Chinese New Year is a time when family and friends come from near and far, to gather and feast. It’s a time for reunions, and a time for yee sang! Traditionally, reunion dinners on the eve of Chinese New Year are held at home, with a home cooked meal. But as the reunion meal isn’t the only Chinese New Year meal for most folks (it does go on for 15 days after all), dining out is a hassle-free option.
With that in mind, we have curated a list of options for a Chinese New Year 2024 meal for you:
