The surreal atmosphere of this awe-inspiring restaurant in the Meatpacking district of Manhattan combines the serenity of Asia with the flamboyance of 16th century Paris. The menu features fanciful interpretations of Chinese dishes and delights even the most discriminating palates. - Open Table

“Stunning” decor lends a “dark, sexy” backdrop to the “trendy” scene at Chelsea multilevel “mega room”, a “bigger-than-life experience” where the “energetic” crowd is “blown away” by “flavorful” Asian dishes. - Zagat
