"The food at Four Kings reads like a metaphor for growing up Chinese in America: you're never Chinese enough for people from China & Hong Kong, and you're not white enough to be American." -- from a recent diner.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Mike Long & Franky Ho

From the OpenTable editors: Drop a pin in Chinatown for your mapo spaghetti needs—the playful Four Kings pop-up now has a permanent address. Watch chefs Franky Ho and Mike Long prepare crowd favorites like fried squab and chili crisp pig head in an open kitchen in the lively dining room, complete with retro '90s and Y2K Hong Kong memorabilia and a Cantopop soundtrack.

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Four Kings in SF is a "creative izakaya-like spot" blending traditional Chinese and Japanese flavors with a nostalgic 90s Cantopop vibe. Diners rave about the "amazing flavors" of dishes like mapo spaghetti and XO escargot. Though some find items salty, the overall dining experience is "incredible" and welcoming.

    Food was surprising but delicious, often better than what I was expecting. You can spend a ton there but we didn’t and were more than satisfied with the mains.

    A small and kicky Cantonese fusion restaurant in Chinatown. A bit difficult to get an earlier dinner reservation but well worth it. Claypot rice and pig head chili cold appetiser are amazing.

    Delicious! Limited options for vegans (cabbage, pea shoots, green beans, jasmine rice, veggie fried rice if they have it that day) and vegetarians (squash croquettes). Many of the vegetable dishes are flavored with shrimp paste or meat sauce or bacon. The cauliflower was delicious but prepared with bacon. We loved the rich flavor of the green beans! Loved the sichauan cabbage. We ordered a vegetable fried rice with mushrooms and egg -- would definitely order that again. My fiance loved the squab. Great date night.
