This is our first stop every time we come to NYC. The ambiance is not great but they give you huge portions of delicious food for a price that I can't believe they can make a profit. For $10-11 you can get a bowl with enough food to feed two people. And the food doesn't taste cheap. It's very tasty, as good as any Chinese bbq out there. For me the most unexpected was the crunchy rice roll. It's very flavorful and the crunch in the middle makes me want to eat more and more of it. Don't miss this next time you're in Chinatown.
I came here with some friends for dinner. One person in the group explained that they have several locations but this location has more train stations for people. As for food, we all got different things. I shared the clay pot with eel and the rice noodle shrimp wraps. Both were delicious. While I was there, I tried someone's duck. It was really good. A few days later, I went back a few days later and ordered the 2 combo platter with roasted pork and duck. The food was very flavorful and plentiful--I had enough for two meals.
King's Kitchen is doing great work in their kitchen. I came here on a Friday night to order to go and devoured half the order as soon as I got home. I had been at a party where the tequila cocktails were freely poured and the hors d'oeuvre did not keep up. So I had a very good appetite when I placed my order to go at King's Kitchen: braised duck over rice with the bok choy and char siu over rice and bok choy. The BBQ spareribs were already out, which must attest to the popularity of the BBQ spareribs. My wait was about ten minutes and people were constantly flowing in. I had time for a cup of tea to settle my stomach and watch this late night eatery in action on a Friday night. Good service here. The braised duck stood no chance when I devoured it at home. The rice and bok choy were perfectly prepared, but that braised duck steals the show at only eleven bucks. The savory juices from the duck are absorbed by the rice and the duck meat is so tender and flavorful without being salty. No soy sauce or condiment is necessary. There are minimal bones with this beautifully sliced duck. This is not as artful as Peking Duck one might order elsewhere, but this level of quality at this price point is hard to match. I ate a third of the char siu for breakfast the next day. Very good as well, with beautifully sliced pork without gratuitous fat. The char siu has more sweetness to go with the savory. It's also more meat and quite filling and satisfying; though, the braised duck was more memorable. The BBQ spareribs must be even better if their lack of availability this Friday night says anything. The value proposition is definitely here at the very clean King's Kitchen. There are several places offering an extraordinary value proposition, most notably Wah Fung No 1, but this takes the quality up a few notches without a substantial price hike. This is the level of satisfaction to bring you here repeatedly with the comfort of seated dining and an overall great experience where you can bring friends or a date. 3.8 great returnworthy stars!
The brightly lit interior called out to us so my friend and I stopped by for a kind of late dinner. This place was open when many others were closing up. My friend didn't like the shrimp rice rolls so much, but enjoyed the noodles. I scarfed down the fish n pickled veggie clay pot. All the flavors just complimented each other and the rice was crispy at the bottom which made the dish so hearty. The clay pot took the longest time to be prepared but was well worth the wait and we got many free tea refills along the way. I was also a fan of the more casual atmosphere and large seating area.
Took a really long time for them to take our order but once we did, service improved. The food was quite good! Lovely rice and vegetables. The clams were delicious.
Why yes - I do enjoy King's Kitchen - I am but a mere subject to this establishment. Came around 10 ish (pm est) with a good friend of mine and we were seated immediately. For whatever reason, we could not stop ordering and got the eggplant/salted fish/chicken clay pot (no rice), cucumber salad, and the roasted pork over rice. Rae - stop getting the roasted pork here - I don't think you like it. It's not as crispy as you think it will be. Stick to what they are known for - their clay pot rice (and not just clay pot) I liked how saucy and steaming hot the eggplant clay pot was - would be great with rice. We of course, also had to get their steamed bun (egg custard) appetizer and their you tiao (Chinese donut) - the worst thing about going to a restaurant is leaving hungry so - order what you want. Will I be back? With food this good, affordable, and open til 2 am - yeah - I will be.
I was very excited to go to China town, as I love Asian food. I especially love duck with pancakes, as it is one of my all-time favourite dish. TBH I was rather disappointed with my experience here. The duck for the pancake dish was cold. I also found the meat to be extremely greasy.
