The food was terrific and the service was great except I booked on open table - arrived on time - let the service person know I booked on open table and the following day I get an email that I did not show up and was further advised that 4 no shows and your account is suspended. I appreciate that some may not be courteous enough to let a restaurant know they changed their mind and not show up - but the reality here is that we did show up and on time. There had to be a better way to confirm guest arrive as noted in their reservation. But for this I would have rated the service higher.

Most dishes were very tasty and each dish was distinctively flavoured. The passion fruit custard dessert was exquisite and an excellent way to finish a large meal. The wait staff was responsive and the physical space, large and airy, was very comfortable. Background music was not distracting.

Love Lee Chen Asian bistro mainly for the xiao long bao soup-filled pork dumplings (which are amazing), the chive/onion pancake and the honey beer! Everything we’ve tried has been great but those are the standouts for me. Perfect for a couple to try a few plates to share, or even better with a group. Attentive friendly service too...Highly recommend.
