The Kingsway

This chique and upscale new South Asian inspired restaurant in Uptown is a must visit! Being a tea lover, it was great to see a list of Asian teas on the beverage menu. I had the chai which was excellent and well spiced. Every dish we had on their curated menu was delicious and intricately created. Hard to pick my favorite but the chocolate cake was a stand out. Will definitely be back.

Lovely new Asian-inspired restaurant that offers a 4 course tasting menu with several options, to include a vegetarian menu. The robust sauces paired with the well prepared and visually appealing selections were a highlight and treasured discovery as you dug into each course. Service was well-timed, and each dish explained in detail beyond the well-written descriptive menu. Large cocktail with a few mocktails to choose from, along with wine by the glass or bottle, 6 select potted teas, and multiple types of Asian beers from Japan, China, and other countries. Dining room lighting, plating, and linens were on point, along with sound dampening made for easy conversations with friends or an intimate dining experience with your partner. Perfect for a celebration, date night, or just a night you don't feel like cooking and want to turn it up a notch.

We celebrated my boyfriends birthday here tonight and we are so glad that we did. Everything was incredible. I didn't get as many pictures as I normally would because I was soaking it all in. It was so cozy, from the lighting, to the lush green plants, and the delicately placed flowers at each table. It was such a treat to enjoy all the flavorful dishes. We started with Groth Cabernet Oakville which was juicy and fresh, and the old fashioned has to be one of the best we've ever had. The crab, brie, and champagne soup was rich, warm, and the chili sauce made it pop. Like a hug from grandma. So much flavor in the refrigerator noodles. Refreshing, and the black garlic was out of this world. ABC chicken had so many layers of flavors and could have been its own meal entirely. If you like fried shrimp you cannot go wrong with the salt baked shrimp, on a bed of veggies and so delicious. It definitely got better with the Duck Breast à L'Orange & the Izakaya Steak. The flavors, the presentation was all on point. Even the desert were beautifully placed and so tasty. Thank you all for an incredible evening. I can't wait to try Saffron next.

Another home run from Saffron chef Ashton Vilkhu. Asian fusion/contemporary menu with a variety of influences from stir fry noodles to izakaya, as well as a decent bit of gulf coast flair with shrimp and seafood offerings. Menu is prefixe style consisting of 4 courses and 3 options for each course. Everything well executed and balanced. Superb service, it seems there were at least 1-2 busboys or staff assisting the server. Had a hard time narrowing down my cocktail choice, but settled on the Day Dreamer, which was light and juicy but not too sweet. Great non alcoholic options too including this coconut Ube cocktail that was very popular among tables around us. Interior is clean and warm. You can tell there was thought put into every detail. Even the forks were unique. Definitely could see this being a great spot for a special date night or bringing guests to see the best of what Nola has to offer.

Chef Ashwin has really outdone himself with this restaurant! Everything was delicious, but the Refrigerator Noodles were my favorite. The space was so comfortable and inviting, and the staff treated us with kindness and hospitality. It was a 10/10 experience!

This was truly the best meal i’ve had in awhile. LOVED the Golden Hour cocktail and hamachi. Salt baked shrimp was so incredible- ate the tails. Service was great, vibe was everything.

The food is good, but pricey. It's $92 for a prix fixe dinner of 4 courses. The pictured soup was outstanding.

This was my second time dining at Kingsway, and once again, it blew me away. The tasting menu is brilliantly done — not limiting at all. Each visit felt like an entirely new experience: the first time I chose mostly seafood, the second time I chose the incredible duck and lamb. Both meals were fabulous, creative, and beautifully plated. The decor and atmosphere strike that perfect balance: stylish and elevated, yet still warm and approachable — you feel special without feeling stuffy. The service is just as thoughtful and spot-on. Kingsway is truly a gem and such a great addition to the New Orleans restaurant scene. Can’t wait to go back for round three!

I went to the restaurant after a recommendation from my husband who had eaten there with a friend of his. The restaurant which is a remodeled Vietnamese restaurant is beautiful with a nice bar and excellent sound proofing. The menu is a fixed menu with three courses, each with three selections, and three desserts for a fourth course. Every item is delicious with a medley of Asian-fusion flavors. Every item which we tried was superb and very imaginative. The fixed menu is worth the price with each item being a delicious and imaginative fusion of spices and flavors. The service is excellent and personal. The noise level is much better than most restaurants today, and you can actually have a conversation. I would recommend it highly. It is a recent opening of a new restaurant across the street from the family's superb Indian restaurant, Saffron. The family now has two of the premier restaurants in the very competitive New Orleans market.

The Kingsway was one of the best meals Ive had in a while! The service from start to finish was very attentive. The decor was minimal yet beautiful but the star of the show was most definitely the food! The soup was very flavorful, a bit rich but so many complementary flavors. I really enjoyed the tuna solera was delicious with the aged chili giving it just the right amount of heat. The second course I had the ABC chicken which was crispy and delicious. I also tried the salted shrimp and the shrimp was well seasoned but I loved the cabbage that accompanied it! My third course, the snapper, was my least favorite course not because it wasnt good but the first two courses were bursting with flavor and this dish was milder in flavor but still enjoyable nonetheless! To finish our meal we all opted for the chocolate cake and it was the best chocolate cake Ive ever had and I am not a chocolate lover but it was delightful. The portion sizes of each course was just right. Forgot to mention our drinks. We all ordered the pai gow which is the dealers choice drink. You let the server know which liquor and flavors you enjoy and they surprise you with a cocktail and we ALL loved our dealer's choice. Just trust the bartender and step out on faith. This was a culinary experience and I cant wait to go back

Ambiance - stellar. Sooo cute and modern! Service - excellent. Our waiter was so pleasant. Food - soooo good! I told my husband halfway through that my taste buds were dancing haha. From the duck to the crab soup to the lamb dish...all cooked and presented so delicately. 10/10!

First visit to The Kingsway and it won't be the last! Everything about the restaurant is fantastic! We started with cocktails. My husband and I decide to order Pai Gow - Dealer's Choice (bartender's choice!) The only request I had was Vodka based and my husband's request was a bourbon drink. The bartender hit a home run! We loved our drinks! For the first course we had the crab & brie bisque and tuna solera. Second course we both ordered the salt baked shrimp. Third course I had the snapper and husband ordered the steak. Fourth course key lime pie and chocolate cake. Everything was absolutely delicious! Service was amazing! Treat yourself to this fabulous new restaurant!

Only dining at bars and I'm glad to be one of the best customers as mentioned by chef personally. The bar is superb with outstanding bartenders and staff. The food was out of this world. We tried every item on the bar menu and we came back the next day for another round. The third time we came back and tried the prefixe menu. The tuna, the lamb, and the fish. All equally outstanding. The cocktails are always flowing and my boyfriend is very particular about his drinks. They always nail it. Tried two of the three desserts. The chocolate dessert is superb but you can't go wrong with the key lime pie either. On night four, we were going for just a drink and the bar was full (a first for us to witness) yet they were exceptionally accommodating for us and offered us a table until something opened up. You can find us there any night of the week. Some of the best that Nola has to offer--consistently!
