The Best New Restaurants in Los Angeles According to Eater Editors, July 2025 | Eater LA

"88 Club marks chef Mei Lin’s return to fine dining after the closure of her acclaimed restaurant Nightshade in 2020. While Los Angeles has still been able to enjoy Lin’s cooking at her Silver Lake fried chicken restaurant Daybird, 88 Club offers a wider framing of her exceptional talent and creativity, expressed in dishes like a prawn toast with dollops of sweet and sour sauce and hot mustard aioli. The menu is influenced by Lin’s experiences growing up in Dearborn and her travels through Hong Kong and Vancouver, weaving its way through dishes like Singaporean chow mein, kung pao scallops, and more. The Art Deco-like interior is dressed in sumptuous greens, contrasted by black-and-white checkered floors and a bar the color of capicola. Book a table on Resy. — Rebecca Roland, editor, Eater Southern California/Southwest" - Matthew Kang

Went to one of best Chinese restaurants in Beverly Hills with one of the homies. The restaurant was nicely decorated and feels really elevated and chill at the same time. Everything was great. I had a dish from every category. From the pawn toast, singaporean chow mein, shitake mushrooms, wontons, sweet & sour fish, char siu and for dessert the jasmine milk tea buns. I don't drink but the bar is very nice with a big selection of cocktails, wines and tea. Everything was great! Got to try the steak and other many dishes next time. The service was A1 from the hostess to the waiters. They were really attentive and knowledgeable. Can't for their hot chili oil. It was to die for, so don't forget to ask for that to elevate your dishes. Another Banger from Chef Mei Lin. Be prepared to spend some money, this isn't your average Chinese establishment. It was worth every penny. Will definitely be coming back for future special occasions or just eat with the fam and friends. A++

Having been a big fan of Mei Lin ever since her Top Chef days, and after being so heartbroken that Nightshade closed, I was beyond excited to hear about her new venture, 88 Club. However, my experience on 4/3/25 left me and my party of 4 disappointed. Perhaps we will revisit when things start to run more smoothly, with time and continued staff training. SERVICE/AMBIANCE: 2/5 We had a reservation, but still waited awkwardly in the doorway (no other place we were told to wait) for at least a few minutes, blocking other patrons from entering. The host was completely zoned out and gestured vaguely after a few minutes, and as we started walking towards the table, we realized he was talking to another party. Some communication would have been nice, and maybe he could have had us wait in the adjacent (empty!) bar/lounge area until our table was ready? We sat down at the table for at least 15 minutes before anyone even asked us about water or drinks. This entire time we had a clear view of the host, who was still spaced out and staring into the distance. FOOD: 4/5 The "Singaporean chow mein" was a complete let down, maybe because it was a vegan version? This is a common dish in any Cantonese restaurant, and anyone who's been to the SGV would be familiar with it. However, this version was lacking wok hei and lacking the egg and char siu that provides this dish its punch of flavor. This one fell flat for sure, and I wish we were given a heads up that this was a vegan dish and probably very different from what we're used to. Mapo tofu was overwhelmingly salty and probably meant to be eaten with rice, but no one suggested adding any rice or explained how it was meant to be eaten. It is clear the servers do not have any context or knowledge about this dish or the Singaporean dish as explained above. This is disappointing for those of us that grew up eating these dishes. Successful dishes included the prawn toast, the XO rice cakes, the 3 cup maitake, the mango sago and almond pudding desserts. However a simple question about the ingredients in the almond pudding clearly left the waiter fumbling and flustered - more training and learning is desperately needed for this restaurant to reach its full potential. OVERALL: 3/5 I would love to give 88 Club another try once it's gotten its act together, because the dishes and concepts are inventive, but the service and knowledge of its staff is completely lacking. Hope to be back soon!

