If you regularly get Dim Sum, you know that East Harbor Seafood Palace is one of the classic spots…read moreto go to when in Brooklyn. As a lover of Dim Sum, I start my weekend morning by making the long commute just to get a taste of everything. The spot is constantly bustling with people moving in and out of the restaurant, the waiters running around, the carts strolling to each table, etc. These days, cart services have been decreasing, but it's nice to see that some spots have still kept them around. My rotation always includes the following-har gow, deep-fried noodlefish, shrimp cheong fun (rice noodle roll), zhaliang (fried dough rice noodle roll), chicken feet, and beef tripe-and now more recently, salt and pepper squid. I'm not even joking when I say this, but my mouth was salivating when they placed everything in front of us. Everything was fresh and just so full of flavor. I randomly get reminded of the taste and suddenly crave it again. We also have to thank the wonderful expeditors who would make sure we got everything we wanted. When the salt and pepper squid had run out of the carts, they made sure to request more for our table and got us a fresh, hot, and steaming plate of it. Everything at dimsum might seem very hectic and quick, but when you're sitting down with your family and friends, it can really feel calming. They also give you a choice of tea; we love getting chrysanthemum to wash down the grease from the fried food. There's no wonder people make this a weekly routine; it's just got everything you could need.

This is my parents' preferred dim sum spot in Brooklyn, so I've been coming here for a while now…read morebut didn't realize I never wrote a review for it. This time, we took my in-laws, since we were in Brooklyn, and we don't get to have good dim sum in North Jersey. We came at 12:30 on a Saturday, and it was about a half hour wait. Parking is either street parking or valet, but it's a small lot, so there's usually a line of cars waiting for the valet. We ordered the usual suspects - ha gow, shumai, spare ribs, chicken feet, etc. But this time, my FIL noticed some sort of red rice roll stuffed with ground shrimp and youtiao, that we tried. It was really good, and I don't even normally like youtiao. But it was stuffed with flavorful ground shrimp, which I loved. We also ordered some mei fun, and ho fun with beef gravy. I'm not a huge fan of ho fun with gravy (I prefer the dry stir-fried version), but it came with lots of beef. The portions were also huge, which is another reason my parents like this place because there's always leftovers for the next day. This is definitely our go-to dim sum spot in Brooklyn. I would just come earlier if you don't want to wait.

My first time ever was back when they were still in the food court. The congee was amazing, and…read moretheir roast pork and roast duck were legit so good. Ever since they moved to the new storefront though, every visit has just gotten worse. The spot itself is small but busy, enough that takeout orders are flying out. There's a self serve dine in area in the back, but it's unkept. I'm not in this area as often anymore, so it's even more disappointing when the experience doesn't feel worth the trip. The congee is still good, texture and flavor, but the whole experience a little sour now. My partner and I agree we'd rather spend our money at our usual spot instead. I get the usual service vibe for a local Chinese spot like this, but this time they unfairly charged me $25 for an appetizer that was literally just bits and ends. The service was rough, it felt like they were forcing pieces on us and couldn't care less. They didn't give us spoons for our congee, and they forgot our fried crueller. When I asked for it, they gave me attitude instead of just owning it. At this point, after enough tries here, I'm good.

The portions were much larger than we expected, and everything was delicious. We would definitely order all of these dishes again. Overall, we really enjoyed our meal and will be back to try more items on the menu. If you're in the area, I definitely recommend checking out King's Kitchen!

Tried Char Sui, Half Chicken, Duck and roasted pork belly. All of these meats are very delicious and at times char Sui is sold out. Especially if it's later in the day. Also tried a beef fried rice dish which was brown rice. To me it seemed a little too oily for my taste. I especially love the wonton noodle soup with Ho noodles. Order in advance if you are picking up. The soup can take at least 10 to 15 minutes to prepare. They do have veggie stir, rice flour rolls and a lot more items that I will trying in the future. I don't speak Chinese and cashiers don't speak English much. But have adapted to picking out order on app. And take a screen shot so I can show cashier when ordering. Items are written in chinese and English. Also if you pay in cash no tax. They do accept credit, debit and other electronic payments. Service always friendly.

Finally made it to Uncle Lou, often talked about as one of the best Cantonese spots in Chinatown,…read moreand it definitely lived up to the hype. We went straight for their signature deep fried garlic chicken and decided to share the Peking duck--and both dishes were beautifully presented and packed with incredible flavor. The chicken, in particular, was crispy, aromatic, and absolutely delicious, though it's worth noting you'll want to be a bit careful as there are quite a few small bones throughout. The Peking duck was equally impressive, cooked perfectly with rich, satisfying taste in every bite. You can really tell the kitchen puts care into both quality and presentation. On top of the food, the staff were adorable and welcoming, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. The ambiance felt warm, lively, and comfortable--perfect for a relaxed meal in Chinatown. Overall, a fantastic dining experience with standout dishes and great energy. Definitely a spot I'd come back to.

This was actually my second time having the pleasure of dining at Uncle Lou. This is one of the…read morenewer trendy spots in Chinatown so naturally I was a bit skeptical. This second go around was a celebration dinner with my brother so we ordered quite a bit to share. For starters we had their crab rangoon, wontons in chili oil, and salt pepper wings. The rangoons were perfectly crisp but the filling just didn't impress me all too much. I love a good smack of green onion & crab, this one lacked both. Definitely not my favorite rangoons and only 3??? Hmm. The wontons were sublime though. They were nice and plump with a nice punch from the chili oil they bathe in. The chicken wings were pretty standard, I kinda wish there was more pepper on it. It was nice and salty but severely lacked pepper for being a pepper oriented dish. As for the General Tsos? YUM. This was great. The ratio of batter to chicken wasn't bad and it had such a great crisp. The actual General Tso sauce was perfect as well, I could not stop picking at this. The Shrimp Lo Mein was also fantastic, very smoky which I'm a sucker for. The shrimps were perfectly cooked as well and the noodles..... bouncy umami goodness. Delicious food, decent prices, great service I should add. In Chinatown, you learn that hospitality is entirely optional. Here though, they are welcoming and communicate very well with you. Our waiter and the hosts were especially lovely on this night. For next time, I'd pass on the crab rangoons and go for their crispy garlic chicken over the salt pepper wings. There will definitely be a next time though!

We finished with the bkrib sandwich, which was probably my favorite for the portion size, and delicious ketchup with the shoestring fries. What we ordered was perfect for a party of 3, and a good mix of refreshing and also rich dishes.
