Chinese Tuxedo is a cool, hip, happening Cantonese style restaurant set in a two-story former opera house on Doyers Street in the heart of Chinatown; the venue was once the headquarters for the notorious Tong (gang) wars that took place in the early 1900s.

A popular dish in Korea, with Bulgogi seen on most Korean restaurants’ menus, this dish is made up of thinly sliced beef soaked in a mouth-watering …
