Kung Fu Burger: Authentic Chinese Burgers in the Heart of Chinatown
Tucked away on Shaftesbury Avenue, Kung Fu Burger brings a unique culinary concept to London's Chinatown - authentic Chinese-style burgers that offer a delicious alternative to traditional Western fast food. This compact kiosk-style eatery has quickly gained popularity for its distinctive offerings and excellent value.
Signature Dishes Worth Trying
The menu centers around flaky sourdough Chinese-style buns filled with a variety of mouthwatering options. The Signature Braised Pork Burger features tender, moist pork with subtle aromatic spices that perfectly complement the crispy yet chewy bun. For something more distinctive, the Shredded Duck Burger with Hoisin Sauce offers meltingly tender duck with crispy skin and a tangy-sweet hoisin sauce that balances the richness beautifully.
Beyond burgers, don't miss the Cold Noodles with Sesame Sauce - wide, chewy belt-style noodles cut into manageable sections, topped with spring onions, tofu, and cucumber in a creamy sesame sauce. It's an ideal grab-and-go lunch option for those working nearby.
Atmosphere and Experience
As a takeaway-only kiosk, Kung Fu Burger is perfect for those looking to grab a quick, satisfying meal while exploring Chinatown and the surrounding West End. It's cash-only and doesn't offer seating, so be prepared to stroll and savor. The compact space might be easy to miss, but the unique flavors and excellent value make it worth seeking out.
Whether you're a curious food explorer or simply looking for a delicious meal under £10 in central London, Kung Fu Burger offers a taste of authentic Chinese street food that stands out from the crowd.
