Best Chinese food next to Hardee's hands down. Super fresh food, great prices, although they always change. They do not deliver or take cards. Cash Only. A little inconvenient in todays day and age.

Kum Kau use to be the best in Brooklyn, over the weekend We had it after a long time. It was horrible, and sickening. Maybe they have new owners, but whatever, they are done. disgusting

Kum Kau used to be my favorite and most dependable go to Chinese takeout restaurant for years... Not anymore!!! My usual order are the boneless spareribs. I ordered them a couple of weeks ago and the ribs were not edible. For the first time I ended up throwing the order away. The ribs were way too fatty!!! Disappointing, as I will now have to order my favorite from someplace else!!! Get it together Kum Kau, you are losing customers!!!

Solid Chinese fast food. The wings were crispy and delicious. Chicken and broccoli was greasy and delicious, exactly how it tasted at my parent's old restaurant. The general tso chicken was actually quite surprising - it had more of a spicy kick than most places so I really enjoyed it. Also their pork fried rice is dirty and delish. Take-out kind of place. I don't believe they do delivery. Not all fast food Chinese restaurants taste the same, but Kim Kau is definitely one of the better ones out there. I would also like to note that JL Jupiter lied. The chicken spring roll was not good. There wasn't enough filling in the spring roll making it feel like I was just eating the spring roll wrap. Also the chicken is bland. That is all.

Kum Kau has always been a hit or miss, but this week has been more problematic than most. The quality of the food has been declining since the pandemic ended but the bigger concern is the shady behavior. I've paid 3 different prices for the same order this week, only one of which actually match the menu price. $10.70, $11.70, and $13.70 for the same portion. It concerns me primarily because I'm pretty sure for similar reasons in the early 2000's with credit card transactions are the reason why they aren't allowed to process credit cards today. You can say it's only a dollar here, and a dollar there and mistakes happen, but 3 times in a week is concerning. It lends the impression that rather than trying to discreetly skim a little off the top they don't care if you notice. I've called 311 about it, because what else can you do. My advice is count your change if you continue to eat there.

Oh My Goodness I Remembered That Restaurant Well And Yes I Remember The Waiters Are Friendly and I Speak Mandarin To Them But Now I Don't Know If I Will Be Coming back But's It Alright For Me.
For a Chinese take out this place is amazing. I normally order the basics, chicken & brocolli or beef. Nonethrless everything is pretty spot on. Kum Kao make you say wow.
I have been coming here for years food is good but they need to upgrade and make deliveries

There is no way that Kum Kau is the best Chinese food in Brooklyn, but it’s the best in the neighborhood. Been coming here for many years and it’s consistently good.
