"Blue Whale in Cow Hollow comes from chef Ho Chee Boon, the culinary mind behind Chinatown’s stunning Empress by Boon. This is a more casual spinoff, however, a restaurant that serves a seasonal menu of pan-Asian dishes such as rojak, a kind of fruit salad with spicy peanut dressing and crab meat xiao long bao. There’s a full cocktail menu, plus an open-air courtyard, two bars, a private lounge, and comfortable booths for group dining." - Lauren Saria
