Food here was very delicious and surprisingly affordable! The Bento Box just cost $20 dollars and look all it brings! I was very satisfied and took some food home. This is a small comfy place in Myrtle St. perfect for a date with your partner or friends. Staff is very welcoming and friendly. Definitely great place for some sushi, tonkatsu, chicken teriyaki and pumpkin soup.

Always has great food the spicy tuna by far my favorite. The chicken tempura roll is super crunchy and the flavors blend well together.

I don’t remember what I ordered exactly but the beef from this noodle was amazing. It’s very tender and soft, making it easy to consume. The noodles were fine, though a bit dry because it was stir fried.

One of the best omakase’s in Brooklyn - every course is its own creative and unique experience of flavors singing in harmony! Not only is this the freshest fish and seafood, but the chef is so attentive to ensuring each bite is exquisite. I love the purism of just fish, but the subtle adjustments of adding some truffle here, caviar there, pickled yuzu, foie gras and wait for it…gold sparkles - just enhances the flavors of the fish. Not only is it incredible but the value is great. 12 courses for $88 or 19 courses for $108 with the most attentive service is such a deal. This place opened mid 2025 while next door is the restaurant from the same owners that have been around for 20 years. Definitely go check them out!

Hate to give this review because I love the ability to make a last minute reservation and get in but this is one of the best omakase experiences I’ve ever had. No frills- great service, insane culinary experience that leaves me in awe. This should be your new favorite omakase in the city!

First time order take out from the website. The transaction was smooth. Portions are good. The maki rolls are well-made: Rice to fish ratio is good. The sashmi is fresh. Will order again. Glad I finally tried the neighborhood spot.

Wonderful experience. For the price, the quality is excellent and it comes with your choice of a bottle of sake as well. Both the head chef and the owner were sweet, welcoming, and hospitable - the experience from start to finish was warm. Chef Jay was experienced, creative, meticulous, and talented; the dishes were curated with precision and care and were absolutely delicious. Can't wait to go back, would recommend 10/10

I have been to quite a few omakase and Yamashiro is by far the best experience that I had. The chef Jimmy studied in Japan for 5 years. I learned so much during the dinner regarding different fishes characteristics. They get the fish freshly from Japan. I learned to appreciate the difference in taste and texture of different salmons. The food is ridiculously good. The service is impeccable. My sake was filled quietly with every sip I took. I highly recommend the restaurant. Too bad I am from out of town, or else I would definitely be a regular there.

The food was great. We ordered Orange chicken with white meat and Pepper Steak with extra steak and extra sauce. Very flavorful and large portions. Very good value for your money.

I love this restaurant. I have not been around in years and the sitting section is gone, but the food is still as fresh and delicious as I remembered. So many options of dishes to choose from. The restaurant is clean and the owner is very nice. You want an amazing experience with great Chinese food, come here, you will not be disappointed.

Samuel Rodriguez

Still as good as the old days. Prices were super reasonable for the food and specials considering the area.

Genesis Serrano

I love Chinese food. They have the best fantail shrimps and pepper steak. I drive all the way to Brooklyn from Manhattan.

Ah, yes, the legendary Kum Kau Kitchen! It was nostalgic, somewhat, to see that they’d returned to their, original, take-out restaurant format, just the way I'd remembered it. Alas, it is one of the two last remaining Myrtle Ave establishments that go back to the 70's, my heyday! I'm fairly certain that I was one of their first customers (if not THE first), and was a consistent regular from '76 to '82. Oh, the memories of coming home from Sweet Basil's Jazz Club, getting off of the GG (not the G) at Clinton And Washington, at 2:30 in the morning, and walking down to Kum Kau Kitchen for a half a fried-chicken and fried rice! Well, even tho' Sweet Basil's is long-gone, and the GG is, now, just the G, Kum Kau's half a fried-chicken and fried rice is STILL a classic. May they be there, on Myrtle Avenue, just off the corner of Washington Avenue, forever (‘tho, I’m afraid, I’ll never visit my former home, again)! Thanks, Kum Kau Kitchen, for many fond memories!

Kum Kau was our go-to for great Chinese food when at Pratt Institute. I know it's changed owners and location on Myrtle Avenue a few times, but was pleased to see my favorite appetizer, roast pork bun, is still on the menu. They're still big and incredibly tasty.. but there wasn't as much meat in them as back in the day (late '90s). Got 3 buns for $9. The current location is much smaller. It was busy so I guess the rest of the menu is still good, too. No seating inside or outside to eat, but has a long bench inside for people waiting for orders. Has a health department inspection sign with an A rating in the front window. Just disappointed that in 2024, I still had to pay with cash (they have a small ATM inside).

