Kings Co Imperial LES is the new Manhattan outpost of the wildly popular Williamsburg-based Chinese restaurant. Just like the original, the Lower East Side location on Delancey Street is casual and low-key, with dark wood, dim lighting, and well curated design elements. Perfect for group dining, the addition of red leather booths makes ordering large format menu items like Pu Pu Platters and shareable entrees a pleasure and the cocktail program ups the ante started at the Brooklyn location with a wide range of tiki-inspired cocktails as well as a solid selection of beer, wine, and spirits.
From casual snacks with drinks at the beautiful bar to a multi-course Chinese feast, Kings Co Imperial continues to deliver on every level.
Modern Chinese haunt serving dishes made with local ingredients, including some from its own garden. Based on 266 reviews, the restaurant has received a rating of 4.5 stars. Price $$

i got salt and pepper tofu and szechuan cabbage take out, and sadly it is so baffling bad that i’m reviewing it. the tofu is 22 dollars yet tough and flavorless, and the cabbage, too, tastes of nothing

Absolutely love this place for the food and the drinks. The ambiance is awesome and let me tell you their dumplings are the absolute best in the LES!!! Shane the bartender was a fantastic host and a great bartender! Definitely please absolutely do yourself a favor and enjoy what this place has to offer. You won’t regret it!

I’ve been a huge fan of Kings for awhile as their food is amazing. However, their staff is so kind and goes above and beyond. There was a mixup with my pickup order (I accidentally ordered from the BK location instead of the LES one)- the staff was so amazing: the hostess helped me strategize so I could get an order in before close and the bartender gave me a free beer because I was having a rough day. Can’t thank them enough. Go to Kings- you won’t regret it.

In short, SALTY AF. As an elevated Chinese restaurant, I was expecting better quality than just dousing it in salt.

Great menu with a ton of options. The Sichuan dishes are really nicely spiced, with a satisfying numbing kick. The Dan Dan noodles were excellent. As was the General Tso’s with tofu. The vegetarian fried rice was good, but a bit less exciting. Overall, a really solid spot.

Excellent food and the service is very friendly. We had a selection of the dim sum which was generously filled, steaming hot and fresh. Crispy green beans are a revelation must get them. Prawn toast was fantastic as well. The atmosphere has a very nice with the decoration offering this original vibe. We felt very welcome from the start. Highly recommend
