King Fung



I have always been a fan of this restaurant since I stumbled in there a few years ago and tried one of their noodle dishes. Now that they have the Mongolian Fire Pot, I have started to dream about this place. Their Mongolian Fire Pot puts all the shabu shabu places to shame. PK and I met her parents at King Fung a few days ago. We ordered the Mongolian Fire Pot for 2 ($13.00 per person), scallion pancakes ($?.??), Peking Ravioli ($?.??), Salty and Spicy Shrimp in the shell ($8.95), and extra shrimp and scallops for the fire pot ($4.50 each). As always, we had half the fire pot with a mild broth and the other half with a spicy broth. The fire pot came with layers of plates loaded with raw beef, pork, chicken, lamb, and squid to cook in the broth. Our favorites were the squid and the shrimp that we ordered extra. This was just amazing. There is no other word for their fire pot. The scallion pancakes were very good. Their Peking Ravioli was some of the best that I have had in Boston. And, the Salty and Spicy Shrimp were very tasty. This dish is better at a couple other places in Boston, but PK can never resist ordering them here.
Verdict: This is one of my favorite restaurants in Boston. Even though their fire pot is amazing, we need to remember to try some other dishes on the menu. My only complaint about King Fung is that they only have one fire pot so if another table has it, you will have to order something else or wait and since the fire pot usually takes us almost 2 hours, waiting is not a good idea unless the people are almost done with it.
I love their peking duck – I will have to try the fire pot next time I go.
i would like to thank you so much for this site. it is informative and entertaining. hi p.k.
Regarding the firepot: do they only give you meat to put into the broth? What kind of broths were in the pot?
phred: The firepot comes with squid, lamb, beef, pork, chicken, tripe, tofu, and cabbage. However, for $4.50 extra, you can order scallops and shrimp. I am not sure about all of their soup options since I always ask for their regular broth and their spicy broth.
A fire pot… I’ve never heard of that! We love to buy baby bokchoy (and other fun veggies) in Chinatown. I’ll be sure to check out these restaurants the next time we go.
I’m just finding your site for the first time and I’m getting lots of good tips. Thanks for doing a great job and covering lots of areas around NE…
