Master Kong（SE Hawthorne Blvd)

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.

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.

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

As a whole, Master Kong is a 4.5 for me. Food: 4-5/5 Service: 5/5 Value: 5/5 Ambiance: Casual, mixed self serve. It missed the 5 stars because there wasn’t that wow factor, however if you’re looking for consistent quality and taste for Taiwanese style food, this is it. We ordered the pork congee (5/5), jian bing (4/5) and popcorn chicken (4.75/5). The popcorn chicken has that authentic salt and pepper taste. Jian bing has good ingredients but lacks flavor. Good thing they have prepackaged sauces. We added beef for $3.50 and it was very minimal in beef, so that was disappointing. It would be good with sliced beef inside. The congee hit the spot with authenticity. Service was very attentive even though ordering is self service. Would come here again when craving Taiwanese style flavors.

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.

First time visiting this location, I'd only ever been to the location on 82nd, superb new location. Cute atmosphere, the food was delicious as always and so quick. I love that I can have delicious vegetarian Chinese food. It's always a treat to eat here. Can't wait to come back.

Amazing place. The staff was super nice. Ordering from the Kiosk was simple too. The food was amazing. Not too salty or sweet, depending on what you order. It has the right amount of flavor in every bite. Tables are nice and clean.
