Chinese Tuxedo is a contemporary Chinese restaurant and event venue housed in what was once the first Chinese Opera House on the East Coast, located at 5 Doyers Street in the heart of Chinatown, New York City. The split-level space has been thoughtfully restored with midcentury touches while retaining historical details such as original pillars, stripped-down walls, and now-sealed secret tunnel entryways. The venue features a flavorful, eclectic Chinese Banquet style menu complemented by inventive cocktails, a dynamic wine list, and a selection of craft beers. Multiple event spaces including the main dining room, the Moon Room private dining lounge, the Mezzanine, and the underground cocktail bar Peachy's can be booked separately or together for a full venue buyout.