Got the duck rice rolls n the clay pot with Chinese sausage n preserved duck. All were yummy n freshly made to order. Will be back n they take cc!!
We continued our quest to check off this block of renovated Mott Street in Chinatown which was by now, thanks to social media, crowded with lines overtaking the side walk. At 1:30 pm on a Saturday, we caught the tail end of lunch time crunch, waited for a good 30 minutes before finally getting seated. I saw somewhere that the King's franchise has more than 250 locations worldwide. I didn't verify that but that's pretty impressive. The establishment's logo and advertising all featured claypots so claypot dishes must be their specialty. We ordered two items that were featured on their sidewalk menu: Preserved Meat Rice Claypot $12 and Kaya Pandan Toast $5. We added another preserved meat claypot with taros. The dishes came very quickly within 10 minutes. They looked stunning and inviting. There was a layer of crispy rice which you're supposed to scrape off as "treats", similar to bibimbap on a stone bowl. All good except I didn't like the texture of the rice. I couldn't recall if it was long grain or broken rice but I prefer stickier rice. Each bite felt too dry and airy instead of being more gripping and satisfying. The toast was nice and light. I never had pandan before. Aside from the green color, the taste was similar to the cream inside a Mexican bun. The place felt cramped overall. There were a few tables that were totally undesirable, with waiting patrons standing against your elbow. I only mentioned it because it didn't jive with the nice decor; it's more commonplace in an ad hoc setup. Speaking of which, if you have a party of 1 or 2, don't be surprised to put up with communal seating! Service was okay.
Definitely falls in the "3.5" category of Chinese food aka perfection in Chinatown. Amazing food, crazy good value and service is what you'd expected in Hong Kong. Super good clay pot & Cheung fun galore, honestly can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Just be aware there's only one toilet and this place gets busy
I am going to this location 3 stars because the all the dishes we tried just seemed off compared to the east broadway location. 1.) the clay pot rice with preserved meat only had the preserved pork belly. I assumed preserved meat meant a combo with the sausage and pork belly but there was no sausage. I may have ordered incorrectly in Chinese. Other than it being very confusing what comes with preserved meat, the rice was barely crispy. It was obviously just "fried" with oil and had no browning on it. 2.) the 3 meat combo we got had bbq pork, roast pork, and duck. The rice was cold and hard. The bbq pork was dry and flavorless. The roast pork had decent crispy skin but the meat had zero flavor. The duck was fatty but in an expected way. It is also a little off putting that they serve this in a bowl. It's not soup or noodles. 3.) the truffle soup dumpling had no distinguishable flavor to them. They ran out of regular soup dumplings. 4.) the string beans were the best dish overall which is kind of sad given the other options in the menu
They have the clay pots! This is their second store right on Mott street and it has been a long time I had the salted fish and minced pork clay pot. My mother use to make this and it just reminds me of my childhood. I sent a photo to my brother and his response was "bring me one". The crispy crunchy rice on the bottom of the clay pot is the second highlight. The chef appears to be certified and his certificate is on display inside the restaurant. I forgot to take a photo of it. The interior is really nice and clean and the bathroom is a good size too- not in the "basement". IYKYK. The Chinese New Year parade was happening while we had lunch so it was like having a dinner and a show. Can't wait to comeback and eat here again.
Open until 2 AM. Yes ! This is my kinda place. Sitting at home, I had a sudden craving for wonton noodle soup. This is why I love love love living in NYC. Fifteen minutes later, I'm at King's Kitchen on Mott Street ordering off the menu. To my surprise, they have shrimp rice rolls - my favorite! The waiter was soooo nice and sweet - big smile ! One of the rewards of leaving a nice tip = seeing how happy it can make another person :) The shrimp rice rolls were good (pretty standard if I'm being honest). The soup portion was very generous - enough to share. The dumplings were a little salty but filling. Bottom line : If you're looking for a late night meal, King's Kitchen offers a convenient affordable option.
