London’s beloved China Tang, the exquisite Cantonese dining institution founded by the late Sir David Tang at The Dorchester, has made its long-awaited Middle Eastern debut. Nestled along The Lana, Dubai – Dorchester Collection Promenade, this landmark arrival marks a significant culinary moment for the region, blending the glamour of Shanghai Art Deco with the time-honoured flavours of southern China.
Behind the stoves is Guangzhou-born Head Chef Li Zhenjun, whose 25-year culinary journey through five-star kitchens brings depth, finesse and reverence to every plate. His signature dishes, from the richly layered Hot and Sour Soup to the theatrically carved Signature Beijing Duck, strike a harmonious balance between authenticity and contemporary indulgence. Not to be missed are Dubai exclusives like the Honey-Glazed Beef Char Siu and Foie Gras Cherries, thoughtfully created for this global stage.
The interiors evoke the opulence of 1930s Shanghai, lacquered panels, gold trims, and geometric motifs set the scene for an atmosphere that feels both cinematic and intimate. Whether seated by the window gazing at the Burj Khalifa or tucked into a corner booth with soft jazz in the background, guests are enveloped in understated luxury.
More than a restaurant, China Tang Dubai is an experience, a tribute to heritage, artistry, and world-class hospitality. Set against the shimmering waters of Marasi Bay Marina, it invites guests to dine not just with appetite, but with curiosity and admiration.
