Our Inspector's Highlights

Don’t miss dim sum, where you can enjoy steamed buns filled with cuttlefish or scallops, a crispy lobster ball with black truffle, a caramelized turnip cake or a wok-seared crab claw with crab roe.
You have to order the Peking duck 24 hours before your meal, but you’ll be rewarded with a three-course feast: first, the crispy skin comes with other ingredients to tuck into thin pancakes; next, minced duck arrives in lettuce wraps; and finally, more minced duck is stuffed into tofu sheet rolls.
Peruse the impressive tea list, which includes unusual finds like the refreshing, floral Sparkling Golden Oolong with longan honey. There’s even a tea sommelier who can recommend the right cups to go with your dishes.
For the restaurant’s greatest hits, opt for Chef Lau’s Signature Menu, which includes the golden crabmeat in the shell, wok-fried wagyu and braised whole Japanese abalone.
Hong Kong-based CAP Atelier designed the restaurant to look like a stunning jade jewel box. But notice other details, like the layered glass partitions with Suzhou-style double-sided embroidered flowers depicting the seasons. And rare Yixing teapots are carefully displayed on shelves in a dark nook, almost like you’d see in a museum.

Things to Know

The dress code at Lai Ching Heen is business casual. Diners must wear closed-toed shoes, sleeved shirts and pants for gentlemen.
The Hong Kong restaurant offers some private dining rooms, all of which overlook Victoria Harbour. The spaces accommodate groups from 10 to 36.
If you’re celebrating a special occasion, try the Lai Ching Heen Supreme Birthday Menu, a multicourse meal that ends with Chinese longevity buns — the traditional peach-shaped desserts symbolize longevity and good health — as a birthday treat.
Along with the Peking duck, the barbecued whole suckling pig and fortune chicken (which involves wrapping the meat in lotus leaf and baking it for five hours with vegetables and herbs) must be ordered 24 hours in advance.
