Wolfgang Puck's second restaurant opened in 1983. A unique blend of Chinese and French fusion explodes with flavors unheard of before. Imitated but yet never captured to this day this fusion of flavors keeps you craving and coming back for more. The food is served family style, creating a fun sharing experience that brings people together. The trend setting open kitchen where you can sit and eat while you watch the dance of the chefs working in unison. ***If you are interested in reserving our dining counter please make a request while making a reservation since seating is very limited***

Such a beautiful restaurant with a wonderful staff, and consistently excellent food. I’ve been dining there for 25 years. The best Chinese chicken salad, delectable duck pancakes/crepes, crab cakes, vegetable rice, beef, and dessert! Our server Cheryl was superb!

Outstanding food and service. Bella, the manager always makes the night fun and the staff is fabulous. It was Halloween and Anita served us, dressed in a whacky combo geriatric childless cat lady outfit. She was a hoot. The food was next level, with our main dish being the Mongolian Lamb- fabulous. They had some wild entertainers and decorations. Chinois is the best!

Food was absolutely fantastic. Service was really poor. The kitchen got backed up due to a few large parties which led to inconsistent pace of food coming to the table. One entree got to the table and then 45 minutes passed before the remaining 2 entrees were brought out. It took us asking the wait staff multiple times what was going on before the manager came over. The wait wouldn't have been fine if anyone had just bothered to come to the table and explain what was happening.
