Best

I can write a long review about how good the food and service is at Mr.K's but that sometime is not needed when i can sum it up in just a few words. MR.K'S is the best Chinese ...

Worst

During my trip to NYC, a friend wanted to show me to a nice place, so we went to check out Mr. K's -- with its high ratings and all. Well, based on my experience, I'm quite puzzl...

The Unexpected 4/16/2006

The decor was Art Deco and the service impecable. The hot and sour sup was scrumptious and the sesame prawns were perfect! And for a restaurant in Manhattan the prices were quite reasonable. If you want to be treated like a king or queen I reccomend this establishment. more

Worst Chinese food 7/18/2005

I went for lunch in this Chinese restaurant in hope of experiencing the finest Chinese in New York. What I actually got were entrees sweet enough to paralyze my tongue. The appetizer was sweet, lemon sorbet was sweet, the main dish was sweet, and the dessert was sweet (passion fruit sorbet). The only thing worth eating were the rice and vegetables which are insignificant in making any differences to the rating. Pros: nice atmosphere Cons: the food more

Elegant Chinese 7/17/2005

This is hands down my favorite Chinese restaurant in Manhattan. The food can best be described as fine Chinese (ex: the dumplings definitely are not the frozen ones that you get at so many of the restaurants in the Village, they have to be handmade by the chefs to taste as great as they do). The menu encompases dishes from all regions of China including some harder-to-find specialties such as Peking Duck (which is fantastic). The service is impeccable and is what really sets the restaurant apart. I highly doubt that you would be given a hot washcloth before beginning and sorbet between courses at any other restaurant in this one's price range. Dining at Mr. K's at least once is a must. Pros: Great Food, Superb Service, Nice Ambience more

This restaurant stinks 6/10/2005

This restaurant is bad for kids! I should know. I have 4 of them. My kids hated the food, even though it was ok for me. Plus, you should see the way the restaurant looks. No cool decorations. Also, the waiters were busy watching baseball when I tried to call them over. A serious no-no. And look at the price! Oh my god! Pros: good food for adults, easy to park, pretty big TV Cons: too expensive, bad decorations, bad for kids more

  • We offer exclusive seating to you and your party. Please inquire about our Private rooms on your next visit. You can also specify private room seating with your next reservation to confirm availability. Owner: Johnny Kao Executive Chef: Chen-Hua Yan Management Team: Edward Cheung, John Fong, Henry Lieu Date Opened: February 28, 1998 Concept Architect: Greg Olving In China, cooking is an ancient art rather than simply a nourishing necessity. Those dishes, which have stood the test of time, provide us with what is known as “the classic Chinese cuisine”. A well-planned meal will vary in texture and color as well as flavor and temperature to achieve overall harmony in the tradition of Ying and Yang. Each of the four main regions of the country has developed its own distinctive culinary style. Peking (North) provides a tender, delicate taste while Shanghai (East) uses light and savory flavors. In contrast are the crispy, unusual blends of Canton (South) and the fiery, spicy seasonings of Hunan and Szechwan (Central and West). To provide New York City, “Capital of the World”, with the best China has to offer, Mr. K's has meticulously searched for dishes representing the essence of each of these regions. The most gourmet recipes with the best ingredients and subtlest of seasonings have been prepared under the masterful direction of our head chef. Their beautiful presentation on imperial flatware, served in grand style, is an exotic prelude to your delight..
