" I had the most amazing time dining at China Live. The servers were incredibly welcoming, especially our waiter who gave us great recommendations throughout the meal. The dumplings and the garlic noodles were highlights—the flavors were vibrant and fresh. It’s a modern eatery, but they maintain a sense of traditional charm. Expect it to be busy, especially on weekends, but the quality of food and service makes it worthwhile. Can’t wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" The wait time was a bit longer than expected, but once we were seated, the service was quite swift. The dim sum was definitely the highlight of my meal. However, some dishes lacked the depth of flavor I anticipated. The atmosphere was vibrant and eclectic, which added to the experience. I would visit again, but I would like to explore their lunch options next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" What an experience! China Live serves up some incredible dishes. I was particularly impressed with the handmade noodles that burst with flavor. The staff made sure we were well taken care of, recommending exactly what to try. There’s a lot of hustle and bustle, but it added to the lively dining atmosphere. If you’re a foodie, definitely put this place on your list. You won't regret it! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing so much about China Live, I finally made a reservation and it was worth it! The restaurant has a trendy vibe that makes it appealing for a night out. I ordered a range of dishes, and while some were excellent, particularly the handmade noodles, others fell flat and didn’t meet my expectations. I might have just ordered the wrong items, so I plan to return and try again. Service was attentive, which made for an overall pleasant evening. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place was definitely a mixed bag for me. While some dishes were quite good, others felt like they missed the mark. I specifically didn’t love the way the dumplings were served, as I expected more soup inside. The server was friendly and very helpful, though, and the ambiance was lively. I might give it another shot with some friends next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely fantastic! I celebrated my birthday here, and they went above and beyond to make it special. The BBQ pork buns were to die for and the service was friendly and attentive. I couldn't have asked for a better atmosphere to enjoy a festive dinner. I also loved the decor throughout the restaurant; it made for such a charming experience. Will definitely bring friends next time! " (*Curated Review*)
