I don't know how it stays in business, unless it's just people who don't know good Chinese food. The quality they offer does not warrant the outrageous prices. I am Chinese and I promise you this restaurant is to rip off the the stupid Americans. If you want to spend the money, go to Shun Lee Palace, at least the food tastes good.

It is a great looking place and wonderful service. Food is good. It is very plush as it is comfortable and the price is up there.. A great place to bring a date, wine and dine clients when atmosphere is important,, Good food, Excellent service. Great atmosphere. Probably not a place for a regular family dinner.

I recently went here with my wife and although the food was excellent, we left still hungry with a huge price tag attached to it. The host was unpleasant when he heard we didn't have a reservation. Yet- the restaurant was empty. When we were seated, the decor was extravagant. Too much pink! The food was delicious, but $28 for an average Chinese Food dish with a small portion was insane. If you like Chinese Food and don't mind paying for it then it's worth checking out once, but you can find just as good food at your local restaurant for 1/4 of the price.

I want to love this place but the service is so unreliable. My colleagues and I have gone here a number of times and there is no consistency. If you go at lunch and there are big party tables near your table - forget it. You and your table becomes a second class citizen to the huge parties. You will sit there a wait to get your food, wait to get the table cleared, wait to get the check, etc. etc. It's beyond annoying. The food isnt THAT great. You can't beat the atmosphere though. Nice luxurious surroundings.

This was definitely one of the tastiest meals I've had in NYC. The ingredients in the dishes were so fresh and shined through in everything. For example, the asparagus in the chicken with asparagus was able to add flavor to every bite without being overpowering. The crispy beef was phenomenal, but not too greasy or typical of a take out Chinese place. The grand marnier shrimp were perfectly fried and the fresh shrimp still tasted through in the dish. I can't speak highly enough of the food. The decor, on the other hand, could use work. The pink was a bit much, but definitely gave a luxurious, but stuffy feel. The staff was great.

The food is everything else than authentic and mediocre. What's behind the creatively named dishes is simple and pale. The service is quite good and the atmosphere is particular (the style is a matter of taste though) but if you want decent Chinese food be it authentic and fusion this is definitely not the place to go.

Each time we visit NYC a visit to Mr K's is mandatory, to luxuriate in absolute comfort and refresh our weary 'see as much in the city as we can' bodies. That the food and service here is very good is an added bonus. We shall return.
