They serve elevated Cantonese and regional Chinese cuisine through in-house catering, with banquet classics and interactive cooking stations that celebrate culinary storytelling. With four distinct event spaces, full A/V, dance floor options, and flexible decor policies, China Live delivers a customizable, culturally rich wedding experience
🫖 The Tea
Couples consistently praise China Live's all-inclusive approach (furniture, decor options, in-house catering and bar, cake service) which minimizes the need to work with multiple vendors. The food gets high marks for quality and presentation, blending traditional Cantonese with contemporary California influences, though the venue sits on the pricier end of the spectrum compared to traditional banquet halls.
The Vibe: Sleek three-story Chinatown destination where elevated Chinese cuisine meets industrial design that actually photographs well
The Flex: Moving the after-party to the hidden Cold Drinks Bar upstairs
