"The food at Four Kings reads like a metaphor for growing up Chinese in America: you're never Chinese enough for people from China & Hong Kong, and you're not white enough to be American." -- from a recent diner.

    Delicious! Limited options for vegans (cabbage, pea shoots, green beans, jasmine rice, veggie fried rice if they have it that day) and vegetarians (squash croquettes). Many of the vegetable dishes are flavored with shrimp paste or meat sauce or bacon. The cauliflower was delicious but prepared with bacon. We loved the rich flavor of the green beans! Loved the sichauan cabbage. We ordered a vegetable fried rice with mushrooms and egg -- would definitely order that again. My fiance loved the squab. Great date night.

    We had a wonderful dining experience at Sushi Ran. The service the Sushi Ran team provides is excellent and with such care and sincere joy. The food was so delicious and beautifully presented. They made celebrating our daughter’s milestone birthday very special throughout and with a sweet treat to end the evening.

    Wonderful experience and highly recommend if you like a Polynesian ambience and live band. Better if you have a couple of Zombie drinks and groove to the 70s and 80s music. Come with some fun loving uninhibited party animals.and you’ll have a great time!
