"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.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Mike Long & Franky Ho

From the OpenTable editors: Drop a pin in Chinatown for your mapo spaghetti needs – the playful Four Kings pop-up now has a permanent address. Watch chefs and MICHELIN-Starred Mister Jiu's alums Frank Ho and Mike Long prepare crowd favourites like fried squab and chilli crisp pig head in an open kitchen in the lively dining room, complete with retro '90s and Y2K Hong Kong memorabilia and a Cantopop soundtrack.

    It was a way too rushed experience. Despite asking for a more reasonable pace. I found it stressful and killed the overall experience.

    Food was not bad but not worth the value in my mind. Definitely not worth the wait if you can’t secure a seat in advance

    Waited a long time for our food, almost 50 minutes. Service was good overall except one waiter she was giving attitude like she doesn't want to be there. Mapo spaghetti was on the spicy side which I liked. Escargot and milk bread were underwhelming. Pork chop and rice was good but pork chop could be more moist. Mango pudding was surprisingly good.

    The food was good but not worth the hype. I found the dishes were too salty and the wine collection was terrible. Overall overpriced food.
