My boyfriend and I have tried this restaurant at least 2 to 3 times and it has been awful each time unfortunately. The atmosphere is extremely loud with hardly any people there, the food took over 30 to 45 mins to arrive. Once the food arrived, I asked what the sauce was and he didn't know. The udon soup was way too salty that I got sick, and my boyfriend's shrimp was not properly de-veined, which is gross. When we complained, they tried to make us pay in full, but we only paid for what we had: the lychee Martini. Which for it being extremely small was $17. Ridiculous.

Family-run restaurant with a unique selection of Asian & American comfort food.Ordered:Loco MocoGarlic Tiger Prawns with garlic noodlesTeriyaki salmon bowlDishes were large so we had plenty of leftovers to take home.Everything is made from scratch, so don't expect everything to come out fast. If you're looking for quality comfort food...this spot is definitely worth trying.Great place to go with friends for a drink as wellWill definitely come back to try their popcorn chicken and kinchee fried rice.

Was in the area and never really gravitated towards fusion restaurants. However this place way exceeded my expectations.Service from Sunny was attentive, friendly and personable. The clean and spacious restaurant was also not too crowded mid afternoon. The new owners that took over the restaurant decided to do fusion because she genuinely enjoys cooking food from different cuisines. You can tell because she tries to plate everything immaculately.We ordered the truffle fries, japanese tiger prawn curry rice, grilled skewers and the toast. The food was filling and all reasonably priced. Highly recommend the grilled skewers that were really flavorful, and you can tell the marinate that went into it just from its chargrilled aroma.Can't wait to come back on weekend nights for their special menu item.

Fantastic gem of a place in San Mateo. Ordered the fried chicken sandwich and it did not disappoint. Great texture and flavor. The classy vibe of the restaurant doesn’t hurt either.

Aesthetically outstanding. Shrimp pictured was a bit overcooked. Noodles could’ve used a little bit more garlic in my opinion. price was GREAT. We found this place to be very clean.

The food and service here is top notch! We decided to stop in after seeing it a few times on walks. It was a real treat- attentive staff, amazing fried chicken, and chill vibes. Prices were reasonable, too. Definitely coming back soon!Kid-friendliness: Lots of space and seating, even for larger families. Parking: Parking can fill up quick along the street so grab a spot the moment you see one

New owners just took over the restaurant! Place has a nice full bar and roomy seating area. Had the fried chicken sandwich with truffle fries and an old fashion. Everything was delicious and my drink was on point! I was also served cucumber infused water, which is always great for a warm day ?.

Food, drinks, what more could we ask for 25th Ave? Great service,friend chicken sandwich and the rose gin drink (I forgot the name) was perfect!
What a fantastic gem on 25th! Super tasty comfort food that's a couple of notches above what's you expect. Love their Kimchi Fried Rice and Loco Moco. The Fried Chicken Sandwich can literally serve two and the fries are perfect (slightly crispy on the outside). The black sugar bubble tea has no business being this good. A go to place for me!

Loved the rose latte! It had dried rose-petals and had a very subtle, yet not lost rose flavor. I got mine with lychee jelly. Will definitely be getting it again!

Tried their take out for the first time today and it was delicious!!! Highly recommend their fried chicken sandwich and popcorn chicken! We also tried their Japanese curry, pork noodles, and boba fruit teas which were also delicious! So happy to have this food/boba option nearby! The staff were super friendly too. Will definitely be back to try some of their other dishes and milk tea bobas!

This place is fantastic, and will satisfy your kimchi fried rice or garlic shrimp rice.and they also have bubble tea. I feel sad that I did not know about this place sooner! apparently, it's been around 3 years ago. where have I been this whole time! I got my garlic shrimp rice and Kingkat wave-cut fries, which was a delicious combo that I would not pass upon. another item that CANNOT be passed up. The black sugar bubble tea was probably my favorite thing ordered that day. We also shared the beer-battered fish taco, which was delicious. All in all, I would still highly recommend KingKat Bar & Eatery for a nice lunch. I will definitely come back again.

Came on a Thursday evening. Quite a selection of Scotch, bourbon, rye and Japanese whisky. Cocktails were decent (ordered an Old Fashioned and a Whiskey Sour). Food was in tapa-style portions. Between the two of us, we ordered 5 dishes and the Clover Leaf cocktail as refreshing dessert. Would recommend so they stay open, but not be so busy that we can't just walk in and get service. ;-)
