Empress of China Cocktail Lounge

Editorial Review

Lost in Translation meets suburban Holiday Inn. A once glamorous and chic spot in touristy Chinatown now a bit of a faded plum blossom. Seldom what you’d call a scene, but don’t let that stop you. Impressive cineaste-worthy views. Meet friends for the first drink of the night, or wander into roof-garden restaurant for pleasantly doughy Empress of China pot stickers. Kitsch factor and view a solid 8.
