In 2010, the restaurant's homemade XO sauce was listed as the 'Best condiment' on the Hong Kong Best Eats 2010 list compiled by CNN Travel.[5]

Lung King Heen was added to Forbes Travel Guide's list of 5 stars restaurants in January 2014.[6]

History

Chef Chan Yan-tak had spent part of his culinary career as a sous-chef — and after one year, executive chef — at Lai Ching Heen in the Regent Hong Kong (now the InterContinental Hong Kong) since 1984.[7] However, after the death of his wife, he retired in 2000 to help take care of his children.[8] However, Chan was persuaded by his colleague from the Regent, general manager Alan Tsui, to come out of retirement to help the Four Seasons establish a Cantonese restaurant.[8]
