We got seated right by the window, so lovely! The ambiance is so nice and the decor is so cozy and cool. We got the free peanuts and cucumber salad first- so flavorful and a nice way to whet our appetite. The scallop vermicelli was SO buttery and flavorful. I wanted another order!! The claypot rice came steaming hot and full of meats! Get something to cut it with! The black bean clams were delicious but a tad salty so it's nice to have with the claypot, or even an order of veggies and plain rice! We ended our meal with shaved ice that was layered with black bean, custard, and boba! So refreshing and a perfect end! I would come back 10000%

Don't skip the Mapo Spaghetti, clay pot, XO escargot, or fried squab. We loved trying the different dishes, and these are all worth ordering. Definitely come hungry and save room for dessert, because that was too good to miss! Beyond the food, the decor gives the restaurant so much character and makes it a fun setting for a night out. The service was impeccable throughout our meal, with an attentive team that made us feel well taken care of. Between the delicious food, great atmosphere, and excellent service, Four Kings made for a memorable evening. Highly recommend for date night!

Overall, only good things!

We ordered the duck soup, which doesn't actually have any meat in it (it wasn't super clear from the menu, but it is literally mostly broth). The taste was light and fragrant, so good for people who don't like duck, but I was hoping for more of the ducky essence, which it didn't quite have. The duck fried rice was more generous in its portion of meat and it smelled heavenly. The dessert salted egg yolk custard buns were very good, but I wish they left us the lid for the steamer so that the extra bun (the serving is 3) could stay warm while we ate. I'd be very interested to come back for the Peking Duck, but you really should have more than two people if you're ordering it, since it's a lot of food, and they don't offer half orders.

I even went 45 minutes out of my way just to go there. Just be aware that if you want the dim sum experience there is much more during lunch. FOOD: Wonderful. We had a wide variety of food. Honey BBQ Pork, Peking Roast Duck, Harborview Beef, Baked BBQ Bun, Xiao Long Bao, Kung Pao Chicken, and Garlic Honey Chicken. Honey BBQ Pork was surprisingly good! Loved it. Roast duck was exactly what a good Chinese restaurant should serve which is NOT a given. Baked BBQ Bun was excellent (not to be confused with cha siu bao which has a different texture and taste). Garlic Honey Chicken was terrific. Similar to orange chicken but a bit more sweet and a tiny bit less tangy. Not really garlicky at all. Kung Pao Chicken was good but not exceptional and the Harborview Beef was tasty but a lot like teriyaki beef jerky. I think it was way overcooked. SERVICE: Good portions and packaged really well. We did take out and they had it packaged and ready on time. Too bad they don't have it available downstairs so you have to either wait for the literal two person elevator or climb up and down the stairs. COST: A bit pricey but at least you get what you paid for. It's hard to find this high quality Chinese food so if you're lucky enough, go and try it. My favorite is still Begoni Bistro in Chinatown but this one is definitely worth it and I might change my mind if I get to try the lunch!

The restaurant has a bit of a nicer / upscale ambiance (so wish I'd dressed nicer but alas). We ordered the bbq pork buns, Szechuan spicy sauce cold chicken, half roasted duck with wraps, braised tofu with vegetables, and these scallion spinach noodles. BBQ Pork Buns: I loved the bbq pork buns. The bun itself was kind of light and slightly sweet (reminded me of the pineapple buns at Mei Lai Wah in NYC), and the pork inside was tasty as well. Szechuan Spicy Sauce Cold Chicken: Then we got the cold chicken, which was not bad. The chicken itself was really tender but I do feel like the sauce wasn't anything special - it tasted very similar to store bought Lao Gan Ma, with only a very slight, imperceptible difference. Roasted Duck w/Wraps: These were quite solid - the skin was thin, crispy, with the fat largely removed. I was slightly expecting the thinner authentic wraps vs. the thicker bao buns but these were still good. Scallion Spinach Noodles: These were probably my least favorite. They were lacking in flavor (had to ask for some salt). With salt, it was maybe slightly better? The noodles have a scallion flavor that is just sooo light and subtle, it tastes plain. And so, if I came back, I'd definitely opt for a different noodle dish. Braised Tofu w/Vegetables: Lastly, we all unanimously enjoyed this dish. It was a generous portion of tofu, and the sauce was rich that was easily soaked up by the tofu and vegetables. There were a few shiitake mushrooms that soaked up the flavor amazingly that I wished there were more. However, it's pretty typical vs. other cheaper Chinese restaurants, so I don't know if there was anything necessarily standout about it if you've had this before. Still enjoyed it of course. Overall, we had a nice dinner that we were all pretty full from. That being said, our bill actually wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be especially for SF (came out to little bit less than $50 per person including the 18% service charge they put in). I think the food was quite good, but unless I'm explicitly wanting to go for the more upscale vibe, I'd probably opt for a cheaper more mom-and-pop Chinese restaurant as the food quality would likely be pretty similar.

Went to Peking Wok to order food to go, while sitting in there a women came in with a baby that was choking. The lady became very nervous and asked the waitress for some water for the baby. The waitress looked at her with a mean look and said, " We don't have no water". NOW THIS WAS A BABY CHOKING!!!!!!!!!!! How could a person just let this happen!!! What type of person or people just let this happen and stare as if they could careless! This was so disturbing to me, my heart went our for this lady and lucking someone that was with her gave her some water for the baby. I will never eat at this place again!!! These people at Peking Wok are heartless and just want your money for their greeeesssssy food. People don't buy from this restaurant. If they show to your face they don't care about you just think what they do to your food you caint see. ooh and if you spend 20 or more they make you pay 50 cents for watered down sweet and sour sauce.....

BBQ Fried Rice - The fried rice was pretty classic in flavor, lightly savory from the soy sauce and mixed in with egg and BBQ pork. It was a good base to balance out the stronger chicken dish we got. Korean Chicken - Such a good deal, it was almost 12 pieces of chicken for around 10 dollars. It came out piping hot and the chicken had a great sticky sweet and sour glaze. It was tangy, savory and eating a lot of it does become pretty heavy. Overall, a very no frills place near Valencia worth checking out if you're looking for a good deal on some solid Chinese dishes.
