Kung Fu Kitchen, the popular New York-based Chinese food chain, will soon be making its debut in Central Florida, according to a recent filing with the State of Florida. The restaurant will be located at 8466 Palm Parkway in Orlando.
What Now Orlando recently spoke to Partner Chaun Zeng who says that the restaurant is currently under construction and won’t see an opening until 2023, likely sometime in the year’s first quarter.
When why has chosen to partner with Kung Fu Kitchen and open its first Florida restaurant, Zeng says “Because I live here in Florida. There is good opportunity here, people are always busy in the area, being so close to Disney. It’s an excellent location for both the local and tourist market.”
Founded by Chef Peter Song in Flushing, Queens, New York, Kung Fu Kitchen specializes in dishes such as “Lan Zhou pulled noodles, Shanghai Steamed Buns (Xiao Long Bao), Duck Buns, and Pan Fried Buns,” according to the restaurant’s website.
Until the Orlando location opens its doors, Florida-based foodies curious about Kung Fu Kitchen’s offerings will have to travel to New York City and visit one of its six existing locations.
