I had Kum Kau last night and it was simply takeout Chinese for but everything tasted GREAT! I would definitely recommend this spot. I had Sesame Chicken, House Rice & Mixed Vegetable!
Emily WilsonMarch 25, 2018I changed my mind: KK is a super solid Chinese takeout spot essential to the Clinton Hill neighborhood. They do good sesame chicken, so I’m sold. What’s the cash only no delivery thing about, though?- Emily WilsonMarch 25, 2018I changed my mind: KK is a super solid Chinese takeout spot essential to the Clinton Hill neighborhood.

Daniel ChangDecember 31, 2015I come often for the chicken wings. Also, this is easily the cleanest Chinese restaurant I've ever seen; the kitchen is right behind the counter and it's astoundingly sanitary.- It really is the best Chinese Food in Brooklyn and seriously HUGE portions. Comes highly recommend if you're looking for Chinese.
HolidaySeptember 6, 2018Old school Chinese restaurant did not disappoint. Chicken cashew hit the spot. Super large portions. Nice servers! But bathroom could use a renovation.
Take out! Cash only though. Really good scallion pancakes and crab Rangoon with more scallions.

Call in your order B4 you get here, then take your time coming, you will wait for your food. Its faster to just sit down and eat here then do the take-out.
Shay HarborJuly 25, 2012Call ahead!!! Saves you time! ...oh and if u get chicken wings, tell them to "fry them hard" THE BEST!
Chris CooksonJanuary 29, 2012Portions here are giant, the place often has beggars by the door but food's good. Don't bother with the restaurant portion, prices are way higher there with same take-out food. Make sure to call ahead
- Brooklyn's beloved Chinese take-out spot! General tso's shrimp and teriyaki beef sticks are my favorites.
Chuck GibsonAugust 16, 2011Egg fuyoung is killer. Really great quality Chinese food, so good they dont need to deliver - carry out and dine in only.
drew newellNovember 15, 2011Try The Scallion Pancakes !! Thank me later while your sipping on the homemade Iced Tea !!! Nostalgic !!!
Jaz CastellanØsAugust 9, 2012place is always super packed but the food is yummers....especially the crab,ginger and scallion combo
Frederik KastrupsenNovember 26, 2018We didn’t get what we ordered, and what we did get was NOT yummy... the dumplings was mostly dough and didn’t have that much flavor.. the ma pu tofu was flavorless and had uncooked peas..- TheD2Life.comSeptember 4, 2010Kum Kau has the best Chinese Food in Brooklyn! Our favorites are the General Tso's Shrimp, and the Seafood Soup
- drew newellJune 12, 2013Scallion Pancakes is tha truth!! I live in Harlem and i don't even order Chinese Food There!!!!
SAMMY M.December 16, 2011Everything that you get from here is good,and they are not cheap with their food ..
Polish Bar Brooklyn Polish BarOctober 29, 2011Yeah we are the pink and brown nail bar across the street from Kum Kau- Gotta be famous for something, why not that. lol. #ShopBrooklyn
The shrimp wonton soup is my fav during the winter months.
Rasheda EdnessJanuary 19, 2016This spot has terribly fallen off. My mom got sick from the soup and my friend said the food was nasty. 10 yrs ago this was the spot but not sure why the food has gone down
Try any one of the home made lemonades. You will not be disappointed. The food goes without saying.
Andrew SwanMarch 8, 2015I was lured in by the rating but this was terrible... dim sum came out with frozen meat in the middle. Breading on General Tso's was not fully cooked.
Liam PittmanJuly 9, 2010Don't be fooled by the take-out half of the storefront, they're sit-down restaurant is legit.
Juan PerezApril 2, 2011The Shrimp are REAL Shrimp not sea monkeys like most other Chinese restaurants

"While Kum Kau is better if you want a specific entree, New Grace is an excellent place to go with friends for lunch for their affordable buffet style entrees. Good variety and large portions for $5"
