Kaojiu Restaurant

Beautiful restaurant with attentive and friendly staff and great food. Decor and menu details are thoughtfully done, with paintings of the dunhuang caves as the backdrop. Menus are scrolls. Their whisky cocktail has a stone Lion ice sculpture in it! Very thoughtful atmosphere. We ordered the lamb backbone hot pot and small was the right size for 3 along with grilled sides. Drinks are creatively named, but generally weak, which probably makes sense for the clientele. Staff were all quite friendly and were able to clearly explain the differences in dishes and make recommendations. We also stayed quite a while at closing and they were kind and good at communicating closing. For the experimental diners out there: they have a skewer called lamb treasure that is crunchy and well seasoned and surprisingly so good. You might be able to guess what part it is if you’re familiar with Chinese euphemisms. Fun to order and try as a group! They also have classics like aorta, chicken cartilage, all of which is beautifully seasoned and fun to eat! Will be back when in the area!

Not bad. Had lamb ribs and lamb skewers and beef skewers. Not spicy despite asking for spicier. Chives are a bit salty. Saw another table got the lamb rib hot pot, looks very good, probably will back for that.

Truly a stunning experience. I’m not sure what the negative reviews are about, I can see how if you come expecting top tier Chinese BBQ that the prices can seem high or the flavors redundant for what you get. But we ordered a variety of items and were really satisfied with the texture of the abalone and the smokey, subtly sweet flavor of the BBQ lamb ribs. And the COLD SKIN NOODLES - so phenomenal and flavorful. Highly recommend this version vs. the other preparations I’ve tried at Chinese restaurants…and I have had A LOT of cold skin noodles.

Went for lunch .Such a wonderful experience pleasant atmosphere,food was delicious,staff so kind. We had Jasmine tea loved the cast iron kettle and heating unit. Menus comes on beautiful rolls. The BBQ lamb box smelled,taste and looks amazing. Had the cauliflower and fried dumplings along with small order of Fried rice.

The store was really pretty. After making our reservation, we were seated very promptly and got complementary water. The food was okay but some dishes were a little salty. The waitress was really nice and served us with a smile on her face!
