China Live, Eater's "Restaurant of the Year," features fresh, seasonal Chinese cuisine cooked from specialized stations that merge traditional Chinese and Western culinary equipment. Our main dining area, with views of our exhibition kitchens, plays centerpiece, appointed with chairs and tables all handcrafted in China from reclaimed Chinese elm. We also offer outside dining.
“The food was delicious. We had a reservation so we didn't have to wait. Our waiter was great, our food came quickly. To be honest, we had trouble deciding. We chose 3 small bite plates, thinking we'd order an entree to share but we were full before we were finished. The entrees we saw leaving the kitchen all looked wonderful and the portions were large. The Bao buns and spring rolls were our favorite. I wish we had been able to try more. Definitely a yes!”
“We came here on Sunday evening, and the restaurant was relatively full. The food was great. We enjoyed the roasted duck with the sesame bread, the pan fried baos and the thousand years eggs. Look forward to coming back and trying more dishes one day!”
“Fun spot to go with a group and sample all the fun food options on the menu. I loved the soup dumplings and the bao, oh and the green beans were great too! It can get a bit noisy, in case you’re looking for something quiet this is not your spot. Come here and get your hipster vibe on!”
“I've eaten here twice, once as takeout and once at a meeting. For the meeting dinner, everything tasted great but the waiters kept all the leftover food in the back even though i requested they be packed so we could bring back to the other coworkers or home. By the end of the evening several pretended they had no idea where it went and after some insisting, i got the bbq pork buns and minced chicken to take home. Pretty sure those waiters took the food home. We never touched it, it was banquet style. So I'm sure they wanted it for themselves. Delivery food was very salty. Shanghai chow mein and minced chicken were so salty they were inedible. Total waste. Kung pao was ok but not as tender as described. Tamarind ribs had good flavor but some pieces were tough. To be honest, harbor view was also pretty bad so i think right now the Chinese restaurants are just lacking. Luckily door dash saved the day and i got refunds for two items.”
“Extensive menu with options for everyone! The food good but not the best Chinese I’ve ever had, and certainly not authentic. Service was solid. The place was incredibly loud but you could still hold a conversation. It was fine but I probably wouldn’t return considering there are so many restaurants in the vicinity.”
