Worth the Search: Chinese Fusion at Yue Restaurant

The entrance to this modern, industrial-chic restaurant may be hard to find, but if you and your friends are looking to try some traditional and not-so-traditional Chinese dishes, it might be worth the search. Yue serves Chinese-based fusion cuisine, ranging from standard Sichuan and Hunan-style dishes such as hot and sour chicken feet (deboned) and Chinese yams with blueberries, to reinvented classics such as wasabi-infused “miracle” shrimp balls.

Yue’s almost invisible doorway leads to a two-story restaurant and bar, decorated in sandy stone and golden and black accents. The dining room is big and airy, and a good choice for dinners with groups of four to ten people.

Signature Dishes: Braised Mushroom with Goose Liver (RMB 88), Chicken Gristle with Tea Flavor (RMB 48), Crystal Shrimp with Sweet Sauce (RMB 88)

Perfect for: Exploring traditional Chinese with an adventurous edge.
