Master Kong（SE Hawthorne Blvd)

You may, as I did, walk into Master Kong and assume that the portions are small, given the vast menu and reasonable prices. Do not do this. The portions are large and hearty, with shareable sizes (2 roujiamo per order, for example, or up to a dozen dumplings) and the food is delicious. You will not regret ordering too much food, as I did, but you will feel it. Master Kong is delicious. I have longed for Chinese food of this quality for a long time, and I'm ecstatic that it can be found here - for a good price, in a perfect location. Do yourself a favor and go!

Really enjoyed everything I tried. The meat folder (roujiamo) was crispy and flavorful, the jianbing had delicious texture, and the pork dumplings were tasty as well. Nice flavors to the hong kong style milk tea and the grapefruit lemonade. Good food for good prices. Will be back to try more.

the sesame noodles were good but a little salty. very generous servings. kiosk service, so not full service. staff was nice. need to try the dumplings!

I stopped here before a show tonight, WOW. This is my new favorite spot and I will be returning next week! My boyfriend and I loved the kiosk since we like debating a little bit before we order. We ordered the xiaolong chicken soup dumplings, the jianbing and beef brisket noodle soup. And of course a hong kong style tea to wash it all down. I am impressed! The service was amazing, all of the women working the floor were so nice and accommodating. It’s clean, quiet and cozy. The food though, next level. The beef brisket here is the best I’ve ever had, I was so moved by it I had to say something to the waitress on the way out!! I saved half of the jianbing and I’m eating it now as I write this. Please stop by and give this a try. It was wonderful and the highlight of my night, me and my boyfriend cannot shut up about it!!

Cute little restaurant right off the street. We had 7 people and were able to sit right away (luckily we got there early enough before a rush hit). You use a kiosk to actually order your food instead of a traditional wait staff. This made it fun for the kids. Since we had so many people, we just opted to have everyone buy a variety of dim sum type apps so we could try everything. The steamed vegetables (while we all debated on what they actually were - broccolini? Cabbage ? ) were really good! The kids loved the egg rolls and were their favorite part. A little on the oily side, but very flavorful. We tried two different dumplings and by far everyone enjoyed the Chinese style better. I wasn’t impressed with the bao buns but we will definitely be back to try what we missed.
