China Grill

China Grill New York was established in 1987 at the CBS Building in Manhattan, New York City. It was founded by partners Jeffrey Chodorow and Kenji Seki, with Seki both managing and fulfilling executive chef responsibilities. The menu was based on Seki's previous employer, Chinois on Main, which was located in Santa Monica, California and owned by Wolfgang Puck.^[1] He would return to Los Angeles a year later to start his restaurant called Noa Noa.^[2]
