Acerca de este restaurante

Innovador
Ideal para la hora feliz
Romántico

In the 1920’s Tom Ah Quin was the most influential Chinese businessman in downtown San Diego. He owned the underground gambling establishment known as the Monkey King Lottery House, as well as Nanking Café. While being heavily involved in local politics he earned himself the unofficial title as “Mayor,” which helped Monkey King Lottery House become a meeting place for many powerful politicians and businessmen, where they would not only hold meetings but unwind and enjoy the fruits of their labor with food, drinks, and entertainment. In 1935, the Monkey King Lottery House was raided by the government, which brought the gambling establishment to an end. The original tile entry way of the Nanking Café still exists to this day. So much history was made under this roof, which is why Monkey King was brought back to life so that patrons from all over can enjoy its charm and nostalgia for many years to come.

The food was not flavorful at all. Our order got messed up a few times...don't think the servers were very educated on the menu or understood the requests very well.

Service was awful. Waiting a long time for drinks. They brought us wrong food. It was my wife's birthday and they were alerted as such, but didn't even acknowledge it or do anything. Kung Pao Chicken was exceptional Seichuan beef noodles horrible Would not go back. They need to improve and take care of their customers

Would not recommend this place for dinner. It looks modern and cool inside, and we all liked the atmosphere of the restaurant, however the service was extremely slow (we didn't have someone come to us for about 20 minutes after we were seated), the food did not come for a long time, and when it did come the food was disappointing. At 7:30, I understand that they are going for a loud, fun atmosphere, but it was basically impossible to hear the person across the table from you. The drinks menu looked good, however, so it looks like this place might be better for meeting up with a friend for a drink, rather than a group for dinner.

Our appetizers came out with our food. The food was bland. The service was terrible. We were not offered refills on our drinks. We also won’t offered dessert. Awful experience. I called the manager to give feedback before writing a poor review. I was promised a call back and never received a return call. Don’t waste your time eating here.

Dim sum assortments had to be sent back because all the food was cold in both bamboo steamers. Dim sum tasted like frozen food. Service was slow. Spicy shrimp was good; but too spicy. Other shrimp dish was good. Notified the hostess and server we had a birthday; but nothing was done.
