A hanging picture on the wall boasts of the restaurant's most famous client, former President George Bush. In addition, the staff will inform the visitor that in the 1960s and '70s this restaurant was a favorite of many Hollywood personalities. Dim lighting reflects off the authentic Chinese antiques that line the walls. The atmosphere is cozy and the restaurant is quiet enough for intimate conversation. The clientele is mostly tourists and a few locals who have been patronizing the restaurant for years. Entrees include such wonderful items as Minced Squab on Lettuce Leaf, as well as a host of other exquisite gourmet Chinese dishes. In addition, the restaurant has a full bar and serves a range of beers and California wines.
