Fine dining experience. Two hat restaurant but maybe closer to a one star. Food was good and interesting. Great location. Service was good but not wow for fine dining. Basic decor. Touch high end price vs value.

We had an amazing dinner here for Christmas for six people. The taste of our dishes was truly beyond expectations. In particular, the mussels and the crab dishes were just divine. Wine pairing with seafood was excellent. Well worth every penny.

I saw werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand
Walking through the streets of SoHo in the rain
He was looking for the place called Lee Ho Fooks
For to get a big dish of beef chow mein

Ah-hoo, werewolves of London

You hear him howling around your kitchen door
You better not let him in
Little old lady got mutilated late last night
Werewolves of London again

Ah-hoo, werewolves of London
Ah-hoo
Ah-hoo, werewolves of London
Ah-hoo, huh

He's the hairy handed gent who ran amok in Kent
Lately he's been overheard in Mayfair
You better stay away from him, he'll rip your lungs out Jim
Huh, I'd like to meet his tailor

Ah-hoo, werewolves of London

Well, I saw Lon Chaney walking with the Queen
Doin' the werewolves of London
I saw Lon Chaney Jr.walking with the Queen, uh
Doin' the werewolves of London
I saw a werewolf drinkin' a piña colada at Trader Vic's
His hair was perfect

Ah-hoo, werewolves of London
Hey draw blood
Ah-hoo, werewolves of London

Loved my experience at Lee Ho Fook!
Very elegant, the service was impeccable, beautiful ambiance with perfect lighting. You could see the menu without having to squint your eyes to see.

I did a last minute booking on a weekend and managed to get a table without any issues. The menu was very well explained to us. The price is $$$, very much worth the taste. Beautiful texture and flavours.

The location is fantastic. Very close to car park spots, multiple bars nearby if you want to carry on with drinks and a dance.

I really enjoyed it and will be going back with my friends. Would love everyone to experience fine dining at a great price.

Do not order the banquet. You will not get the right amount of servings for each person. We had 5 people and were left hungry. Food is nothing special. We went to Hungry Jacks afterward even though we spent over $250.

Had the set menu here, for the price is was really good value. Most hatted restaurants these days would be 250+ per person, I found the price pretty reasonable. Also the serving sizes were huge. Flavors were awesome, service was excellent, can't fault it.

Eggplant is a killer, can't go wrong with Peking duck, the fried rice in the crab broth was epic too.

Three of us attended the restaurant after hearing good things. We ordered the Sichuan Bang Bang Chicken Salad, a serving for 3 - the serving is large and if having other items I would suggest a smaller serve. The salad itself was tasty but very salty, it also contained jellyfish which is not listed on the menu. The pork and chive dumplings were okay, nothing special. We ordered the Pork Belly only to be told they had sold out, waiter then attempted to upsell a main which was double the price. Received a serving of the crispy eggplant, which we did not order. A fault of the waiter and it was offered complimentary. It was way too sweet for our liking. On a positive note, the Lee Ho Fook Pecking Duck was nice, but nothing to rave about. Overall, small servings and average food, flavours were good but I wouldn’t come back in a hurry.

Yunnan milk curd and scallops were our favorites of the night. The salted garlic chives paired wonderfully with the milk curd, allowing you to savor the freshness of the garlic chives. As for the scallops, the combination of king brown mushrooms and black fungi added a complexity of textures to the dish. The prawn toast and bang bang chicken salad were also very enjoyable.

The Peking duck had incredibly crispy skin, and the meat was cooked to perfection. However, both the crispy eggplant and wagyu steak were overly salty, and we had to drink a lot of water to finish those dishes.

The night we dined was a bit cold, and we could feel the cold air coming in from somewhere. The heater wasn't turned on until we had almost finished our dinner.

The service was a bit inconsistent. I was asked if I needed another drink, but when I declined, my empty glass should have been promptly removed. It wasn't until later when several dishes were served together on our small table that I had to pick up the glass to make room for the dishes.

Every dish was just delicious! Steamed toothfish is an absolute must! The biggest surprise of the night was the jasmine infused custard with burnt caramel. This was served in a tea cup, perfect touch of sweetness to end the night.

Very disappointed with our first dining experience at Lee Ho Fook. The deliver of food was slow and exhausting. We ordered soft drinks which came after our main course! The lobster noodles were salty and soggy. Wait staff were not attentive, instead were more keen on seating incoming groups. The wait between our entree and main were at least 35 mins! A huge disappointment for such a well known establishment. Won’t be coming back again.

Incredible experience! My friend and I came here for dinner and we had the best time. The service was friendly, helpful and went the extra mile to make us comfortable - Joyce in part was fantastic. The atmosphere was beautiful and comfortable and stylish and the food was to die for. The crispy eggplant in particular was spectacular. Would highly recommend!

Amazing food and even better service. We booked the
weekend Yum Cha and were served by Henrietta and Bec, both of whom were incredibly professional, kind and knowledgeable.

Highly recommend. Our thanks, Shane and Shannon

This place is hands down the best restaurant I've ever been to. Great service and the best food I've ever had the pleasure of eating.

Exceptional is a big word but highly warranted in this case. From the personable service to the the show stopper Crayfish noodle main! Need I say more! (before and after shots).

Started fairly strong and we were super excited. The first 4 treasues dish was amazing, fresh and great flavors. Sadly not all the dishes were as amazing with some hit and misses. The eggplant dish which the waitress pushed us to get was very disappointing. What was even more disappointing was she pushed us to order this dish saying its the most popular dish there without us asking for a recommendation, and the dish was very spicey and I was with my 8yr old. Most other people would have warned against spicey dishes being ordered, let alone recommend it. When I mentioned the dish was very spicey, there wasn't any apology. Which started to let down the night. Clearly sitting at the bar and noticing all the dishes come out. Nobody else had ordered the eggplant and they probably just wanted to get rid of it. The most popular dish by far was the 4 treasures, which was very good.
Most of the other dishes we had were ok. If we were to return would definitely get the 4 treasures again along with some new dishes to try.

By far the best duck I’ve ever had! Every dishes are awesome! But the duck is too impressive! Didn’t know you can make it so crispy yet so juicy at the same time! I will be returning and highly recommend for everyone! The staffs are extremely friendly as well. They also introduce each dishes for you. Very nice dining experience!

Fine dining Chinese food, in a fancy modern format. Very easy to spend too much money here! Everything was tasty, but I especially loved the fried eggplant and dumplings.

Dined here with the exclusive 8 course set menu. Honestly, it was not too bad but nothing special. Most of the items were soy based with hints of ginger and tasted fairly similar to each other. Service was good, no complaints there. Probably a good introductory place to Chinese cuisine however, was a little basic to our palette and hence, we found it overpriced. Another downside was the awful smell of sewage that greeted us at the entrance to the restaurant which threw us off a little. Quite unfortunate as we were pretty excited to try this place out.
