(And would like to send King chefs Jess and Clare special greetings from the Mothership; River Cafe in London, where we are having lunch a the moment.
Ruth, Charles and Sian send their continued congratulations for a job well done…across The Pond.
For us, you bring the inventiveness, dedication to craft and superlative local products to your restaurant.
Thank you! (And yes, I have your cookbook… not your incredible skill of course!)

An incredible low key place that was recommended to me by a friend! There’s maybe 12 tables in the space itself and it’s very small so talking was a bit of a challenge but it was delicious food and the service was great!

Had a lovely evening at King!!! Our waitress, Evelyn, was super helpful with the menu, quick but also perfectly paced, could read the room, and gave great suggestions. The food was delicious and I would definitely come back, especially for their steak that comes with the best potato and spinach sides.

I loved how simple the menu was, letting high-quality ingredients truly shine. The experience felt thoughtful, seasonal, and quietly impressive.

Excellent food and restaurant in the West Village! Very cozy, with a small menu, which means the food is fresh and carefully selected. The staff is also very kind. I tried it for lunch, now I need to experience the evening ambiance :)
See you soon !

We came here around the US Open last year. Cute place but cramped and way overpriced for the offerings. Meal was meh and not very memorable. More hype than gastronomy. Wouldn't return.

the menu rotates, but all the food was incredible. the best were the chickpea fries (panisse) which were so smooth on the inside and crispy, and the apple tarte tatin. gooey sweet apple and buttery pastry underneath.
the roast chicken was also very solid, well cooked with an interesting bread sauce.

Great relatively small restaurant. Had a very tasty ravioli, topped with crushed hazelnuts and shaved parmesan followed by braised shortribs. Dessert options were a bit limited. Just had some chocolate ice-cream. Service was a bit too fast to my personal taste.

Great date night spot. Food was very good but not exciting in an “I must come back” way. Wine list great. Service was superb (thank you Moises). Excellent atmosphere.
I thought about whether I should write this review for several weeks, as I don’t like to be overly critical or harsh, but write this to warn other diners. It’s actually shameful to scam customers like this. I got the white truffle pasta ($95). Now, I knew what I was getting into when ordering truffle pasta, and that the truffle is the star of the show and the reason for this cost. Nonetheless, I was expecting a delicious pasta that complemented the truffle.
This pasta was not that. The pasta itself was indistinguishable from a box of Barilla angel hair pasta in taste and overcooked. The sauce was extremely watery and flavorless (see photo for evidence). The portion was tiny—other members of my party were satisfied with their main courses (not the pasta), while I was left hungry even with multiple shared starters and the tarte tatin for dessert (it was burnt but still decent). Even worse, the pasta was completely cold. I was with other people that I did not want to burden with my disappointment by sending it back, but I am honestly appalled that such food can be sent out to customers.
White truffles are in season right now and appearing on many Italian restaurant menus in the city. Please do yourself a favor and order it at a different restaurant. Do not waste your money on the white truffle pasta here. This was a lazy beginner cook effort at fine dining cost. One of the most disappointing dining experiences I have had.

King deserves the title of Food Royalty. Forget the endless menu crawl. There is focus, intentionality and delight in every bite. This place is wondrously creative, not wacky, just throughly rewarding. With each dish, my mind hears thunderous applause. And I have a sense of passion and place!
We have loved this restaurant for ever!
