It’s something we’ve thought a lot about after our recent dinners at Chinois On Main, Wolfgang Puck’s vestigial Santa Monica restaurant.

I don’t know if it was because I went with very high expectations, it was an experience that I was sadly not satisfied with. First of all, we were far from such an experience, considering that a restaurant with Michelin explains its dishes to its customers. We persistently asked ourselves what we would eat and how we would eat it. There was no narration. The presentation part was also poor unfortunately. There was nothing that surprised me in terms of taste. Was it bad, it wasn’t. Was it good or not. The fusion side was successful. The capacity of the restaurant was tried to be fully utilized so it was very noisy. Tables were very close to each other. As an entry, we tried Tempura Ahi Tuna Sashimi. This was my favorite dish. We tried Sizzling Calamari and Rock Shrimp Salad as a salad. Its presentation was successful but tasteless. We had Shanghai Lobster as main course. Lobster was delicious. The rice was also good but the spinach was really greasy and not crunchy. It was a place I would not choose again. How did you find it when you left the restaurant and no one even said goodbye 🙂

Restaurant seems to be frozen in time since the year 2000. The interior and exterior retain their vintage charm and the menu features simple dishes made with quality ingredients.

I was here while Wolfgang puck came to visit. Which was also really cool. But the food was amazing. So were the drinks + the atmosphere. Such a great experience. Highly recommend.

Chinois is a neighborhood institution for those of us in the Ocean Park area of Santa Monica. The food is exquisite. I’ve never had anything bad. The staff is exceptional. They are the kind of people that they teach customer experience courses about. Where else are you going to go for French/Chinese fusion?

I love Chinois On Main! This place is trendy, immaculately located at the heart of Santa Monica, and the food is authentic yet elevated. It’s great for celebrating birthday and/or date night out with your loved ones. The drinks are neat, but my absolute favorite item on the menu is the Shanghai lobster and the catfish! Incredible flavors, perfectly seasoned, gorgeous presentation and well-balanced. I’m so pleased with this dish, as well as the desserts. The staff are kind, polite and efficient. It was a delightful dinner and I will definitely come back for Shanghai lobster the sauce is sublime, crispy spinach is fantastic. An extraordinary Chinese cuisine that has met globally recognized fine dining standards, totally worth the trip!

This Asian-French fusion restaurant is one I’ve been wanting to come to for years and it was worth the wait! Amazing service. Still closed indoors but they made a cozy out door area with live music. I went on a Thursday. Fun area to be in overall. We order the soup that was Devine. The catfish was perfect with a little squeeze of like and we got 2 sides. Veggies and stir fried rice. I was in food heaven! There servings are all shareable sizes if you like to share with someone on a date. Perfect spot for a cute date. LARGE wine selection and cocktails were yummy.

Great food! Super old school decor. Could use an update. It felt like you were in a time warp back in the 90s or something. The food was really great though! Definitely worth a go. It used to be packed with celebs back in the day.

We shared the short ribs, salmon, sea bass with crispy spinach and potstickers and were blown away with the flavor of everything but not overwhelming flavors, just subtle and quite surprising. Also, the server, manger and owner were so friendly, warm, accommodating but not arrogant. We had a great experience. Thank you
