Since 1983, this Fairfax District staple founded by music producer Allan Rinde has delighted Angelenos with NYC-style Chinese food, live tunes, and so-called “Foo Foo” drinks - think Szechuan margaritas with yuzu, thai basil, and green chile, and lychee martinis with coconut oil infused vodka, to name just a couple. The main dining room is awash in red and black, with paper lanterns hanging from the ceiling, plush leather booths, and marble lazy Susans for easy family-style feasting. The adjacent banquet hall accommodates 50 seated.
