    My mom wanted crab with bean sauce but they did not have it. You have to order it in advance a few days before. Service was cool and the atmosphere was ok. They need to update furniture and rugs. It's outdated. Parking is easy in the lot adjacent to the restaurants. The food was very flavorful and the quality of what we ordered had nice big quantities. Prices are affordable for all the food you get.

    Love this almond cookie that comes with my lunch special! I got the shrimp with white wine sauce. My favorite!

    This isn't the fanciest place around but it's reliable , large portions and good. We had the beef and broccoli which had large chunks of beef. We also ordered beef fried rice and egg drop soup.. Food was good all around- no complaints with anything we tried. Service was extremely fast. Once we had our orders in , food came out very quickly. The quality of everything was pretty solid, and serving sizes were large. The prices here are very reasonable .

    I've been coming here for years. Food has always been good and comforting. The food is exactly what I expect to eat and enjoy. I know all the waiters by name and really love the service and the "welcome back." Juan and David always give excellent service. Mandarin King has been around for 43 years. The decor and restaurant is a little weathered but decent. It's not a Michelin Star ambiance but a comforting casual dining experience. The owners are 3 siblings. Jerry, Jimmy and Jenny are great. Yah, sometimes you'll hear them arguing but what family doesn't. I think it adds to the ambiance.

    Undercooked dumpling with meat still raw. Also hair in lobster, lots of hair, like wtf.

    Great for delivery! I've driven by this place on numerous occasions, but never stopped in because of its outside appearance. It looks closed for business. I finally stopped by last week as I was planning a Lunar NY gathering and wanted to order Chinese food. I was surprised to find many people dining inside. After looking at the menu and reading Yelp reviews, I decided to order from this restaurant. It did not disappoint. Ordering was easy (I called in a day in advance but you could order online). Delivery was on time. The driver was polite. The food was warm and nicely packaged. The items were generous in portion and tasty. Pricing was reasonable. I ordered the following items: Beef Chow mein Kung pow chicken Tangerine chicken Sautéed string beans with white garlic sauce Baby bok choy w mushrooms Bean curd with veggies (no meat) Chicken fried rice White rice, Brown rice The best items were the vegetarian dishes, the beef chow mein, and the chicken fried rice. Took me several years to try their food, but better late than never. I will order from here again.

    Kung Pao chicken

    My favorite Chinese food restaurant now that Golden Sky has closed down. I love their wor wonton soup, Kung Pao chicken, honey walnut shrimp, chicken fried rice and combo chow mein. And of course the complimentary jasmine/black tea is a plus!

    Does MK have any low sodium dishes?

    Yes, I've had many of their dishes with garlic sauce, light salt or even steamed! Not everything is soy sauce based. Just let the server know! Hope you give it a shot and enjoy!

The Chef is the new owner and his menu is definitely a delicious twist on local Mexican food. The aesthetic is beach surf culture meets Ikea earthy comfy. They do not offer rice/beans on entrees. Everything is basically ala carte. I had one asada baja taco, an order of chicken taquitos and they were fried lightly and had a good crunch but not too dry which they can be when overcooked. I split an order of buffalo cauliflower and it was so good. The sauce that accompanied it was very flavorful. The winner of my meal was definitely the chimichuri sauce. It was definitely packed with flavor and I put it on everything. I had the special featured strawberry cheesecake recommended by our server. The presentation was pretty and the cheesecake was good but I was so full from my meal I only had a small bite. Will come back very soon. Range: $$

I asked for sauce on side but only received 1 sauce for 4 fish tacos. Don't know if that's normal as it was my first time. So I ate 3 dry fish tacos. That wasn't as enjoyable as it should be because I'm a sauce guy. The shrimp ceviche was a miss for me. Something about it was off. I was expecting something similar to what you get at mariscos but it felled short. Would rather get ceviche elsewhere. Overall it was a 3.5 experience. Rounding up to 4 as I know they just switched hands and hopefully it gets better.

Our food was ready within 15-20 minutes, hot freshly cooked and nicely packed. The serving portions were of good amount. It's not in abundance and definitely not lacking. It was more than enough. The Swai Grilled Plate was flavorful and the white fish was not overcooked. We will definitely order this again along with the other food items on our order. The Lobster Roll Plate was tasteful.

