Chinois On Main
- Asian Fusion
- Santa Monica, CA
About this business
Another of Wolfgang Puck's sensational creations, this Asian/French restaurant has been a hit from the time the doors first opened. Every table is filled for dinner and no one goes away unhappy. The decor is as loud as the noise level but the food's so good you won't mind. Try the Catfish, the Mongolian Lamb Chops and the Rare Duck with Plum Sauce-they're truly incredible. Reservations are a must, unless you're Julia Roberts.

OK food, overpriced, PLASTIC WINE GLASSES - just go to P.F. Chang – I took a friend here about 2 weeks ago, and was underwhelmed to say the least. The food was good, but not worth the price. We had the pineapple glazed quail, which was excellent, and the salmon, which was dry and tasteless. The fried asparagus was just ok, as was the fried rice. The service was average - I've had better and I've had worse at restaurants of this caliber. For two people with entrees, one glass of wine each, and dessert, we spent about $175. Th... read more
Great Asian-French Fusion! We had a Christmas dinner function here and were fortunate enough to dine in their other room (separate location). So we basically had the room all to ourselves. It's nice and cozy in there. Great wine selection. The kitchen opens up to the dining area, so you can have a wiff of what's to come. Great food. Great service!
Exspensive average food – My wife and I were anticipating an extraordinary meal for our lunch and one of Mr. Puck's eateries and were let down, maybe our expectations were to high. I had anticipated eating at one LA's great restraunts all week long as we were winding down our vacation in the LA area. We chose Wolfgang's place based on name only. We had the fried soft shell crab and sichuan grilled beef dish. The soft shell crab looked and tasted good but thats all there was to the dish, no vegetables, no rice, just two crabs... read more
Wow ! Everytime! – So everyone has different levels of expectations. I will be the first to say that when i go out to eat, i want to be wowed. Weather i am at Urth cafe, Chaya, or Chinois on Main, I want my food to be awesome! I understand that when you are at a nice restaurant you want everything to be perfect, truth is, servers have bad days too, just like I do. Everytime i go to Chinois, everything is amazing. Yeah it is loud, yeah it is busy, sometimes it takes longer than others.......welcome to life! I am and will alwa... read more
Chinois Chinois on Main, one of Wolfgang Puck's restaurants is the home of the Chinese Chicken Salad. They have good service and delicious food that combines Chinese and French influences.
Awful! – Being a Wolfgang Puck owned restaurant you would think the food would be high quality. Not at Chinois! I have been to many restaurants owned by WGP and all have exceeded my expectations! My Husband and I went to Chinois one Thurs night as a spare of the moment decision. We were seated immediately which was great and I must admit the actual restaurant has a great atmosphere. The server was pleasant and seemed to know the menu; however, that is where the positives end...... I ordered the "famous" chicken salad and my ... read more
Wolfgang Puck expertly fuses global cuisines amid life-size ostrich sculptures. – The Scene A shockingly no-holds-barred assault of the garish. Liberace showed more restraint in choosing costumes than did interior designer Barbara Lazaroff (Puck's wife) when decorating the Chinois dining room. There's simply so much to the design that it's impossible for any elements to seem congruent--not the '80s cocaine art paintings, nor the life-size ostrich sculptures that loom like hungry zoo animals between tables. The Food The culin... read more
SUPERB FOOD!!! – Superb food and service. The atomsphere is pleasant and the tables are close to one another so you may get the opportunity to know your neighbors! The catfish is not to be missed. The vegetarian dishes are tantilizing to your taste buds!!! Not to be missed!!!
one of the few restaurants i will always be willing to go to – There have been many occasions when I've canceled previous plans in order to eat at this restaurant. The decor is a bit over the top mid 90s design style, but fun. The food is awe-inspiring. One of the times I went with family and business colleagues, we ordered the foie gras about 3 times because people couldn't get enough. The last visit, I had the lamb. From a bad experience at another restaurant in vegas, this made up for it. Of course, the price makes up for... read more
