Great experience and first class service
This was an amazing experience.
They pay a lot of attention to detail and give out some small complimentary appetizers and desserts. The taste was outstanding! Highly recommended
So much great food, awesome service and a memory of a lifetime. Dumplings, specialty drinks, scallops, rice, Chow mein, jellyfish, beautiful interior and wonderful service, peeking duck was absolutely the best in the world.

Wing Lei - Upscale, Classy (and Tasty) Chinese Food at the Wynn
5/5 by
dw732 on 04/03/2022
We ate at Wing Lei on my last trip to Vegas. This is probably my 4th or 5th time. You have to book a reservation weeks in advance to get a reservation between 6 and 7:30. I love eating there because:
1. Really good chinese food
2. Very classy, first class, high end atmosphere, presentation and service and
3. My meal is always comped.
1.We (three of us) had the Imperial Peking Duck (w steamed buns), Garlic Beef Tenderloin, Prawns with Candied Walnuts, Yang Chow Fried Rice. All of it was excellent. The Duck is carved tableside and prepared into the buns for you with the plum sauce, scalions, etc. They simply serve it to you for immediate consumption. One thing I questioned was that I thought they would bring out the rest of the duck meat for us to eat later, but that never happened. The prawns with walnuts is a fairly typical dish found in lots of chinese restaurants. But here they use extra large prawns and they were lighter, more freshly prepared. Excellent. The beef was super tender and delicious. All of these dishes one can find in any authentic (or even not authentic) chinese restaurant along Spring Mt Road. But at Wing Lei everything is prepared in premium fashion and tastes better.
2. The atmosphere at Wing Lei is very high classed and the service impeccable. One doesn’t think of using “chinese food” and “fine dining” in the same sentence. But at WL it is appropriate. The pre-meal small “chef’s “ dumpling they bring you, the after dinner sweet mini pastries, all of it adds up to a great experience.
3. I am chinese so I am super aware that the food here is tremendously over-priced. Our meal of $300+ probably would’ve cost less than $100 off strip at any of the chinese restaurants along Spring Mt Road. But this is to be expected in Vegas and particularly at the Wynn LV. Red 8 and Wazuzu are similar. So I would never pay these prices myself.
Still having said all that, I would still highly recommend Wing Lei. It is excellent and terrific eating experience in keeping with the whole Wynn Las Vegas vibe.

Some of the dishes on the menu have clearly been
Some of the dishes on the menu have clearly been westernized and lean more towards fusion cuisine than authentic Chinese. That being said, I felt the flavors had depth and worked well together in every dish we ordered. We got the Field Greens with Peking Duck as an app and the Jidori Chicken with Chili-Garlic Sauce and Braised Seafood Curry Rice as mains. It was plenty of food for 2 and we almost couldn't finish it. The complimentary amuse bouche and cakes (neatly wrapped in takeout box and bag) were nice touches to round out a very satisfying meal.

I went to WingLei after a rave recommendation by a good
I went to WingLei after a rave recommendation by a good friend of mine regarding their peking duck. It was definitely upscale and service was very solid. We ordered the peking duck, garlic beef tenderloins, marinated jellyfish, and three cup sea bass. Overall it was a 3.5/5 all things considered. Peking Duck: 4/5: Definitely the best peking duck I have had in the US so far. Skin is pretty crispy and meat is tender, and it met expectations. It is always a cool experience when they cut the peking duck in front of you. It is not going to compare to the peking duck you get in Beijing, but it definitely will scratch the itch. They also use some of the duck meat and mix it with I believe either a grated radish or bamboo and serve it in cabbage leaves. This was just alright to me but I liked the crunchiness.Garlic beef tenderloins 3.5/5: The beef was definitely tender, but it didn't really stand out otherwise. The portions were small as expected at this kind of restaurant, but I felt the overall taste was just alright. Kind of like beef stir fry but with a nicer, smaller cut of meat. Would not order it again.3 cup sea bass 4/5: Really nice texture. This dish was a positive surprise, with the fish being very tender and flavorful and it went really well with the rice. This was my 2nd favorite dish after the peking duck. I feel like with all the dishes here, they are seasoned fairly well and not too bland or too salty.Marinated Jelly fish 2/5: I grew up eating jelly fish marinated with vinegar, and I expect the pieces to have a tiny bit of crunch while still being refreshing. I kind of wish the pieces here were sliced more thinly, as some of the bigger pieces were a bit too crunchy to me and difficult to chew. Definitely do not recommend this. Overall a decent restaurant, I know a lot of the price is due to service, ambiance, and setting. The peking duck and 3 cup sea bass were great, but the other dishes were just ok. I wouldn't say the food is much better than a decent Chinese restaurant in Houston's China town (unless you only order the peking duck and 3 cup sea bass), but it was nice to experience.

