Our Inspector's Highlights

  • The multi-sensory experience begins immediately upon arrival as you’re greeted by the traditional sounds of a guzheng, a classic Chinese string instrument expertly plucked by a talented musician.
  • The dim sum at Lai Heen is an art form, featuring delicate creations such as steamed seafood dumplings with caviar and crispy spring rolls filled with creamy shrimp mousse.
  • For an extra local touch, certified tea sommeliers can guide you through a pairing journey, matching rare and fragrant teas like Tie Guan Yin or Longjing with Lai Heen’s signature dishes.
  • Presentation is all part of Lai Heen’s sensory journey. White porcelain dishes allow colorful entrees to shine while still offering a touch of Cantonese flair and ultra-fresh local vegetables serve as both mouthwatering sides and vibrant garnishes.
  • Save room for dessert. Gorgeously plated Cantonese sweets like chilled mango sago pudding with pomelo or a peach bun longevity dish are as pleasing to the eyes as they are to the palate.
