This place is a certified sleeper! Very unassuming Chinese food spot. I loved the low mood lighting, play list was exceptional, and the service was attentive. The food is why we are all here and this place did not miss! We sat at the bar because we didn't have a reservation and it was a Sunday night. We were told the specials for the night with great detail, we snagged one of the last soup dumplings and they are incredible. The only other place I've had soup dumplings as good is in flushing - that's high praise from this queens girl. Next up we ordered the scallion pancakes - which ruined all other scallion pancakes for me. They were ultra crispy and flaky. The dipping sauce was deeply flavorful and the portion was perfect. We also ordered the chicken wantons that came in a chili crisp oil and peanut sauce, delicious. The pork noodles were the secret star because the description was pretty straight forward. But my partner is a chef and insisted we get them. They were some of the best noodles I've ever had. Definitely made in house and they were coated in a flavorful sauce. The crispy garlic chicken was so good that I had to take it to go because we were stuffed, still amazing the next day. The bartender with the cool tattoos that gave me extra coconut candies, you are truly amazing and really made us feel well taken care of. Can't wait to come back and try mo read more

This is our go to spot for soup dumplings. It hits EVERY-TIME!!! They're pipping hot and savory. And don't sleep on the complementary spicy cabbage, it's spicy, savory, and slightly sweet. I'm salivating as I write this review. Kings Co Imperial is a cute date spot, love the vibes and the service is alway great. I also love the coconut candies that they give you with your check. We'll be back soon! read more

The pork soup dumplings were twice the size of a standard ones. The soup was delicious and there was a ton of meat inside. I see why they dedicated a whole page on their menu for these! The dan dan mian were pretty tasty as well. The small bits of pork, green onions, and crunchy stuff were really good. The beef chow fun was not my favorite. It was a little bland even though the color is so dark. We also got the snow pea tips and it's healthier than what I'm used to at Chinese restaurants. It wasn't over oiled and the garlic flavor wasn't super strong, but I didn't mind. This place is great for sharing and everything was reasonably priced! read more

Good Szechuan. Chrispy dumplings! Nicely prepared eggplant dish. The Dan Dan noodles is a must have and really liked the scallion pancakes. The place is nothing to look at but cozy. read more

Really fun place for a social meal with friends or a partner. The restaurant is really big with rooms on rooms. The food brings some eat which is always a plus. I don't think it's the best Chinese I've had in the city but the dishes are well flavored and easy to share! read more

Ordered take out from here. The pork ribs were not quite what I was looking for; texture wasn't exactly what I wanted and the flavor could have gone a little bit further. Oyster mushrooms were pleasant. Overall, convenient if you're around the area and want Chinese/Szechuan food, but I may not have gotten the biggest hits. read more

Kings Co Imperial - Dim Sum Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I'm always skeptical seeking out Sichuan food outside of one of NYC's three Chinatowns. Kings Co Imperial brings together the best of Sichuan cuisine with the atmosphere and beverage appeal expected from a Williamsburg restaurant. It's a long sprawling restaurant. Upon entry, it seems like a small spot with an oversized bar; however, upon making headway inside, you'll find hallway seating for couples, a side dining room, and a spacious backyard. Given the gorgeous weather, we opted for a table out back. I immediately placed an order for the Imperial Martini. Definitely on par with other gin martinis that I've had. They have an appealing selection of wines by the glass and a very impressive offering of cocktails. Certainly deserving of the cocktail bar subcategorization. We started with their signature soup dumplings. These revival any of the city's best soup dumplings such as Nan Xiang Xiao Long Bao or Liu Liu Sheng Jian. Doughy dumpling. Subtle and chewy nipple. Ultra savory broth and filling. Plus a couple tasty sauces to pair with. A must order. Next we had the fried oyster mushroom. Truthfully, I didn't taste much of the mushroom. I got a lot of fried and seasoned batter with scallions and Sichuan peppers. Super savory and a bit spicy. An absolutely perfect bar food if you love all things fried. Following course were the pork ribs. Very reminiscent of the Chinese-American ribs you'll find at your local takeout spot with the defining difference being these are full ribs. They easily come off the bone yet are not mushy nor slip off indicating that they were properly smoked. This is a five star review, so I'll be a little critical: I believe these are reheated, so they were a bit overdone in my opinion. I believe they're lathered in the Kings Imperial sauce which is in the sweet side. Our final course was the dan dan mian noodles. An ultra savory and flavorful dish. Lots of savoriness coming from the peanut and pork. It quickly countered by the spiciness of the Sichuan peppers and chili oil. A sort of the mala effect coming though I don't think any cayenne peppers were hurt in the making of this dish. Lots of crunchy bits (I believe peanuts) countered by chewy noodles. A super homey and cozy dish. Service was helpful and informative. Pacing of the food was perfect. I found one restroom which was single occupancy and handicap accessible. All in all, one of the best dining experiences that we've had in NYC. read more