Being a restaurateur myself I can say this place nails it. At 88 Club, culinary magic meets the rhythm of old-school hip hop and R&B, creating an unforgettable dining experience. The food is nothing short of extraordinary, it’s vibrant, it’s eclectic the menu that reimagines classic dishes with a modern twist!! We Savored into the innovative shrimp toast, delighted in the fresh mung bean noodle dish, and we relished into the refreshing chrysanthemum salad. The succulent scallops, paired with their signature homemade chili oil, it elevated each bite. Wish we were able to buy a bottle and take it home with us chef Mei crushed it. And don’t miss their decadent desserts that perfectly round off your meal at the end the crispy buns!!! Damn I had to come back a few hours later to grab it to go. At 88 Club, its a celebration of flavor and culture

88 Club offers modern fresh Chinese food in Beverly Hills. We visited on the second night after opening so I understand there will be some room for improvement but the experience was just not great. The food was thankfully the best part each dish was well prepared and fresh. It's not traditional Chinese food but it's enjoyable. The plating was sometimes odd with several dishes piled high with cilantro that seemed out of place but I didn't feel any of the dishes were bad. There wasn't anything special or imaginative outside of the cocktails. Unfortunately the service and pacing were very off. Time between each course was too long and at one point we received our main dish without sides and that took another 10-15 minutes. The format and timing doesn't make sense for a restaurant that emphasizes shared dishes. Staff were not very friendly and despite a very high staff to table ratio they never really felt present or attentive Overall the experience was disappointing especially for the price and even for a newly opened restaurant I don't think there's any reason I'd want to try again.

Elevated Chinese food rooted in traditional flavors, 88 Club is a much needed addition to the area. The space has a gorgeous rose colored bar accompanied by an intimate dining room. Ever dish by Chef Mei Lin is thoughtful and delicious. I cannot wait to return.

We had a wonderful evening at this beautiful restaurant! The service was great with attentive and professional servers and manager. Food is scrumptious bringing out the traditional flavors with a twist of chef Mei's magic! The dessert mango pomelo sago is the best I’ve ever tasted! Highly recommend and will definitely come again, soon.

MEI LIN HAS SOME HIGHLIGHTS, BUT OVERCHARGES FOR DINNER IN THE DARK - AND THE RICE! Went to 88 Club for pre-Mother's Day dinner and found it to be good, not quite Top Chef/Iron Chef worthy, but there were some standouts, and it's very dark. PROS: Space is small and compact, not a lot of tables, so good, it's quiet and tight, but in a good way. Bar is very small and not good unless you are moving from there to dinner. Got a nice corner booth table - put 3 people on it and it was perfect. Service was good - attentive and on time to grab used dishes with limited space on the table. Food Highlights: Prawn and Bamboo Shot Wontons - best of the night. It's like a great asian chicken soup. Addictive broth. Get it! Cha Siu - a great Char Siu dish and the chinese mustard it the item that pulls it all together well. Fish Fragrant Eggplant - nice litte eggplant dish with schezwan peppers that sneak up on you. Hiramasa Crudo - tangerine dream fish dish. Very refreshing. CONS: No Valet - good luck with parking Space: It's dark, very very dark. Really dark. Expensive: See bill - dinner for 3 with one drink was $370 + $60 tip + $430. Damn. Food Cons: Nam You Chicken - good, but very hard to eat. Sauce and chicken is nice and additional add on sauce is good touch. They don't provide knives and this is a half of a chicken. Legs and wings are included - good luck not using you hands. Sesame Prawn Toast - everyone loves this, as it looks good, but it's not that tasty and as good as other dishes. Steamed Rice - just ok (and you need rice for these dishes) and they charge for it - $6 each. I guess elevated asian dining has no limits Mango Coconut Sago - someone figured out how to do dipping dots in mango and pomelo. Fun desert - looks better than it tastes. Overall a few good hits on the food in a very dark space and one that will hit your wallet. Worth a try once - let's see how this expands over time of it it will just be another overpriced Bev Hills spot.

What a great surprise! Exerting about our dinner was Beyond A+. First - ALL the people were super well trained and delightful - 100\% OG the team gets an A+. Ambience cozy - but just enough energy to make it fun. Ok - the food, ridiculous. I’d call it a mix between tradition and a modern elegant take Asian. Chow Mein, Egg Rolls, Jidori Chicken, Bok Choy (best ever) - were all perfect - nor overly not under seasoned …. Just right. 5 Star / A.+ in every category - we’ll be back soon!

