Kings County Imperial, Featuring Classic Central Chinese Cuisine, Opens In Brooklyn

Josh Grinker and Tracy Jane Young, the team behind Stone Park Café in Park Slope, Brooklyn, have opened Kings County Imperial, a market-driven restaurant featuring the cuisine of Central China.

Grinker and Young, who have traveled extensively through China, will source a number of ingredients from the restaurant's own on-site garden of heirloom Chinese vegetables.

The menu, which will be served family-style, features items like the market salt and pepper dry fry that rotates daily between shrimp, squid, beef rib, blowfish tails, and tofu; Cantonese crispy garlic chicken; clay pot noodles; and prawn fries with Chinese ketchup.

In partnership with Kings County Soy Works, the restaurant will serve their small-batch, handcrafted soy sauce, barrel-aged and sun-fermented in Southern China, both on tap for the kitchen, and to guests as a table condiment.

Kings County Imperial is open for dinner on a first-come, first-served basis from Sunday through Thursday from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m., and on Friday and Saturday from 6 p.m. to 1 a.m.
