## Four Kings: A Nostalgic Journey Through Cantonese Cuisine Step into Four Kings and be transported to a vibrant world of nostalgia and flavor. This San Francisco gem, helmed by chefs Franky Ho and Mike Long, serves up a modern take on Cantonese cuisine, infused with the chefs' personal memories and a playful spirit. The atmosphere is electric, with 90s Cantopop tunes filling the air and retro Hong Kong memorabilia adorning the walls. The open kitchen allows you to witness the culinary artistry firsthand, as chefs prepare dishes like the signature **fried squab** and the innovative **mapo spaghetti**. The menu is a celebration of bold flavors and unexpected combinations. Start with the **XO escargot with milk bread**, a decadent treat that will leave you wanting more. For a taste of tradition, try the **Hong Kong black peppered steak**, cooked to perfection and bursting with savory notes. Vegetarians will delight in the **garlic pea shoots**, a simple yet flavorful dish that showcases the freshest ingredients. Four Kings is more than just a restaurant; it's an experience. It's a place to gather with friends, share delicious food, and reminisce about the golden age of Hong Kong cinema. So come hungry, come curious,

Fantastic Food and Service. Great Ambiance. Highly recommend the Clay pot rice and Chinese sausage and steak Chow Fun. We will definitely be back to try the fried squab.

We were looking forward to trying out Four Kings after all of the positive reviews but nope, this meal was not it. We ordered the squid skewer, squab skin skewer (special), garlic pea shoots, fried squab, and claypot rice with Chinese sausage and bacon. The squid skewer wasn’t interesting at all … it lacked depth, and was bland yet overpowered by the Sichuan numbing spice. The skin skewer wasn’t crispy and didn’t taste like anything except the black sauce it was served with. Both skewers came with a slice of lemon, which didn’t improve either dish. Fried squab was served medium. It was extremely red, cold, and bland, which highlighted the gaminess in a negative way. Also difficult to eat. Nothing like the squab I’ve eaten in Asia. We left most of it behind. I had hopes the claypot rice dish would redeem our experience but the bacon drippings made the rice oily and the rice wasn’t crispy at all. We had to order a bowl of white rice to balance out the oily non-crispy rice. The best dish we ordered were the garlic pea shoots - that’s not saying a lot. The actual stars were the complimentary peanuts and cucumbers. We left hungry and unhappy.

We had a great experience! Food was very enjoyable (besides that we couldn’t get the popcorn chicken that was already sold out). Outstanding service. Fun yet a bit wacky playlist :)

The atmosphere and the food are nostalgic, modern, and “vibey” at the same time. Old school Chinese music plays while you have drinks and small bar bites to start your meal. You get the classic dishes like cold ginger chicken and pepper steak served in new fresh ways with cool presentations. Each dish we had was tasty, seasoned well, and the flavors felt true to the original dishes. If you get a counter table you will be sitting very close to the next party. We made a reservation through the Visa tables program but others walked in and it seemed like as long as you came at the right time you’d get a seat.

We were so excited to get a table and check out this new hot spot. We ordered everything that was recommended but found the dishes to (ironically) be lacking in flavor. The fried rice was decent and eggplant a little oily but we could've had the same elsewhere. Their "renowned" squab and escargot were huge disappointments and left almost uneaten.

All the food was delicious. They were able to accommodate a toddler. Food came out quickly. Typical noise level for a Chinese restaurant.

We loved everything we ordered. Fish Fragrant eggplant was delish. The free bites were yummy. We had the Mapo Spaghetti which was nice & spicy (we love spice). We also had the Hokkien style fried rice. Shared a bottle of “Mukade Nigori an unfiltered Sake” really complimented the meal nicely. We had a very late reservation so unfortunately there were many items on the menu that weren’t available. That was disappointing so we’ll have to return with an early reservation if we must 😊.

We walked in right at 7:45pm and the people outside said it was a 1 hour walk-in wait at 7:45pm! The place wasn't that full when we walked in ad there were some open tables, but they filled up pretty quickly with reservations. It was so cool seeing Chefs Franky Ho and Mike Long (two Mister Jiu's alums) and their partners Millie Boonkokua and Lucy Li in person working. I've seen their pictures and read their names so much, I fangirled internally. We were seated at the bar next to each other which was fine. I love the art and Canto decor. It's cozy and warm and nostalgic and modern all at once. We enjoyed the complimentary peanuts and cucumber--that was a good starter because we didn't order any vegetables because too many other dishes sounded good. Our waitress said 3 dishes would be good for 2 people--maybe 4 if we got fewer carb-heavy dishes. We ordered the squab ($45) (limited quantities), Mapo spaghetti ($21), and claypot Rice w/ Chinese sausage & Bacon ($26.) We had high expectations for the squab and claypot (which they said would take 30 minutes, but seemed like it was faster.) The squab grew on us--the lemon and powder we were given for it helped amplify the flavor. The claypot was very good--the crispy crackling rice was delicious and rich. The sausage and bacon wasn't fatty but flavorful. The highlight of the night was the Mapo spaghetti.

Great dishes, elevated and delicious! Service is good (lots of water refills) and dishes come out quickly. If you sit at the counter, you’re pretty crammed and don’t get as much exposure to the restaurant decor, but can still jam out to the cantopop songs. Sure, you can find similar dishes for much less in other Chinatown establishments but the creativity and flavors were there. Only miss of a dish for our party of 2 was the huckleberry silken tofu, which was somewhat salty and the huckleberry on top was somewhat astringent and grainy. Everything else was so good! Would definitely like to go back and try more dishes!
