Why did we dine here? – Lei Garden is a top restaurant group with locations in Hong Kong, Singapore, China, and Macau. In late 2014 we had dinner at the Guangzhou location of Lei Garden, based on our local friends re-iteration that even this location serves up great food. Interesting to hear that the Xi Jinping’s crackdown has affected business at this restaurant too. Government officials do not want to be caught near any fancy restaurants any more. This location takes up one floor and is 50% made up of private rooms. Insider Tip – Order carefully to reduce $$$. Pre-order special dishes. Cuisine – Cantonese Chinese Location – Guangzhou, China Opened – 2013 Service – Lei Garden had us in a private room with servers in there almost 100% of the time. Excellent service. Verdict – Lei Garden does it again with stellar food and service. This is one of the top restaurants in Asia. We always look forward to each at one on each trip.

Prior to this, we were in Taiwan, so we missed traditional high end Cantonese fare. Insider Tip – High quality 2 Michelin Star Dim Sum at expensive prices. Cuisine – Cantonese Chinese Location – Four Season’s Macao Cotai Strip, China SAR Service – Zi Yat Heen hosted in a private room with a server to ourselves. Hence the service was excellent. The server knew her stuff and took care of all our needs. Yes, high end restaurants in Asia are far different then the United States. Verdict – Zi Yat Heen is an expensive restaurant. There were some excellent dishes along with some clinkers. All in all, we feel they deserve one Michelin star and not two. The food is still far better than any Chinese in the US. Stick to interesting Portugese food while in Macau. We feel that quality in Hong Kong […]
