Mr. K's NYC
Mr. K's is situated in the landmark old GE building. The restaurant's architecture is art deco in keeping with the entire building's design. The dining room has high ceilings and plush carpeting and is adorned with museum-quality art pieces. The wood work, fabrics, and etched glass are magnificent. Mr. K's is easily the most elegant and spectacular Chinese restaurant in New York City.
The Art Deco decor with its dusty-rose color-theme, huge scalloped banquettes, cherry wood covered columns and etched glass has the aura of opulence. The well trained wait-staff spoil you with personal and benevolent service and owner, Johnny T. Kao, is as charming and elegant as he is a perfectionist, as are General Managing Partners Edward Cheung and John Fong.
With such drama, food is not a subordinate player. After one bite of any appetizer such as the delightfully crispy and light Shanghai-style spring rolls or marvelous Vegetarian’s Purses, a medley of mushrooms and vegetables wrapped in tofu sheets, fried and then softened in a soy-sherry sauce with a touch of garlic, you know this is a serious kitchen. Best of all, try the scrumptious Sesame Shrimp Toast with ground shrimp on bread triangles and sesame seeds, fried to golden brown, and an elegant Seafood Imperial, consisting of minced lobster meat, shrimp, fish and scallops sautéed and served in a refreshing lettuce cup.
Entrees are no less admirable. Peking Duck is superlative here and the incredibly accessible $48 prix fixe dinner ($28 at lunch) includes some of the best dishes. Miniature thimbles of sorbets are offered as palate cleansers and scented towels are served after courses that require them.
Other memorable dishes include a special of Chilean Sea Bass, quickly seared and snowy fleshed within, Lobster in or out of the shell with a choice of preparations and “Firecracker” filet of fish simmered in a tangy Szechwan sauce with onions and a touch of tomato.
Desserts,are a welcomed concession to western taste, since that is one area of Chinese food least appreciated by Americans. We loved the Green Tea and Pistachio Ice Cream and chocolate lovers should try the Tri Chocolate Mousse Dome. There is a short and well priced wine list starting at $28 with plenty of bottles under $40, glorious private rooms and an air of "money’s no object" at Mr. K’s, with its mix of upscale Asians, downtown Wall Street types and lovers out for a night on the town. Perhaps that explains the lovely gesture of giving the fairer sex a corsage when they are seated. Mr. K’s is not the most expensive luxury Chinese restaurant in Manhattan, just one of the most civilized and gracious and thus retains its A Major rating.

About Mr. K’s
In China, cooking is an ancient art rather than simply a nourishing necessity.
Those dishes, which have stood the test of time, provide us with what is known as “the classic Chinese cuisine”. A well-planned meal will vary in texture and color as well as flavor and temperature to achieve overall harmony in the tradition of Ying and Yang.
Each of the four main regions of the country has developed its own distinctive
culinary style. Peking (North) provides a tender, delicate taste while Shanghai (East)
uses light and savory flavors. In contrast are the crispy, unusual blends of Canton
(South) and the fiery, spicy seasonings of Hunan and Szechwan (Central and West).
To provide New York city, “Capital of the World”, with the best China has to
offer, Mr. K’s has meticulously searched for dishes representing the essence of each of these regions. The most gourmet recipes with the best ingredients and subtlest of
seasonings have been prepared under the masterful direction of our head chef. Their beautiful presentation on imperial flatware, served in grand style, is an exotic prelude to your delight.
Some dishes are seasonal to ensure the finest quality and freshest ingredients.
Requests for special dishes not on our menu will be accommodated whenever possible. Always available is the traditional Chinese tea or our ceremonial coffee brewed fresh at the table. Both are offered only at Mr. K’s and have been blended according to our secret recipe.
It is our pleasure to provide you with the highest standards of dining excellence
never offered before — a total experience that is unique and memorable. Thus, at Mr.
K’s, the graceful and contemporary Art Deco setting . . . complementing this historic
Midtown landmark building. . . adorned by fine art of jade and silver. . . surpassed only by its exquisite cuisine, provides an ambiance for New York’s elite with discriminating taste.
Magnificent meals, elegant surroundings, pleasurable hospitality, satisfying
service. . . all are yours at Mr. K’s. Pursuit of perfection is our ultimate goal. We hope
you agree. . . and enjoy. . .
