Kum Kau has been on Myrtle Avenue, at the same location, for nearly 40 years. Its authentic Chinese dishes prompt customers to visit from far and wide for a taste of Kum Kau to enjoy takeout service. (No dine-in or delivery.)

The subject of the 2002 children's book, Big Jimmy's Kum Kau Chinese Take Out by local Clinton Hill author, Ted Lewin.  Many of their featured dishes are from both the Hunan and Szechuan provinces of China.
