Found this place by chance - had gone (again) to Grand China but they wouldn't seat me since it was 1:35pm and they closed at 2:30pm - and just started walking and looking. Now Lei Garden will have a repeat customer. I have dim sum often in NYC and SFO so I appreciated their more varied selection from the usual... More

Delicious and exquisite dim sum - quite a pushy waitress recommended a couple of dishes but we didn't mind - she did it so charmingly! High end but good family atmosphere.... will definitely make this a regular haunt once we have moved to Singapore!

Over the last fifteen years we have eaten lunch at many Lei Garden branches in both Singapore and Hong Kong. This is only the second time we ate at Chijmes. We were shown to a table in a row of tables for two in the middle of the large room. We ordered our favorite: roasted chicken with sesame, Hong Kong... More

Chijmes Lei Garden is situated in the Chijmes courtyard area across the road from Raffles City shopping mall (and diagonally opposite a corner of Raffles Hotel ). Went there for Sunday lunch with the family and had mainly dim sum chosen by marking up a paper menu. Also had a couple of other dishes suggested by one of the waitress.... More

We had a great dinner at Lei Garden. Great service and very solid & sophisticated Cantonese food. Great for business entertainment as the service staff ate very attentive. However, it's not cheap so there is no element of value unfortunately. If you can expense it (not paying out from your pocket) and want a great Chinese food then this is... More

We have eaten at Chijmes Lei Garden Restaurant many times and have yet to have had anything less than a great meal. For me, the food served here is as good as it gets. I would highly recommend the steamed bamboo clams in garlic sauce and also the wintermelon soup, which needs to be ordered a day in advance. Those... More

We came here on the recommendation of Trip Advisor. Bad idea. The restaurant was very nice atmosphere, but horribly expensive 184 Singapore dollars without wine. And this was for lunch! The food was average Cantonese ... Certainly not exceptional. The service was over vigilant. They hovered over the table and wisked plates away before you finished. Not a happy experience.

Absolutely charming decor and surrounds. Stunning table flowers and linen etc. Felt very colonial and posh! Prices were OK and food very yummy. We had the Peking duck and it was yummy. The staff were friendly and played with our toddler to keep her entertained.

Staff were excellent, but surprisingly not that used to English-speaking customers.
