    Attention tourist taking the cruises in this area; wait to eat in this place after your tour, you will thank me! Excellent food, great attention. I was worried at first, because most of the other reviews were all just about the hamburgers (I was trying to eat healthy) but they also have the most DELICIOUS salads. Don’t miss it!

    Great place! Swung by off an Instagram recommendation (DevourPower). Had to come try the giant mozz stick! Though I forget our waitresses name, the service was very good and atmosphere although a little dim was very nice overall. Table candles were a nice touch and brought a little romantic vibe to the evening. Definitely a nice date night place! Food was very good, mozz stick lived up to the hype and I'm happy to say the 1/2 lb. Rueben burger was a solid choice. All the flavors kicked through. Truffle fries were also on point, might have made a mistake getting the double, too much for the partner and I to finish! 😆

    Delicious! Definitely pricey but I really enjoyed this meal. They serve American Kobe beef, which was delicious. They really have their burger combos down and which made it hard to choose one - they all have lots of toppings and sauces. You can also make a customized burger. They don’t come with fries so you have to order them as a side if you want them. Everything about the meal was great. The staff was friendly. Would definitely come back! Also it’s on the bottom floor of a big building if you’re having trouble finding it.

    My family and I came here without a reservation for lunch on a Monday and we were seated immediately. A member of our party was running 10 minutes late and the host made a remark that he usually doesn’t seat parties unless they’re all present (just an FYI). The wait staff were very nice and explained the menu well. We got the large Truffle Fries (just ok) and the large Sweet Potato Fries with a sweet honey sauce (delicious). The portions were huge! Each of their burgers have 2 prices - 1 for a half pound patty and 1 full pounder (which is just 2 half pound patties). I had the half pound “We’re Jammin” Burger which was large. It had melted brie cheese, coffee braised bacon and onion jam and fried spiced yuka. It was delicious and cooked exactly like I requested (medium). The patty was juicy and flavorful. The fried yuka, however, was maybe a bit too overcooked and hard. At points it was digging into my gums and were quite painful to chew. The place is clean and has a club/lounge type of vibe.

    This place is amazing. The service was exceptional. The food was perfect. The beef was so tender and juicy. I have to return. Give this place a shot if you love burgers and like a low key atmosphere.

    Came only for the hot dog was blown away by the flavor texture. Taste every single thing about it. The bun was a little soft but otherwise very good

    Definitely recommend for a burger! Unique burgers all made with waygu beef. Highly recommend the giant cheese stick appetizer and banana pudding dessert! Onion rings were really great too. Kid and family friendly but no kids menu which is why I didn’t give 5 stars.

    By far the best burger place in the city! This was my first time physically there because the place is so far from anywhere in the city, but I ordered from there many times and it was great. Still, there's no substitute to getting the burger hot and fresh dining in, so I recommend making the effort and go there.

    Hands down the best burger in NYC! I don't give 5 stars easily to a restaurant, this is special. If you haven't been here, you're missing out! Also, the service is of the best and highest quality, shout out to Roccu, thanks for the amazing service!

    Stopped in for a cocktail with my friends. Well stocked bar and the bartender was awesome! He was able to make us drinks not on the regular menu. The staff was very friendly. We didn't get to try their burgers as we were pressed for time but plan to go back another time to try it.

    Absolutely stunning food and service. The waiter recommended a tuna salad, which was perfect. Came back the following day to watch there again. Some of the tomatoes in the salad were not fresh and tasted funny. The manager took them to the kitchen and we got a complimentary dessert on the house. Again we let the waiter recommend something from the menu and it was absolutely awesome. Very tasty food, very comfortable space and atmosphere and professional staff. Would definitely come back! Best food I've tasted in the NYC!

    We love trying new restaurants that carry Athletic Brewing na beer when we are in Manhattan, this restaurant might be on the list every trip now. It is that good across-the-board

    What a GREAT find the Kings of Kobe while spending the night in Hells Kitchen before departing in the morning for a 16 day Transatlantic Cruise ( NYC to Rome ). Everything about this place was 5 star IMO. Service ( Chase my waiter was fantastic! ), ambiance and THE Best Burger and Fries I have had. If your in the area, do yourself a favor and Go !

    The Empress burger was BIG and juicy, such a good burger. Started with the bonfire nachos and they had a kick and crunch and the street corn was insane and had a kick too. Yes it is a bit expensive, but you will not leave full or disappointed.

    We went in for a burger during our stay in NYC. The burgers were so great, we decided to eat there again a week later. Not only the food, but the service was super also. Our waiter, Phillip was very kind, he even remembered us from the last time. Kings of Kobe is a must if you're in New York! 😁

    I cannot reccomend this place enough. I ordered the Duke of Lux and it was the best burger I have ever had in my life. A symphony of flavours create a truly perfect burger. Not to mention excellent service and atmosphere too. 5 stars

    Waren spontan in der nähe .Es ging auch ohne einen Tisch zu reservieren. Die bedienung war meines empfinden etwas aufdringlich. wenn man aber drüber hin weg schaut alles gut . Essen ist echt Mega gut . Die Pomes waren mega lecker so wie der Burger Selbst auch . gerne immer wieder .

    Amazing hamburgers and service. The waiter has been kind and observant (he would come to ask how it was going and fill the water without even asking). We felt the tip was more than deserved. Speaking about the hamburger, they looked amazing and tasted even more. You could taste the quality of the products and the good mix of them. We’ll have this place in mind as a guarantee of comfort food.

    Omg!! Everything was super tasty. I loved it!! I definitely recommend it to you. The place is so clean, the service is perfect and very relaxing. You can have a very good time there with friends, family or your partner 😉.

    Absolutely great. I loved this place. When you come in you see this nicely decorated place with lots of space. We were seated fairly quickly and our waitress was very friendly and welcoming. The food took a while but after seeing the portion sizes I could understand why. The burgers were THICC. The food was very very good! The burgers were nice juicy and tender and were pretty big, the fries were also very nice and crisp. And it’s located in a very good spot. Overall I recommend you come here and make sure you’re extra hungry cause the burgers are no joke.

    Don’t hesitate, get your a** in here! Unbelievably burgers with even better service. If you’re looking for a gourmet spin on some classics (burgers and dogs) they won’t disappoint!

    Greatest fries I have EVER eaten. Stopped by for dinner with my family on a trip to NYC. I'm from Charlotte, North Carolina. None of the restaurants I have been to, there, has fries that get this close. The burguer was good. But the fries were the highlight for me.

    I had a 10/10 experience at Kings of Kobe. Their cheeseburgers are to die for! I also ordered a chocolate-peanut butter milkshake. I'd recommend coming here!