Kings Co is the place to go with a big group of friends who love to share. The indoor/outdoor seating is expansive and though it's so big, the service never disappoints. My group of seven shared about 15 plates and we left with no leftovers and feeling very satisfied so I'd recommend about 2 plates per person. We were seated in the back in one of the smaller rooms with 6 other tables but we felt like we were in a private room because of how the booths were set up. It's a great place for a chatty dinner between close friends and family and a nice place to hit up if all your regular places are full. Though I do not have a large knowledge base for authentic Chinese food, it was definitely more flavorful and unique than your typical American Chinese takeout. Favorite dish: Cold Sesame Noodles read more

Amazing Chinese food, service, prices and atmosphere! Went with a big group of friends and had a lovely time, food was spectacular!!! High level cuisine in a family style to share and enjoy with everyone in your table. The back patio is beautiful, the round tables perfect to have a group dinner facing each other, my only suggestion beer could be colder. Will definitely coming back and will bring friends or family when visiting. I wish they would open earlier on the weekends as it would be a great place to have a family lunch but unfortunately they are only open for diner. read more

I got there around 7pm and it was packed! Inside looks great The room was bathed in a dusky light, perfect for whispered conversations. And there is a deep inside of the back! We got 3 dishes, eggplant sauté was my favorite. However, I felt like it a bit salty. It wasn't as remarkable as we'd hoped. However, cocktails are cute, people are nice!! I'd like to see them refine things moving forward :) read more

Great dinner here! I've been a few times and each time it's really consistently great, the dumplings have a lot of meat in them and are super flavorful, the shrimp toast is buttery and delicious, the sesame noodles are really refreshing, but the star for me every time is the mushroom mock eel dish. It is just cooked perfectly, chewy, a little salty and just amazing. The service is also always really friendly and fast. Def will be back! read more

I traveled to Brooklyn and this place is walking distance to the Penny. It looks like nothing from the outside but it is pretty nice jnside. The waitress was great - very friendly and made great recommendations once she knew this was my first time here. The food came out fast and hot. Soup dumplings were awesome. The salt and pepper tofu was good and the portion was large. I'd come back! read more

Very good Chinese food! Ordered the General Tso's and the Hong Kong style Noodles. I loved the pork that sat atop the Hong Kong style Noodles. I thought that dish was well done. The General Tso's was good - not greasy at all but had a nice texture and good sauce. I understand the price given the dining experience and the authentic flavors, but still $26 for General Tso's feels just a biiiiit pricey. read more

Very spacious restaurant with an outdoor back area that was well heated and lit up too. Very glad we came as we were able to have a nice drink with the pitcher option which the mule was very smooth and we weren't able to really taste the vodka but still got our buzz on. The food was delicious, I do think the oyster mushrooms was my least favorite but Hong Kong style noodle was so tasty, I wish there was more bbq with it though. Would come back for ambiance and other food to try! read more

This is a good restaurant but nothing was amazing that stood out to me. Got the xiao long bao, shrimp toast, and dan dan noodles. I felt the noodles used in Dan Dan were kinda spaghetti like and not what I'm used to in Dan Dan noodles. The shrimp toast was good not too fishy, the dumpling chili oil made it taste better than the actual sauces provided. The xiao long bao soup was a little thicker than I like but still pretty good. There was one waiter serving all the tables in the patio area so it was pretty slow. There's ample seattle on a Friday evening Overall would go again but nothing to rave about read more

We didn't have a reservation and they were able to accommodate us immediately. Drinks were great (I just had a couple vodka/sodas), the sampler was insane, so yummy we ended up ordering an extra order of shrimp toast to go. I was super full after the appetizers so I just nibbled on the mains and we also took those to go. Everything reheated nicely later. The staff were kind and the place was very clean. Tables are very close together but what else would you expect from a small, cozy NY establishment. Love! read more

