利苑酒家 (灣仔)

Lei Garden was founded in 1973 in Hong Kong. Since then, it has grown into one of the largest Cantonese restaurant groups in Asia, with 17 restaurants across Hong Kong, mainland China and Singapore.

Lei Garden’s consistently high quality, nouvelle Cantonese cuisine and contemporary interpretations of regional specialties has earned the Group numerous awards and accolades.

利苑酒家 (灣仔), a Cantonese and dim sum restaurant in Wan Chai, is at 1/F, CNT Tower, 338 Hennessy Rd, Wan Chai, Hong Kong Island. Before heading over it is worth checking the hours, phone number and Google rating below, so the trip is not wasted. The address puts it on an upper floor of a building (an "upstairs shop", very common in Hong Kong), so note the floor and unit number; lifts can be slow at busy times, and some older buildings only have stairs.

When choosing a restaurant, check whether the menu shows prices and the service charge, whether you need to book, and whether there are vegetarian or children's options. Restaurants must hold a licence from the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department, usually displayed inside. Lunar New Year, Mother's Day, Christmas and New Year's Eve are peak booking times, and some restaurants offer set menus or add a surcharge on festive days, so ask ahead.

Google lists the opening hours as Thu–Fri 11:30–16:00 and 18:00–22:30. That makes 2 working days a week. There is a break between the lunch and dinner sessions. Arrangements may differ on public holidays, over Lunar New Year and when a typhoon signal No. 8 or above or a black rainstorm warning is in force, so call before making a special trip. You can call 2892 0333; a phone call is the quickest way to ask about availability, prices or how to get there. More information is on its website, leigarden.hk.

Google shows an average rating of 4.0 out of 5; the number of reviews is not given, so skim the latest comments before visiting.

Wan Chai is part of the Wan Chai District on Hong Kong Island. The north shore of Hong Kong Island is one of the densest business areas in the city: the MTR Island Line runs from Kennedy Town to Chai Wan, the trams ("ding dings") between Kennedy Town and Shau Kei Wan, and many businesses trade from upper floors of office blocks and older tenement buildings. The south side is known for beaches, trails and fishing harbours such as Repulse Bay, Stanley and the Aberdeen typhoon shelter, which get busy at weekends and on public holidays.
