HOME > Chowhound > Manhattan >   Radiance (Midtown East)  Has
anyone been to this newish haute-Chinese restaurant yet? I'm
slated to try it in a bit.  A colleague of mine was just raving
to me about this place, going on and on about how it's going to
put Hakkasan, Buddakan, etc. out of business. Blah, blah.
Hyperbole aside, I'm rather excited as Radiance is manned by
Chef Lou Zi-Zhoa. It should make the food interesting, if not
very very good.     1. Click to Upload a photo (10 MB limit)
1. re: Pookipichu        Thanks, totally missed that thread.
1. re: ipsedixit          Please let us know what you think. I
like that they seem serious about their teas.      2. I ate
there twice and ate once at their little 'booth' in the atrium
downstairs.       I went with some of my Chinese coworkers but
they didn't think it was anything special. I thought it was
better than most Chinese restaurants but for some, food may be
too 'bland'. I don't think it will put Hakkasan and Buddakan out
of business for sure.
