No frills cantonese style diner that has the traditional BBQ roast meats, soup noodles, cheong funs, and their infamous clay pots. My boyfriend and I stopped by one weekend afternoon to grab a quick lunch and was surprised with the amount of people here. We were lucky enough to arrive right before the crowd and got seated pretty quickly (the people that arrived 5 minutes after us were not so lucky).
The menu is pretty and similar to other canton restaurants. We ordered the 2 roast meats appetizer (duck and roast pork), char siu cheong fun (flat rice noodles), and a preserved meat clay pot rice. Their clay pots takes at least 20 minutes to prepare so make sure you order other food or it'll be a long wait.
The apps arrived pretty quickly. The roast pork was a good balance between fat/lean and the skin was extra crispy! The duck on the other hand was a bit oily than I would prefer it to be. The cheong fun tasted so fresh! It tasted as if they made the cheong fun itself; thin and soft but still hard enough to not fall apart with all the stuffing inside. Then the clay pot rice came! They were extra generous with the amount of ingredients they put on top and the rice on the bottom had a great char making it extra crispy.
I absolute cannot wait to come back! For $15, my boyfriend and I were stuffed with good food. Seriously great prices for good food. The service is also not as bad as other canton restaurants in the neighborhood. Will be back!
I have to say, this specific location was so much better than the one on Fort Hamilton.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE how they actually care about skipping. Many places nowadays pretend they don't see line skipping but this place confronts these terrible people. Great!
I was actually skeptical in ordering the noodles because it wasn't that good at Fort Hamilton. This teaches me a lesson: do not make assumptions just because they're under the same name. A different location means a different experience.
I thought my noodles was made to perfection and the pork dish was extremely good. The pork was a little bit on the pricy side but when you taste it, you know it's worth it. It almost melts in your mouth and goes great with rice. It's also extremely fattening, so, beware.
The only thing is that they forget to give you a menu…often. You may need to ask for it.
King's Kitchen is your typical Cantonese style restaurant, except it actually feels pretty clean and modern. The chairs are comfortable and the floor and tables are spotless. Based on their menu, they're pretty big on the rice casseroles and rice rolls. So my husband and I ended up ordering the shrimp rice roll and preserved pork and veggies rice rolls as appetizers. Unfortunately, I was not a fan of the preserved pork rice rolls. It had a weird taste to it but my husband enjoyed it. He said it's a very northern Chinese style, which I guess suits his taste buds.
But let's talk about their roast duck. It is the best roast duck I've had in ages. I used to go to Big Wong in Manhattan's Chinatown for roast duck but this place surpasses Big Wong by far. For $5.00, you get a huge portion of roast duck, which is like half of the bird. Obviously, the best part of the roast duck is the skin. It's crisp and enough fat underneath not to make your mouth drenched in oil. As bad as they may be for your cholesterol, you can tell these ducks were very well fed. Yum!
I've ordered takeout from here many times. So far what stands out to me are the congee and the roasted meats. The chicken congee has a lot of chicken and is quite flavorful. The yang chow fried rice didn't have much roast pork or shrimp. The portions for things like roast pork over rice are great but it's a little drenched in sauce, though still good and cheap. I would definitely recommend coming here
If you are looking to eat here with a party of more than two, you're going to have a long wait. I came here with 5 people and it was extremely hard to get a table since this was a puny spot and is usually packed with people. Other parties got priority over us since they had fewer people and it was easier to sit them.
The food itself was really good. I'd recommend any of their congee, fried rice, or chow mien dishes. Most of the main dishes is enough to share between at least two people, so don't go crazy ordering multiple items.
Hopefully I'll come here with a smaller party so I don't run into seating problems again.
Being that I've been feeling a bit sick from the weather, I decided to have some congee. When it comes to congee in brooklyn, the first place I'd think of would be King's Kitchen. I love their congee, their rice noodle rolls, and their clay pot rice. The only bad thing is say about this place is the wait and the waiters. After eating here a few times and at their other locations, I feel that their waiters tend to take the wrong order or tend forget my order. Even if they do take the right order, it tends to take long. Other than that, I love their pork liver congee, everything congee, their Shumai rice noodle roll, and the Chinese sausage clay pot rice.
This place has the BEST BEST BEST cha siew {honey roasted pork} in Brooklyn {if not in NYC}. Seriously. They sell out fairly quickly, and their rice boxes/noodles are great when mixed with these BBQ cold cuts/meats. Enjoy!
Yea that they stay open late-I'm talking about almost midnight.
I wished that they can expand on the menu.
Great selection for a quick bite to get.
Usually is packed on weekends.
