Mr K's Restaurant

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).

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.

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.

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 wonderful. The waitstaff aren't actors earning money to pay their rent, but seasoned professionals who guide you through your meal seamlessly and efficiently.
I've seen the sorbet mentioned in several reviews-- it's not a dessert but a palatte cleanser between courses--a bit of advice, don't review the sorbet in any restaurant. Where have these people been eating?
I would highly recommend this place, and it's escpecially good to share with a group of friends.

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.