Food pretty good. Nice vibe. Had reservation and sat 20 min late. Only one bathroom, had to wait 20 min.

As of mid 2025 this is a new Chinese restaurant from Chef Mei Lin and co. Service style is classic family style with an elevated feel from the ingredients/flavors/ techniques to the level of service here. The space is darker with an intimate vibe. This place works great for a nice night out or meeting up with a group of friends to experience delicious elevated Chinese food. The cocktails were tasty as well. Came here as a part of a group of six people, so we got to order a good amount and share a lot of the dishes. The place isn't cheap, but with a good sized group, it didn't feel like a bad deal either, especially for the quality and service. What we ordered: - Chrysanthemum Salad - a nice refreshing salad with a more solid texture as far as salads go - Sesame Prawn Toast - so tasty. I think this is a must if you like prawns and serves as a great appetizer. - Prawn & Bamboo Shoot Wontons - delicious dumplings. - Charred Hot & Sour Cabbage - Mapo Tofu - has that slight numbing spice effect, but not overly spicy. I'm a fan. - Sweet & Sour Fish - there was a little pomp and circumstance when served (they pour over the sauce in front of you. Fun!) - Kung Pao Scallops - Cha Siu Iberico Pork served with hot mustard - nice familiar flavors - Fish Fragrant Eggplant - Nam Yu Roasted Chicken served with a scallion ginger sauce - Jasmine Milk Tea Custard Bun Honestly, I was just a huge fan of our entire meal and thought that we ordered really well. Parking: I think we all were able to find parking within a 2-3 block radius. There's quite a bit of metered parking in the area and if I recall, the limit ends around dinner time (so you just have to pay up until they stop enforcing)

We had an amazing experience at 88 Club. The restaurant embodies a members only ambiance, with a swanky cocktail bar. The restaurant has very limited tables/seating, so it's really important you make a reservation. The service was impeccable. Our waiter was trained very adequately on the entire menu, different food palettes, cocktail pairings etc. Some recommendations are: sesame prawn toast, mung bean noodles, the chicken and pork dishes! This is a really good take on Chinese fine dining.

88 Club may look unassuming from the outside, but inside it's a moody and expansive space. Open for just two weeks, chef Mei Lin already establishes a confident menu rooted in classic Chinese flavors. Every dish we ordered was excellent: the chrysanthemum salad was nutty and flavorful, the hiramasa crudo + garlic chives was fresh and bright, and the Iberico pork char siu was definitely a standout (though price is on the steep side). The only miss was the fried rice, which felt a bit neutral compared to the rest of the menu. For dessert, we had the mango sago and the jasmine tea custard bun - a perfect finish to our meal. You can tell 88 Club isn't trying to reinvent the wheel -- it's about honest, well-executed food that comes from real experience. Can't wait to come back to try the rest of the menu!

