Where do I start? The view of Victoria harbor/Hong Kong skyline from my table was unbelievable! Match that with post dinner light show and this was a great night! I enjoyed the food and the staff was excellent. read more

Amazing restaurant, fabulous service and superlative view. Yan Toh Heen was recommend by a friend. It is located in the Intercontinental hotel in Victoria Harbour in TST. We did not know it was a 2 star Michelin restaurant, and I was a bit apprehensive at the beginning, because we did not want to spend too much money on food on this trip. Upon our request, we were seated right in front of the Harbour view and were able to see the light show that start around 8pm. The most beautiful view of HK at night! We opted not to order the duck, which needs to be ordered 24 hour in advance and although I am sure quite delicious is quite pricy (HK$1,438+10%). Reservation in this place is a must! Highlights were the Wok-fried Wagyu with Green Peppers, Mushrooms and Garlic, Wok-seared Chicken Fillet with Lemon Sauce The server was so kind as to give us half servings so we could "sample" some of the more expensive items, add fried rice for substitution with the meat dishes and free desert. This flexibility in providing half portion and substitution is something i've rarely experience in a Michelin restaurant. Overall, we payed $US240 (1,900 Hong Kong Dollar) which includes the 10% service charge for two people for a michelin 2 star restaurant for an unforgettable meal! If I return to HK, I will definitely come back and try their dim sum. read more

2* Michelin restaurant located in the Intercontinental Hotel with beautiful views of Victoria Harbor. Still one of, in not, my favorite upscale Chinese restaurant. Their complimentary glazed walnut snacks and dried seafood in XO sauce are delicious. There crispy pork is absolutely delicious and their sweet and sour pork is still my standard for the dish. All in all, have not had a disappointing experience eating here. read more

What a true disappointment on so many levels. We had picked Yan Toh Heen for dinner because of all the hype and because with two Michelin stars it had to be amazing. Rather than amazing, it was a true disappointment. First, the quality of the food was not great. The waygu Beef was tough and the least flavorful we ever eaten. Second, none of the dishes were particularly memorable. All were bland and rather tasteless. Third, and most importantly, the service was simply awful. We sat for well over 30 minutes after we finished our main courses without our waiter coming over. When we asked a busboy to send over our waiter or a manager, a manager quickly came over and asked if there was a problem. We told him that we had finished our main courses well over 30 minutes before and that our had waiter had disappeared. He apologized and immediately went away. We assumed to get the waiter or a dessert menu. Instead he reappeared two minutes later with our bill. When we said that we had never been offered coffee or tea or dessert, he became extremely annoyed and told us that we hadn't told him that we wanted coffee. We told him that we didn't want coffee, but that we thought he would at least offer us a look at the dessert menu. He did not, instead he simply stood there with the bill which we paid and left. While it was the end of the evening, there were still other guests in the restaurant. It was clear that the manager felt that offering us coffee, tea and dessert was beneath his role and was clearly annoyed. He should have been annoyed at his waiter, not at us. This was the worst treatment we have ever received at a Michelin starred restaurant. You have been warned!!! read more

This is a Michelin rated restaurant at the Intercontinental Hotel, which is on the harbor front in Kowloon and has a gorgeous unobstructed view of Hong Kong. We went there for lunch to have dim sum and I enjoyed it immensely. Although I believe that the Michelin rating in Hong Kong is dubious at best (see my review of Bo Innovation), this is a solid restaurant that didn't disappoint. My wife and I arrived early and even though the restaurant wasn't opened yet, the hostess invited us to have a seat on the plush couch outside the doors of the restaurant and brought us some tea while we waited. Inside, the decor was clean, crisp and immaculate. The waiters were polite and earnest despite the language barrier. We sat down and ordered 5 dim sum dishes as well as a noodle dish. The waiter instructed us that he would bring out the 3 dishes first and then follow it up with the final 2 dishes plus noodles, which he split and served for us (so we wouldn't make a mess). I'm not sure what it was, but these gestures resonated for me. I'll admit, I already had fantastic dim sum for a fraction of the price at other restaurants in Hong Kong, but these guys really tried to make it special. The shrimp dumplings were shaped like little goldfish and the iberco ham conpoy were were sitting on a lotus leaf so as to resemble plump cartoonish caterpillars. Knowing that it was our anniversary, they came out with a little chocolate cake at the end of the meal and took a polaroid of us. SinceI haven't seen a polaroid camera in forever I thought it was hilarious. Finally, they gave us some tea in small hand-held cases as parting gifts. All-in-all, this was quite the reception for what I thought was going to be a simple dim sum meal. Although you pay more, it is also a stark contrast to the typical drab and bland experiences at more traditional dim sum places. read more

