Kungfu Bistro

Varied menu offering different types of Asian-​food (Chinese, Thai, etc.). They have these awesome fried dumplings that are served with a maple glaze sauce. OMG! Sooo good. We also ordered two main dishes, one of chicken and one of rice. The chicken was good, but the rice was only so-​so. It was served wrapped in a leaf (banana?) and had a smoky taste for some reason. We will be going again and sampling other dishes.

Second to none, hidden gem of a restaurant. Small but service and food is outstanding. Black bean hot sauce rocks.

We had lunch delivered from this restaurant and from the lady that took our order to the gentleman who delivered it quickly the word professional does not come close. Then there is the food the best won ton soup on the planet. The spring rolls, almond guy ding and chicken fried rice were perfect! By far a top choice at a very reasonable price.

We enjoyed the atmosphere and the owner was really nice and easy to talk to.
The food was ok but nothing overly great. The chicken balls were a little hard and dry and my son spit out one because it was gristly.
Not sure we’ll go back anytime soon. We still prefer Lucky Dragon.

I don’t write many reviews (on Unilocal or any other sites) but a great experience deserves to be called out. Our family of five arrived here around 7 and the place was hoping. A couple of people waiting for take out and most of the tables full. While we waiting our turn my wife found they had some comic books including Avatar so my kids were kept happy looking at them Nice item #1.
There was one four top available but a couple of the staff stopped to rearrange things to fit us all. Nice little item #2. The waitress came right over after we were seated and got us drinks. They have a 2 craft beers from local Covered Bridge brewery. My wife had the Amber Rose and I the Dirty Blonde. Nice item #3
We ordered quickly and the food started arriving soon after. The Pork dumpling appetizers in a Maple infused sauce were the best I’ve ever had. The Chicken Harmony with it’s peaches and cream sauce is also excellent. The only issue we had was with the Cantonese Lo Mein which was a little salty. When we mentioned that at the end of the meal as why we weren’t taking that dish the waitress mentioned it to the kitchen and they fixed it up. Not sure what they did but we will try it for lunch tomorrow. Either way a nice touch for a dish we had written off.
Great staff, food and ambiance.

Joined Unilocal to give a review to this restaurant. My family and friends always rave about how great the take-​out is at this spot so we normally order Chinese from here, however until a couple of weeks ago I had never dined in… Honestly, we were pleasantly surprised! The server was great, extremely attentive and knew the menu very well, when she brought over the food (we ordered thai soup, mango salad, and sushi. yes, sushi. Which was very creative and tasty!) she carefully and eloquently explained all of the ingredients on the plate. The food was really good, not really a surprise since we has ordered from there before. but what did surprise me is the size of the dine in menu! I didn’t realize they offered sushi and other Asian inspired dishes in addition to the traditional western Chinese food.
I don’t eat meat, which can be tricky at some restaurants but they were very open to this modifications in their curry soup dish, which was really nice, also a clear indication of how fresh the ingredients are. Will continue to order take-​out from here and hope to dine in again soon!

Best Chinese food in west Ottawa. We order our here all the time but they also have a beautiful restaurant. Egg rolls are fantastic.

Super little Chinese Food Restaurant in Stittsville. Came for the crispy egg rolls and they hit the spot. Singapore street noodles tasty with a good bite at medium spicy. I’ll be back next time I’m in these parts!

Excellent excellent excellent food, and customer service!
My boyfriend and I have ordered from Kungfu Bistro twice now, and it won’t be the last time!
The first time we ordered pretty close to closing time, but the girl who I ordered from said to start driving as soon as she finished taking my take out order. I thought it was rather strange, but we did anyway.
Good thing we did, because it only took 10 minutes to get there, buttt it was ready when we got there!
We got a few different dishes — but the only one I can really remember is the peaches and cream chicken — it was absolutely to die for!
The second time around, food and service just as amazing!

