    Great food and service. Not as good ambiance as their old premises but okay. The Wagyu steak is expensive but delicious and perfectly prepared.

    This was my second time at Four Kings. The first time, I went with a friend who I knew wanted to go and he appreciated it, but was slightly picky. The second time, I took my partner and my parents. Both times we sat at the bar--however, with 4 people, we sat on the corner of the bar, and it felt almost like a table. Both times--food is very good. Service is very good. I got both reservations via OpenTable at midnight when reservations opened. We loved the squab, steak chow fun, and mapo spaghetti. Skewers were fine--small.

    Wonderful good and very creative menu. The smoked trout latkes were amazing with an incredibly generous portion of perfectly cooked trout. The vegetable tagine was full of Moroccan spices and the almonds were an especially nice addition. My husband & our friend had the pork chop and fried chicken and enjoyed their food as well. The chocolate malted ice cream was meltingly delicious.
