Kings Co Imperial’s Downtown Brooklyn outpost operates primarily as a delivery-focused extension of the well-known Williamsburg Chinese restaurant, channeling the same playful, Brooklyn-leaning take on Chinese-American dishes. It’s less about ambiance here and more about composed rice bowls, dumplings, and bento-style meals that travel well to nearby apartments and offices.
Must-Try Dishes:
Pork Soup Dumplings, Angry Pig Fried Rice, Cold Sesame Noodles

Insider tip: Plan for delivery or pickup; this location is optimized for off-premise eating rather than lingering.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking is limited and competitive; nearby paid garages are the most reliable option.
Dress code: Casual—streetwear, office casual, and athleisure all fit right in.
Noise level: Low to moderate—primarily counter activity and delivery traffic, not a loud dining room.
Weekend wait: 10–20 minutes for pickup orders; limited or no dine-in waiting since it’s delivery-focused.
Weekday lunch: Usually no wait for walk-in pickup, with quick order turnaround.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—vegetable dumplings, cold sesame noodles, and several rice and noodle bowls can be ordered vegetarian.
Vegan options: Limited—some noodle and vegetable dishes can be modified, but sauces may contain animal products.
Gluten-free options: Limited—rice bowls and some proteins can work, but many sauces contain soy-based gluten.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Better for a casual takeout date than a sit-down first impression, since the space prioritizes pickup and delivery over ambiance.
Can I get a table without a reservation? This location isn’t built around seated dining—plan on takeout or delivery rather than expecting traditional table service.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes for takeout—dumplings, fried rice, and simple noodle dishes work well for kids, but there are no kid-specific amenities.
Best For
Better for: Quick, well-executed Chinese-American delivery that feels more curated and polished than typical neighborhood takeout.
Skip if: You’re looking for a full sit-down dining experience, romantic atmosphere, or traditional banquet-style Chinese service.
