About

Bar Chinois pairs Chinese small plates and dim sum with a cocktail-bar setting; vegan-friendly choices include garlic chives gao, roasted mushroom salad, Brussels sprouts, and spicy eggplant, with some dishes requiring preparation adjustments. Reviews praise the polished plating, attentive staff, and happy-hour dumpling and cocktail deals, though one lunch review notes slow service during the two-hour bottomless dim sum and tight seating.