How did they even get 1 michelin star??? Really questioning
How did they even get 1 michelin star??? Really questioning it. I've had Peking ducks all over the world and while their Peking duck is edible and maybe acceptable in American standards but it's a fail in my books (But still better than all of the "Peking" duck places in LA). The skin is not crispy enough. The duck is Feels more like an in between of HK roasted duck and peking duck. When the peking duck was brought to the table, the color itself is already off. Too much seasoning. Meat color was on the darker side which means it's a little bit dry. The way they cut it is questionable as well. Out of the entire duck, they only cut 4 skin for me on my plate. The rest were served on the plate as "duck". The way they cut it is not something I expect from a michelin star restaurant. See photos.Their thin pancakes and buns for the peking duck are good though.Dishes lacked wok hei (very important in cantonese cuisine). Go to Win Kee Cafe off the strip, they make better food with wok hei for 1/10 the price. If you want to charge these prices, please make sure your food tastes like this price.Ambience is nice, service is great but food isn't good enough to make me want to come back. Food is more modern like MOTT 32. If you're into modern chinese, this is the place for you but if you're looking for a more traditional cantonese food experience, I'd suggest Blossom at Aria. Don't waste your money or stomach space.

Excellent dining experience!The staff was very approachable
Excellent dining experience!The staff was very approachable and enthusiastic. Friendly and knowledgeable, able to make accommodations for our dietary requirements. The food was fantastic, delicious and flavored well, not too strong and not too subtle. We ordered the tasting menu and they were able to make substitutes for my friends who were pescatarian. We all had the Chef Ming Yu's Signature Dinner tasting menu, and it was marvelous. They were able to substitute the truffle soup and braised rib for seafood for my pescatarian friends. The drinks were delicious, and we tried most of them, all very good, can't go wrong, even the vodka drinks (and I don't like vodka generally) were very good, barely taste the vodka but you can definitely see them putting in the vodka at the bar. Highly recommend making a reservation, not sure you can get seated without one. They were quite on-time, seated within 10min of our reservation time. The tables were well maintained and the servers kept our table free of clutter and made sure we had everything we needed for a spectacular dining experience. Wynn has parking, trying to get there 10min earlier, parking takes a minute.

We had a great dinner here.
The service was excellent from start to finish. Food was delicious. We tried the Pan-Seared Pot Stickers, Cantonese Wonton Soup, Mu Shu Pork, General Tao's Chicken, and Yang Chow Fried Rice. The Mu Shu Pork was our favorite. The General Tao's Chicken sauce resembled more of a sweet and sour sauce which was unexpected, but good.

The best Peking duck I've had outside of Beijing.
We got the tasting menu, and it was well worth it. I'd never had a wine pairing that complemented the food so perfectly. The wines had bold flavors, but really paired well with each dish. The Peking duck was amazing, with the traditional crepe & hoisin. At first I wished I could've just ate more of it this way, but I had no idea how great the next few dishes would be. Funny that they covered the head with a napkin while carving it tableside.The same duck is used for all dishes in the tasting menu (except the dessert). The duck salad with wine pairing was my favorite dish. Served with truffles, but not overpowering. I hate when people just throw truffles on the plate to make it fancy. This dish actually went nicely with the truffles, and it didn't outshine the duck.The fried rice entree was good, but nothing spectacular.100% recommend the Peking duck here. Although I think the a la carte duck comes with steamed buns, not the crepe.Can't forget to mention the cute little chairs they bring out for your bag. Genius! I really don't know why nobody else does that. The service was exceptional!

