influence, as the owners are from Taiwan. Overall, it’s a wonderful little place I plan to revisit, especially to bring friends who haven’t experienced Taiwan or who would appreciate the colorful, graphic eye candy. I’d also love to see what it’s like here at night!

All of the food was sweet... Far more sweet than savory.. our waitress was extremely rude and we asked for ice water and she acted like it was an issue and only put like two ice cubes in our cup. Her attitude is what ultimately got them a one-star rating. But yeah the food was by far the worst Asian cuisine I have ever had

Unfortunately, I cannot review this place highly. I have tried both dine in and carry out. The portions are laughably small on the carryout side, especially with the way the economy is right now. $12.99 here, and I could go walk to Bridges right down the street which will give me a ton of food for a similar price, not to mention a variety in what I receive.
The atmosphere here is amazing - one of the most interesting looking restaurants I've been to in a long time. Unfortunately, the reality is that the food simply does not match the atmosphere. The portions you receive for carry out should be about 2x where it is right now to be worth the squeeze.
Outside of portions, the food itself is... okay at best. Less flavorful than your traditional hole-in-the-wall carryout joint, too. I would recommend finding one of those styles of restaurants and avoiding this one altogether based on the price tag. The amount of time waited for carry out was also high.
All that said, this is maybe my biggest disappointment when it comes to eating in Covington. Especially with my personality and interests, this seems like it would be a perfect place to eat and grab a quick lunch. Unfortunately, the atmosphere is far outclasses the food -- and let's not forget that the food is THE most important aspect of ANY place to eat, especially in this economy.

Sesame chicken was insanely sweet. Crab Rangoons were mostly wonton. Lo mein essentially flavorless.

These stars are ONLY for the HOT & SOUR soup which is not hot nor sour. It is WWWWAAAAAYYYY too sweet that it’s inedible. As a half Asian person who is a huge connoisseur of hot and sour soup and just loves it so much this was a GINORMOUS disappointment because its was just WRONG. SO. WRONG. Honestly I feel like that should even be allowed to call that Chinese food nor keep the name hot and sour soup. The name is so misleading because for real, no joke it’s a bowl of sugary corn syrup taste. So so so so horrible.
And then when I let our server know, who happens to be the manager she proceeded to be super rude and argue with me about how sweet it is. Saying it’s not sweet and it’s fine because so many other people love it. That’s fine and all but it’s NOT hot and sour soup! It’s sweet and sour.
