What Matilda Bode doesn't like about Lai Wah Heen:
We went for New Year’s Eve and we’re disappointed. The dim sum was not explained although we stresses that one of us dies not eat meat. While most if us dined in duck the hungry pescatarian had to wait a half hour for her dim sum to arrive. The Chinese broccoli portion was also relatively small. The duck was good but little meat. View all feedback. What Janice Windler likes about Lai Wah Heen:
Brought my family to try their special dim sum menus, the $55 one is a steal in light of what you get…and the $40 one is just as great. This meal is one of my favourite meals of all time anywhere. Top quality food, service, relaxing atmosphere with plenty of space between tables. They have an excellent XO sauce that goes very well with everything. I love this resto. View all feedback.

Lets face it, dim sum can be a stressful experienceThe waiting, crowds, loud noises and rushed service can all be off-putting.

I'm surprised to read all these contrasting, love-or-hate reviews about Lai Wah Heen as I was fairly impressed with my experience here.

Lai Wah Heen offers a mixed experience when it comes to their food and service. Some diners found the dishes to be disappointing, with small vegetable portions and tough pea shoots. However, others raved about the amazing foie gras fried rice and salt and pepper pork chop. The dim sum selections received mixed reviews, with some praising the lobster shaped dumplings and shrimp and chive dumplings, while others found the Peking duck disappointing. The atmosphere at the restaurant was generally well-received, with a calm and relaxing vibe. Overall, Lai Wah Heen seems to be a hit or miss for guests, with some enjoying the high-quality food and service, while others were left wanting more.
