Chinese Kitchen (King Bistro)

When we entered there wasn’t anyone, and tbh the restaurant’s design looked a little bare… it almost looked like it wasn’t doing well. When the food came, my entire family (with three kids) loved it. We were here for lunch and ordered noodles, and I could just say it’s comfort in my belly. Tho they took our order wrongly and served us an extra bowl of noodle (and we paid for it), we took it bcos we wanted to try something else from the menu. A senior lady (I suppose she’s the one who cooked the dishes) came out and asked if everything was alright, and even gave us a free bottle of drink. Oh, there was also a small crowd also flowed in during our meal as well. Would recommend!

Haven't been here since the place seems to be a younger and hippieer place, however, the food attracted me to bring the family here. It's called a "bistro", it's a little bit like a bar with real food. When we arrived at about 8pm on a Friday night, the place was almost full, with a couple of bigger parties. They serve Kirin on tab, you can order in like a table side keg with pour, it looks like at least a couple gallons. They serve Chinese style skewers/kabob, with spicy or mild tastes. These are made to order, freshly charcoal grilled, great for drinking. They also serve Chinese hot pot, that's what I will try next time. They also have a few other dishes, like fried rice, some noodle dishes, and Mantis shrimp，pepper and salt style, best you can get in San Diego. The services maybe something they can tighten up a bit. They were friendly and attentive enough, however, since it was busy, they did forget one of our hot soy milk drink. Overall, a great place to relax and enjoy the evening.

The food was so good nothing else really matters. 😋 I ordered the lamb, which was well seasoned, perfectly cooked, and very tender. The restaurant was empty, other than my daughter and I, however, there was a table filled with to-go and delivery orders. After taking my first bite, I understood why. Even sitting at the table, dining in, one has to order from the app/website. We were hungry and tired, so we just went with it. I wasn't going to post a review because of the lack of service and the emptiness of the place. What's more, after I took my first bite of food, I completely forgot about it. I ate until my plate was empty.

Very very authentic Chinese "street food". I got the Salt and Pepper Mantis shrimp. This place is open late, serves drinks, and has a younger crowd. There aren't many Chinese food places open till midnight.

AMAZING EXPERIANCE! Went there with a couple of friends/family and the environment was amazing, the food was great and we had a good time! Definitely would go again!