If you want to call this an authentic Chinese restaurant, it's not.... If you want to call it a fusion, it's absolutely not.... There are dish that's very authentic Chinese, but there are also dishes that are catered towards westerners. We in particular LOVE the steam whole fish (maybe the sou sauce just a tad on the light side but the fish was definitely VERY FRESH and steamed perfectly)! Too bad they do not carry traditional Cantonese style soup(s)... Will definitely go back for the fish.....

For the dim sum brunch.
It was a solid 3. Food was excellent all great quality as one would expect. I even enjoyed the cocktail which were surprisingly affordable at only $18 a piece. I was underwhelmed by the service. Had to ask for water refill multiple times. I ask for dim sum and the gentleman stopped the cart 3 tables away and I had to walk over and reach over another customer table to grab food... we aren't at a Chinatown dim sum place hah. But overall for food quality and the cheap price I would definitely do it again. But it's only available twice a year for Christmas and CNY. Food 5 stars with 1 star service. Brunch was $98 this year, total with tip was $150.

FOOD CULTURAL APPROPRIATION food lacking authenticity is ‘cultural appropriation2
1. Wok-fried Maine lobster. Lobster is not indigenous to China. Imports are mainly from Australia and the USA. Cooking in a wok is a Chinese style method.
2. Crispy Pork with Sweet & Sour Sauce* 咕嘍肉 35.88 Pineapple, Heirloom Bell Peppers, Pearl Onions (Chinese-American modification for western tastes by battering, sweetening, frying. Sweet-and-sour sauces do exist in China, but are mostly eaten with fish dishes. And most importantly, the sauce lives in a separate dish which the diner uses for dipping. )
3. General Tao’s Chicken 左宗雞 35.88 Balsamic Chili Sauce, Baby Bok Choy (Chinese-American modification of a Chinese dish for western tastes)
4. Lemon Chicken* 香酥檸雞 35.88 Frisée, Honey Lemon Sauce
(In China, the chicken is steam. Common take out food from Canadian Chinese. and Chinese-Indian restaurants. Generally fried for Western tastes)
5. Pan-Seared Lamb Chops* 香煎羊排 61.88 (Western and not Chinese dish)
6. Fried Prawns with Candied Walnuts* 核桃蝦球 45.88 Romaine Lettuce, Creamy Kalamansi Honey Sauce (Adapted for western taste again frying and adding candied walnuts as well as honey sauce. A Chinese-American dish)

8. Wing Lei Sampler 永利拼盤 42.88 King Crab Salad, (2) BBQ Spare Ribs, (2) Shrimp Toast Sliced
(Shrimp Toast heavy in oil and a favorite Chinese American take out item. King crab generally sourced from Alaska.)
9. Worst offender? Imperial Peking duck and also listed by Wing Lei as Peking duck.
Is this an American version of Duck called Peking Duck. YES/NO?
Note fully authentic serving practices and modified.
What is the breed of the duck?
Was the duck hung and dried for the appropriate period of time?
If the duck is not special ordered in advance and is soon ready to be served, how long has it been sitting since it was cooked and then reheated?
Even in China they have prepackaged cooked "Peking Duck" that they sell at the airport when departing Beijing's Airport, Does Wing Lei do something similar to this?
If not, is duck hung and cooked in an open oven style?
Is air pumped to separate skin from the meat?
Perhaps the name should be changed to American Peking Duck or something else on the menu if modified cultural appropriation.
Description issues:
Seafood Hot & Sour Soup 酸辣湯 18.88 Mushrooms, Wood Ear, Bamboo, Maine Lobster,
(Description should read bamboo shoots. Wood ear is in the mushroom family. Don't know what other types of mushrooms are added).
Calories:
The appetizers, side dishes and desserts are no more than 250 calories each and the main courses are 500 calories or less
1. Egg rolls us a delicious little crispy packet that only takes a couple of bites to consume, but therein lies the problem. Taken on its own, a single egg roll is 222-calorie,
2, Fried rice results in an oily, starchy, undeniably delicious, but totally unnecessary calorie addition. Calories can be reduced depending on the type of oil used. What type of oil is used? Generally a cup-sized portion starts at 200 calories.
Many other issues but the above are of concerns that currently stand out.
Looking forward to your input. Also, for transparency and truth in advertising, first Chinese to win Michelin One star should have a footnote that this was in 2008-2009, Thirteen years has passed.
A star indicates excellent cooking. Two stars are referred to as good tasting cooking worthy of exploring a little bit; and three stars are regarded as exceptional tasting cuisine worth getting into.
From what I heard, one of the reasons Wing lei has 5 stars from Forbes is because of excellent service, superior decor. . .
In addition, live seafood advertised. I didn't see any live seafood.
Will live seafood be selected and presented prior to cooking?
In some Chinese restaurants, they will be taken out of the tanks.

