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!

The veggie dumplings were very flavorful and freshly steamed. The included sauces complimented them very well. The red bean dessert was also nice: flaky and sweet without being overly sweet.
Service was quick and courteous. The order process is done on a screen which was straightforward, though I was still greeted at the door and provided with water and a table.
Prices are very reasonable, especially for the quality. The portions weren’t large but I was still full by the end of desert so perfect for lunch.

We had high hopes for Master Kong, but the experience was underwhelming. The food was just okay, not particularly flavorful or memorable. The beef in the noodles and the rice were both leaned too sweet for our taste, lacking the depth we expected. The green onion pancakes were unfortunately overdone and quite hard, making them difficult to enjoy. Service was fine, but overall, the meal didn’t live up to the reputation or our expectations

The dumplings here are consistently excellent and perfect for sharing with friends or family. Ordering is simple and efficient, you place your order at the display screen at the counter, then head straight to your table. The whole process feels smooth, organized, and well thought out.
Food arrives quickly and never disappoints. I’ve eaten here several times and have yet to have a bad experience; everything has been fresh, flavorful, and satisfying each visit.
The restaurant also has an additional seating area, making it a good option for larger groups or busier times without feeling cramped.
Location-wise, it’s in a great spot right off Hawthorne with plenty of foot traffic. On a few visits, I’ve spent a couple of hours catching up with a friend and watching a steady stream of customers coming and going, proof that this place stays popular, especially during peak hours.
If you’re a fan of dumplings and haven’t tried this spot yet, it’s absolutely worth a visit.

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.

Y’all the food is soo good here, seriously please try this place. We got a variety of things- all the dumplings are excellent, the sauces are on point, sautéed greens fantastic, beef dish had a delicious amount of star anise going on. The atmosphere gives a bit hole-in-the-wall but honestly that made the whole vibe better. Service so kindly. 12/10 will be back, thank you to the staff.

The chicken dumplings were exactly what I wanted on a breezy, sunny fall day. Loved all the sauces it came with. The service was so kind and helpful too. Will be back!

This place rescued our Christmas Eve! After another restaurant cancelled our pre-order at the last minute we made a new order with Master Kong. The food was delivered hot and on time, and was delicious. Thank you!

I have been a long time fan of Master Kong’s, but hadn’t tried the newer location yet.
Was not disappointed! I really liked the atmosphere in the Hawthorne location, the spotlight with the logo was really cute.
The food was just as delicious as you can expect from Master Kong. The scallion pancake, Chinese style potstickers, handmade pork dumplings and braised pork belly on rice are my all time favorites, but everything they do is delicious!

Big portions. Cheap. Good quality for the value. I like it. The noodles are freshly made. The broth is really hot which I really enjoy.
