King's Wok

My friend and I drove in from Staten Island and were looking up soul food restaurants in New Jersey…read moresince we were going to be in the area visiting the Liberty Science Center with the kids. After leaving the science center, we decided to head straight to this establishment, not knowing what we were getting ourselves into. Little did we know, this place is extremely popular and that we probably should have placed an order ahead of time. We ended up waiting about an hour and a half for our food, and to be honest, we were extremely frustrated. We were hungry, annoyed, and disappointed because no one communicated that the wait would be that long. If we had known ahead of time, we likely would have made a different decision. That being said, we decided to be patient and wait--and I am so glad we did. Once I got back into the car, I took a small taste of the food and immediately looked at my friend and said, "OMG! This food is so delicious. You're not going to believe this!" When we got home and actually sat down to eat, we were blown away. The quality, flavor, and care that went into the food were incredible. Every bite made us understand why this place is so popular. I don't enjoy waiting that long for food, and I do think better communication about wait times would make the experience much better. However, the food was so phenomenal that it completely changed my perspective. Great food is hard to find, and this place truly delivers. I would absolutely come back again--but next time, I'll definitely order ahead!

I ordered the fried fish with sides of candied yams and macaroni and cheese. The fish was fried perfectly and tasted great. The yams were one of the best I've ever had.

The service was pleasant and we were in and out in 20 minutes. I will definitely be back to try other menu items

The staff here is incredibly nice and makes you feel right at home. I'm already planning my next trip back to try their Smashburger, which I've heard great things about. Also, a huge plus: they serve Baonannas banana pudding for dessert!

When you walk in, the aesthetic feels a little unfinished, almost like they're still moving in, but do not let that influence your expectations. The food does all the talking. I ordered the boneless jerk chicken platter, the chicken curry roti, and grabbed a beef patty from the display. I started with the beef patty flaky, warm, perfectly structured, and stuffed with incredibly seasoned meat. It practically melted in my mouth. Easily one of the freshest, most flavorful patties I've ever had. The boneless jerk chicken meal was outstanding. The chicken was moist with a subtle smoky flavor and a perfect kick from the jerk sauce. Paired with plantains and rice, it all came together beautifully. The chicken curry roti was just as impressive. The aroma alone hits you the second you open the wrapper. The curry was rich, flavorful, and the bone-in chicken inside was so tender it fell right off the bone. And the staff there was outstanding the woman that helped me was very nice. Very respectful all around amazing. Portions are generous, flavors are authentic, and everything tastes freshly made. I highly, highly recommend this spot to anyone craving phenomenal Jamaican food. This place is the real deal.

I'm a big guy but I'm pretty conservative about where I spend my money and I just felt like I could have had more. Do I think the flavors were good, absolutely. But for the community, it's rough. I want everyone to eat good food but only if it's affordable. It's not just this one but others too. Service was good. And the interior it felt rustic and diner like, which I actually like. Only reason why I'm knocking it is price to portion ratio for the lunch special. But flavors, service is good in my book

The service was awesome - our server was friendly, attentive, and helped us make a few decisions in what we wanted to order. They had a special that night for a $10 burger and fries, so we ordered that, jerk chicken mac & cheese, and plantains. As an appetizer we ordered coconut shrimp. Everything was great, but I think the coconut shrimp and jerk chicken mac were the stars of the show. The plantains were cooked perfectly, I just probably could've done without the sweet glaze. The burger and fries were great, and best of all a great deal. It seems they have different deals on other days of the week too. We also ordered drinks. They have a few Caribbean classics like rum punch and pina coladas. I got the rum punch which was super strong and delicious. I will definitely return in the near future to try their classic jerk chicken dish :)

The vibe is exactly what you want good music, great atmosphere, drinks flowing from the jump. We started with the Tamarind Ball and honestly, that alone was worth the trip. The new menu? A whole moment. The Salmon Pie empanadas were addictive, the Jerk Chicken Egg Rolls had the perfect kick, the Stuffed Crab Cake was rich and satisfying, and the Sticky Spicy Sesame Wings don't sleep on those. Every single bite hit. They picked up right where they left off and somehow made it even better. If you've been waiting to go back, this is your sign. Some things are worth the wait.

What a shame since the amount of times I've ordered garbage, takeout Chinese (specifically since China Chalet closed due to COVID). For the purpose of people who live in the area I would have to say that China chalet is the most comparable restaurant in the area. While the flavor was close in terms of them both being excellent have to give #1 the #1 spot in this competition. The sesame beef has historically been hard for me to find where the meat is tender and flavorful without being chewy and overcooked, their execution and quality of the beef was stellar. chicken and broccoli 5/5 sesame beef 6/5 ;) egg roll 3.5/5 (they are very good but a bit expensive, this is the one item I'd have to say China chalet has the upper hand in) Fried rice 4/5 To describe the fried rice does the restaurant justice as it is not the yellow rice or white rice with soy sauce that many of the takeout restaurants tend to serve but true fried rice with great pieces of roast pork. When looking at the menu I would not compare their pricing to any takeout restaurant in the area because as I said they are not takeout. I would not say they're fine dining in any sense but are a place that I would go and sit down and have a meal with my girlfriend (minus the pandemic). Last but not least I am quite picky when it comes to The manner in which my food is prepared they followed my instructions perfectly, not to mention I wrote these instructions in the comments and forgot to follow up with a call (usually how I confirm the changes) and was pleasantly surprised to find my meal executed perfectly. Keep up the good work guys and if you're looking for a good if not best Chinese food restaurant in the area give this place a try. You won't be disappointed.

The pork fried rice was lacking flavor, good color and can use some bean sprouts and scallions. The ribs were ok but I've definitely had better. Needs char and a good bbq sauce. The dumplings were blah, sauce did not help either. And the egg roll was mush inside, no meat either. Only good thing was the mustard packets. The service was quick, but too much lack of love put into the food. Gotta fix that! Typical takeout spot few chairs and tables. Not worth the price for the bland food that was served. Sorry guys, can't recommend trying them out to only be disappointed.

The ambiance is not that great even though there's a big space and there was a lot of junk sitting around the place like extra stock of drinks and boxes all over the place. I don't think people really eat-in here. When I did takeout, it was still not worth the price of other similar restaurants in the area. Also this place doesn't have combinations sold together -- you have to buy rice on the side for EVERY dish which is not a traditional way to serve each dish in general. The prices here are not worth trying it - way overpriced and overcharged! Should be more affordable since we do not get the rice with the combination plates.
