Kung Fu Fast Food, with Bruce Lee?

Yes, that’s Bruce Lee. Yes, the restaurant’s name is really KungFu.

This fascinating fast-food brand is located in China, with over 100 restaurants, serving a menu of healthy Chinese food like steamed meats and quick boiled vegetables. Bruce Lee, legendary martial arts expert and movie-star, is memorialized on almost everything in the restaurant, from store walls to the rice bowls and chopsticks.

One thing for sure, they’ve got the toughest mascot in the fast food world. Ronald McDonald, Jack, Burger King and the rest, wouldn’t stand a chance against Bruce Lee. He would kick their asses, eat their food, and stand there laughing at them.

It’s about time American fast food has a tougher mascot. All we have are clowns, plastic kings and big heads. Maybe we need “Chuck Norris” fast food. Then we can tell our children… “Chuck Norris will kick your ass if you don’t eat your vegetables”.

Yes, it’s brilliant. We need to do that. China has Bruce Lee and Kung Fu, and they’re making America look soft. We have to do something. Damn it people, listen to me!

Anyway… thanks to David Tan from Mad About Shanghai for the photos and intel.

  1. That’s wicked. I wish I had Bruce Lee on my plastic cup tonight. All I got is that ugly red headed girl from Wendy’s. She sucks.

  2. Funny but still cool.

    lmao at Chuck Norris. :P

  3. Wadda ya mean? We have Popeye!

  4. Surely you jest… Bruce Lee is way too fast for Popeye.

    Besides, when is the last time you even SAW Popeye? He is hiding.

    How dare you compare Popeye to Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris.

    Fuck Popeye… Chuck Norris will beat that cartoon sailor’s ass, and then ride him off into the sunset like his own personal My Little Pony.

  5. Bruce Lee was willing to fight anyone at any time.

    Kinda weird he is so popular in China given he was Japanese … though I think he played Chinese in all those Hong Kong films he did (I have a bunch of them on DVD).

  6. Whoa Timothy! Now you’ve done it! It is a little known fact that Chuck Norris is Blutto. Think about it. You’ve never seen Blutto and Chuck Norris together have you? Just think about all the times Popeye has wiped up the floor with Blutto and you’ll be crying all over for Popeye forgiveness!

    But I do think Bruce Lee could hold his own against Popeye…..for a while.

  7. @rob, what are you talking about? bruce lee was 3/4 chinese, 1/4 german.

  8. Dogpants, my bad, I must have read an incorrect biography at some point.

    The true version makes more sense.

  9. Nice branding, but totally chinese street food which is quite gross. Tried it very recently in Guangzhou and the chicken feet noodles tastes like mmmm feet.

  10. Balderdash, no one whoops the Kings ass. You see him in those commercials running over football players to score and in the latest commercial where he is stuffing money into pockets he takes a direct hit from a taxi, gets up and hands out even more cash. He would turn Lee into sushi.

    BONZAI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Long live the KING!

  11. Really bad ass !!
    It remind me of the scenes from Enter The Dragon - Chinese Resturant in Italy
