Dim sum 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 14-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 Burbon and Fernet Michaud from Portland, ME

Note: Table reservation durations: 1,5 hours for parties of two, 2hours for parties of 4 or more. Walk-in seats are available at the bar.

    We had the best dinner again at Lucky Cheetah with friends last night! The flavors, the spiciness of the dishes and decor, the atmosphere & customer service were all over the top, just as always! My group was “roaring” with delight! Can’t wait to go back! ☘️🐆

    If you're on the hunt for a culinary treasure trove, look no further than this gem of a restaurant! The dumplings here are nothing short of exquisite, bursting with flavor in every bite. The experience is made even more delightful by Stefan, our server, who was both friendly and professional, adding a personal touch to our meal. With such impeccable service and scrumptious food, I would highly recommend this place to anyone seeking a memorable dining experience.