Wing Lei - Chinese Fine Dining.
FOOD CULTURAL APPROPRIATION food lacking authenticity is 'cultural appropriation. Some restaurants will change Chinese Fine Dining to Asian American fusion food. Or perhaps Chinese American Fine Dining.1. Wok-fried Maine lobster. Lobster is not indigenous to China. Imports are mainly from Australia and the USA. Cooking in a wok is a Chinese style method. Also Chinese v Western method for preparing lobsters. Chinese rinse the lobster, and hold it belly up. At the bottom of the tail, there is a small opening, stick a long skewer in it to drain any urine left in its' body. This seems to be generally unfamiliar with Westerners cooking lobster.2.

Came here for the all-you-can eat Dim Sum brunch, which was
Came here for the all-you-can eat Dim Sum brunch, which was quite an adventure. I heard this filled up fast, so I got here super early on a Sunday. The place didn't open until 10:30, we got in line at 9:30, and we were one of the last people to get a seat and make the afternoon seating. The good news is, we didn't have to wait in a line anymore once they put our name down on the list - we just had to wait for the text message.I had a birthday dining credit to use which helped offset a lot of the cost. Drinks are not included. I was excited to try this because I don't normally have dim sum beyond what they have at buffets, and this seemed like a good opportunity to try a lot of variety. They also had oxtail, lobster, sushi, and some other items too. Not only did they have a nice spread of food out for people to take but they also constantly came by with all sorts of different prepared dim sum and other interesting food items. The scallop dim sum was really good, as were the different varieties of pork ribs.If you go, prepare to go EARLY. By 10:30 both days they were full, and that's when they open. You can NOT make reservations unless you are a party of 10 or more. They also only do the brunch until 2 and seating is very small, which makes this so much harder to get. Unfortunately this is only for one more weekend. They normally have it more days, so I'm hoping with the popularity they will add more days next year.
Truly a major disappointment. False promises and hope. Called the restaurant 3 weeks ago prior. Asking about reservations and or a waitlist. She replied not necessarily one person should not be a problem. I arrived at 10.30 am on 02.06 the host said it sold out. I had a chat with Mr. Burns, the Executive Director of Fine Dining. Seem like he tried. He offered me to have coffee and something to eat at Tableau. He told me there is a chance around 130pm I may get seated. At 130pm I return, 45 minutes elapsed. Mr. Burn finally admitted the chance of me being seated is unlikely. Asked if he would walk over to the Buffet for their Brunch. He also booked me a table for next evening. Which I didn't go. Once your heart and mind are set on something. It's hard to replace it. Wing Lei's dining room is small with a buffet set up taking up 30% of its seating capacity. Challenges to seat the demand are slim at rest. From what visioned the menu offering is limited and some selections ran out.This review is based on experience and not on food or service. Wynn's Food and Beverage department has to rethink this and must do a better job to accommodate all their dining guest. Hours were from 1030am to 200pm and 30% of the seating capacity was taken up by buffet set up. The price is $98.88 to cover the loss of seating or too discouraged walk-ins or both. Overhyped maybe. No Bang for your Buck here! In hindsight should have dined with Genting Palace, at Resorts World oh well this was on me. Lesson learned.
🤮
Attended the dim sum brunch on Sunday 2/6/2022.