Kings Kitchen is hands down my top 3 favorite spots in Chinatown. From the locations on Broadway, to Flushing, and now Mott - Kings Kitchen will always deliver on flavor, quality, and portion size. Any time I need a comfort meal, or come home from a trip, Kings is my go-to. You really can't go wrong with anything here, but the roast meats are the star of the show. Roast duck, soy sauce chicken, crispy roast pork (siew yook), and bbq roast pork (charsiu) are all great choices - over rice or over noodle. Clay pot rice is also a tried and true classic here. Seriously everything is good!!!! read more
Absolutely delicious! I got takeout from King's Kitchen on Mott street. Got the beef noodles, soy chicken and some leftovers of water spinach and claypot of eggplant seafood. Which sadly I was not able to enjoy the claypot when it was hot, however I heard it was absolutely delicious! The beef noodles were a heavy flavor but delicious. Not for my baby, however it was perfect for me! And the soy chicken was definitely different than other regular soy chickens from other typical spots from C-town. Highly recommend! read more
Will return. A very pleasant Cantonese restaurant with many regulars. We had the squab 乳鸽, which was the reason we went, and beef with wide rice noodles 干炒牛河. The young pigeon was so-so, and the noodles were fine. We went during the peak of lunch hour, and the decibel was deafening. Five servers worked in the small restaurant. They seem to know most of the customers. read more

It was alright. Their dishes are a hit or miss. I liked their Congee best! King's Kitchen has Brooklyn locations and the congee is consistently good. The Wontons and Noodle Soups are also good and standard, nothing special. I was disappointed about their chopped meats. I had higher expectations, but unfortunately I feel like they weren't as flavorful as other places. I also didn't like the Soup Dumplings, which had thicker skin than I'd like. Their drinks come in a plastic cup, which are nice to take with you on the go. Servers mainly speak Chinese here. Overall, you can find better food in Chinatown. If I had to pick, I'd rec the Congee and Wonton Noodle Soups!! read more
Quick, delicious and reasonably priced food and an option I'll come back to again when looking for roasted meats on rice or in noodle soup. Service here is quick and efficient but be prepared to have to share tables since they mostly have larger long tables which is typical for this style of restaurant. The menu is quite extensive so I know I'll always have something new to try. I got the roast duck lai fun noodles which were delicious. The duck however was fattier than I expected but I still got a good amount of meat and it was flavorful. Definitely want to try more of their menu and I'll be back next time I'm in the area. read more
I appreciate that they open late hours--rare trait for Chinatown! However I would go back out more for that reason instead of the food. Wasn't terrible but considering the neighborhood, I do think there are better options. Fairly large serving sizes. Was surprised they didn't have chili oil. Wish the Curry Noodles were less dry but I also wasn't too surprised. read more

Food: So damn tasty! We got the 3 meat combo over rice, the preserved meat clay pot, wonton noodle soup, and pandan Kaya toast. From the top tier Chinese BBQ meats to the clean but flavorful wonton broth to the perfectly sweet kaya, the entire meal exceeded my expectations. I am dreaming about eating this meal again. And everything was so damn cheap! I love Chinatown! If there is one thing you should get, you can't miss the various meats. Service: We went at an extremely busy service time and it took a while to get our menus, but in traditional Chinese fashion, you just have to ask and be a bit more forceful with what you want. Every one was still very nice and accommodating. Although it was packed, I surprisingly did not have to wait long for a table, approximately 5-10 min. Many places in NYC Chinatown are cash only, but no need to worry about this here. They will take all forms of payment Ambiance: It blends a good style of modern with tradition. In many places in the area, there may be concern of cleanliness, but definitely not here. You can tell they run a tight ship. If you're around the area, just go! read more
We came here for late night eats and loved that this place was still open. We ordered a clay pot dish, noodles, and spicy wontons and this pandan toast. I did wish the wontons were a little spicy and saucier. Everything else was great. I would return to try more items off the menu. Food came out fast! read more
