Experience

The wok station marries European and Chinese flair, equipped with a state-of-the art Hestan range on one side and on the other, an extensive custom-designed wok line by Joe Yick, a San Franciscan third-generation family business. The charcuterie station houses a deep wood-fired oven similar in concept to a pizza oven, except classic roast duck and chicken is the bill of fare here.

Indoor & outside dining, delivery & pick-up nightly.

Perfect For Occasions

The main dining hall at China Live is an excellent choice for special events like birthdays and other celebrations. The lively atmosphere and variety of cuisines mean that there’s something for everyone, no matter their taste preferences. Plus, the open concept of the dining hall allows for a more communal dining experience, perfect for bringing people together and fostering a sense of togetherness and celebration.

Traditional Meets Modern

Another exciting fixture to see here is a Chinese earthen oven, very similar to an Indian tandoor, a three-foot tall vessel resembling an oversized vase, which maintains low heat over charcoal fire for a long length of time, perfect for low and slow roasting pork. And nothing screams Chinese cuisine more than dumplings. This station, the centerpiece of the restaurant, features massive cast iron pans for cooking pot stickers, and all manner of steamed and pan-fried dumplings. Finally, a dessert bar to satisfy sweet-tooth cravings.
