Taking its name from Chinatown’s first fine dining restaurant, Chinese Tuxedo features a menu of reimagined traditional Chinese banquet dishes by renowned Executive Chef, Paul Donnelly. For drinks, there are inventive cocktails, a dynamic wine list, and a selection of Chinese and American craft beers. The bi-level space was once the Chinese Theater (also known as the Chinese Opera House). In its heyday, the Chinese Theater was an important social gathering place for the community. Owners Jeff Lam and Edward Buckingham restored the venue retaining historical details such as the original pillars and stripped-down walls, while adding mid-century touches and modern art. Today, Chinese Tuxedo re-establishes the social gathering place with a modern Chinese Restaurant.
