Kungfu Kitchen

Kungfu Kitchen on Beacon Street gives dumplings and noodles plenty of room on the menu. Xiao long bao come with pork, chicken or crab-and-pork fillings, while other dumplings are steamed or pan-fried. You can add a scallion pancake or cucumber salad to make a small spread before moving on to a bowl of noodles.

The noodle choices include soup and stir-fried preparations, with hand-cut noodles listed separately from ramen-style noodles. Beef, chicken, roast duck and vegetable options give you several ways to build the meal. This is the Brookline restaurant at 1353 Beacon Street, and its direct Chowbus menu identifies the location clearly. Look there for current selections and pickup availability, especially if you are ordering from a phone and comparing restaurants with similar names.