Solid experience with excellent food, superb service, and great ambience. Not a single issue for our group and our server was exceptionally helpful and guided us towards some great selections and just the right amount of dishes. The staff as a whole were very professional and we had a very good visit from beginning to end. The food here is really great and considering location, is actually a good value for what you pay. The food is flavorful and most of the dishes pack a great punch in terms of taste from the very first bite. The General Tso's chicken was my favorite dish full of delight and unlike any other version of the dish I've tried anywhere: great texture, full of greens, not too greasy, and complemented perfectly with a side of white rice. The shrimp toast is dangerously good and I'd definitely make sure to order this dish as a starter on every visit. The soup dumplings were a solid order, as were the cold sesame noodles, which were a big hit with the table. The one dish that I don't think I'd order again was the crispy garlic chicken, which I was most excited to try but found a bit dry and lacking in flavor compared to the rest of our dishes. Overall, a really great dining experience, especially for a family style dining group outing. I loved the charm of the space, which was subtle and intimate. The staff were very accommodating and made the experience all that more pleasant. One of the few dining experiences in Williamsburg that would draw me back in regularly and is worth the price. read more

Went for thanksgiving meal while visiting Brooklyn with family. All food was really good. Loved the soup dumplings. Even Gotham extra order after we'd finished! Got the drinks in a large pitcher. Went through 2 for 7 people. Wasn't cheap but probably more economical than individual drinks. Restaurant is much bigger than it looks. read more

This is the spot! Kind staff. Wonderful ambience. And the food? My word, it's the best Chinese food in Brooklyn. The Soup Dumplings are worth the trip alone. But go for the dumplings and stay for everything else. It always hits! Everything is family style, which allows you to really get a taste of a few dishes. I always keep a favorite and try a couple of new ones each trip! read more

Strolled in early on a weeknight with a friend and we were seated right away. We were both surprised by how spacious it was and we were seated in the back. We ordered the bok choy pearls, the scallion pancake, and the spring moon shrimp to share. The scallion pancake was nicely crispy but we were blown away by the sauce. Need to constantly make this dipping sauce for everything. The cinnamon was a great touch. Unfortunately I didn't really like the bok choy pearls. There was 4 of them and I only ate one. The last dish was nice but I kept having to add hot sauce to it to have any sort of kick. It also would have been nice if it had come with rice so we ended up ordering some, too. Overall, really great service and it's an affordable Chinese fusion restaurant in the area. read more

Stopped by on a Saturday evening to see if they could accommodate a walk in and to my surprise they were able to immediately sit my boyfriend and I in their outside garden area. It was super cute and intimate. I had been wanting to eat here for the longest and was so excited. Happy to say, it did not disappoint! We share dim sum, pork soup dumplings which were delicious!! The pork and broth were flavorful. I honestly could have ate all 6 dumplings as my meal. We also shared fried rice and the crispy garlic duck, which was also perfect. The garlic sauce was super tasty and a bit on the sweet side. It's definitely a close tie between this spot and birds of a feather for me! read more

Lucked out and only waited 10 mins for a table without reservations. This joint is deceptively small, but extends towards the back where there are more tables in a narrow back room and then a good sized covered outdoor space. Ordered so so much: - long pork dumplings (pan fried) - XLBs (soup dumplings) - dry pot tater tots (they were out of our first choice, the eggplant) - copper well street noodles - typhoon shelter squid So delicious and the food came out really fast! Attentive service but the guy kept opening the bamboo steamer to see if we were done and let the steam out! UGH. No one likes cold XLBs! They have this plant based dumpling collab with Planta, too. Will definitely return to either BK or LES location. read more

Let me say I can't wait to go back to New York to go to Kings Co again. Love the vibe... cozy friendly. Food was outstanding...be sure to have the dumplings for starters. Another must have is the shiitake mushrooms with eel sauce. Amazing. The service was quite helpful in our selection of food and very caring that we got something we would enjoy. The servers were friendly and attentive. This is one restaurant you don't want to miss in Brooklyn. read more

USED TO LOVE YOU NOW IM NOT SURE We used to be regulars here and live right down the street but lately it's been kind of hard. Firstly, I wish there was more of a friendly neighborhood feel (especially given how much we go in) but it always feels like a kinda icey reception when we stop by. The food is good but there's always a "soup dumpling special" we're told about at the start of the meal that, frankly, should just be on the menu subject to availability considering they always have them. The straw that broke the camel's back happened the other day when the main course came out before the egg roll dim sum -- like I'm talking 15/20min before and somehow everything (including those egg rolls) ended up on the check. We were hoping they'd be comped but it wasn't to be. "I wish this establishement would welcome its neighbors the way the neighborhood welcomes it." -- Anonymous read more

