Café China is a Chinese restaurant located in Midtown West, New York City, known for its focus on Sichuan cuisine and an atmosphere reminiscent of 1940s Shanghai. Founded in 2011, the restaurant initially operated at 13 East 37th Street before moving in 2021 to a more spacious, three-level venue at 59 West 37th Street. This relocation occurred after several former Café China staff opened Chili at the original address, which sparked allegations of menu duplication.
In 2013, Café China became the first Chinese establishment in New York City to receive a Michelin star, an accolade it maintained through 2020. The restaurant is currently owned by Xian Zhang and Yiming Wang.
