Something About Company
In the heart of Dubai’s dynamic Business Bay, overlooking the breathtaking cityscape and the serene Marasi Bay Marina, lies
China Tang Dubai, a culinary masterpiece and the Middle Eastern debut of a legendary brand. As part of The Lana Promenade at the prestigious Dorchester Collection, China Tang brings the sophisticated legacy of its London and Hong Kong flagships to the emirate. Founded by the late Sir David Tang, the original China Tang at The Dorchester in London became an icon of elegant Cantonese dining. The Dubai outpost, which officially opened in May 2025, continues this vision, blending the timeless glamour of 1930s Shanghai with Dubai’s cosmopolitan energy.
Our two-level restaurant offers a unique experience where classic Cantonese dishes meet modern culinary flair. Led by Executive Chef Simon Wu, our kitchen delivers an innovative menu featuring signature dishes like our exquisite dim sum, classic Beijing Duck, and crispy shredded beef, all crafted with meticulous attention to tradition and taste. The setting, designed to captivate and transport, is a stage for unforgettable dining moments, whether for a business lunch, a celebratory dinner, or a sophisticated evening with signature cocktails. China Tang Dubai is more than just a restaurant; it is a destination where culinary artistry and refined hospitality converge against the stunning backdrop of the Burj Khalifa and the marina.
