If the menu at Fung's looks familiar, it may be because it is the same as the one at Dot Wo, only at reduced prices. Fung's Kitchen, located in the "Asian District" where there is a concentration of Chinese, Vietnamese, and Thai restaurants, faces some stiff competition not only to keep prices down, but to provide authentic food that caters to the Asian population as well as others who recognize good Chinese food. Owned by the same family that operates the several Dot Wo locations, Fung's might be characterized as less "Americanized" than the Dot Wo mini-chain.

Unlike Dot Wo, Fung's has a Chinese menu with quite a few choices (at Dot Wo you either have to look at the specials or ask if they can cook a certain dish you want). Unfortunately, though, the hostesses do not always tell customers a second menu is available. It is always a good policy if you want the non-Americanized dishes to ask the restaurant if they have special dishes or a special menu. At Fung's, though, this seems to be a necessity.

The regular menu at Fung's Kitchen lists a number of dishes that I normally find on restaurants' "Chinese" menus, so I don't think you can go wrong even if you do not get to see all the menus. A dish I selected from the regular menu, Hong Kong Crispy Noodles wih Vegetables, had an excellent brown sauce over lightly toasted noodles that kept an appealing texture and flavor throughout the meal. The vegetables were very good, and overall I was quite pleased with the dish. In fact, this dish is an excellent introduction to some of the more traditional (non-Americanized) Chinese food.

The Chinese menu has a few spicy dishes, but most seem to be Cantonese style, one of the cuisines that offers the most diverse and flavorful (but non-spicy) choices. Fung's apparently has one of Oklahoma's most celebrated Chinese chefs, and I definitely think it is worthwhile experiencing his creations.
