Our Story

Rooted in
Flavor.

King Dragon 188 isn't just a restaurant β€” it's a fixture of East Harlem. Located on Madison Avenue since long before the neighborhood changed, we've been serving the community with the same dedication our chefs bring to every wok.

Our kitchen bridges two great traditions: the fiery, garlic-forward dishes of Sichuan and the refined, ingredient-driven approach of Cantonese cooking. Every morning, our team selects the freshest produce from local markets, and every evening, our chefs transform those ingredients into dishes that honor decades of culinary heritage.

Whether you're joining us for a quick lunch, a family dinner, or a celebration, you'll find the same warmth here that makes this neighborhood feel like home.