Up for a modest challenge? Find a parking spot. (Public parking behind the resto). I used a phone app to pay. It was easier getting an audience with King Trump in the Offal Office. The restaurant is positively gorgeous and you'll agree as soon as your cat eyes adjust to the dark. Muted soft greens and teal tones will channel your months in the womb. (Its a womb with a chew). Think a mini Providence. "Hey Mom, they shrunk my fave resto." There is a six seat Bar which anchors the dining room and small two tops line the walls giving it an Orient Express dining car feel. The decor is elegant, sophisticated in a retro style. The Chinese elite would be regulars here before WW2. So, iron your Cheongsam and be a regular now. 88 is a lucky number in Chinese culture. This place will soon be so hot you'll be lucky to snag a table. The distant throb of a sensible loop adds to the hip vibe without being intrusive. The Staff: The Hostee was as sweet as Milk Tea and she will greet and seat you quickly. The Servers would be at home in service to The Emperor without being obsequious sycophants. Austin was a polished expert in genuine hospitality. Humorous and helpful. Can't decide, sit back, hand the menu to Austin and let him curate a magnificent meal for you. The Bar: Full of promise. Signature cocktails that aren't full of themselves. No Periodic Table ingredients. There is a deep wine list. I hope you have a deep pocket. First off, I enjoyed a frisky Whiskey Sour with Bourbon, Hibiscus Aperitif, Ceylon Tea and Orange Blossom Honey. My Internist might even approve of this. No matter, I did. Next, my Mai Tai was balanced and not the cloying sweet thin syrup in less capable hands. So, Mai Tai one on. Who's in the house? Mei Lin lackeys. Beverly Hillians and a sprinkle of smart diners who want all the signature creations before that special 88 dish is 86 by 7:00. The Food: In the shade of Nightshade which broke my diner's heart when Covid drew the night shade closed. 88 Club offers Northern Chinese food with a touch of Hong Kong in it's heyday , Singaporean, (Newton Circus chic), a little K-Chow and anything else Chef Mei Lin and her confident, playful, serious team can and will create. Note: Want a cup of plain White Rice? $7. Want a small cup of Chili Crisp? $4. Either smuggle in a jar of FlybyJing and pay the Crispige fee, do without or just suck it up and be a player. This is a pricey place to start with so why not raise the cost of each dish by a buck and offer Rice and Chili for free? Just sayin'. The Shrimp Toast lands on every table. This version elevates whatever shows up on a Mah Jjong Buffet. This plate turns "Fair Food" into a magisterial experience. This is Toast Texas Toast stuffed with ground Prawn, deep fried greaseless and crisp enough to loosen the Bridge you're still making payments on. It's topped with a Hersey Kiss of Sweet and Sour Sauce on one end and sinus clearing Horseradish Mustard Aioli on the other end. Not to be missed by rational adults. The Rice Cakes are soft little flat pillows of wannabe Gnocchi with threads of Gai Lan (Chinese Broccoli), and Garlic Chives. Often such a dish is basically nothing more than a plug of savory Double Bubble Gum. Not here. Reach for the Chili Crisp and enjoy the gentle chew. The Fish Fragrant Eggplant wasn't remotely fishy. It was terrific. Eggplant Fingers with charred crispy edges, and a creamy Eggplanty center. This dish alone warrants a quick return trip here while my 88 luck holds. Nam Yu Roasted Chicken with Ginger, Scallion Oil Relish and Soy arrived next. Succulent and moist the Chicken gives similar offerings around town the Bird. Do not fail to order this beast. It transforms something potentially forgettable into something memorable. The Iberico Char Siu Pork with Hot Mustard. (The kind that showed up as a dot in a cup of Ketchup when your peeps took you to the local Chinese joint as a kid and ordered a doughy Eggroll). The Pork was fanned out on the plate and was so delicious that God would wink and smile at any Orthodox Rabbi who surreptitiously ate it all. Finally, full as a Tic, I asked for the Mango Coconut, Sago (pearls of starch from the pith of a Sago Palm) and Pomelo. This dessert was the most interesting, brave and unique concept begging the question; How can something so wild and weird be so wonderful? I'm joining the 88 Club, join me.

Came for opening weekend. The ambiance was moody and intimate, great for dates and exploring new places to dine. Mynor and Young G were sweet and provided excellent service. The drinks we had: Margarita, gimlet, and old fashioned. The Gimlet was my favorite. The glassware had sexy curves and the stem of the gimlet was extra long, I loved the glassware. Everything was delicious: the Chrysanthemum salad, the cucumber and woodear mushroom salad, the wonton soup, the shrimp toast, and the jasmine tea puffs for dessert are must gets. It is on the pricier side for Chinese cuisine, but it didn't disappoint.

First time going today! A bit early for reservations so we waited at the bar area, which was comfortable with good vibes. The ambiance throughout the whole restaurant was great really. Loved the playlist too! Restaurant is small, intimate, and packed, so reservations are a must. Beautiful decor and comfortable seating. Service was friendly. We ordered the Pork & Prawn Egg Rolls, Singaporean Chow Mein, and Mapo Tofu. We definitely tasted the five spice in all dishes, but expected it. Drinks were yummy. When leaving, they don't have mint, they have White Rabbit candy. Love it. Haha.

