JK by Chef King

We had a lovely dinner at JK's. The decor is interesting to say the least, but some would probably use ecceltic as a better descriptor. The furnishings are quite nice in a faux garden setting. The wall paper, and the booth upholstery are rich and vibrant all in a complimentary manner. Their web site states the restrauant is modern Asian, I would call it Asian fusion, but whatever, it's really good.The food and service were excellent. We started with the lobster and shrimp dim sum. Oh my, what a culinary delite! They are not very large, come five to a serving off the appetizer menu, and are delectable. I ordered a dirty martini and Jan ordered a chocolate expresso martini with our photo infused into the top of the drink. The photo was fun, but the drink was too sweet for our tastes I ordered the Sea Bass served with jasmine rice. It was excellent. Jan ordered lamb chops, served with jasmine rice, and kimchi. She thought it was excellent. I tasted the kimchi and it was mild and a good compliment to the lamb and rice. We shared an order of brussel sprouts, another excellent choice. They were flash fried and tossed in soy chili sauce and sprinkled with sesme seeds.The noise was low at about 75% occupancy even when the guitarist/vocalist started playing.Their signature drinks are a little pricey, with some coming in at $25. Overall dining expense is high. We're looking forward to returning for other menu items. The next time we will probably sit at the bar and order appetizers - fun!

We came here for Valentine's Day dinner. We didn't realize there would be a set menu for $85 per person. Our server was friendly and attentive. We got a little taste of a beet, cashew, and mascarpone cheese bite one plate. It was really good, but a tiny bite. We got to choose an appetizer each, which was nice. I got the beef and I really liked that. My boyfriend got the tuna tacos and he said they were good. I did eat a bite of something super spicy on my beef kabob that left my mouth burning like crazy. I drank a lot of water and it still was burning pretty bad. Idk if that was part of a pepper on there or what, but that was terrible and my eyes were watering like crazy. My tongue finally stopped burning and we got to pick between a udon, salmon, and a beef dish. We both got the beef dish. I thought they would come as a single piece of meat, but it was already cut up for you. I found that the meat got cold fast this way. It was pretty good for the first few bites until I realized half my plate was covered in fat. I feel like that should have been trimmed somewhat. There were some prices I would put in my mouth and it was a huge bite of fat. My boyfriend's steak did not have a lot of fat on it and I was pretty disappointed in that dish. The truffle fries were good, but I was left wanting some salt on both the fries and the steak. When our desserts came out, it was very very underwhelming. You think about a Valentine's Day dessert as being something special, but this was not that at all. I did like the two pieces of chocolate and I get the idea they are going with by being interactive and actually licking the plate, but it missed the mark for an enjoyable valentines dessert. The experience was neat and we enjoyed the inside decor and ambiance, but the food was a let down for me.

Ok so the pros: Very cute restaurant, love the decor and the vibe. I came for drag bingo and it did not disappoint! I love Betsey.The food is really good, like really good however I had to send the fries back and I was thinking of sending the Brussels back because they were way too salty. It kind of took away from how good they were. The truffle fries that I returned did come back perfect. Also make sure to get the pork belly bites, they were so worth it.I ordered the unlimited mimosas and they were super strong, I feel they were a good value. Also the fact that they serve it separate from the mixer. That's a plus.Negatives: Pricing! I currently live in VA and I understand how the prices of things have gone up but jeez. There were a ton of fees added on to my bill and none of those fees gave the lovely waitress 20% which was a disservice to her. Just taxes and service fees.

Immediately you're greeted by the hostess, and the rest of the staff takes good care of you. The restaurant is well decorated from top to bottom. Every wall is a photo op moment. Food is unique and tasty. A good spot for birthday dinners or date night.

