    Love their ambience and deco of the restaurant. Indeed they earned their Michelin Star award for their dishes. The food we ordered are sumptuous, fresh and well presented. Quality of the food is there. Very Cantonese style cuisine. Claypot rice takes about 45 mins to cook, worth the wait as the rice is so well seasoned and tasty. Their Peking duck is great, the meat is tender and juicy when served. I look forward to visit again.

Even though the service is busy, they will still try their best to attend to you as soon as possible... now that travel restriction is ease up, it’s a good place to host your foreign friend visiting Singapore.

    We’ve been coming to Lei Garden for many years. Today, we brought some friends for dim sum and I realized I’d never left a review before. Their dim sum is very good. The mains are good, too, with a wide selection of dishes. Service is also friendly and attentive. Quality wise, they’d probably be five stars but I’m taking off one star for the value proposition and a second one for having shark’s fin on the menu. Be sure to book ahead because they do get quite busy.

    We had family dinner here tonight. This is one of the famous names that's been around for decades. Amazing - only the best can survive the test of time, economic cycles, and crisis. And lei garden is one of these names! The food, service, and overall experience reflect its Michelin awards consistently received over the years.

    Peking duck & roast pork are highly recommended. Overall great ambience for a family dinner. Attentive staffs with tip top service. Of course price is at the higher end, what to expect, it is Lei Garden located in Chijmes. Just enjoy the scrumptious meal~

    Super nice food. Customer service is good. Egg tart is served hot and soft. Clams are damn fresh. I would recommend to go for the spicy dumplings if you are in for some spiciness. Left the restaurant with a satisfied tummy. *burp*

    It has been around 10 years since we last visited. The standard of service and food quality was excellent. Wish I can give 6 stars.

    Excellent Chinese restaurant, beautiful Peking duck and yum cha dim sum. The roast pork is the best we have even had with crispy skin, tender meat, lightly salty yet beautifully tasty. Elegant set up. Highly recommend.

    Lei Gardens exults charm and epicurean delights. It is quintessentially Cantonese fine dining with an excellent selection of dim sum. The restaurant decorations is decked in old school charm. Reminiscence of Hong Kong. It is bright as there are windows on both sides offering a peep into the court yards of Chjmes. The customer service is good but they are short handed. We ordered a wide selection of dim sum. The char siew bao is rich in flavor and generous with portions. It is good. The chicken spring roll is fried with crispy wanton skin and richly endowed with chicken bits. Another winner. The egg tart is another winner. The texture is soft and flaky and of course tasty. The glutinous rice with chicken is good. The flavor is good and delicious. We ordered the yam with pumpkin. It is a good pairing. Perfect harmony. Next we have the plain porridge which is a tad too bland but with some soy sauce, it is cured. My highlight is the yam fried with honey and peanuts. This is a very Cantonese dish. The yam is thinly sliced and fried into a pyramid richly coated with honey and peanuts. Overall experience is good and consistent. Make your way to experience a good Cantonese restaurant with quality fare.

    The menu has changed significantly. I don’t know is it because of the Michelin star or what. It’s paying more for much less. As if they want to earn as much at the least possible time. They used to be good, now they seem to change all their menu, feels very different from past time. Used to be my favourite place. I can’t help but wonder what direction are they heading to ?

    Planned a small and simple solemnization lunch at Lei Garden. Thanks to Hanni and team, everything from the preparation down to the actual lunch was easy and stress-free. We had a number of dietary restrictions and Hanni shared alternative menu options ahead of the event. The room came with a balcony that overlooked CHIJMES that we used for the tea ceremony. Loved the lunch course that included a glass of red wine!

    All the dishes didn't fail us. We tried Peking duck and roast duck. Both are nice and we didn't regret ordering. Love it and already recommended it to many friends. We were served by Fong and we were served greatly by her and others. Thank you

    As a regular patron of this establishment, I've explored their Michelin tasting menus on several occasions. The seating arrangement plays a significant role in shaping the dining experience, particularly for couples seeking intimacy; tables situated by the sides or in the VIP room on the upper floor are preferable for a quieter dining experience. Main dining hall gives an airy and vibrant vibes. Despite minimal changes to the menus, the quality remains commendable. Not a fan of their fusion attempt on spaghetti, rather they bring back the good old fried rice. In addition, I found some meat dishes to be overly sweet (maybe too much seasoning), and the desserts lacked innovation.

    Possibly the best 蛋白杏仁茶 in Singapore (fresh almond milk with egg white - hot dessert). It tasted just like the ones we'd in Hong Kong at top restaurants. It's Hairy Crab season and the male steamed crab here was nice and fresh. Some may say it's pricey but you get what you pay for. Other dishes like the tofu with salted fish and diced chicken cubes in claypot are also reminiscent of HK flavors and memories. 咸鱼鸡粒豆腐煲. Simple dish but hard to execute well. And Lei Garden folks did it well. Kudos.

    A special treat for my Queen 👸 I love the fish braised fish maw - pleasantly surprise to see how well done and chewy it was! The sea grouper fillet was good too. I love the homemade noodles - perfect for the occasion. The only blemish was the Spanish pork was a tad too salty. But the attentiveness of the service staff + atmosphere saved the day 😘 Definitely back for dim sum soon. Thank you.

