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 ... read more

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. ... read more

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.

Mr. K's is OK with Me – I went to last year with friends for my husbands birthday and this year on Valentine's day-- and both experiences were wonderful. The service was excellent and the food, while not the best the best in the world, was very very good. There's an old world charm to Mr. K's that you don't experience much in restaurants anymore, and rarely experience in the many 100's of Chinese restaraunts around the city. The charming art deco decor is relaxing and comfortable, the servie is excellent and the Peking duck ... read more

if you like Chinese, TRY THIS PLACE – I love Chinese cuisine and have had it all over the country. This has to be among the best I have ever had. The prices are reasonable and the service is fine. The food was exactly as I ordered and came out in the time frame it should. The restaurant itself is nice with a cool decor. I reccomend it to anyone who enjoys Chinese and wants to dry a different place.

Left with a Bad Taste – During my trip to NYC, a friend wanted to show me to a nice place, so we went to check out Mr. K's -- with its high ratings and all. Well, based on my experience, I'm quite puzzled about the reasons behind the kudos. I left the restaurant confused about the the restaurant's gimmick, livid about the service, and appalled by the over-pricing of their menu. As for the food, I do applaud it as being tasty. Albeit overpriced at $14/plate (which the rude waiter did not inform us), the crispy beef, love dump... read more
