Our go-to spot for Americanized Asian food. The orange chicken, Mongolian beef, crab rangoons, and Dynamite spring roll are our favorites.

Amazing time. Visiting Covington for a woodworking class we came here on recommendation. Wonderful atmosphere. Great staff. Great beers. Wonderful saki. Found things for us and our toddler to eat and we came by the way of the tank shuttle from our hotel in Cincinnati that allowed us adults to both enjoy what we call "spicy beverages"

Had a great dinner last week at KungFood. I have celiac and the waitress was super knowledgeable about what I could and couldn’t eat also having celiac herself. There was a dedicated gluten free menu and she made recommendations on items that were already gf and what substitutions could be madeDietary restrictions: There was a dedicated gluten free menu, the staff was very kind and helpful about items that I could eat and she made notes to have surfaces cleaned while my food was being prepared. 10/10 experience and I did not get sick after eating here!

If you're in Covington or nearby and you're undecided about where to eat, you just can't go wrong with anything on the menu at Kung Food. I've been multiple times and tried different dishes, and all are consistently delicious and generously portioned.

My hotel suggested this restaurant. The said it was small like a take out spot. We decided to eat there, best decision. Great food, professional and friendly staff.My husband likes it so much he went back a the next night. Thanks to Justin (bartender) for being situationally aware, for calling 911 and eventually saving my husbands life.I am forever grateful. Everytime I’m in CVG this will always be my go to.Thank you! Thank you!

A must have. I live in MO. I go here every year. I'm a big fan. I was a regular customer when the father started the business back in the 80-90's.

This small, tight table, busy location serves up some of the best and, if wanted, spiciest Asian food that I have found in greater Cincinnati. Entrees are good and filling. Highly recommend ordering a second to take for lunch the next day.

One of my go to places for Chinese food in the area. Portions are sharable and have good flavors. They offer pictures for their dishes for people who aren't familiar with that dishes are what. Service can be a hit or miss at times when it's busy. Walked in on a slow lunch day and had a few servers just starring at us while they conversated at the bar before greeting us a few minutes later saying to sit anywhere. Eventhough we made eye contact. Guess they had to finish their conversation before approaching us. The decor is fun and tastful with some throw back memorabilias. I do enjoy coming here and recommend it.

This place is such a gem! The food is authentic and fresh, the staff are so friendly and helpful, and the service is always fast(especially the carry out).
The decor and service were awesome! I enjoyed my meal (I got the sesame chicken) , but I would warn you not to order anything over a 5/10 on the heat level unless you REALLY love spice. I ordered mine at a 7/10 and I had to power through to finish it.

Love this place. It doesn't matter if you are getting food to go or sitting down at the restaurant it's always warm and delicious! They always pack fortune cookies and sauces so you have everything you would need to enjoy your meal! Have come multiple times and will be back again!

The bartenders and waitresses and owner are all wonderful. The atmosphere is relaxed and the food is excellent. I recommend sitting at the bar to get more of the Personal Touch but they have so much good food and terrific customer service.Vegetarian options: They have seafood dishes as well as tofu and vegetable versions with terrific saucesKid-friendliness: The atmosphere is family-friendly. Not a bar setting though it has that option it's certainly a good place to take the whole family

Nice little spot to eat. Typical Chinese food with a twist, nice spicy categories, habenero and ghost pepper. Decent liquor and beer selection. The pork belly was a little overcooked, but the pot stickers were on spot. I'll be back to try other items on the menu.
