FUN DINING. NOT FINE DINING.

Yang Kwei Fei was an 8th century consort of the last Tang Dynasty emperor Xuanzong. Known both for her beauty and her fondness for alcohol, she is one half of one of the most famous love stories of ancient China. It is that love that has inspired Kwei Fei, a restaurant concept from Chef David Schuttenberg inspired by the foods of Western China, and more specifically the province of Sichuan. This style of Chinese cooking is known for its vibrant, colorful, and piquant flavors.
