62 years of loyal customers can't be wrong. We are grateful to all of our customers, employees, and critics (...though we may not always agree!). The only way to find out the truth is with a visit. Oft imitated, never duplicated. Thank you in advance.

"The food at Four Kings reads like a metaphor for growing up Chinese in America: you're never Chinese enough for people from China & Hong Kong, and you're not white enough to be American." -- from a recent diner.

Kokkari (pronounced “Ko-Kar-ee”) is a small fishing village located on the islands of Samos in the Aegean Sea, whose name is derived from the small onions that were once produced in the nearby fields. Its fertile soil and Mediterranean climate translated into an abundance of fresh produce as well as treasured seafood and game. Legend tells that Kokkari is the site where Orion, a mighty hunter and a young man of gigantic stature and great beauty, fell in love with the daughter of the king of Chios. For the love of her, Orion forged the island for wild game and seafood to prepare elaborate banquets in celebration of their love. Today, we hope you will enjoy your own celebration as you dine at Kokkari Estiatorio on food “fit for the Gods” prepared with an Aegean palate and the style of innovative California fare.

    Delicious! Limited options for vegans (cabbage, pea shoots, green beans, jasmine rice, veggie fried rice if they have it that day) and vegetarians (squash croquettes). Many of the vegetable dishes are flavored with shrimp paste or meat sauce or bacon. The cauliflower was delicious but prepared with bacon. We loved the rich flavor of the green beans! Loved the sichauan cabbage. We ordered a vegetable fried rice with mushrooms and egg -- would definitely order that again. My fiance loved the squab. Great date night.