    Its one restaurant to go for fine authentic Cantonese Cuisines and Dim Sum dishes from HK, since 1987 in SG. For me, i like their array of dim sum dishes that include Deep-Fried Scallop, Siew Mai, Crystal Dumpling and Deep-Fried Shrimp Wonton that are good in terms of texture and flavours. Others like Carrot Cake, Lotus Rice and Xiao Long Bao needs more attention from the chefs to not overcooked them and to serve them at correct temperature. Overall, restaurant has an elegant setting with modern oriental influence, but semi-circle bench sofa not comfortable. Service staffs wasnt attentive and impatient, probably due the overwhelming crowd on Sunday afternoon.

    A michelin star rated HK Chinese restaurant with only 1 outlet in Singapore. On the very steep side price wise but a nice place for a special treat.

  • 5/5 Nathathida K. 6 months ago on Google • 68 reviews
    Delicious in every menu that I ordered especially fried/grilled food. Menu that I like are crispy pork, abalone, fried scallop, and zucchini with pork. Moreover, mango sago and sesame ball are so good!

  • 4/5 M M. 3 months ago on Google • 44 reviews New
    The Peking duck is really nice, crispy and the right amount of fats which is what makes it really tasty. The rest of the food is nice and fresh as well but does it justify for the price? I don’t think so, I had better dim sum with 20% cheaper price. I reckon you pay for the service and atmosphere. Since most of the dim sum place services is usually lagging.

  • 4/5 Cintia i. 2 months ago on Google • 40 reviews New
    Their food is quite delicious and the tea is also delicious, moreover their waiters work harder and faster in giving extra attention to the customers' table (they do it better than most dim sum restaurants) so we were never bothered by the tea running out or empty plates, this restaurant is almost always busy at lunch time. I came twice when I was in the area. ✨🎀

  • 5/5 Nancy Y. 8 months ago on Google
    Lei Garden is go-to restaurant for meals. The service is excellent - staff are attentive, always ask if we need car park coupon. Dishes never fail to impress and yum yum from us.

  • 5/5 Nadia H. 9 months ago on Google
    A place for a special occasion. Not the friendliest to the wallet but it's worth it. The roasted pork and charsiew are must try! Red grouper and taupok in hotstone also nice. Staffs are helpful. A few mins walk from Raffles City Mal.

    This restaurant located at Chijmes, which just opposite City Hall MRT station. They awarded a Michelin guide 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2021. I on high expectation on this restaurant. We ordered a CNY dinner for SGD1788++. This meal included a yu sheng, braise fish maw with japanese conpoy, sauteed century grouper filler with mushroom and green vegetables, chicken, fried glutinous rice, bird nest with peach resin and red dates and golden sesame ball. The foods are really scrumptious with no doubt. The ingredients is fresh and premium grade. I enjoyed every meal served on that day. The reason i give 4 stars is mainly because of the cleanliness. The plated were dirty. Some stains spotted (show in picture). Few plates are not clean properly and we asked for change for new set. As a Michelin guide restaurant assumed they ensure everything they served are clean.

    Very very very delicious and the price is fair, which is almost the same as the price in mainland China. I think it worthwhile to try. And the environment is nice, which is suitable for business purposes. Dim sum is highly recommended.

  • 3/5 Lim E. 1 year ago on Google
    Dined as part of company event and had 1+8 course CNY dinner. Decent portion and taste. Fish maw was too soft texture wise so it did not provide a springy feel (the texture may not be ok for some). Food was ok. Service was excellent. Ambience was great.

  • 4/5 Mau T. 1 year ago on Google
    Peking duck ($98) was fatty and crispy, enjoyed the egg wrapper which was different from other restaurants but would prefer if the accompaniments came with spring onions as well. The stir fried prawns with asparagus, pickled pig trotters and braised bean vermicelli with crab meat in casserole (not pictured) were a fantastic umami bomb. Do remember to pre-order popular menu items such as the Peking duck and roast pork. Lovely ambience, although service was brisk of a typical Chinese restaurant.

    Highly recommended! Just go! So far the best dim sum in Singapore! Authentic Hong Kong taste! 🥰 love it

  • 4/5 Rathian 1 year ago on Google
    Having dinner alone in a Chinese restaurant makes you difficult to order. The fried vegetable and shark fine soup were nice. Beef dish was too salty. Services was good.

  • 5/5 Raffael E. 2 months ago on Google • 16 reviews New
    Food was decent as always, came here for a business lunch. Atmosphere was professional and the food was good, but do note that it can be pricey. Free parking does come with sufficient spending, however. Ordered the dim sum dishes, which were very well prepared, in terms of both texture and taste. Highly recommend the roast pork for first timers, the mustard goes especially well with it. My server Frank was also very courteous and pleasant to our group. Though, food could be served slightly faster as our first dish took a while to come, granted it was a busy lunch. Overall, a 9/10 for me.

  • 4/5 Rachel C. 2 years ago on Google
    Visited this outlet during Sunday lunch time. Need to make advance booking at least 3-4 days ahead, otherwise it’s difficult for big groups. Dim Sum quality is ok (forgot to take pictures hahah) quite standard selection and taste is decent. Not much surprises though .. would like to see some innovation on the dim sum dishes Location and ambiance is superb. They have two levels.. the photos below shows the stairs leads to level 2 Note, they have many rooms for functions.. perfect place for Chinese groups hosting big groups of guests
