The first thing you'll notice about Fung's is that its a little rundown. Some of the characters are a bit shady, but it isn't in the nicest part of town. The real saving grace of this little asian-immigrant establishment is the food and its price. The service is average, sometimes curt and a little rough around the edges but otherwise fine. Above average Chinese food for amazingly dirt cheap prices. The meals easily can last for 2-3 meals and at less than $5-7, the value makes it worth the trip if you're nearby. However, its not mind blowing enough to be worth any trip over 15 minutes, but they do deliver. The hours are reasonable and they are open late. So if you're in the neighborhood and really craving that shrimp lobster fried rice, consider dropping by.

The food here is good but at times it is not very good. Also the lady who works here could use a lesson in customer service.

I was walking home from 47th street when I saw this Fung's Chop Suey. It's not a very nice place. I've passed by here a gazillion times but I never though to even glance at this until my stomach started calling. Inside is pretty empty - only a couple of tables, no deco at all, just an enlarged version of their full menu pasted on the wall...all the better to see! The lady behind the counter can't really understand English very well so do speak slowly. I ordered a Fung's Special to-go. My husband and I loved it to bits (yes! we shared!)! It was $8.95 in total but you get a serving worth of rice and 2 - 3 servings worth of the beef, chicken, shrimp, broccoli, chinese vege, and water chestnut in garlic brown sauce. The beef and chicken were tender, the shrimp fresh and crunchy, the sauce was tasty and flavorful. Of course it's not the Michelin kind of standard, but it's like what my grandma would cook and tastes just about as nice. Warms my heart to the core with such homecooked food! I wouldn't make a special trip here just to eat the food, but if you're in the neighborhood, no harm giving it a try!

I'm New to the area and I am anal about Chinese food since I have been eating it all my life. With that being said, I am definitely a fan of Fung's. Went there at random to see the quality of the food and it was GREAT. They give you more than enough food for a low price. A lunch special could be a meal for 2-3 people with all the food they give.

The food is good but the delivery service is horrible. In October, the night delivery driver would not come to the door. I had to go outside of my apt complex gate to get the food. Today, ( about noon) the driver did the same thing, however, I did not go outside. I waited until he came to the door. I'm on the first fl, but there are steps to my apt. The driver screamed twice, delivery! I instructed him to come to my door or leave. The driver peaked up the stairs as if he was frightened. At this point, I will not order a delivery order again. Why should I pay delivery charges for poor service?

I live fairly close to Fung's and while I've had my difficulties with the delivery the food is what I expected it to be. They now serve smoothies which is GREAT! and they take credit card which is fairly new. Fung's is doing pretty well and it is very noticeable because of the updated paper menu and I believe the amount of grease they use has been greatly reduced. I recommend this place for anyone looking for some take out chinese and is ok paying a fairly inexpensive price.

4 stars because of the rif raff outside the restaurant. Other than that the food is very good. Remember to call ahead usually a 10 min wait.

A good place for a ton of decent chinese food at cheap prices. Not the highest quality thing, but what do you expect for Chinese take out? The food settled the craving and hits the spot. The service is good and location is great for Hyde Parkers. Yes, the location could use a pick me up on the inside deco, but I feel badly for small businesses these days. It seems hard to weather the recession storm plus loads of Chicago taxes. As long as they keep delivering on service and standard Chinese, I will keep returning the few times a year when I want Chinese takeout.

This is about as close to New York style Chinese food that you can find anywhere near Hyde Park and probably even the rest of Chicago. It totally blows all the other Chinese places around here away. Very fresh, well seasoned, flavorful food and at very cheap prices. I've tried their apps which are solid and a couple of their combo meals but the Mongolian chicken stands out with chunks of chicken and a spicy sauce. Delivery is cash only but it is free (tip nicely) and there's no minimum either which I guess is a huge oddity in Chicago. Everyone I've dealt with, the order taker on the phone and the delivery guy, have all been very nice and friendly.

Surprisingly good for the hole-in-wall kind of place it is... We ordered delivery... Food came fast, was hot and in enormous quantity for the price... Truly good hot and sour soup, very good egg rolls (a bit greasy), very large "large" entrees with lots of big shrimp. First time ordered... Will definitely order again.

The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.
Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.
There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.