Used to be one of my favorite places for over 25 years. They fell way off with the food. There are no Chinese people in the kitchen anymore. It is not authentic anymore. I ordered a large wonton soup and it always has white meat in it. This time they decided to cut corners and I’m seeing dark meat or mystery meat in it. The shrimp with broccoli always being my staple, it is seriously NOT THE SAME anymore. I will NEVER go back. I tried several times to see if it was just me but it isn’t. From my pics attached, what kind of meat is this? It’s certainly not breast meat (I always put the pack of noodles in that comes with the soup).🤢

This is one of the best Chinese food places in the neighborhood, the restaurant is big, clean and has restrooms for the customers, the service was fairly quick and the waiter was nice keeping us hydrated with the water refills. I asked for fried shrimp and my friend asked for shrimp fried rice and the serving was alot that we shared the food in between both and we barely finished it being full at the end. The dumplings were good as well and I would really recommend this place to everyone I know and I would most definitely come back.

I haven't been here in almost 30 year and went today. Still the best butterfly shrimp with bacon. So delicious!

Great chinese food! I usually go to Lucky's House Chicken on Lewis Ave. and Halsey St. I will definitely come here again next time I visit Brooklyn.

Solid sushi spot that hits the spot when you’re craving sushi and other Japanese food. The lunch specials are a good deal. They also have a few non-Japanese items too, like soup dumplings, which are decent.

decent fried rice. was really good on being spicy but for $7.50 i was disappointed to see absolutely no veggies besides rice. like the one egg is a nice touch- but that's pretty cheap to throw just onion (mad cheap) and an egg in the rice. just two pieces of broccoli woulda made me happier. but there was zero. def come back for a lunch special one day.

This use to be my favorite spot but not anymore. It seems like a mix of Chinese and Mexican. The fried rice is not traditional. The sweet and sour chicken were small chucks and the batter smell like …

Food is great. Service, however, sucks. You will easily wait 10-15+ minutes after the quoted pickup time, you’ll be told “just a couple more minutes” for half an hour, and the whole process is excruciating. I don’t recommend ordering to pickup from this restaurant at all unless you want a headache.

It’s extremely average Chinese food. The classic sesame chicken combo was $11.50 or around that and was not great. “Chicken” was mostly just breading like any other low end Chinese takeout. Rice was decent. I wouldn’t go here over any other place, at least for this dish.

Though not as good as they were even two years ago. The food is still palatable. The chicken wings and fries are safe as is the general tsos.

The food was very salty and not like how I knew it use to be. My family and we're very disappointed with our food. When ever I want good tasting Chinese food this was my go to spot, not anymore.

I got bbq boneless ribs and fries with a pork eggroll. First thing the ribs tasted like they put to much of 1 season and they were over cooked seemed like the were reheated. The fries were 100% reheated. The only thing that was fresh was the damn eggroll … the level of disappointment I felt is indescribable. Update: I decided to give them another chance and I regret it 26$ for reheated food nothing was fresh I will never buy from here again this place just keeps reheating things and selling it at full price. I do not believe it is the same people that were cooking and working there as before.

We stopped by, hoping to partake in some of our favorites, and were blown away by the significant changes. The sit-down restaurant was now a liquor store. Though you can walk in and place an order, it must be done and paid for through the QR Code App. I was floored. Lastly, I asked about my favorite, Chicken and Pine Nuts or Salt Baked Shrimp and neither were available. The one other parton in there while I was, stated, "New management". Feeling sad, I left without ordering.

Over price and the portion of the food was a joke ! The teriyaki chicken don't even taste teriyaki ! It's mora like chicken with soy sauce

Just bad food. Kum Kau has always been my go-to for great Chinese food since I was a teenager and I’m a middle-aged adult now. One time I found a hair in my food and their response to that was so cavalier, so indifferent. Some months later I gave them a chance to redeem themselves, but each time they’ve fallen drastically short with me having to just trash my food but it’s truly that bad. And to demand cash only for subpar food is audacious. Somewhere and at some point they’ve lost their tasty touch. They’ve had a good run, but the food just sucks now.

Patrick Mosley

Do not get anything to eat from here I ordered general tso chicken and the meat was red inside and there excuse was that’s the flour they used next thing you know I ended up catching a stomach virus it’s time to let go kum kau yall it is not the same it was from a couple years ago they do not care about food quality for customers and it’s shows throughout the years

Errol Moliere

I ordered the roasted duck (which was quite pricey I might add) and it was bland and old. Like it was sitting for hours. It was so bad I had to call because I use to frequent this establishment. When I spoke to one of the cooks I was told that they no longer cook the roast duck on site they out soured it out to another kitchen and flash fry it. The duck was old dry and bland. The worst I’ve ever had it. I would show pictures but already threw it in the trash.

Are Xte

I ordered chicken with mixt vegetables and the chicken looks like bleached with CLOROX. The flavor was anything but chicken. I disposed to the garbage 🗑️ , something is wrong here.

Lisa

I ordered the sweet and sour chicken. I couldn’t even finish it. The rice was so small, not a pint like it said on the menu. The sauce was so red and jelly-like. For upwards of $10, it was so not worth it. I didn’t end up finishing it. The chicken smelled good but it wasn’t that good either.

Natalie

I don’t understand how this place has so many good reviews. Sesame chicken was soggy. Broccoli was over cooked but tough at the stem. The shrimp dumplings look gross...and one contained a hair. Really lovely! Lo Mein had no flavor. I ordered an egg roll and they gave me pork. I won’t be ordering Chinese food from here again. And neither should you. Go else where, trust me.
