M.Y. CHINA

“If Yan can cook, then you pay Yan.” That was Martin Yan’s hard-earned motto since he was truly one of the pioneer celebrity chefs back in the 1980’s. Yan’s latest creation holds its own in the Westfield Center. M.Y. China is first rate fancy Chinese with a gorgeous interior and a busy show kitchen that’s more entertaining than watching chefs on TV. Chefs trot around the restaurant wildly pulling noodles, frying in woks, deep frying, assembling and making soup. Entertainment aside, it is a rarity to have gourmet Chinese food in San Francisco.
