On July 7, 1999, Robert A. Jung reviewed Kung Food for IGN in his final verdict he wrote "Take away the story, and Kung Food comes across as a very average fighting game that breaks no new ground. The game's controls and minor quirks may irritate some players, but fight fans with Lynxes should look past the silliness and give the title a try." Rating the game 6 out of 10.[7] In 2011, Winston Wolf reviewed the game for HonestGamers, giving it a rating of 3 out of 10.[11]
