In 1985 created by Marja Samsom as underground word-of-mouth salon in the E.Village with a prix fixe menu on her answering machine.
In 1990 it moved ‘above ground’ to the corner of Prince/Mott street and there became a legendary eatery.
The Kitchen Club & Chibis Bar attracted a local and international clientele serving European cuisine with a Japanese twist and on Sunday nite live music performances in Chibis Bar .
The menu also included a wide variety of savory or delicious desert dumplings, when they became a big hit the restaurant began offering afternoon classes : Dumplings as Story telling.
After its 20th anniversary celebration in 2010, our Dumpling Diva opened her golden cage and flew out singing, in pursuit of new adventures.
