The Kitchen Club was created by Marja Samsom in 1985 as an underground word-of-mouth salon in the E.Village with a prix fixe menu on her answering machine. In 1990 she moved it ‘above ground’ to the corner of Prince/Mott street where it became the legendary eatery The Kitchen Club & Chibis Bar, attracting a local and international clientele, serving European cuisine with a Japanese twist. The menu included a wide variety of savory and desert dumplings. After its 20th anniversary celebration in 2010, our Dumpling Diva opened her golden cage and flew out singing, in pursuit of new adventures.
