World's Largest Chinese Restuarant

Sundance Channel

The Westlake Restaurant in Changsha, China is considered to be the largest Chinese restaurant in the world. It is set over 14 acres, with over 100 private dining rooms, pavilions, halls, Imperial Hall, and various stages for lives performances.

It seats 5,000 guests, employs more than 300 chefs, goes through 700 chickens and 200 snakes in a week, and supplements its food with diversions like stage shows. It recently catered a company banquet, serving 3,800 people simultaneously.

The restaurant has featured in a documentary which is on the BBC in the UK tonight (in an hour's time) and on the Sundance Channel in the US later tonight. Here's a clip from the show.
