Yujean Kang's Gourmet Chinese Cuisine

Many Chinese restaurants put the word gourmet in their name, but few really mean it -- or deserve it. Not so at Yujean Kang's, where Chinese cuisine is taken to an entirely new level. A master of fusion cuisine, the eponymous chef/owner snatches bits of techniques and flavors from both China and the West, merging them in an entirely fresh way. Can you resist such provocative dishes as "Ants on Tree" (beef sautéed with glass noodles in chili and black sesame seeds), Chinese polenta with shrimp and mushrooms, or sautéed pork chop with fresh leeks? Kang is also a wine aficionado and has assembled a magnificent cellar of California, French, and German wines. Try pairing a German Spätlese with tea-smoked duck salad. The red-wrapped dining room is less subtle than the food, but just as elegant.
