Editorial Review

Behind the flashy, buzzing façade of this old-school Chinese restaurant lies a gorgeous crimson interior lined with Asian prints and an aura of luxe exclusivity. Politicians, famous hockey players and other in-the-know cats frequent House of Chan for its steaks, lobster and Cantonese cuisine. Glam guests gab in 1950s-era red leather booths, while waiters clad in black aprons and bow ties serve steaming plates of soft-shell crab, Alaskan king crab legs, filet mignon Oriental and other artfully arranged dishes. A private room, equally stunning, seats 50. Mains $14.95–$58.50.
