· Chinese restaurant, Cocktail bar, Delivery Chinese restaurant
· Lower East Side
Modern Chinese with standout dim sum and cocktails; lively, cozy room, solid but sometimes salty mains, and service that can feel rushed at peak times.
Our take
Kings Co Imperial delivers solid neighborhood dining through strong food quality—particularly exceptional dim sum and soup dumplings—paired with warm, stylish LES aesthetics and capable service. However, inconsistent execution on mains and occasional peak-time rushing prevent a higher grade. Best experienced as a dim sum and cocktail destination rather than full-service destination.
One caveat: Some dishes described as overly salty or bland by a minority
