China Live
People often describe China Live’s massive dining room as “bustling,” but, during peak hours, the energy can honestly tip over into the plain chaotic. Still, for those who don’t mind raising their voice to be heard by their dining companions, the modern Chinese food is worth it. The space has a mix of seating, including bar spots at the exhibition-style cooking stations (fun if you enjoy watching the action), and communal and individual tables (make a reservation for the latter). The go-to favorites are the char siu barbecue pork dutch crunch baked buns, the sichuan blistered green beans and the peking duck in kumquat glaze.
