Kings Co Imperial

Kings Co Imperial is the perfect gateway drug into colder weather. The food is spicy, the cocktails are on-draft, and it's got that cozy feeling that doesn't make you feel like the impending winter is quite so soul-crushing. Not to mention, the kitchen is arguably pumping out some of the best Chinese food in the city. They're best known for the mock eel, a vegetarian marvel that's fashioned out of mushroom and doused in an addicting soy. Don't stop there though. The tea smoked mu shu duck comes ready to wrap in a handmade pancake, the perfect accompaniment to a bowl of hot and sour soup, flecked with lily flower, shrimp, chicken, white pepper and red vinegar.
