We had the classic king set lunch menu and it was fantastic! The food was so delicious! Beautiful place and lovely ambience and decor. Great service! Highly recommend and definitely would come back., Lilian George, 2 months ago > Walked in with no booking and high expectations, walked out with a need to experience the food again..and again. The staff were very welcoming and professional, we were surprised to be accommodated since we hadn’t booked a table. We chose bar seating and were able to watch all different kinds of cocktails being made, though I would recommend getting a table so you’re not cranking your neck around the entire time to talk to your dining partner. We got a few drinks, all delicious. Started off with fries topped with truffle salt, Chicken fried rice balls, and sticky beef wontons. All delicious an, Kelsey Lawrence, 4 months ago > I chose this place for my birthday, and it was a great decision from the start. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with a lovely welcome and the restaurant had a really nice, fancy atmosphere that I enjoyed straight away. They also have a great cocktail menu. (Just a note for beer drinkers, there were only a few beers on tap.) The food was amazing, everything tasted fresh and well prepared. My favourites were the pāua patties and the prawn and crayfish sliders. The duck was good as well, although it was a little too sweet for my taste. I’m really sorry I forgot his name, but the, Dokyun Kim, 3 months ago ## Doors - [What stood on this ground](https://www.chch.live/before?lat=-43.5329422&lon=172.6340536) - [On the map](https://www.chch.live/map#-43.5329422,172.6340536,17) - [Documents that name it](https://www.chch.live/documents?q=King%20of%20Snake) - [Christchurch Central City](https://www.chch.live/christchurch-central-city), the suburb - [The OSM record](https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/9824705884), fix it there ## Questions, answered briefly **What is King of Snake?** An Asian restaurant in Christchurch Central City, Christchurch. **Where is King of Snake?** 79 Cashel Street, Christchurch Central City, on [Cashel Street](https://www.chch.live/street/christchurch-central-city/cashel-street).
