Despicable Service!  1 Star Rating - Unsatisfactory

By Deborah J.

I called in an order for delivery at 10:45pm at 11:01pm I called back to have 2 diet cokes added to my order; they refused to add the diet cokes saying the kitchen is closed and hung up on me. When I called back they hung up on me again, and did not deliver my food.

Good Chinese  4 Star Rating - Very good

By Susan C. | insider_expert Insider Expert | Rank: 5,522

This is a very good chinese restaurant on the upper east side/midtown border. They have a wide selection of dishes which have all been very good when I've gone. It gets crowded around dinner time so you might have to wait

BEST DUMPLINGS ANYWHERE! 5 Star Rating - World class

By daaa

This place has the best dumplings anywhere hands down. I recently was there and they had the soup dumplings that are so prevalent down in Chinatown. But sorry, I gotta say that CF is the winner. Sorry Joe's Shanghai. CF's dumplings are not as greasy and offers an explosion of clean flavored soup in their soup dumplings. When you press your lips together after the finish, there's no sticky after feel....the best!

Pros: Great Food
Cons: None

poor service, bad food, expensive and with no hygiene standards. 1 Star Rating - Unsatisfactory

By mat624

I just came back from China Fun and I would not recommend it to anyone.
Firstly, as it is typical of take-away, the food is over seasoned and too salty, I suspect this is the result of using MSG: the Kung-Pao chicken was the worst I ever had in my life.
Secondly the hygiene: while we were waiting for our food one of the waiters took off his shoes and put them on the desk near the chopsticks, how disgusting. I would have assumed that the manager would have shouted at him right away, but no!.. at one point they were looking at and touching the shoe at the same time, probably because it had a broken sole.
Lastly, it is quite expensive for this kind of food and the horrible service.

Overall I wish I had gone to Panda Express, which is much better, cleaner, and it costs a third of the price. Alas there are no Panda Express left in NYC.

Jacked up prices! 2 Star Rating - Wouldn't recommend

By jackryan

This place jacked up their prices after they redid the rest. Some dishes as much as 4 bucks. The portions aren't the best and are heavily in salt. I order take out from time to time but they treat you like viet cong sometimes and are very abrasive.

Cons: You leave NOW

Horrible, Horrible Food 1 Star Rating - Unsatisfactory

By frische

Honestly, the worst food I've had in my life. They are right around the corner from me and I have tried them on a few occasions over the span of many years. On each of those occasions I am reminded of the poor quality food they serve. Recently I had a delivery for dinner and have now officially sworn off China Fun for good. I don't care how cheap or convenient they are...nothing edible should taste that bad.
