The chef's culinary prowess is superbly shown in the restaurant Chef Guo's 19-course tasting menu. The recipes are memorable because of their fresh ingredients and complex, multi-layered tastes. The personnel at the restaurant is also very professional and polite, and they provide superb service as well.

The servers, clothed in vintage imperial robes, treated us like kingly courtiers, presenting each exquisite dish with courtesy and grace. Our feeling of luxury was enhanced by their polite welcomes. We made treasured memories at Chef Guo as we celebrated our romantic and memorable anniversary this year.

When I first heard about this place through Instagram, I was extremely excited that someone was trying to highlight Royal Chinese cuisines. So, my husband booked it for my birthday. We prepaid (nonrefundable) through Chase Dining (10x points) but unfortunately my husband got sick the week of the reservation. Luckily, they were kind enough to let us reschedule to a later date. The decor was really nice. Aside from me and my husband, there was only one other couple. That gave it a semi-private the experience. They had two servers and one of them seem new. They were stuttering and nervous when trying to explain the cuisine and it's history. Overall, The food was okay. It was more of western-Chinese food, leaning more on the western side. The lobster tail and sea bass was good, but nothing wow-ed me. The mini meatball in the hot pot dish tasted like IKEA meatballs but drier. I don't think it's worth $700 after taxes and tip for two people. They gave us two free gifts; one when we entered and another we we left - scarf with Chef Guo on it and tea grown from his tea farm(?). They also had the chef sign the menus for us to take home. I would have preferred if they served more authentic Chinese dishes and dessert. This will only be a one time experience for me.

I went for my birthday and it was a once in a lifetime experience I will always cherish! Chef Guo's restaurant is a culinary masterpiece that offers a delightful journey through 19 expertly crafted courses. Each dish showcases the genius of the celebrity chef's unique culinary system, creating a symphony of flavors that captivates the senses. The intimate and ornate atmosphere adds to the charm, creating a dining experience that feels both exclusive and sophisticated.The staff goes above and beyond to make every guest feel special, creating a welcoming and personalized experience. The presence of the celebrity chef working diligently in the kitchen, adds an extra layer of warmth and exclusivity.From the first course to the last, the attention to detail in both presentation and taste is impeccable. The fusion of ingredients and the innovative culinary techniques result in a gastronomic adventure that is nothing short of extraordinary. You can taste his passion and experience with every bite! It was a memorable night I will hold dear!

All I have to say is: check out their website lol.Best of luck if you do decide to experience it for yourself. For $300/head, you do get to feel like you're in the twilight zone.Felt really bad for the waitresses, who were really sweet. I just assume the business is still open because of some kind of nefarious activities and... yeah lmao. Honestly comical and might be the worst food I've ever eaten in my entire life.

First impression when you walk in is you've been transported into a different era of China. There was very limited seating, a table for 4 and 2. We ended up being the only table that was dining that night, and we received excellent service. This place served up a once-in-a-lifetime dining experience. Never had such a fancy Chinese dining experience and never had most of these dishes before either. It's incredibly impressive that Chef Guo himself serves up all these different dishes. It was a truly wonderful experience. My absolute favorite dish was the abalone seafood soup. Never tasted such depth in a seafood soup and was truly blown away.
