Café China is a Chinese restaurant in Midtown West, New York City serving Sichuan cuisine in a 1940s Shanghai style setting established in 2011.[2][3][4][5] In 2021, the restaurant closed, moving from its original one floor location at 13 East 37th St to its current one up the block which is 3 floors. A new restaurant called Chili was opened by several former workers at Cafe China in their old location and drew ire from Cafe China accusing them of stealing their menu.[6] The restaurant had received a Michelin star in 2013 becoming the first Chinese restaurant in NYC to receive one maintaining their star until 2020.
