Chinese American cuisine with creative twists and family-style sharing
"Further evidence that Charleston’s chefs are always looking to put a global spin on Southern comfort cooking." - Sharan Kuganesan, Oset Babür-Winter
"In its new East Montague location (moved from Spruill Avenue in early 2025), the space channels a ’70s/’80s Chinese-American aesthetic while Chef Shuai Wang—recent Top Chef finalist—continues to draw crowds. Dumplings remain tender, karaage is a staple, and the menu expands with spicy peanut noodles, cornmeal-crusted trout, and a drink list that includes Viognier by the glass and playful frozen concoctions." - Stephanie Burt
"Mentioned as a nearby spot a young fan visited after expecting to meet the chef: Shuai Wang recalled, "This one girl had lunch at [his restaurant] with her family, because she thought I would be there, but I wasn’t. So she dropped by [this nearby spot], because she made me a friendship bracelet, and she wanted to give me a hug. I almost cried because it’s so, so sweet. Everyone’s just been amazing and supportive. So I can’t say enough good things about my fans." The anecdote underscores the strong, kid-friendly local support surrounding the chef and his events." - Erin Perkins
"The new location of Jackrabbit Filly isn’t only great food — there are some really fun cocktails being mixed up at the bar. Lead by Will Moscowitch (formerly of the Quinte), drinks include a frozen pineapple concoction called Actually My Job ... It’s Just Beach or a take on a dirty martini with a splash of Lillet named The First Rule of Fight Club Is." - Erin Perkins
"A Chinese-American spot now in a new location, known for playful items like crab rangoon cheese balls." - Erin Perkins