I went during Chef Andre Fowles Jamaican pop up menu and omg everything we got was so good. He was there as well and he greeted every table and was very friendly. We started off with the ribs. They were really flavorful and the meat melted off the bone. We also ordered the lobster curry fried rice which was amazing. It came with a butter sauce on the side which was creamy and delicious. We also had the jerk chicken which was really really good and the coconut rum cake. All dishes were really really good. The drinks were good as well. We ordered the Rick steady. I hope they incorporate some of these items into the menu indefinitely. Everything was delicious! read more

This place is gooooood and my photo does not do it justice. It has a divey feel and quirky layout, and I loved every second of it. The food was fabulous (though salty!) - we got shrimp toasts, pork soup dumplings, the pork ribs, cold sesame noodles, scallion pancakes, beans, and general Tso's. The soup dumplings and the ribs were the highlights, but everything was hot (or correctly cold in the case of the noodles) and delicious. Service was friendly and very attentive. Would go back here in a heartbeat. read more

Kings Co Imperial - Sesame Shrimp Toast & Scallion Pancakes - Dim Sum Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

It's refreshing to find authentic Chinese food outside of predominantly Chinese neighborhoods, even if it means I'll fork over a pretty penny for it. The first time I dined here I sat down with some amount of skepticism but I couldn't deny the flavors and have returned many times since. I've since learned that the owners and chefs come from a long tradition of cooking Chinese food and it definitely shows in the food. As is typical of Chinese food, dishes are meant to be shared family style, so I highly recommend scooping up some foodie friends to split a bunch of dishes with you. Bonus points if you're able to sit at one of the booth tables with a Lazy Susan for the full communal dining experience. You can start with their dim sum-- I love the shrimp toast and who doesn't love a little scallion pancake action. I'll usually pick out something from the vegetable section of the menu like the weeping tiger salad, one of the noodle dishes, and then something off the wok stir fried section. The mock eel is so popular they often sell out for good reason, crunchy, sweet bites of mushroom make for an addictive item to snack on between bites of the bigger entrees. What also differentiates Kings Co Imperial from restaurants in Chinatown is that they have a full bar with expertly made cocktails. Historically I haven't found myself pairing cocktails with Chinese food, but it wasn't from lack of wanting to, only lack of opportunity, and King Co Imperial makes that dream a reality. read more

Alright yall! So I'm ALWAYS taking pics of every meal I eat, I love to document my food journey when I go out but let me tell you! I was so hungry by the time I arrived I forgot to take pics! The food was sooooooooo good I honestly forgot all about my phone and was just focused on the explosion of flavors I was experiencing! This was hands down one of the best restaurants I've been to in a while. The place is small but has little alleyways where more seating becomes available. The drinks are pretty good! I'd highly recommend the Shanghai Mule or a pot of Jasmine Tea! I'm not a repeat offender when it comes to restaurants but I will definitely be back! read more

Ordered delivery from here and the worse pea shoot ever! Overly salty - like ocean salty - I had to throw them away and this is coming from someone who hates wasting food. Like wtf with the pea shoots. Also the prep wasn't great, because they left ends that were inedible and this is not how pea shoot should taste. Salty AF, not tender at all - disgusting. read more

Much better experience dining in than ordering delivery! This was our first time visiting the restaurant, and don't be fooled by their small dining room at the front. They have multiple other dining rooms and were seated right away with our group of 6 all the way in the back at a large table. It's not authentic Chinese food, but it's definitely GOOD. You'll find some classics, along with more fusion/modern style dishes but flavor was on point for almost everything we tried. - white broiler chicken dumplings and wok seared long dumplings: SO juicy on the inside, and a nice crisp on the outside. I really liked both of them! - copper well street noodles: my least favorite, only because it's strong on the peppercorn and that's not really my jam. definitely has a kick to it - double garlic chinese eggplant: not the classic sweet/savory eggplant. I like when it's a little bit flash fried and the skin is blistered. but besides texture, yummy savory dish - short rib chow fun: my favorite dish! the bowl may look small, but it's a good dish to share with others. the short rib adds a very nice elevated touch to a classic chinese noodle dish. - salt and pepper pork chops: I think I'd rather eat this at a more traditional chinese restaurant. It wasn't bad, but it's just a bit more fatty, crispy, and salty elsewhere. I would definitely come back again if we're in the area. There aren't many Chinese restaurants in the area, but this is a great option read more
