About

Li Yen, located on the second floor of The Ritz-Carlton in Kuala Lumpur, delivers an exceptional dining experience that embodies the essence of authentic Cantonese cuisine. The restaurant's opulent interior features intricate embroidered wall paneling, elegant semi-circular velvet banquettes, and refined bronze-framed mirrors, creating a sophisticated and inviting ambiance.


Guided by Executive Chinese Chef Alex Au, the menu masterfully blends traditional flavors with modern presentation. Guests can savor specialties like honey-glazed BBQ Iberico pork, perfectly roasted goose, and an array of handcrafted dim sum. The culinary approach often spotlights a key ingredient prepared in multiple styles, offering diners a rich and memorable gastronomic journey.


Li Yen is particularly celebrated for its dim sum, a highlight of its offerings, which includes an impressive assortment of steamed and fried dumplings, fluffy buns, and other bite-sized delights. The honey-glazed BBQ Iberico pork, with its tender texture and harmonious sweet and savory notes, is a must-try. Equally lauded is the roast goose, renowned for its crispy skin and flavorful, juicy meat.


For an exclusive dining experience, the restaurant features seven private dining rooms that cater to groups from eight to thirty guests, making it an ideal choice for intimate family gatherings and celebratory events.


With its unwavering dedication to quality and authenticity, Li Yen has earned a prestigious place in the MICHELIN Guide, solidifying its reputation as one of Kuala Lumpur's premier destinations for Cantonese fine dining.