Because of that great experience, we decided to go back after a long time, this time on a Sunday. When we walked in, we immediately noticed a big difference . There were a lot of empty tables. We ordered shrimp cocktails (cócteles de camarón) and sat down. Unfortunately, this time the food was not good at all. The juice in the shrimp cocktail was extremely salty,so salty that I couldn't eat it. I went back to the counter and explained the issue. The girl helping us was very nice and explained that they cure the shrimp with salt since it's not cooked. She offered to remake it, which they did, and I appreciated the effort. However, even the remake just didn't taste good to me. I like my seafood to taste fresh, with a natural seafood flavor not overly salty or loaded with condiments. This experience made me wonder if something has changed at the restaurant, especially since it was so empty compared to our first visit. The staff was friendly and did try to make it right, which I appreciate, but overall this visit was disappointing. Since it's also out of our way and we only stopped because we happened to be in the area, I don't think we'll be coming back. It's unfortunate because our first experience was so much better. The ambiance was pleasant. They had a couple of TVs playing football, music in the background, and the place was clean but the food just didn't live up to our previous experience.

One half of the space is devoted to a…read morefood case where you can pick up several Filipino dishes to eat at the restaurant or to take home. That side is named Kusina Ni Kuya and has a vast catering menu. I came here for a carry out from the Cajun side and picked as I did before, the half pound shrimp. The only difference is this time, I opted for the peeled version. This was prepared in the house Kuya sauce, medium spicy, with an extra of boiled okra. The dish did not disappoint and was consistent in texture and flavor, and a glorious mixture of spices as before. This entrée has a lot of oil added to it, but that is what brings out this burst of taste and satisfaction. Everything was soaked with the thick sauce. This time what I did at home was, I boiled a few golden premium small potatoes with skin, sliced them into quarters and added it to the mix. Once it soaked up the gravy of the shrimp dish, the potatoes ascended to a totally different level. So how does the peeled version compare to the whole shrimp version? I would say that the whole shrimp selection is the way to go. The meat is not overcooked and you get the flavor off the shrimp shells too, that kicks it up more than a notch. In addition, the fact that you have to use your fingers to get to the shrimp meat (though messy), heightens the pleasure of the dining experience.

    Let me be crystal clear--Cajun Ni Kuya just embarrassed half the seafood spots out there…read more Absolutely embarrassed them. I went in for the $38.99 all-you-can-eat, and what did I get? Not some sad, watered-down, reheated nonsense like other places try to pass off--I got REAL Cajun seafood. Properly cooked. Properly seasoned. Actually worth paying for. I ordered crawfish, clams, mussels, and head-on shrimp, and every single tray came out piping hot, drenched in that bold, garlicky, buttery sauce that hits you like a freight train. Not bland. Not timid. Not "lightly seasoned for the masses." No--this is full-flavor, unapologetic, get-it-all-over-your-hands Cajun. The crawfish? Seasoned all the way through, not just dusted on the outside like some lazy joke. Other spots--take notes. The shrimp? Perfectly cooked, heads packed with flavor. If you're scared of that, stay home and order chicken tenders. The clams and mussels? Clean, tender, not a single one questionable--which already puts them ahead of places charging MORE and serving LESS. And then the sides--this is where it gets ridiculous. Boiled okra, sweet corn, quail eggs, all soaked in that same sauce? That's not a side--that's a statement. Everything is absorbing flavor like it's supposed to. No shortcuts. No laziness. Just execution. And here's what really separates them from the clowns-- the quality never dropped. You keep ordering, they keep delivering heat. Same flavor. Same intensity. No "second round is worse" nonsense. That's what happens when a kitchen actually knows what it's doing. Meanwhile, other seafood spots are out here charging premium prices for bland, overcooked garbage and calling it "Cajun." Stop it. Just stop. This is how it's DONE. Messy. Bold. Loud. Flavor in your face. Hands covered in sauce. Zero regrets. If you leave Cajun Ni Kuya unsatisfied, don't blame the restaurant--blame your taste buds. I'll be back. And I'm bringing an appetite that's ready for war.
