## Four Kings: A Nostalgic Journey Through Cantonese Cuisine Step into Four Kings and be transported to a vibrant world of nostalgia and flavor. This San Francisco gem, helmed by chefs Franky Ho and Mike Long, serves up a modern take on Cantonese cuisine, infused with the chefs' personal memories and a playful spirit. The atmosphere is electric, with 90s Cantopop tunes filling the air and retro Hong Kong memorabilia adorning the walls. The open kitchen allows you to witness the culinary artistry firsthand, as chefs prepare dishes like the signature **fried squab** and the innovative **mapo spaghetti**. The menu is a celebration of bold flavors and unexpected combinations. Start with the **XO escargot with milk bread**, a decadent treat that will leave you wanting more.

It's a place to gather with friends, share delicious food, and reminisce about the golden age of Hong Kong cinema. So come hungry, come curious,

    We had a wonderful experience! The food was insanely delicious and came out of the kitchen surprisingly fast. They paced the dishes well so we were never rushed but always had food on our table. Suggestions were made around order size that was super helpful and they were able to answer any questions we had about the menu. Our favorites were the Popcorn Chicken and the Mapo Spaghetti. The staff was incredibly attentive and the vibe of the restaurant was super relaxed making for a delight of a dining experience. Haven't had such a great meal like this in a long time...It was absolutely worth the hype and trouble of scoring a reservation. I'll definitely go back again!

    The food could’ve been better, only savior was the Singapore crab dish. The clay pot dish was okay but not worth the price, same for the other food. It’s just another hipster Chinese food restaurant. Better off going to a Chinese restaurant

    I honestly wasn’t impressed. However, I will be back to try other menu items I didn’t get around to the first time. The escargot was bland. Little to no flavor at all. I wish it was more garlicky or well seasoned. I loved the bread it came with though. The popcorn chicken was good. The mapo spaghetti was good as well but i don’t have to have it again. The best thing i had was the popcorn chicken and the complimentary appetizer they offer. Overall, I’d rate this 5/10 but I’ll be back like i said to try other menu items before i completely give up on them.

    Delicious, authentic dishes that reminded us of our childhood eating at restaurants in SF Chinatown in the 70’s and 80’s. Great service and timing of dishes.