The latest kings kitchen location on the Mott street strip. Same quality of food and service as the east broadway location. Beef chow - the noodles are bouncy and chewy. I would order this again. Congee - classic comfort food Claypot rice dishes - many options to choose from. I usually go with the preserved meat. Perfect to pour soy sauce into. The heat from the pot gives the bottom rice a nice crunch Chinese bbq, their cha siu is full of flavor Their siu yuk is tendered with the perfect crispy skin read more
Passed by this busy spot and was curious, so we had a late dinner here. Even at 9 pm, lots of customers, but there was a table ready for us. Service was efficient and the restaurant was clean with good lighting. ***OUR PICKS*** SEASONAL VEGETABLES (CAULIFLOWER) STIR FRIED IN GARLIC ~ perfectly cooked and seasoned. Not bland nor too salty. Loved this dish! 5/5 SPECIAL 3 MEAT COMBO CLAYPOT RICE ~ CHICKEN, PORK KNUCKLES, AND SPARERIBS WITH BLACK BEAN SAUCE ~ You get to choose which meat you'd like. The rice was crispy, meat was flavorful and just the right amount for the two of us. We didn't want leftovers since we're staying at a hotel. 5/5 I've seen King's Kitchen in Brooklyn's Chinatown, but didn't have a chance to check it out. Glad they have this location. Had a yummy, enjoyable dinner! read more
We tried it as a new place in chinatown and it was rewarding! Place is really busy- Food is good and prices are reasonable. Just the sitting area was a bit conjested-felt like ppl were sitting too on top of each other. Must try. read more

My family and I went to King's Kitchen for a Cantonese-styled Sunday breakfast. Big fans of the location on East Broadway, we were delighted that the quality and service of the Mott Street location was on par. While definitely more expensive than other versions of the same food in Chinatown, King's Kitchen's congee and rice rolls in a clean and well-lit restaurant were still part of a lovely experience. The fish congee was quite large and had a generous amount of fish, although the fish itself could have been cooked longer for a softer texture. My kids loved the fried cruller rice roll (nearly anything fried tends to be a hit with them), while we adults liked the egg and lettuce rice roll (if a tad bit predictably bland). That said, the service was excellent and attentive, with our waitress gamely accommodating our rowdy kids. We would definitely return to try more dishes. read more
My first visit was in Bensonhurst, which is a wee bit far from me so I was excited to see that they opened up in Chinatown, Manhattan. For two ppl, we order way too much but taking it home afterwards is the way to go. It was a rainy day so it called for some century egg congee to warm our bellies. We topped it off with rice noodles in peanut and hoisin sauce, another comfort food. Decided to try the soup dumplings while I'm at it, though it's not as strong as other nearby locations. Lastly, we got the roast pork with rice, and we were stuffed! The roast pork was a bit on the lean side - I would request for the fattier pork next time. The place is on the smaller side with maybe a bit too much seating since we were very cozy to our dining neighbors. The staff are super busy and brings out things pretty quickly. read more

Been wanting to try King's since it opened but there's always a line so decided to check it out for an early dinner. Decided to call in advance for pickup but nobody answered the phone. It wasn't overly busy when I arrived. The woman at the cashier took my order and was friendly. There was a bit of a wait for the take out but nothing too crazy. There is a handful of tables and it is not that big but could fit a decent amount of customers. I opted to take out the food. The roast pork is on the sweeter side but flavorful. Like how they give veggies with the rice and noodles. King's is a welcome edition to the neighborhood and on a block of fierce competition with other noodle restaurants. read more
Love a spot where I can get comfort food like congee and rice rolls. I came on a Saturday morning and was able to get seats right away for a table of 2. It wasn't very busy and the service was nice! I ordered the seafood congee with fried dough sticks, rice rolls with fried dough and fish paste, and the lava custard buns. I think where the experience fell short was the taste and quality of the food. Overall, I was a bit disappointed in the congee as I felt the seafood didn't taste very fresh. Aside from that, the fried dough I received was very cold and you could tell it wasn't fresh as well even though it was morning time. It had a strange aftertaste as well. The best thing was the lava custard buns which were quite tasty and soft. This is my second time visiting. The first time I got the clay pot rice with preserved meat and it was fine! It came with a lot of preserved meat but didn't taste like anything too special. I didn't try their barbecue meats which I heard is their specialty. Overall, I'd say this spot is fine if you're looking for a quick bite. read more
