Asian Cuisine
Chinois on Main is the second restaurant opened by Wolfgang Puck and has been at the top of the list since its start in 1983. They are considered the inventors of Asian fusion cuisine, where they combine Chinese tradition and fresh California ingredients with contemporary French techniques. Classic menu items include Shanghai lobster with curry sauce and crispy spinach, Whole Sizzling Catfish and Szechuan Beef. The famed Chinois Chicken Salad is one of Puck’s truly inspired inventions, a dish that numerous people have tried to imitate but have been unsuccessful. The food is served family style, creating a fun sharing experience that brings people together. Chinois remains a culinary landmark, with its timeless interior design by Barbara Lazaroff, open kitchen, full-service bar, and extensive wine list.
