I finally bought a good wok and self-taught myself to cook good, authentic Chinese dishes, since I wasn’t finding that in most “Chinese” restaurants.
I’m going to try Kung Fu tonight, and will report back.

Here’s my update —
I’m writing this from Kung Fu - Nice, clean restaurant with pleasant servers. Here for dinner. I ordered a cup of Won Ton Soup and Kung Pao Chicken.
The soup had a good, rich Chicken broth base, filled with three plump, meat-filled won tons - I was thinking this would be outstanding soup to have if sick or feeling under the weather. Very good flavor.
The Kung Pao Chicken was (actually is, I’m still savoring it), very good - Large, generous pieces of moist, well-seasoned Chicken that is stir fried with fresh, crisp vegetables. Great spices, and a decent amount of heat (though I like quite a bit of heat). The Sauce was light, and did not over-power or hide the taste of the chicken and veggies. Came with a very tasty fried rice.
I had about given up on Chinese here in TV - the places in the southern area where I live are absolutely terrible - and I have thrown away food from them more than once.
Kung Fu is a pleasant surprise - I would rate a B+ / I’ll be back - just wish it was a little closer to where I live.
