“ So glad I went out of my way to drop in at Lei Garden... it has a Michelin star which is what got my attention, but the look of the pics online kept it because it looked lovely! We went for an impromptu dinner right around when they opened one night. The interior is open, spacious and lovely! The staff were also quite helpful; most of them did not speak English very well but they were still able to explain the menu quite well and they were very attentive - I appreciated them very much! Quick note about reservations here: it was a bit of a research project to find the menu and figure out reservations but basically on the site there is a WhatsApp number that you literally text with your group details and time to make a res. The menu is a pdf online, it's challenging to find but it gives you a run down of most of their options. The menu itself when there was actually longer though! My mom and I weren't that hungry when we went because we'd had a big lunch, and the amount we ordered was just right: we got the bbq pork, mixed dragon veggies (that was new to me, had never heard of it), the grouper fish dish, and I ordered a large scallop as well. The flavors of everything especially the bbq pork were superb - and I loved the scallop! It was a simple meal but it hit just right. The veg added the balance that all the protein needed, so we were quite satisfied. Overall I would say for a Michelin restaurant in Singapore the prices are also on the lower-ish side (relatively speaking), so if you aren't terribly hungry and want a "cheaper" Michelin experience, Leí garden is a great option! For the record though, including tax etc we probably spent 111.51 SGD which is like $86 USD between two people? So it is by no means cheap, but just less than other Michelin spots. If you're looking for a lighter meal and really want a Michelin experience - this is a good option! The nearby bars have cute happy hours too, we hung out for a drink at Duomo across the pavilion after. Made for a lovely start to the evening :) ”

“ The food was very good. Service was also good and ambience was lovely. It was located in a shopping center in the Bay Area. ”

“ Has been here at least more than 10 times. The food is really delicious! It's not fusion Chinese food, it stays to it's Origin and at it's VERY best. I had dim sum and I appreciate that it's not fusion food, not trying to put Truffle oil in every dish. Instead it's a Traditional taste, with the best cooking technique and Fresh ingredients. For me that's a winner. Service staff is efficient and though short handed , I can feel the sincerity in making the service good. We also had the Peking duck but honestly not very nice. Try their other dishes, which are all spot on! I would Recommend this restaurant, It's one of the Best "Non-fusion" Chinese restaurant. ”

“ Peking Duck is delicious , truffle fried rice and fish must try ! Escalopes and veggies are fresh ! My favorite is side cucumber dish too. Love the pomelo mangoes dessert ! We had a big table but NO ROTATING TRAY ! The service is good . HAPPY to have the toilet on the same floor ! Shall be back ! ”

“ My friends took me to eat dim sum here. Love this place!!! Yummy Pecking duck! Yummy winter melon soup(not on the menu)! Yummy all the different type of dumplings. This restaurant is a keeper!!! ”

“ 3.5 stars. Upscale 1-michelin star Chinese cuisine in Singapore. We went there for Chinese New Year and went for their Chinese New Year set dinner. Experience was solid good. Food was overall quite good but not spectacular. Favorite dishes were the chicken, Lo Hei, and the fish. Quality of ingredients and excellent and the food was well-cooked but don't' think it was worth the $200/pax given the lack of wow factor. Set was quite big and we were all stuffed by the end of the meal ”

“ Despite the uneven reviews, we went for brunch...and are so glad we did! The building and the entire Cjimes complex are visually appealing and harken back to times long past. The room is well spaced, with a comfortable feeling (see pic). The food was absolutely delicious. We had a half Peking duck which yielded ten little pancakes in which slivers of the skin and meat were nestled. As with most purveyors, the remaining meat was then taken back to the kitchen to turn into a polished fried rice dish (we could have opted for noodles). We also enjoyed: - Roasted crispy pork. These crispy little cubes were absolute heaven! I ordered the same thing later that day at another well known restaurant...no where near as good as these were. I could easily opt for a big plate of these for my last supper - Fried silver fish. If it weren't for their tiny black eyes, you would assume a plate of Mickey D's fries! - Flaky pastry with shredded turnip in a crazily shaped dough - Steamed Shanghainese dumplings (nearly impossible to coral onto the serving spoon or grab with the sticks...you might ask for a fork, particularly if you're in a hurry) - Panfried stuffed red chili, green chili and eggplant ...There was NOT a miss in the bunch! While I feel we were well served, I can appreciate some of the service related comments offered by other yelpers. While hard working, staff could be a bit "smoother around the edges," and interactions were sometimes abrupt. They were constantly ensuring our tea cups were full...if I were a bit more jet lagged I might had minded the frequency. Language was uneven across the staff, such using the wrong word or our needing to repeat..but, again, we really didn't mind. To the contrary one of our many servers was very polished and extremely customer focused, having done a great job. Among a myriad of duties (including rolling a table through the dining room), he was on point for the Peking duck experience! I can only speak to the midday dim sum experience, but we feel this was a home run and a memorable experience...a definite recommend. ”

“ This place is exquisite! I can definitely understand why it is a Michelin-starred restaurant. It is within walking distance from city hall/raffles city areas. It is located in a little "restaurant village" called the chijmes. The outside area is a beautiful garden theme. You will walk in to an elegant building where they will escort you to your table either downstairs or upstairs. There are very many exotic yet edible sea creatures in tanks stacked in three rows towards the end of the downstairs dining room. The servers are a little familiar with the English language; however, most items in the menu are pictured as well so ordering isn't too bad of a task. Food was wonderful- each dish was refreshingly tasty. They also have an in-house restroom, which is also a perk. I would definitely try this restaurant again! ”

“ Michelin star restaurant #2. The good first: Excellent selection of Cantonese food which you will not find in usual Chinese restaurants. A large dining area which means you can actually get a seat here (as opposed to most 10-15 seater places with stars which are booked out months ahead). Loved the braised pork in chinese wine, and the braised vegetables which included some unknown to me veggies but with excellent texture. Also got the crab dumplings which were ok. The bad: The service wasn't up to the standards I was expecting from a Michelin star place. Very unattentive, not refilling your water, taking forever to give the drinks, also they were not able to explain a lot of the dishes very well. ”

“ Very good Chinese food with excellent service. I came here one night for business dinner and really enjoyed their food and service. My business partner pre-ordered dinner so I don't know how much it was but it seemed high end Chinese restaurant. Great selection of wine by bottle, wide variety, it was easy to find what I liked. Everything chosen for me that night was excellent. Peking duck was crisp with great flavor, pork, tofu, soup... all was excellent. I didn't see the menu and the server spoke mostly in Chinese so I didn't quite get the name of food. Service was excellent, she was attentive, served next food just when we were finishing one, kept coming back to pour more wine, changed a plate for each dish served. I likes they prepared two chopsticks, black one is to pick food from shared plate and white one to eat from your plate. It was a pleasant evening with great food. Highly recommend for business dinner. ”
