This restaurant dedicated to contemporary Chinese cuisine boasts a modern design with a concrete ceiling and large wooden tables, all organized around the kitchen. Go for the Sichuan pork dumpling with hyperfine sauce, the small duck sandwich and the green beans with mushrooms. All washed down with a Mayacamas chardonnay, that'll do the trick... The house also boasts a more cosy VIP restaurant, a whisky lounge bar, a tea room and a boutique area where you can leave with tea, cookies and condiments.

Stopped by for date night and loved the experience at China Live. The dim sum peking duck sliders and chow mein reminded me how flavorful and diverse Chinese food can be. The sesame ice cream and shaved mango ice capped off a perfect evening. Sesame ice cream has a peanut butter or hazelnut like taste. The restaurant is loud, casual, and active; chefs make dishes at stations throughout the restaurant for all to watch. Dishes come family style, and we took home enough for another meal. You order by marking items on the menu. Be sure to read the tip/service fee explanation.

First time at China Live. Jorge was a fantastic server. We arrived at an odd time, but it was perfect. Great menu. Great service. The food was really good. Young Master, Jade Scorpion, Green Peppercorn Pilsner?!?!?! I want a six pack! China Live is definitely on my favorites list, now.

Coming from Vancouver we had to try this famous restaurant. We have VERY good Chinese food in Vancouver and my expectations were high for China Live.
The server Raffi was amazing and friendly and helped us pick 6 courses for 3 people.
The food was just ok - we have been blessed by better dumplings etc at home - but the over all experience was just lovely.
We need an elevated dining experience like this back home, with our food.
The mango shaved ice was amazing though.

The food was amazing but the service was even better. I adored our waiter, Rafi. He gave great suggestions and seemed to really enjoy working there.
Visiting from DC but we would be regulars at this location if we lived locally. Delicious and delightful.
