BK Seafood Market was a refreshing find in Bay Ridge. We came for dinner with my wife, parents, and…read moresiblings and ordered a big family-style spread of more than 10 dishes. We had stir-fried snails, jellyfish, Dungeness crab, live steamed fish, braised eggplant with fish fillet, stir-fried cauliflower with preserved meats, coral shrimp, sliced conch with crispy tofu, beef with string beans, seasonal vegetables, and fish maw soup. Everything came out hot, delicious, and well seasoned. The Dungeness crab was a standout, and it was refreshing to enjoy such a wide variety of seafood and traditional dishes. My wife was pleasantly surprised by the entire meal. The interior was nicely done and felt different from many other Chinese restaurants in Brooklyn. Service was attentive, and they seated us in a corner where we could enjoy our family conversation without constant interruption. The food came out very quickly, maybe a little too quickly, but we were fine with it. They were unfortunately out of a few fish and clam options, as well as several wines, but it did not take away from a great dinner. Highly recommended for a family-style Chinese seafood meal in Bay Ridge.

One of the better Chinese banquet style restaurants that I've been to. Came during late…read morelunch/early dinner hours to beat the dinner rush. It was around 4:30pm and when we arrived, it was empty which was perfect for us. Space is big and spacious and their tables, plating, and decor really stood out to me. Seemed fancier than other Chinese restaurants! Ordered a variety of dishes and they were all really large portions and well-prepared. None were overly salty or sweet, just right. My favorite was their chicken, eggplant and salted fish claypot dish. It's one of my favorite dishes in general and they made it very well. Definitely will come here more often and will rec my family to try this place out for our next family event.

I cannot believe this was my first time at Ortobello. Everything about this place feels a little…read moremagical. From the outside, it honestly does not look like much. I have walked past it many times and always assumed it was closed. Turns out they only serve dinner, which explains a lot. The dining room is small with just a handful of tables, so it is probably best to come early or make a reservation. The tight space and rustic interior give it a lot of charm. It almost feels like stepping into a place that has not changed in decades, which really adds to that old school Italian vibe. The service was incredible. The waiter, who might also be the owner, was so friendly and welcoming. He made the whole experience feel personal, like you were being hosted in someone's home rather than just eating at a restaurant. Since it was my birthday, we went a little overboard with the ordering. I had to pace myself because I honestly wanted to devour everything that came to the table. The portions are generous and every dish we tried was great. The mozzarella in carozza was easily one of the most indulgent things I have ever eaten. It was rich, crispy, cheesy, and completely over the top in the best way. I thought that would be the highlight until the stuffed artichoke arrived. The stuffing was incredible and packed with flavor. I only wish the artichoke itself had a bit more flesh, but I would still order it again without hesitation! The entrees were just as satisfying. The chicken parm was excellent, but by that point we had already gone too hard on the appetizers, so most of the mains ended up coming home with us. Even though we were all stuffed, I made sure to save room for dessert. The ricotta cheesecake was absolutely worth it! It had subtle hints of lemon and the texture was light and creamy. I will probably be thinking about that cheesecake for a while. Overall, Ortobello checked every box. The atmosphere, the food, and the hospitality were all fantastic. I will definitely be back!!!

We also got a lobster roll $25, combo ($5 extra for French fries and can of soda). Both dishes taste good, but the grilled sea bass is definitely the winner! Service: we were greeted right away when we entered the store. They have seating inside but they also have some seating outside in the back. The guy at the register is super friendly, explained to us what they have as special and made recommendations. We ordered, paid and another server brought our food to the table when it was done. That server was also super friendly. We will definitely come back!

The place is small inside so we decided to sit outside because it was a beautiful day. We had to tell them it wasn't a good look to have large garbage cans and a motor bike where we have to eat.

The grilled Bronzini was a nice size and it was really good but I had to ask if they would grill the other side. The fried snapper needed more seasoning for my taste but overall the food was good.

What impressed me the most was how friendly and attentive the servers were and how they were able to take care of the little things like filling water glasses regardless of how busy the restaurant got. And at the same time, they were coordinating pick ups and deliveries. The chicken in my partner's pad Thai was a little dry, but overall the food was delicious and very well prepared. Another reviewer noted that parking can be a challenge but the restaurant is right on the B8 bus line and within steps of the N train 18th Avenue station.

I love the burnt tips of the charsiu, my favorite bite. I've been here for dinner and their dishes are actually pretty good. Really liked their walnut shrimp, the salt and pepper pork chop and the stir fry squid dish (see picture). The restaurant interior is quiet outdated, but the food is good. I haven't tried their dimsum, so I cannot judge. Definitely give their charsiu a try (the half fat/lean cut). I highly recommend it and you'll not be disappointed.

I guess for spots like this, you really need to know the people working their otherwise you'd get whatever they give. They cut the pieces so big that when we get home, we'd still have to cut it in half so it's easier to eat. The taste itself is decent but otherwise I wouldnt come back here. They also made bak tong go which I think they do well in. Most places cant get the texture right but they do. At $4 a box thats only 75% full, I wouldnt complain because its closest to what I had growing up.

One of the lovely waitresses asked me if I wanted some homemade salsas & I obviously said yes- they were all super tasty. All in all, The King of Fish is deserving of its name.
