Lei Garden is a Cantonese Chinese restaurant based in Hong Kong, with serveral locations in China and Singapore. We loved their Hong Kong IFC location and had to visit them when in Beijing.

The cooking style is really more of a fusion between Cantonese cuisine and the local Shanxi cuisine, to appease the locals. They serve everything from ultra expensive shark’s fin soup to low cost everyday dishes. Decor, Vibe – Lots of private rooms, many with TVs for extended meals and get togethers.