The 'J' in JK stands for 'Just' and the 'K' stands for 'Killin It'Everything on the menu at @jkbychefking is exactly what I want and love - a medley of Asian dishes with a fresh, modern twist. Not to mention, the space is gorgeous (think upscale whimsicality). I highly recommend their dim sum, tempura, raw bar, oysters... pretty much everything. If you're in the mood for a moment, order a drink with your picture printed on it. The service is impeccable as well! You can't go wrong when dining here so you MUST check it out when dining in the city Holiday party, anyone? #jade8that #okcrestaurants #asianrestaurant #okcfoodie #okcfood #jkbychefking #downtownokc

I have been wanting to visit JK by Chef King and finally had the chance to. #1- the service was impeccable. Our waitor, Angus, was so kind and patient. #2 - the Pad Thai was unlike any I have ever eaten! There was none left to take home. #3 - I had my first old fashioned tonight and now they all need to taste like this. Tonight was a perfect GNO.

Went here tonight with some work friends. Fairly affordable, excellent service! We got several of the cocktails, then shared a number of small plates as well as some pad thai and fried rice. The cocktails were gorgeous and tasty, the shareable plates were fabulous. Standouts were the chicken and truffle dumplings, the tempura little gem lettuce, and the shisito peppers. The pad Thai was oddly sweet but the Japanese hot sauce and fresh chili peppers spiced it up nicely. For dessert we shared the fresh fruit platter and it was the perfect end to the evening. All in all, a place like this back home in California would have been nearly triple the price.

FOODLobster Taco - Wonton on the outside is crispy and not too salty. Lobster also isn't too salty which makes the flavors good. The mango gives a nice sweet taste to it. It typically comes in 3 but we got it in 4 and pretty good overall. Brussels Sprouts- They were a bit on the salty side. Tastes pretty heavy on the soy sauce that they toss it in but flavor wise it's delicious!Crispy Rice Tuna - Crunchy rice topped with spicy tuna. The tina part is quite spicy. It is a bit heavy on the sauce side that overpowers the tuna taste. Ahi Tuna Pizza - Basically the same flavor of spicy tuna on the crispy rice but they put it on a tortilla. For some reason this one was especially spicy which takes away from the flavor. Pornstar Burger with Truffle Fries - Fries are on the softer side and have some Parmesan on it. Well seasoned and sauce makes the fries even yummier. Ordered medium rare but it seemed more on the medium well or well done side. Lamb Chop - This was probably my table's favorite. The lamb was sooooo tender. A bit salty and heavy on the seasoning but the tenderness was divine. It comes with rice and kimchi. The Kimchi does not taste like kimchi but isn't that bad. Hibiscus Royal - Pretty strong tasting drink, not as fruity as I expected. Pretty good and there's an edible flower in the drink. VIBES The place is really dark. The flowers give a nice spring feeling. Perfect for date nights. They have bar seating but you have to be 21, and they also have booth or comfy couch seating at tables. The tables are a bit on the smaller side which makes it hard to put lots of food on the table.SERVICE Service was nice! It was pretty crowded but they were a bit slow. Since the table was so small we were waiting 15 minutes or so for them to take up the menus and ended up having to place them on the floor.

First make sure you have reservations and that's a 25 a person if canceled reservations. You arrive the place is beautiful the ceiling is gorgeous it is crowed and you have to squeeze between people and servers . The bathroom is only one person at a time so sometimes there's people waiting on the side for them. The food is good but I expected more culture in the food like more Asian spices mixed in these foods. It was still good . The pornstar burger I did expect it to be juicy but it was okay I think you're paying for the gold on top . I expected like an Asian spicy sauce drizzled on the patty. lol but overall good the drinks were fantastic. That crown drink is 25 dollars . It cute , picture worry but lil high I thought you can take pictures with the crown lol but overall great experience and happy I got to taste it . Oh and gage was an amazing server very sweet and on top of everything!!!! Belly, welly, jelly

We visited JK for my birthday and had a great time. They were very accommodating with adding extra seats last minute and our food was delicious. I also had the infamous crown drink. It was a great presentation.
