We absolutely loved Choy--the service was very attentive, and the menu options were so fantastic that it was hard to choose what to get because we wanted to try everything! The sourdough scallion pancake with caviar, white truffle crab fried rice and char siu pork chow fun were absolutely delicious. Highly recommend!!!

Extraordinary in the very best way. Each course a single (or maybe two) bite of wonder. The only bobble we had was a misstep re a dairy request which was quickly offered a redo. Perfect service, nice wine list, intimate setting where conversation is possible. A unique experience that we can’t wait to try again.

The 7 course tasting menu was excellent. Since it was a Monday night I got to sit at one of six seats overlooking the line. The chef plated, presented and described each course. It was a true delight.
