About Us

Our Story

Blue Willow is a hospitality brand rooted in heritage, designed to transport. Inspired by the golden era of 1920s Old Shanghai and founded in New York City, we bring the warmth of family tradition into refined, cinematic spaces.

Our menu centers on cherished family recipes, with bold, expressive flavors from Hunan and beyond. Signature dishes include Chairman Mao’s Red-Braised Pork, slow-simmered to perfection, alongside wok-charred green beans, fragrant chili fish, and hand-pulled noodles. Every plate pays tribute to generations before us—reinterpreted with intention and care.

The experience continues at the bar, where we craft Baijiu-infused cocktails, seasonal infusions, and tea-driven spirits that reflect our East-meets-West philosophy. It’s a modern take on a classic lounge—a place to linger, sip, and connect.

From intimate dinners to celebratory gatherings, Blue Willow invites guests to slow down, share stories, and savor the moment—one dish, one drink, one memory at a time.
