About this restaurant

  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Good for special occasions
  • Hot spot
Dumpling enthusiasts and champagne lovers alike can indulge in in the elevated, yet unpretentious fine-dining experience offered in this sexy, and intimate underground hideaway. The menu honors Cantonese classics with dishes like Xiaolongbao and Char Siu Bao, while creative offerings such as Foie Gras Blackberry Dumplings with Brown Butter Miso Crumb showcase culinary innovation in this celebration of Chinese American fare. A deep champagne and wine list complements the menu, and at the 11-seat Pink Italian Stone bar, classic cocktails are shaken up with unique spice combinations and Asian-produced liquors, like a Manhattan riff “Doyer’s Street” made with Chinese five-spice infused Bourbon and Fernet Michaud from Portland, ME

Note: Table reservation durations: 1.5 hours for parties of two, 2 hours for parties of 4 or more. Walk-in seats are available at the bar.

    We recently had an absolutely perfect experience at the new **Lucky Cheetah**! From the moment we walked in, the hostess was welcoming and attentive. The house cocktails were excellent, but the bartender, **Eddie**, truly impressed us. He made me a delicious Aviation, and when my husband asked for a bartender's choice, Eddie knocked it out of the park with a fantastic Gin Old Fashioned! The food exceeded all our expectations, and the service was top-notch. You could tell they paid immaculate attention to every detail. We even had the pleasure of meeting one of the owners, who was super down-to-earth and willing to do any job in the restaurant. Cheers to Lucky Cheetah for such a wonderful evening!"

    The ambiance and service are awesome- but not a place for a quiet, intimate dinner necessarily. The food was good, but very oil-heavy/fried. The wagyu beef eggrolls were very oily and the actual flavor was lacking. Our server was excellent and attentive. Cocktail list is creative and delicious. We wanted to love the food but left feeling it was underwhelming. Good creative dishes, but could use some tweaking to be better executed.

    Everything about Lucky Cheetah was awesome! They crushed a busy Friday night. Some things were slow (we didn’t notice) but our server was great! We’ll be back soon.

    Everything was delicious - we ordered many small plates for our table. Crab and lobster lucky bags, wagyu egg rolls, lobster dumplings, and scallion pancakes were our favorites. Drinks, service and ambiance also outstanding. And the best playlist I’ve heard at a restaurant in while really added to the experience, and it wasn’t too loud we could chat easily.. Highly recommend for a night out!

    The menu is so exciting but the flavors are just off. The fried rice tasted like someone poured liquid smoke over it. The char sui buns tasted like perfume. It was just OFF. The lobster bags were delicious though.

    Iberico Pork Soup Dumplings brought the heat. Mojo Corn? Sweet, smoky, and low-key addictive. Shanghai Short Ribs? Melt-in-your-mouth magic. Mushroom & Truffle Dumplings delivered rich, earthy indulgence. Scallion Pancakes came through crispy and golden, dunked in chive dipping sauce. But the real star? Your own personal dipping tray — featuring dumpling sauce, chili oil, and a duck sauce laced with apricot + apple. Obsessed is an understatement. Lobstahh Dumplings and Crab & Lobster Lucky Bags sealed the deal. Zhou Chicken wrapped it up with sweet, sesame-spiked perfection.