What a fun little "hidden" Chinese gem in Beverly Hills. Dark, moody with fun music in the background and excellent food. Loved the prawn toast, the rice cakes, the skirt steak and the chow mein. I wanted to like the cabbage more but it fell a little flat. And the crudo was good but the slices a bit thick. But overall solid spot. The bar is a cute little enclave to grab a drink as you wait (even with a res) as the place is tiny but totally worth the wait!

Love the food!! The fish, aubergine and fried rice is my fav! Steak was good too but anything you order is tasty. The bar and drink are really fun too, I recommend the Gimlet, it's so gooood. The restaurant is kinda small with a little bar at the back but it's cute. The ambience and food reminded me of Hakkasan!

I wish this place wasn't as good as it is, because it is unfortunately obscenely expensive. But it's hard to put a price on excellence. Every dish I've had here was exactly what you want it to be. I could eat that Cha Siu every day (if I didn't have to pay for it).

Nightshade was one of my favorite LA restaurants, so I was very excited to try Mei Lin's latest offering. Let's start with the positives. The space is beautiful. It feels like a very trendy hotel mixed with a museum, at once moody and a little foreboding. Came 30 min early to grab a drink at the bar and the time flew by. As for the cocktails, my pandan old fashioned was very spirit-forward and ultimately forgettable, but the zero-proof negroni was one of the top 10 cocktails of my life. I just absolutely loved it. My dining companion said it tasted like "McDonald's barbeque sauce in a good way" and this was completely accurate. A must order. Service once we were seated was overall great and attentive -- perhaps too attentive at times, as it seemed like plates were whisked away within nanoseconds of taking that last bite. But I feel like our server did a pretty good job of helping us structure the meal. Now, as for the food... everything was delicious. Sounds great, right? That's what you want, yes? Well, not so fast. Because while everything definitely tasted good, I can't say that anything surprised me. I was hoping that at least one dish would smack me across the face. Alas, everything felt like a solid B+/A-. Frankly I'd describe most dishes as 25% better than what you'd get at a very good Chinese restaurant in the suburbs. Which is still very good! Just not particularly memorable or exciting. (Eggplant and shrimp toast were my faves fwiw). And for the exorbitant prices they charge (nearly $25 for a scoop of vegetable fried rice), the whole thing fell just shy of being "worth it." I'll definitely go once more and order differently, especially since it's only their third week in operation. But for now, I'm disappointed that there wasn't more modernity present in the menu (as was the case with Nightshade). Four stars.

Unfortunately a miss for us. Although the food was delicious, it was quite expensive for what it was. I understand we're in Beverly Hills and all, but $70 for a half chicken is absolutely wild. The prawn toast and eggplant were great, the cabbage was not. Service on the other hand was a hot mess. This may have been our servers first ever serving job. He could have desperately used a breath mint, he had a difficult time communicating and management was missing in action the whole time. The decor is super nice and sets a nice mood and atmosphere. The music on the other hand was horrible, the table next to us was saying the same thing. For everyone's sake, please hire a music programmer. I'll give them another chance when things get better dialed in, as the food was tasty. At these outlandish prices $ though, they won't survive past a year. Restaurants need to understand that people have options, there's a lot of competition out there and your diners are more intelligent than you may think.

Loved my meal here. The prawn toast is the must have dish. One of the best dishes in all of LA. The Iberico char Siu was wonderful. The scallop kung pao was good. The cocktails were solidly enjoyable. The major complaint is if you are sitting in the back you are subjected to contant flashes of bright light from the kitchen everytime someone enters or leave the kitchen door. It is horrible. That have to block it off with a drape or something because it is awful. I absolutely plan on coming back to try more things.

Welcome to Beverly Hills 88! I've enjoyed every bite I've had at the restaurant. It's full of everything we're missing in LA right now-- exceptional food, wonderful service, beautiful space, and the music! The vibe and food makes me want to go back over and over again. My food hits were: shrimp toast, cucumber and wood ear salad, the rice, char siu, fish, and all the desserts. Book when you can! Perfect for any occasion.

