We have been looking forward to trying this unique concept from Jose Andres, blending spanish and chinese cultures into one seemed very strange to me. When looking at the menu it’s not really fusion more two different styles of cuisine in one restaurant. There are some chinese dishes and some spanish. We decided to try a good selection of both.
Chilaquiles con Chorizo
fried egg/tortilla chips/ house-made chorizo/chipotle chile sauce/ Chihuahua cheese
Only available on the brunch menu. These were the best chilaquiles I’ve had anywhere.

Pancita al Pastor
slow-cooked pork belly/ pineapple
These were so good. Nothing better than a big piece of pork belly. Tough to have al pastor any other way now. Must have every time!
Viva China*
soft beef tendon/ Kumamoto oyster/scallions/ Sichuan peppercorn sauce
Silencio
duck tongue/rambutan fruit
Lamb Pot Stickers Stuck on You
vegetables/crispy lace
Quail Egg Sui Mai
quail egg/shrimp/pork/ waterchestnuts/mushrooms/peanuts
These were so unique and are another must have item.
When Pigs Fly
delicate steamed buns/Chinese barbeque por
Nice, but Naughty
sautéed lotus root/fresh pea shoots/sesame
Papas fritas
fried potatoes with XO sauce
Pozole Rojo
shredded pork/hominy/ guajillo chile
Accompaniments to Pozole Rojo
Like Water for Chocolate
fried quail/ dragon fruit/rose petals/chestnut and dragon fruit sauce
Mango Sticky Rice
our surprising version
Overall we liked China Poblano it’s a perfect lunch spot. We had a few misses on this visit but the ones that we liked, we really liked and would go back for just those items alone. I look forward to returning and trying more of the menu.
