“For 85$, you can feed 3 or 4 people at a place like Wu Liang Ye (not considered a cheap Chinese, not nearly nice the decor, but much, much better food), or enjoy a nice dinner at Babbo, Aquavit, Blue Ribbon Sushi, Gotham.”
“Let me start backward: the dessert was just a scoop of sorbet decorated with some fresh berries, the only decent thing in the main course is the half tail of lobster, the rest is just plain veggie and meat stuff, the lemon sorbet is just a trick, the seaf”
“On top of that, they have this great rice bowl holder that flips open.”
“This is hands down my favorite Chinese restaurant in Manhattan.”

Best Chinese Food NYC. 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 Restaurant in all of New York.…
Atmosphere! Service! FOOD WAS THE BEST! Superb!.
After reading some of the negative reviews, I really wanted to see for myself. I was visiting NYC for the 1st time and got tired of same old stuff! Especially the "I'm better than you" attitudes or
the "Do you really belong here?" from the waiters in Manhattan. Being from the Cowboy State, (Wyoming in case you don't know) We can eat Steak and Italian anytime. Anyways, although we were somewhat intimidated at 1st, The waiter seemed to be walking on eggshells so the last thing we wanted to do was to offend the waiter! I Felt it was best to just ASK about the fancy table settings and the such that were being presented. The waiter was thrilled that he was being treated like a person and not a servant. He loosened up right away and was flattered that we didn't want to offend his culture and was more than happy to explain to us what the heck it was all about. The rest of our dining was a true delight. I had the Prawns/Scallops in Garlic sauce and my Wife had the Seafood Fried Rice. Wonton Soup was excellent ! As was the entire meal. Service was Great ! I truly think that by treating the waiter with respect and dignity made the evening even better and we were not the only ones that were pleased with the entire "event ". Highly recommended !!!!!!
PS - Regardless of how you treat the waiter, It's definitely a 1st class operation there. Very pleasent time and educational for us I'm not not ashamed to admit. We will certainly go back when we return to NYC in the Spring!!!!!!!!!!!!!!…
5 starts on some things, 1 star on others. Today was my third visit. Highly recommended for its beautiful art deco decor; lovely place settings, serving dishes, and cutlery; nice ambience; and excellent service. And these positive things are consistent -- they've been positive every time I have been. And, sometimes, the food is excellent and highly recommended, too. But that's the thing -- having spent $80 for lunch for two people, you don't want the food to be SOMETIMES outstanding -- you want it ALWAYS to be outstanding. Today, one of the dishes was WELL and truly below average -- the fried rice we got was SO SALTY we had to send the whole thing back (it was like eating a salt lick, as if they had poured salt on it before sending it out). Not even the slightest whiff of a problem sending it back (goes back to the excellent service), and when it came back, it tasted MUCH better, but they had removed ALL the chicken and shrimp from it, which is presumably what drove the cost of $15 fried rice. Definitely worth a visit for the positives -- send the food back for another try if it doesn't meet your standards (and it may, but it may well not).…
Best Chinese!!. Great Chinese dishes. The sauces were delicious and the service was great, French serving style. The dumplings were delicious and expertly done. Ginger Basil chicken was great. The table setting was beautifully done with authentic Chinese style pieces. Nice high ceiling, beautifully decorated with Chinese vases and corals.…
Wasn't impressed.. The food here is not good. Atmosphere and decor is pretentious and tacky. Had the sizzling pepper steak, west lake lobster, beef dumplings, and a noodle dish. Was not impressed by any one of them. I have had so much better. Everything tasted and looked like take-out food. And their desserts? Forget about it. I regret ordering them. Although the food is bad, I am going to be fair. The service is good. I really liked the workers. They are friendly and attentive. Bad food, good service.…
