Wowwww had the set menu and am blown away! The balance of flavours, spice/heat and textures is phenomenal, really impressive menu. The baby cucumber starter is the perfect example of what happens when everything is perfectly balanced.
Standouts were the baby cucumber, prawn toast and red bean/cacao dessert due to their unique twists.
The signature tea was the perfect accompaniment.
The service was also amazing with very attentive staff.
Highly recommend!
P.s. forgot to take a photo of the crispy eggplant before shoving it in my mouth lol but that was also delicious

Exceptional! From walking in the door - the service was fantastic.
We seated at the bar and watched the chefs perform their magic and present perfect courses. We enjoyed the banquet, which included aged duck, lobster with xo sauce and wagyu beef.
The evening was definitely a celebration of food!

It’s a place that’s tucked away in plain sight. Wander through their doors sans up a flight of stairs and there’s the “Lee Ho Fook” sign staring back at you. The setting is intimate but inviting and the staff give you a with tie off the menu and drinks available 👍🏻

Our food:
~ Prawn Toast with Sea Urchin
~ Crispy Eggplant with spiced red vinegar
~ Fujian Fried Rice
~ Roast Pork Belly & Charsiu glazed Pork Jowl

The food was amazing and that crispy eggplant is definitely something everyone needs to try - they just do it so nicely 🤤
.
I was surprised that the sea urchin on the prawn toast was pretty fresh with no oceany taste. It’s creamy & compliments the prawn toast itself pretty well 👌🏻
.
All in all, not a bad dish experienced and loved all the food 😇

Overall a nice dining experience and the food was tasty. We had the scallops, eggplant, half Peking duck and duck hot pot. Duck in both dishes was succulent. Servings were pretty good for the price but wine was very expensive. Service was friendly and attentive. Food came out quickly, but it was a quiet night probably cos of the bad weather. We enjoyed our evening sitting at the chef's table and watching the chefs in the kitchen.

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.

Love Peking duck cooked this way. Nice and fresh unlike other roast duck. The rest were fresh and good Something for special occasions or day to reward yourself
