Upscale Cantonese with dim sum & harbor views
"Remodelled and renamed Lai Ching Heen in 2022, the main dining room can now be accessed straight from the hotel lobby. In addition to the updated décor, expansive harbour views and Hong Kong’s skyline with its electric glow remain a joy to behold. Onto the menu, all-time favourites like stuffed crab shell with crabmeat, and crispy Lung Kong chicken are still offered. Don’t miss the dim sum lunch with exquisitely crafted bite-sized morsels." - Michelin Inspector
"A jade-trimmed Cantonese dining room with a storied history and retained classics that earned it two Michelin stars—highlights include refined dim sum at lunchtime, Peking duck, and honey‑glazed barbecued pork at dinner; the restaurant also offers curated tea pairings from a dedicated tea sommelier, including a sparkling oolong with longan honey bottled exclusively for the hotel." - Chris Schalkx
"A formerly two-star restaurant that was downgraded from two Michelin stars in this edition of the guide, indicating a reduction in its awarded status though it remains part of the listed establishments." - Monica Burton
"The most iconic postcard view of Hong Kong’s Victoria Harbor is best seen from Kowloon, and Yan Toh Heen’s sea-level, harborside setting offers front-row views. Although the hotel is due to be renovated this year, its flagship Chinese restaurant got its facelift a little earlier, which ensures that the well-loved restaurant remains open during the hotel’s temporary closure. Chef Yiu-fai Lau has been with the hotel since it opened, and continues to please with meticulously made Cantonese classics, such as dim sum, as well as Chinese favorites like Peking duck.

"Yan Toh Heen’s version boasts a shining lineup of fillings—abalone and other types of seafood accentuate the effort and technique put into preparing this crispy classic." - Michelin Guide Digital-Hong Kong Macau