This is the 2nd location in chinatown. The resturant is known for their clay pot rice and their 3 meats dish. The resturant has a better anterior for bigger groups. The service here is very fast. The food was really good. They give a good portion and affordable price in this economy. I would recommend and come back again. read more
Pros: - service was quick - food quality is still good Cons: - personally, I thought the rice noodle roll portions were pretty small, but they were still delicious Comments: - went on a Thursday around 11:20AM, wasn't too busy, about half packed - it wasn't too loud, but you do hear the other customers talking - this is the newer location on Mott St., I was a frequent customer of the one on East Broadway read more
Given the amount of time each time and the expertise required to prepare a pot of clay pot rice that's crispy and slightly golden at the bottom without being burned, it's now rare to see it on menus of Cantonese restaurants in New York. Fortunately for us, we still have King's Kitchen and their newest location definitely delivered. We opted for two clay pot rice orders - taro with preserved meat and frog (in case you haven't tried it, it does have the texture of chicken). Both pots were excellent; the crispy rice from the bottom blended perfectly in both texture and aroma with the toppings and the rest of the rice in the pot. Be sure to ask for the special soy sauce just for the clay pot rice, which is not too salty and further elevates the dish with the taste of umami. Other dishes we ordered were also great. For the three choice BBQ combo over rice, we opted for roasted duck, char siu, and roast pork. All three meat choices were fresh and flavorful. The congee with homemade meatball is not what you typically see on a menu; the meatball definitely had that homemade texture and contrasted nicely against the silky congee. Make sure to add an order of fried dough for those photo ops. Another unusual menu item we tried was the fish fried dough rice rolls, playing again with the different layers of texture - fish paste was stuffed inside the fried dough which was wrapped in the steamed rice rolls. Finally, we also went "fancy" with the truffle crispy grass carp fried rice and were again pleased with this innovative and delicious dish that was topped with slivers of black truffle. Despite being very busy during lunch time, the staff were rather patient and responsive. The main drawback here? The seating arrangements felt quite cramped and we had to be mindful not to stick out an elbow or a foot. However, given the high quality of Cantonese dishes and the reasonable prices, we might find ourselves here again soon when we become nostalgic for classic Cantonese dishes, as well as more innovative combinations. read more
Wanted to come to this new location and try it out and it definitely looked new and shiny. Came here with a friend for lunch and around 1pm on a weekday there was a little 10-15 min wait. It was very loud inside as well so kind of had to scream to talk to each other. We ordered a variety of items and shared: -black truffle soup dumplings (soup dumplings are special to this location so we had to try some) -spare ribs with black bean sauce claypot -Beef fried dough rice rolls I've been to other locations and in the past the claypot rice used to be much bigger. Also, I think the claypot was not hot enough because it didn't crisp up the rice properly. The soup dumplings were good, and skin was super thin that while I was super careful, managed to break two of the 3 I ate. The beef fried dough rice rolls also appeared to be less filling as well but the crunch was perfect. read more
Another location for King's Kitchen! Came here for a family dinner, and it took a while to wait for a table for 8. In the end, we needed to get two separate but close-by tables. The menu seems shorter than the East Broadway location, but the clay pots remain the main star here. I didn't get a photo of everything we ordered, but overall, the food was pretty good. The Chinese sausage clay pot rice was definitely the best. The siu mai rice rolls were interesting and unique. The cha siu rice was dry, even though I asked for fatty pieces. The hot oil wontons weren't what I expected, and I wouldn't order them again. This spot stays open until 2 a.m., but I'll stick to the East Broadway location otherwise. read more

Great clay pot. $12 for chicken. It's what they're known for and delicious! Also got a steamed rice roll and iced HK milk tea. Well worth adding an appetizer and drink. Spacious and clean here since it's new. The rice roll is too thick. Pass. The clay pot bowl is really good with sausage and spare rib. HK iced coffee was delicious. read more
