JOSS CUISINE/TRADITIONAL is the offshoot of Joss/Chinese Haute Cuisine, one of Los Angeles' best kept secrets for twenty years. The new restaurant continues the culinary style of the original.
JOSS CUISINE's menu is a reflection of China's traditional culinary history demonstrating the lasting influence of Chinese food on today's modern palate. JOSS's signature Hong Kong Pin Pei Chicken and China's most famous dish, Peking Duck, remain as specialties of the house.
The decor of the restaurant, as our name indicates, will be Chinese Traditional, harmonized for today's visual senses. Walk through the entrance and you know you are in for something distinctive with the minimalist, Shanghai 30's theme.
To quote the eminent Yuan Dynasty painter, Chao Meng Fu (1253–1325), "Talk only with the ones who understand, speak not at all to those who don't." When seating is so limited, perhaps it's a good advice to follow. But all in all, as with the original restaurant, at JOSS CUISINE, cooking is still a lot of fun for us, and dining will still be hedonistic for you.