I'm so happy Mai Lin has another new home. Her food is always amazing as well as beautiful. The restaurant is a very warm romantic old world feel. Everything about the restaurant and food was perfect except the music. The music did not fit the overall ambiance of the space and food. It was a very typical pop play list in an environment that be better suited to old Shanghai tunes. Something that would be suitable in a Wong Kar-wei film. It feels who ever came up with the playlist has no understanding of the beauty, and elegance of the food and decor.

Amazing food and service - a special shout out to Austin for his spot on recommendations and wonderful hospitality. We thoroughly enjoyed everything we ordered, but the highlights were the sesame prawn toast and prawn & bamboo shoot wontons! Can't wait for our next visit to try other items on the menu!

Overall experience was great! Chef Mei food never missed always good! Even on the first week of opening, usually restaurants get so busy that service can get kinda hectic! But the prawn and soy chicken was the highlight of the evening! I can tell whoever designed the restaurant and bar was well thought out by a professional restaurant designer. Ambience and drinks were also five star! I will be back next week!

Great dining experience. The space is intimate and beautifully designed and the music choice is a perfect pairing.

All the dishes were made to share, would highly recommend the eggplant, roasted chicken, and the prawn roast. Cannot wait to come back

Food: Everything was on point. Prawn toast order 2 you won't regret it. Rice Cakes, Crudo, Eggplant, Chicken wings and the Mapo Tofu all excellent Service: Very attentive and made sure you had everything you needed. Ambiance: One of the most beautiful dining rooms and bar. You definitely want to check this place out.

This is my perfect idea of a restaurant and dining experience. The dining room is elegant and just the right size, so you know the team of chefs in the back and the service staff are able to be more detailed. Each dish is perfect for sharing, and you'll want to try everything so sharing is best! The prawn toast is incredible- flavorful and the texture is spot on. The roasted chicken was cooked beautifully and the eggplant was delightful as well. Mango sago and tapioca dessert was a great pair. Cocktails are served quickly and cold, in beautiful glassware. I'm excited to go back and see how 88 Club grows.

Place is awesome, low key spot with amazing vibes and the food slaps here. Service is amazing from the moment you call to make a reservation Ben at the front makes you feel like a celebrity with the way he handles trying his best to move things around so you can get your desired reservation time. Austin the GM is also amazing always checking in to make sure everything is perfect. Definitely a place to try for sure and the food quality is fantastic. Prawn toast and prawn wontons is a must! Next time you want to make your reservation ask for Ben he will treat you like a king!

88 Club opened on April 4, so any reviews before then were from "Friends and Family" diners. It is hard to believe that the chef is a "top chef". We had two appetizers and shared a main course. The mushroom salad was decent, but the egg rolls were tiny and mainly fried dough with little filling. Prices for the mains were extremely high (is that what "upscale" means?), like $65 for our fried fish, $68 for chicken and $70 for scallops. Also, you would think that on opening night, they would give a glass of Prosecco or an amuse bouche from the kitchen, but no such luck.

88 Club in Beverly Hills delivers an elevated Chinese dining experience with bold flavors and elegant presentation. The ambiance is sleek yet inviting, making it perfect for both intimate dinners and upscale gatherings. Little pricey but worth every penny.

The food was delicious, the ambience was incredible but I'm 100% convinced they use msg in the food because I woke up the next day feeling dehydrated as heck, with a terrible headache and my skin flushed -- so if you're sensitive to it this is a PSA

88Club was amazing. Chefs dishes were a memory lane for myself and our group. Especially the Mung Bean Noodle dish, it literally brought me back to grandma's cooking. This dish wasn't too salty and the flavor balanced so well with a hint of the peppers that gave a nice heat but not too overwhelming. We ordered quite a bit of a nice spread, oh you have to ask for their chili oil. It was so delicious, I wish we could've packed that home. The dessert, mango sago was epic. It had the best flavor profile mix and it balanced well from a sweet, tart and a roundness in the bite. Honestly, I can't wait to get back.