Love this place. The best Chinese food in the City

My husband and I had dinner here the other night. The place is not that big and we didn’t have reservations, so we had to wait about 20 minutes or so (it was a Friday night). There’s a tiny little waiting area near the back of the restaurant.
We started off with the egg rolls. They are open-​ended and were quite tasty. They were a little too salty, but they were flavourful and not overly greasy.
Then for our mains we had the Spicy Kungfu Beef, Shrimp Harmony and Pad Thai. Note that the dine-​in prices are a little bit higher than on the take-​out menu (which is also the only menu available to view online). Not by much, maybe $ 0.50 to $ 2.00 depending on the dish.
The Spicy Kungfu beef (described as «blue belt spicy» i.e. medium) was not all that spicy. It was our first time there, so I wanted to see what their regular medium spice was (as I’ve ordered «medium» at some other restaurants and my mouth was on fire). Had I known what it is here, I would have ordered it «black belt spicy» i.e. hot. This dish was ok, but I wasn’t too crazy about it. The batter was not as crispy as I would have liked. It bordered on soggy. Portion size was good, note that all you get is the battered and deep fried beef, there are no veggies in this dish.
The Shrimp Harmony was certainly an interesting dish. It is battered and then deep fried shrimp in a creamy peach sauce with peach slices. It is served on a bed of deep fried vermicelli noodles. There were 2 pieces of broccoli and a slice of carrot as garnish (these were our only vegetables for the meal because we thought that the beef and shrimp dishes would come with veggies, as most places add veggies as fillers, but surprisingly not Kingfu Bistro). This dish is very sweet — almost cloyingly sweet. However, it was unique and different from anything I’ve ever tasted before.
The Pad Thai was probably my favourite of them all. I love the fact that they use crushed almonds instead of peanuts. They also sprinkle they call it «roasted garlic» but it tasted like pieces of fried garlic (you know like those fried onions in green bean casseroles, or on burgers?) on top of the Pad Thai. There was plenty of medium-​sized shrimp. There was also chicken and eggs. There was no tofu filler. We had also requested no bean sprouts or cilantro, which they accommodated readily. The Pad Thai is described as «strong blue belt spicy» i.e. medium-​hot. It had a bit of kick to it, but I could have easily tolerated more (and I’m no heavy-​weight when it comes to spice). There was a slightly stronger fish sauce smell and taste to it than at most mainstream restaurants, but it was not off-​putting or anything. It was quite tangy and sweet and I enjoyed it.
The service was excellent. Everyone was really nice and attentive. They re-​filled our waters without us having to ask. A lady who I think might have been the owner, or maybe a manager, came up to our table and chatted with us a bit. She said that she noticed that all the dishes we ordered were on the sweet side. I commented that I didn’t realize that until the dishes came out and we tasted them. She asked if we wanted to order something more savoury and less sweet to balance everything out, gave us some recommendations and said that they could whip it up really fast, but we declined. Since the portions were a good size, we had leftovers. We asked them to pack up the dishes to go. When we got home we noticed that they even labelled the containers. What a nice touch!
Spice levels are on the tame side, so if you like spice, go hotter than the default. And remember to order vegetables, because the meat dishes (at least the ones we ordered) don’t have any vegetables as fillers. The Pad Thai doesn’t have vegetables either — although Pad Thai usually doesn’t, but I’ve had Pad Thai with anything from green and red peppers to baby corn to broccoli in it (!)
It’s in a strip mall so there is a lot of parking available. The décor is «Kungfu» so Bruce Lee stuff and Kungfu figurines all around.
Overall food was pretty good and service was excellent!

Take is great never eaten in. Peach shrimp is our favourite

Awesome customer service and equally as good food!

I had high hopes, but admittedly low expectations for this place. Most Chinese places in the burbs will cater to the nearby families who like chicken balls, garlic spareribs, and no spice whatsoever. Which makes sense if that’s how they are going to make their money. You aren’t going to get a Chinatown-​style restaurant in Stittsville. Period. But every place is worth a try.
We came in for a pre-​noon lunch and were the only ones in the restaurant. The place is nicely decorated. It’s brightly lit, and not cramped. No complaints about the atmosphere. I was happy to see that the dine-​in menu has more items than the take-​out menu. I had picked up a take-​out menu earlier in the week and was disappointed to see all the same fare you see at all other Chinese take-​out places. But the dine-​in menu has a few interesting items, like hot-​plates and hot-​pots and some interesting starters and other dishes. The servers were very polite and enthusiastic. They took the time to take us through the menu and explain some of the items to us. Our order was accurate and prompt. So no complaints about the service, either.
Me and my brother ordered three dishes plus steamed rice. We got the Kunfgu beef, the seafood medley hot-​plate, and the 3-mushroom+baby corn chicken. The kungfu beef was your standard crispy beef dish with a house sauce. I thought it was okay. It tasted fresh and flavorful, but it was nowhere near as spicy as I thought a «blue belt» item was going to be. I assume (hope!) they can make it spicier if asked. But it was just alright. The seafood hot-​plate was pretty good. They serve it on a searing hot skillet with fresh stir-​fried veggies and shrimp/​scallops/​mussels. I really liked the mushroom and corn chicken. I believe you can get the M&C mix with any kind of meat, and I found there was a surprising amount of flavor coming from the veggies alone. Neither of those two items came doused in sauce. And nothing at this restaurant is cooked with MSG. So they really rely on the meat and veggies for flavor in the sauce-​less dishes. I’d say it works pretty well. When I want a stir-​fry dish, I expect to taste mainly the veggies and meat. The lack of MSG was noticeable. I noticed I was not regretful and half-​dead when I was done eating as I normally am after Chinese. Overall, I would call the food «good». Fresh, hot, quality ingredients, and nice presentation.
My main complaint is with the price/​portion size. Our three dishes + rice came to $ 48.50. I would normally expect to pay that much, I guess, but I’m OK with it because I assume I’m carrying home leftovers. However, the portions sizes were small enough that my brother and I had no trouble finishing everything. We were full and satisfied, but no leftovers to take home. Perhaps we’re just fatasses, but I swear that most Chinese places are more generous with their portions. It left my wallet stinging, that’s for sure.
I gave it four stars because the food was fine, and the effort was definitely there. It «felt» healthier than most Chinese places and it is definitely better than any other Chinese place in Stittsville. I’ll probably visit again because they have a few other interesting items I’d like to try. But I’ll probably wait until I’m feeling wealthy again.
