Dumpling enthusiasts and champagne lovers alike can indulge in in the elevated, yet unpretentious fine-dining experience offered in this sexy, and intimate underground hideaway. The menu honors Cantonese classics with dishes like Xiaolongbao and Char Siu Bao, while creative offerings such as Foie Gras Blackberry Dumplings with Brown Butter Miso Crumb showcase culinary innovation in this celebration of Chinese American fare. A deep champagne and wine list complements the menu, and at the 14-seat Pink Italian Stone bar, classic cocktails are shaken up with unique spice combinations and Asian-produced liquors, like a Manhattan riff “Doyer’s Street” made with Chinese five-spice infused Bourbon and Fernet Michaud from Portland, ME

Note: Table reservation durations: 1.5 hours for parties of two, 2 hours for parties of 4 or more. Walk-in seats are available at the bar.

    All the food was delicious, our server was really sweet and helpful, and the space is so fun! Definitely stop in, and especially if you used to go to Old Port Tavern and want to be floored by the remodel of the space.

    We ordered multiple dumpling orders to share between the 4 of us. Our waiter Stefan was very helpful and knowledgeable in talking about the different options - plus he was very friendly and informative when we asked about the restaurant. Between Stefan, the great food and the atmosphere, we will definitely come back!

    We thoroughly enjoyed our entire experience at Lucky Cheetah. We have been trying to go for several months but every time we try to make a reservation there are no seats available. Thankfully with a little advanced planning we secured one. Now we can see why one would need to plan ahead! The restaurant was bustling even at 5:30! From the moment you walk in there is so much to take in. The decor was fantastic and full of personality. Our seats were comfortable and we loved our little corner booth. The server was attentive and knowledgeable explaining how our drinks were made (especially when we were unfamiliar with the ingredients). The food was outstanding. We were a group of vegetarian and meat eaters and we had plenty of choices right off the menu. Surprisingly there are so many restaurants that don’t have enough vegetarian choices! Although we were familiar with the food style and ingredients it was nice to see that this same server was helpful to others next to us when he knew the customers didn’t know what they were ordering and he preemptively told them in a non-assuming and non-judgmental way. The bathrooms were clean, roomy, and well decorated with some great soap/lotion amenities. My only criticism is the music playlist was not fitting. It was all rap and not peppered in with some other choices to make the evening ebb and flow. Overall, this is a restaurant we would highly recommend.
