The rice rolls and claypot rice are a good reason to come to King's Kitchen. The wait is long for takeout Chinese restaurant standards; 20-35 min depending on how large your order is. I usually get chicken&mushroom and the "3 roast meats". The soy sauce is delicious and I wish they threw in a few more containers' worth. I would advise to skip the salted fish claypot..great for fried rice, but terrible in a claypot as it REEKS.
Two stars off for an incredibly incompetent cashier who always gets our orders wrong. The wait for food is so long that we don't bother waiting for our corrected order. They will also bicker with you incessantly about how they are not wrong. Yea, sure… because I read my order off the menu incorrectly every.damn.time? If it weren't for my parents being such huge fans of their food, I would not care to return.
This is a shady place for decent Chinese food and they are cash only, the two stars go strictly to their dine in experience, when ordering take out rice casserole in the hot stone pot they inflate the original price by $1 (example is if a beef and egg rice casserole cost 5.95 on the menu they charge you 6.95 +$2 for the bowl) not sure if this is even legal… I don't understand why they mark up the original price if you are getting the same amount of food… I understand the $2 for the stone pot which you get refunded for if you return the pot. You get a hit and miss with the service for take out one lady is so rude while another can be nice, they are also quite grimey with soy sauce so you have to be specific as to how many soy sauce you want. I've been to their eighth Ave location and I find the waiters so much nicer… I eat here cause it's close to work but if i had other options I would go else where
King's Kitchen may be Brooklyn's answer to Big Wong King in Manhattan! It's a great answer. This place has to be doing something right if there is a line of local Brooklyn people waiting to be seated on a Thursday night at 7:30 p.m.
Food: this place is intensely price competitive. Two people can each have an order of duck or chicken with noodle soup along with two orders of vermicelli rolls for under $20 before tip. The quality is phenomenal. I was a happy American fat kid with a tongue from Hong Kong.
Service: extremely responsive. The staff is quite friendly.
Decor: much cleaner than a typical Chinese fast-food restaurant. Fast food here is faster than the typical McDonald's. Not to mention healthier.
I shall return.
This is my favorite low budget Chinese restaurant. The ordering can't get any easier for non- Chinese speakers. Everything is in English and properly labeled with accurate prices which can be lacking in most joints.
My favorite thing to order is their fish slice congee and their dried shrimp rice rolls which are the best I have ever had in any restaurant. I wish I had one of these down in Virginia. Their roast meats are delicious and on point as is their beef chow fun.
You can also call in your large order and carry out which is so convenient since they only have street parking and you know how Ft. Hamilton is during rush hours.
If you're in the mood for some tasty rice rolls or congee and don't mind a long wait time, swing by this place for a quick bite to eat. Everything on the menu is fairly cheap in comparison to most Chinese restaurants and the portions are substantial.
Came by here for a quick early morning breakfast and ordered 2 types of rice rolls (beef and Chinese donuts) and a fish congee. In general, most of these items don't take too long to make. However, it did take quite some time for the food to arrive. Once the food came, it wasn't as hot as I would have expected for a dish that looked fresh and neat.
For the congee, the portion was big enough to share between two people. It was a clean and crisp congee taste (rarely do I encounter horrible congee) and it tasted decent. As for the rice rolls, these were pretty tasty! Except that they weren't as hot. The crispy roll with the Chinese donut in it was pretty good, since you can taste the crunchiness of it. As for the beef, I will say, the smooth and creamy like texture definitely stood out to me as being delicious.
Overall, decent food (the menu offers a ton of different options!), poor service, but great prices for the amount of food you get. Also, do keep in mind that parking around this area is super tight, no matter what time of day you swing by.
King's Kitchen is like most Chinese restaurants, a middle ground between decent food at affordable prices but lacking in some categories such as service and availability.
This place is a great location for Cantonese style food, ranging from rice dishes to noodles and soups. However, the way it's prepared may not be to the liking for many as they are usually drenched in a heavy amount of oils. Not every dish has been covered in a coating of oil, but enough of them has been that I've noticed it on more than one occasion. Most people come here for their three treasured rice boxes (sam bo fan). On a normal course of the day they have options for roast pork, chicken or duck to be combined on top of rice and a side of vegetables. A quick and filling meal. These items typically don't last to late evening because of the demand and they don't make anymore after a certain time in the day.
Their kitchen (the one in front by the windows) looks clean. The eating area is decently sized, with a big screen TV and bright lights. The largest con I have about this place comes from their lack of good service. When I was ordering the lady kept looking and texting on her phone, not that I am against people texting once in a while when they're at work, but her eyes were on her phone more often than anywhere else. The second con I have is that their food takes forever to come out, I was ordering takeout food from their kitchen because the front had already cleaned up and there were no more rice boxes for the day. From the time after I had ordered to the time I finally received my food, took an hour. One hour for takeout of the simplest dishes like Yeung chow fried rice, beef chow fun, and Singapore chow mei fun. How is it possible for 3 dishes such as these to take an hour to cook? It's just so weird standing there by the door, next to a table of people eating for that long!
Still, I have to give props for the food because it isn't bad, just not spectacular. They are open later into the evenings so it's an option for a late bite. I won't go out of my way to eat here, but I wouldn't be against it either if someone suggests it.
Jook (rice congee) and clay pot rice. The staples of Hong Kong cuisine. This place used to do a good job with both but the quality has consistently gone down hill. the boneless spare ribs over rice or char sieu fan is what to get. Rice noodle or churn fun is average. Not really worth ordering. Get the roast pig or chicken over rice. Cheap eats for Brooklyn's china town
My family and I enjoy coming here because we think they make the best claypot rice in Brooklyn.
My family and I ordered 2 Eel Claypot Rice, 2 Preserved Duck Rice, 1 BBQ Roast Pork over Rice, and 1 Fish Paste Ho Fun Noodle Soup.
The BBQ Roast Pork is flavorful, tender, and juicy. The sauce that is on the roast pork ends up going on some of the rice, which makes it taste even better.
One of my favorites here is the Fish Paste Ho Fun Noodle Soup. It is a hot bowl of noodle soup. They give a good portion of Fish Paste and plenty of noodles. Good soup to warm you up on a chilly day.
The claypot rice here are the general go to dish when you come here. It doesn't matter what you put on top of the rice. The meats will infuse the rice with flavor. You also want to add the soy sauce that typically goes on top of it. The soy sauce will enhance more flavor in the rice and make it even more savory. It is always a great pot of rice to have.
Plenty of other options here, but the recommendations are the claypot rice.
