The consciously hip have long gathered here for creative Chinese cooking in a sleek and contemporary setting whose adjoining Music Room has evolved into a good venue for live jazz and folk music. The pan-fried dumplings are meaty and juicy, and the three-flavor moo shu---filled with shrimp, chicken and pork---is splendid. Many of the Szechwan dishes pack some real heat, which contributes to the popularity of cocktails like Dragon's Breath and Tropical Monsoon.
