Bar Chinois offers outstanding food and service, with incredible deals during happy hour. The ambiance is aesthetically pleasing, and the staff is exceptionally friendly and attentive. Customers have praised the service, highlighting the positive attitude of servers even during busy times. The happy hour dumplings are tasty, featuring good fillings that are well-fried or steamed, although some may be a little understuffed and doughy. The cocktails are really good, especially the half-price happy hour options. The mousse a la peche remains a standout, with a super tasty foam and just the right peach flavor.
The unlimited food and drink options during happy hour are a great value, and the server ensures that glasses are never empty. The menu includes outstanding small plates and mains, with recommendations for the gyoza de boeuf and the rangoon. While the noise level can reach dangerous levels, making conversation difficult, the restaurant continues to deliver great value and is highly recommended for groups of friends or larger parties. Customers appreciate the accommodating staff, especially when managing large groups and dietary restrictions.
