What is Worth Choosing

When you visit Kung Fu Little Steamed Buns Ramen, the name itself provides a clear starting point. The Real Kung Fu Steamed Buns, also known as soup dumplings, are a must-try. The Steamed Pork Bun is noted for being "very juicy" and a decent size. For something a little different, the Steamed Pork Bun With Crab Meat or Spicy Steamed Pork Buns are excellent choices.

Another major highlight is the Ramen menu, especially the hand-pulled noodles. A real customer raved about the Beef Noodle Soup, praising its flavorful broth and generous amount of beef and a marinated egg. The Roast Duck Ramen and Seafood Ramen are also fantastic choices for those looking for a different protein. The stir-fried noodle dishes are equally delicious, with the Shredded Beef & Chili Pepper being a standout for its spicy kick.

Beyond the main dishes, don't miss the smaller plates and sides. The Scallion Pancake is a classic favorite, and the Shanghai Spring Rolls are a great appetizer. For a taste of something truly authentic, try the Sautéed Chinese Eggplant with garlic sauce or the Sliced Beef & Tripe In Chili Oil from the cold dish menu. And for dessert, the Black Gold Egg Custard Buns or Sweet Babao Rice are a perfect way to end the meal. With its generous portions and authentic flavors, Kung Fu Little Steamed Buns Ramen is a top choice for anyone in New York looking for a truly satisfying and delicious Chinese meal.
