I have always heard that Chef Guo is a "New York Little State Banquet". This time I finally came to check in, and it really lives up to its reputation. The set meal design is very attentive, combining traditional court dishes with modern creative elements. It is not only delicious but also super photogenic! The dishes are exquisitely presented, and each one is amazing. The service staff are also very professional, gentle and meticulous when introducing the dishes. The overall experience exceeded expectations and is definitely worth coming again!

The first time I came to Chef Guo for dinner, it was really a shocking food experience! This is not an ordinary Chinese restaurant, but a Chinese restaurant that has turned Chinese food into an art-level enjoyment. Every dish is as exquisite as a work of art, combining traditional court style with modern plating. The taste is also very particular, with clear layers and high-quality ingredients. The service is very thoughtful, and the waiter will explain the cultural story behind each dish, which makes people feel satisfied and knowledgeable. Recommended to all friends who want to experience the real "Chinese taste + sense of ritual", the small state banquet is well-deserved and worth a special trip to check in!

Chef Guo simply refreshed my understanding of Chinese food! From appetizers to desserts, every dish is as exquisite as a work of art, with progressive and varied flavors. Especially the golden soup fish belly and truffle shrimp, which are so delicious that I can't bear to eat too fast. The dining environment is very elegant, the Chinese aesthetic details are in place, and the service is also very good. It is very suitable for entertaining VIPs or anniversaries to have a dinner full of ritual!

The incredible dining experience. After numerous meals at Michelin-starred restaurants, I must say that ChefGuo is one of the best overall high-end restaurants I have experienced... from flawless service, meticulously prepared dishes, to the breathtaking and unique environment that immerses you in an outstanding gastronomic journey. I highly recommend 3 Michelin stars!

My review for this restaurant is awesome!!!!🤩 As soon as I entered the restaurant I was shocked by the decorative style inside, which simply arrived at the feeling of a palace dinner. I have rarely seen some restaurants so richly decorated with Chinese cultural characteristics. For the food, I don't even dare to break its shape🤣🤣because the food is as exquisite as if is fake, and at first glance thought it was a painting. Overall, the environment and the food are top-notch, at least one of the tops in my case. Compared with Michelin's three-star restaurant, I prefer Chef Guo, more to my taste. I really really really really super recommend trying it! 🥹😋
