The Experience

From Michelin Guide

Sole opened its doors in 2023 with an all-Cantonese kitchen team. The head chef's glorious career spans 20-plus years and he excels at Cantonese classics – dim sum, Cantonese barbecue, seafood, double-boiled soups and stir-fries. The long menu also offers painstakingly made items such as deep-fried egg custard with chicken testicle. The scallop dumpling with crab roe stands out for its translucent skin, perfect pleats and rich buttery filling.
