NEW KONG CHOW FUSION
One of those hidden gems often overlooked, Kong Chow Fusion is by far some of the most delicious Chinese/Vietnamese food we’ve ever tasted. The restaurant itself was one of Vermont’s first Asian eateries opened long ago and new owners have created some of the best food you’ll find. Excellent for large groups and amazingly affordable with huge portions. $.
