Nine Tailed Fox

Coming Spring 2025!

Nine Tailed Fox, Atlas Restaurant Group’s new Chinese concept will be coming to Cross Keys in Spring 2025.

Drawing inspiration from a powerful figure in Chinese mythology, the name reflects both the restaurant’s cultural roots and its contemporary culinary vision.

The Nine Tailed Fox is a legendary creature from Chinese folklore, known as the “Huli Jing.” This mystical being symbolizes transformation, wisdom, and longevity, and it’s often portrayed as a fox capable of developing additional tails as it grows older and gains more power and knowledge. By the time it reaches nine tails, it is said to possess near-immortal qualities, embodying magic, grace, and intelligence. This historical significance resonates with the restaurant group’s mission to offer sophisticated and evolving dining experiences while continuing to gain knowledge from each new concept that it has opened.

Nine Tailed Fox’s culinary program will be executed by Executive Chef Jeffrey Mei (Shirong Mei). Chef Mei brings 29 years of experience in leading kitchens at top restaurants such as Benny Chows, ONE Dim Sum, and Yauatcha in Houston, as well as the Sheraton Hotel in Flushing, New York. Originally from China, Mei specializes in Chinese cuisine, blending tradition with innovation. His leadership and culinary expertise will shape Nine Tailed Fox into a regional dining destination.
