In the early 1930s, the Chinese painter Ni Yide came to Shanghai to organize a group of like-minded artists, sharing a disaffection of conventionality and a devotion to the avant-garde. They declared themselves the Jue Lan Society. A new art scene emerged by creating secret meeting places in 1930’s Paris to trade, create and buy art outside the watch of their homeland in Communist China. It was the Chinese response to the European art movements of Cubism, Surrealism and Dadaism.
It is in that spirit, on the site of the 20th centuries’ most notorious nightspot that we opened the Jue Lan Club at The Limelight Church in New York City. It is a space where we invite you to share in our cuisine, art and our nightly revelry.
Glitzy restaurant in the former Limelight space offering modern Chinese fare in a multiroom setting. Based on 832 reviews, the restaurant has received a rating of 3.8 stars. Price $$$

This place is definitely a vibe! I’ve been here on a Sunday evening and they have hip hop music playing and a good energy all round. The meals and service are top notch. It is definitely on the pricier side for Chinese food, but you pay for the experience and the quality and quantity. I do believe you get much larger portions here than other restaurants, which makes it worth the price.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Ju Lan Clun in New York, and I must say it was an exceptional culinary experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere that set the stage for what was to come.

Loved going to the old Limelight, which is now multiple restaurants, one of them being Jue Lan Club. Was at a private function, and it was perfect. Really enjoyed the food and the staff was super friendly. Definitely need to go back for dinner.

Really don’t understand the negative reviews here. I’m Shanghainese, born and raised, and yes if you’re coming here for authentic Shanghai food you will be disappointed. This is very much an upscale Asian fusion restaurant, Chinese-leaning.
