Lai Hong Lounge is a captivating dim sum destination that blends tradition and innovation. The Dim Sum menu offers all the classic items, executed exceptionally well and deliciously. The dinner menu features an array of delights, from the iconic Peking duck with buns to the soul-warming soup, the spicy Dan Li Seafood Clay Pot, and the lightly fried seabass with shredded green onions. Diners can also indulge in fresh oysters, flavorful lily bulb soup, and the refreshing herbal Jello dessert. The standout Baked BBQ Pork Buns, with their sweet-crusted buns stuffed with BBQ goodness, are worth the visit. The friendly staff ensures a pleasant experience, with no language barriers for customers.
Customers praise the plentiful and tasty dishes, the fast service, and the reasonable prices. One reviewer describes the restaurant as "easily the best dim sum place" they've experienced in the US, with complex yet balanced flavors and textures in every dish. The atmosphere is charming and familial, and the service is well-oiled even during the busiest hours. Arriving early on weekends is recommended to avoid the wait.