Yan Toh Heen is my absolute favourite restaurant in HK. Apparently they were located on the opposite end of the hotel a couple of years ago but the new location within the hotel is absolutely phenomenal. The food is amazing and the service is wonderful (Arguably, the best view in HK). It is the only restaurant I have ever been to with a Tea Sommelier (Kelvin) who is so knowledgeable and always knows just what to recommend (tea AND food). Don't let the fancy menu scare you. If you talk to the wait staff and let them know what type of food you like, they can help you navigate the menu so that you have an amazing meal and Yan Toh Heen will become 1 of your favourites too!! There are both set menus as well as a la carte. Like with most places in Hong Kong, reservations are recommended or you for sure won't be able to find a place to sit down on the weekends. read more

Is this restaurant truly worthy of its Michelin stars? There's no doubt that the dishes use fine ingredients, setting is pretty and service is attentive (6 people walked me to the restroom!). But for 5 star dining I expect knock your socks off cuisine. There wasn't anything standout. And a couple of the dishes (grouper, crunchy vegetables) were repeats of the buffet meal we had had at our hotel meeting room that day. read more

Okay. It is that time of the week. Fine-dining here we go again. Today I went to Yan Toh Heen inside InterContinental Hotel and that place I am telling you has the most refined Cantonese cuisine with excellent service. Yan Toh Heen was once called Lai Jing Heen before, which served the most elite level of Cantonese Dining. And over the years, this place has only got better and has won several Michelin stars and rightly so. The staff are very informative and have great knowledge of every dish. Worry not. They are not those that come off as trying to up sell you their dishes. The service is sophisticated and never too pushy, approachable and nice. If you allow me, I would recommend you the Superior Dumplings. And honestly those are one of my best dim sum experiences ever. But actually, nothing goes wrong in this place. It is THAT GOOD. If anything, Yan Toh Heen definitely sets a very high benchmark for refined Chinese food. Since mid-Autumn Festival is fast approaching, it is that time of the year where we all struggle to choose the perfect mooncakes for this festival season. If you come to Yan Toh Heen now, there is a very great chance you may get a free sampling. And I did. There were three types of flavor - egg-yolk white lotus seed paste Mooncake, Egg Custard Mooncake (My favourite) and also Chinese ham (Salami) Mooncake. They are certainly not cheap and I was so excited to be able to sample all those free of charge! read more

A friend of mine recommended this place when I told her we are going to Hong Kong for Chinese New Year. We also happened to stay at Intercontinental HK so this was nice because we just walked over. I made reservation online 3 weeks prior to arrival and someone immediately contacted me to go over the menu and recommended a few things like the Beijing Duck but since there are only two of us we decided not to try because its too much for two people . Maybe we will try next time if we come with more people. We decided to try their lunch menu. Ordered a few dim sum items and chose their special lunch menu. Food is excellent and their service is top notch. They also gave us a very cute chocolate cake for our anniversary and some cute tea packages as a gift. We will come back here next time to try their dinner . I highly recommend this Michelin star restaurant if you want to celebrate or treat yourself to a nice meal . I was very pleased read more

Best Beijing Duck Full Stop. I used to live in Beijing and tried the 'famous' places, tried the 'local places'-- this is better than anything. This is how duck should taste. Good wine list. Nice departing gift. read more

We came here for lunch. Located in the intercontinental, formerly the Regent. The restaurant has undergone extensive refurbishment while the hotel will be in the coming 2 years. This is badly needed for an establishment which claims to be one of the top hotels in Hong Kong. The decor of the one Michelin star restaurant is elegant as well as the table setting. The wine list is very extensive covering all parts of the world. They even have a special list with rare vintages of the premier wines from Burgundy and Bordeaux. Unfortunately the wines are extremely expensive, starting from 4 times up to 10 times what you normally would pay at wine merchants. The service of the staff doesn't reflect the class of the restaurant unfortunately. In one word it's mediocre. It's slow, not attentive and the attitude needs a lot of improvement. The food on the other hand is excellent although pricey. For lunch they offer a good variety of dim sum including all the favorites. Presentation is very good. Apart from this they also have a lot of other specialties. My favorites were the braised wagyu beef cheek and the baked Portuguese seafood rice. And don't miss out on the BBQ pork. It would have been a five star experience if the service was better. read more