We were in Chinatown and stopped by this place off the recommendation of a family member. I didn't realize this is a chain as I believe there are also other locations. Walking, amazingly bright, clean and spacious...which is always good to see from a diner's perspective. They are known for their claypots especially, but for yesterday, I had ordered Singapore style curry mei fun for $18. It is only a tad spicy level wise which I am able to tolerate and it was a great dish. I did wish the noodles weren't cooked that well and wish it was a bit on the less fried side. But still regardless, very flavorful and I would recommend. My wife got the eggplant seafood claypot for $21. I guess the portion she ordered was larger and didn't come with the bed of rice down at the bottom of the claypot bowl. For that portion at $21, you cannot complain. The eggplant and protein swam in the sauce well and tasted very fresh. The only complain about this dish is a bowl of rice did not come with this entree so we ordered a bowl for $2.25. It really should have been part of the meal. But that issue aside, still very good food and the service was excellent and polite. I would recommend. read more
After 45 years going to the same spot in Chinatown, we decided to avoid the line and try something new. King's Kitchen on Mott Street hits that sweet spot between authentic Cantonese comfort food and a sleek, modern vibe. We kicked things off with fried wontons--super crisp outside, tender inside--then dove into a beef chow fun that was fresh, saucy, and full of flavor. Their clay pot rice is the real showstopper though, with that golden, crispy bottom and toppings like sausage or spare ribs that pack a punch. Michelin Star winner, Chef Wing Wu's pedigree shows throughout the menu, from soulful congee to playful black truffle soup dumplings. Portions are generous, prices fair, and while the service is still sub par, they've only been open since August 2025, so there's room to grow. read more
This is a brand new King's Kitchen location in Chinatown on Mott St and they're already booming with customers who love their classic Cantonese comfort food! This is what I ordered: Homemade Soup Dumplings (6pcs) Spicy Chili Oil Wontons (4pcs) 3 Choices BBQ Meat Rice Rolls w. Char Siu & Vermicelli Beef Fried Dough Rice Rolls Dumpling Noodle Soup (Egg Noodles) Congee w. Squid, Pork, Fish Egg with Minced Meat Claypot Rice Iced Jasmine Lemon Tea HK Iced Milk Tea I didn't want the meats over rice, but it's okay. I think the staff are still learning so they made some tiny errors. They gave me the wrong drink, but I still liked the drink they brought me so I didn't complain to them! The congee here is perfect and you gotta dip the fried dough in it. I really enjoyed their noodle soup and rice noodle rolls too. The options are always so interesting here. The clay pot rice steals the show for me everytime with its crispy edges and flavorful toppings. Because it's new, the inside is polished and gorgeous and there's lots of tables for small and large groups. read more
The new King's Kitchen location just opened as the last new entrant on the revitalized Restaurant Row on the east side of Mott between Canal and Bayard. It might be the final boss of this group, with the broadest menu that covers what many of its neighbors offer. The noodle soup on offer here is just as good as any of its several neighbors on this block (Noodle Village, Maxi's, and 1978) and King's Kitchen's claypot rice is often regarded as the best in NYC (though Noodle Village's is always excellent as well). King's rounds out its menu with a wide selection of stir-fried dishes, breakfast items like congee, youtiao, and kaya toast, and a Cantonese BBQ meat counter just to make Big Wong, Ming Wong, and Hay Hay across the street empathize with the noodle shops in feeling the heat of competition as well. This location is in a relatively small space and figures to be perpetually packed, given the quality of the food, the popularity of the existing King's Kitchen locations and this new one's convenient proximity to Canal St. Lastly - their current hours as of their grand opening are until 2am! Hoping that this persists as Chinatown has precious few late-night options these days. read more

Roast duck, roast pork and bbq pork is absolutely the BEST here. They meat to fat ratio on the roast pork and bbq pork is perfect. It is a newer restaurant so it is super clean. It gets super packed and you may have to share a table if you only have 2 people to a table of 4. The clay pot is very popular, but we were not hungry enough to be able to order that as well. I will have to try that next. read more

Do they serve the claypot rice in the claypot if it is a to go order?
Yes they do. You get charged a deposit for it. If you clean it and return it, then you'll get the money back. Otherwise you can keep the clay pot.
