In NY on a 5 night stay, we wanted a good Chinese dinner near our hotel. Wish we'd chosen elsewhere. Service completely indifferent and food average to poor - I had the much vaunted crispy beef and it was dreadful. Dinner for 2 was almost 200 dollars so the experience should have been better. More

We liked the decor - very comfortable and rather 70's ish . Food was ordinary and nothing special. I don't think I would go back there - better value at similar priced Chinese restaurants in Manahattan More

This is the place to go for a beautiful and relaxing lunch in midtown east. The thing about it for me is that you can bring whomever you want and you can trust that they will be floored by the service and the presentation as well as the meal. More

We went to Mr. K's for the Chinese New Year prix fix menu. It was expensive ($69/person) but it sounded terrific. It was good, but nothing to write home about. The service was very good. The whole place seems to be out of date. What we found very telling was that it was a Saturday night, and the restaurant was... More

We'd love the Washington DC Mr. K's (a reliable go-to for birthdays, as well as private dining for business groups) so we were delighted to find the NYC instantiation (there since 1998) on Lexington just a few blocks from our hotel. We went there for a nice, light lunch before returning home on Amtrak. The started with the crispy giant... More

The service is outstanding and the food delicious. This was my 2nd time there. It was my sons favorite restaurant when we went 3/12 yrs ago. Nothing has changed we took a 13 yr old this time for her birthday. It was also her favorite place that we ate. She actually ate every bite. This restaurant is not cheap but... More

This is a classy and for a Chinese restaurant not inexpensive. Average entree $25 - $30 with everything ala cart. Hot sour soup was OK but nothing better than what I've had from local takeout restaurants. The other appetizers and entrees were great. The service and food presentation were superb. We chose to eat here twice during our stay, eating... More