My friend and I came here for lunch, as her mom so generously booked the new 2-star Michelin restaurant for us. We walked in, plastic coffee cups in hand, and were quickly greeted by a waiter who took our cups and dumped them into elegant glasses to preserve the sophisticated air of the restaurant. We were seated promptly and ordered a few dishes: Pros: -We started off with a plate of ROASTED DUCK AND TARO BUNS, one of my favorite dishes of the day. The buns are topped off with a sugary crust and stuffed with delicious, tender roast duck and sweet taro -Our waiter recommended the CRISPY SHRIMP AND AVOCADO DUMPLINGS, an unconventional but yummy take on dimsum. The medley of crunchy shrimp and creamy avocado worked well with the crispy, pan-fried dumpling shell -We also ordered the SOFT-SHELL BAKED CRAB. This was my favorite plate of the night - the creamy, tender crab was served in its own shell, topped off with a golden breading that added a nice crunch to the plate -My friend and I are both avid lovers of turnip cake, so we also ordered the XO TURNIP CAKE. Traditionally, turnip cake is served in large, rectangular slices with a bit of bacon. What I enjoyed about this dish was that it was sliced up in cubes, then fried with bacon, XO chili sauce, pickled vegetable, and scrambled egg Cons: -I ordered the PORK AND CRAB ROE DUMPLING, which was basically a fancy name for shu mai, something that I didn't register at the time. The plate itself was very standard read more

We dined at Yan Toh Heen on October 18 during a two plus week trip to Hong Kong and China. The setting was beautiful, the service excellent, but Michelin worthy? Not for us. Our traveling companions said this wouldn't make their Chinese takeout list back in the US. I appreciate our waiter steering me away from being too adventurous with sea cucumber, but we heard no recommendations on house specialties or items we might like. Nothing we did order really made an lasting impression on the four of us. It was just okay. read more

The restaurant is in the Intercontinental hotel and has a great view of Victoria Harbor. My husband and I went for our anniversary. The staff was very accommodating to my husband being vegan and also built a giant fruit snowman because all he wanted for dessert was fresh fruit. Seriously, their service goes above and beyond! The food is amazing as well. They were able to customize the dishes we ordered to make them vegan. read more

We went here in Dec. 2017. It was tough to get a reservation, but we managed to score one on our final night in Hong Kong. When we arrived we were greeted with excellent service and was directed to a table with an excellent view of Hong Kong. I started off with a crab and creamed corn soup, which was OK. When I go back I'll try a different starter. For my main course I ordered the wok fried wagyu filet mignon with a side of steamed rice. It was excellent. I've had Wagyu beef before, but never prepared in a wok. The meat was more tender than other wagyu filet mignon dishes that I've had. The meal also come with a selection of small pastries for dessert. Some were good some were not, but since it was free I didn't mind. If you go (and I recommend you do), definitely try the wok fried filet mignon. read more

Generally rated as the finest Cantonese cuisine in the world, and I would agree. Beautiful decor and views. The service is so attentive that, if the staff notices that you are left handed, like me, they move the chopsticks to the left of the plate. read more

5 for the food. 3 for the service. Even on an empty afternoon the staff were incredibly inattentive and kept bringing us dishes we did not order. We spent 600 a head for dimsum, noodles and main dish which seems reasonable for the quality and taste. read more

One of the best culinary experiences of my life! Wow wow wow! I had the business set menu for lunch and it was life changing. Granted, this was my first true meal in Hong Kong, but everything from the black chicken to the beef to the dessert was on point. The dumplings? Sweet Lord they were cherry on top of a great meal. Be prepared to pay for this experience, but in my eyes, it was worth it. Treat Your Self! read more

The dishes do not have the presentation of a 2 star Michelin restaurant. The server brought sauces but didn't explain what the sauces were. They brought out our meal but also did not explain. Food was good but nothing spectacular. Service was good but no where near Michelin standards for a 2 star restaurant. My husband and I have ate at 3 2 and 1 star restaurants in United States definitely not up to par. read more

First rate dim sum worthy of its Michelin stars. The service is impeccable, too. I've eaten here four times now, and it is definitely one of my favorites. The only caveat is to avoid weekend lunch if you're at all adverse to eating amid crying babies. read more
