Lai Wah Heen Restaurant

If you’re looking for a traditional yet elevated dimsum experience, you have found the right place! Everything about LWH is a few steps above the norm, from the ambience and quality of service to the complexity and quality ingredients.

By a long mile, this is the best service we have ever received from a dimsum restaurant. We enjoyed the flavour profile and refined approach to traditional dishes, which completed the experience for us.

If you’re in the area, definitely don’t miss out!

Reasonable prices, perfect portions, high quality food!

Very great service as servers explained what type of food is in each dish so our table was aware what we were eating! Kuddos to your team and always a pleasure to eat there especially you peking duck dish

Always our best Chinese dining experience in Toronto

Very good food and service. Free parking.

So great to be back. Fabulous food and service as always. Best Chinese in Toronto hands down.

I used to live in hong kong, every time i am in Toronto i make sure to have time for a meal at LWH because this is the closest i have found in Canada. Extensive menu, all the classics superbly executed with amazing consistency. Don’t let the DoubleTree’s lobby put you off, cross the restaurant’s threshold and you are in an elegant, upscale, quiet setting. One of the best worldwide.

Service was very good and quick

Excellent food and service, and good portions. We had the MooShu, Prawns with pomelo sauce, duckling, and Singapore noodles. Still the best Chinese in Toronto, at least in downtown.

Joseph our server was excellent. We are coming back

Some of the best Dim Sum in the city of Toronto. Always consistent and delicious, high attention to detail, beautiful space and very safe during these covid times.

Fantastic service, fantastic food. Can't wait to go back!

The high quality food and service is what distinguishes this restaurant from the others. Had a special birthday dinner and all our guests some of whom were first timers, and they just loved the food, especially the Peking Duck, pomelo jumbo shrimp, and the amazingly fresh lobster with vermicelli dish. Great value for the quality. Will definitely be back.

Suggest the restaurants to ask health screening questions at the time of entry to the dining room via an App or actual response at the door.

Delicious dim sum though portion is a bit small and pricey. They are now offering 15% discount on all dim sum and Chinese cuisine which attracts me to enjoy a lunch there.

We love this restaurant!!!!!! So elegant awesome service and upscale.

Excellent experience. They did a wonderful job with social distancing. The service was fantastic, and the Peking duck was the best I have had in a long while.

Happy they are back, Dim Sum was outstanding. It appears they used the down time to get even better. There is no doubt that they are the best in the GTA. Great food and service, beautiful room, great location and parking on site.

Our favorite Pekin duck go to restaurant while in the neighbourhood . A wonderful choice of unusual tea.
Looking forward to our next visit.

Best dim sum I’ve had would recommend to anyone.

Wonderful Dim Sum and beautifully presented for our party of five at a work lunch. Highly recommended, we have been there twice. It is a bit more than some places but still very reasonable and worth it.

We had a lovely luncheon at Lai Wah Heen. We’ve been there a few times and the food and service did not disappoint.
Would highly recommend it as it’s probably the best dim sum place in TO!

Wonderful ambiance and service, very professional and welcoming. Food was delicious, and well presented.

The ambience was perfect for a business lunch.
The stuff were attentive and courteous and kept the tea pot full frequently.
Good variety of vegetarian food.
Had the usual shrimp dumpling, spring rolls, sticky rice warp. We also ordered the rice roll with assorted mushrooms which were a bit hard to the bite. Otherwise all dim sum we had were excellent.
Did not see any coat rack or coat checking facility. Bring heavy winner coats into the such a restaurant and hanging over the back of the chairs is quiet unsightly.

Been to Lai Wah Heen a few times over the years. Took a relative who has lived in Shanghai for many years and loves dim sum.

This visit did not stand out as one of the best.
Most dishes arrived at the same time and were not as piping hot as we remember them to be in the past.
For a Saturday lunch the restaurant was not nearly as busy as we have experienced in the past. Sadly the coronavurus must take the blame for that.

Consistently well-prepared food. We have come here to celebrate Xhinese New Year for my years - always reliable. Excellent attentive service and quiet ambiance - where else can you hear yourself talk!

High end Chinese & fusion menu, fantastic light flavours! Service as always efficient but not in your face. If you want to taste Cantonese specialties but also like foiegras and truffles, you’re at the right place ! Highly recommended!

A very nice meal in a quiet setting. Excellent service.

We went there to celebrate Lunar New Year. The highlight of our meal was Peking Duck, it was delicious and beautifully presented. The service was impeccable. I will definitely come again and recommend it to friends.

Always such a great experience and the best dim sum I’ve ever head. Their reputation of best in North America stands true year after year!

Best dim sum in all of Toronto!! And great service!!

Wasn’t enough waiter to service customer. Food was decent but overpriced for what you can normally pay for in another restaurant. I would suggest them hiring more waiters

Amazing food, great service, very good value.
Dumplings and Peking duck were outstanding - need to come back again to try other dishes.

new years day lunch

The food was fabulous, and so was the service. The prices are on the higher side, but worth it in my opinion. Its a good place to go with a group and split the food and bill. Not ideal for a date.

Quality and value of food is great.
Service is excellent.
Parking can be hard to find depends on time of the day.

We had Peking duck for 8 on Christmas Day. The food and service were superb, and the price very reasonable.

Great service and food. The Peking Duck was delicious. Thanks for a great meal on Christmas Day

Nothing special, at an elevated price level. Can get the same quality of food in Chinatown for significantly less. The room is very hotel-restaurant. Service is weak. Have only ever heard great things, but our experience can’t confirm them.

Looking for more flavor...Cantonese noodles were poor, mushroom bokchoy pretty good.
Peking duck very good.
Expectations much higher.
