What Thomas H likes about China Blue:
The decor was comfortable, inviting, and relaxing. The food was fantastic and authentic. The drinks that we had were excellent. We tried the Shanghai shumai, the eel wuxi style, dongpo pork, lions head meatballs, and lotus with glutinous sweet rice. Everything we had was delicious (especially the incredibly tender and moist meat ball). I would 100% go back for the drinks, ambience, and food. View all feedback.

read moreChina Blue is a rare upscale Chinese restaurant located in NYC, offering a blend of forgotten Shanghai charm and vibrant New York energy. The decor is reminiscent of the 1930s and 40s, with vintage typewriters and old lamps creating a unique ambience. The menu features authentic Shanghainese cuisine, with dishes like the Shanghai shumai and eel wuxi style receiving high praise for their fantastic flavors. The salted egg yolk-covered fish is highlighted as a particularly delicious item. While the dim sum selection is limited and made-to-order, the pan-fried pork dumplings stand out as a must-try dish. The interior is well-decorated, the service is friendly, and the full bar offers a variety of cocktails and drinks. Despite a few misses with certain dishes, China Blue is highly recommended for its delicious food, inviting atmosphere, and overall great dining experience.
Very authentic chinese food here with no tip (which is about to change starting 12/4/17) it was strange that they told us there was rez and all tables are
As first timers we got the smoked carp suzhou style, the pork rib wuxi style and the kaofuThe kaofu and the pork rib are ok.
What a difference a second visit makes.
