    Dim Sum Brunch - Lai Hong Lounge in Chinatown 

    Join event champions, Dennis Lam, and Lawrence Wu, for Dim Sum, a popular and longstanding style of Chinese cuisine served for brunch. Dim Sum consists of a series of small, bite-sized portions of food served in small steamer baskets or on a small plate. It is generally considered Cantonese, from southern China, although other varieties exist.


    Lai Hong Lounge is located at 1416 Powell Street at the edge of San Francisco's Chinatown.  The restaurant is considered one of the best dim sum restaurants in the area and recently reopened with a new interior. 

    Our meal will be pre-fixed with a variety of dim sum that could include Shrimp Dumplings, BBQ Pork Buns, Roast Pork Rice Noodle, Siu Mai, Sticky Rice in Lotus Leaf, Egg Yolk Buns, Steamed Pork Buns, Pork Ribs and Custard Tart.

    Price is $40/person for members and $45/person for nonmembers, including tax and tip.  NO REFUNDS after August 17.  Tea is included.  Other beverages such as alcohol, soda and special drinks will be charged individually to the person ordering.

    We currently have reserved two tables for 20 people. This event is expected to be popular. If sold out, be put on a wait list for cancellations or a possible a third table.  

    Street parking sometimes can be challenging. Two public parking garages are located mid-block on opposite sides of Vallejo Street between Powell and Stockton Streets, less than a block from the restaurant.
