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, though one server was rushing. The happy hour dumplings are tasty, and favorite dishes include the Chili Karaage and the 1970s Garlic Noodles. The cocktails are really good, especially the half-price happy hour options. The mousse a la peche remains a standout.
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 be a little loud, making it hard to talk, the restaurant has a lively crowd and delivers great value for your money. It is highly recommended for groups of friends or larger parties. Customers appreciate the accommodating staff, though some feel the staff's branded tee shirts look a little cheap for a cool date spot.
