Culinary Center

To debut in 2025, the Culinary Center at China Institute in America was created with a vision to highlight the diverse and long-standing heritage of authentic Chinese cuisine and to enhance the appreciation of Chinese cuisine as a new conduit of cross-cultural exchange in America and internationally.

Food Is A Universal Language
That Connects Cultures.

The sharing of food has brought people together since the beginning of time. The new Culinary Center, which features an impressive, fully-stocked professional kitchen, aims to establish a Michelin level of standard and excellence that are necessary to present to the world the art and intricacies of authentic Chinese cuisine. In this process, it will connect like-minded gourmands through specially curated programs and members’ events including regional dinners, wine and fine tea tastings, expert-led workshops and lectures, competitions, culinary festivals, and more.