What a disappointment meal that was. Totally underwhelming! We got there at 8.20am and got on the schedule for a table for two for 1 pm. We did not get seated until about 2 pm. The restaurant seating was chaotic. The food presentation and selection was very very poor. They ran out of lobster. For AYCE lobster brunch and running out was very very poor planning. The dim sum selection was down right poor. Again it was poor planning. Only the desserts were good. All and all I felt that we were cheated for $98.88 ++ per person buffet. Never again I would consider to eat there. I saw other casinos' Chinese restaurants offering dim sum brunches for the Lunar New Year. My recommendation for those who wish to have a better experience should try them and not Wing Lei.
😒
Went here on 2/5/22 for the Chinese New Year buffet for $98.
88. So we waited in line around 10am and was really excited but when we got to the front the lady said to come back at 2pm. So we came back and was seated around 2:05. First thing I went for was the meat section which they only served lamb 3/5 Then the sushi section which was a 3/5 lobster was 3/5 and they were running out. The same for the oyster and shrimp and crab legs.The dim sum was top notch which everything they served was a perfect 5/5. What really disappointed me was we were sat down at 2:05pm and were told at 3pm to get our last round of food. Sometimes my used plates just kept on piling up and my drink was empty. I just wanted to experience the place since I saw it on youtube. But I don't think I will be coming back. I really hate to leave reviews like this but they should at least inform the customers that are being seated at 2pm that the buffet ends at 3pm.
😒
Horrible experience trying to get brunch.
We went to visit the day before to inquire about their lunar brunch options. They informed us it'll be first come first serve at 1030am and reservations can not be made for our party of 8 (you need to have a party of 10). We arrived a bit before 10am with our elderly and left the kids back at the hotel. There were about 30 people ahead of us. When we got to the door after waiting roughly 1hr 40mins, they told us we were not allowed in as there are no more reservations available and being put on the wait list was not an option. Apparently, they had started adding people to the list since 7am and the people that were in line before us at 10am were already on the list. Why they decided to let people wait almost 2hrs without informing any "new" people in line that there's no more availability is beyond me! There was no indication of such happenings as they jot your name and party down rather than giving out tickets or have "we're full" signs.I was curious enough to see how this restaurant would fare against other michelin starred dimsum restaurants that we've tried in HK and throughout CA so went early at 8am on a Sunday to be the 5th person in line. Even so, we found out at 915am that larger parties made reservations already and a guaranteed spot wasn't available until 1pm and then we were seated around 1:30pm.The service here is exemplary and had no indications of any labor shortage that currently plagues the industry. There was not a huge variety or even overly fancy menu items for the price tag of $100pp so you're mainly paying for the service of dining in a fancy restaurant rather than food itself. Notable food items were the congee, cold lobster with a makeshift sauce (if you're creative enough), ox tail, and scallop dumplings. Dim sum were average in taste. Basic drinks like watermelon juice costs extra but were pretty tasty. The limited dessert station was well presented and tasted good, but the fresh fruit was a nicer option. It was indeed an experience, but not one I'd wake up early for again if I had a party less than the reservation size.

Elegant Upscale Chinese Restaurant with Very Tasty Foods and Excellent Service

Jae L on 12/08/2021
During our stay in Las Vegas, Wing Lei was one of many upscale restaurants that we visited for dinner. This restaurant had pleasantly bright and warm atmosphere. Upon entering we were greeted by a courteous hostess, and led to our window side table. The garden outside the windows looked beautiful. Soon, a server placed a tiny baby chair next to our table. The baby chair turned out to be a chair on which my wife’s handbag could be placed. We ordered “Alaskan King Crab Salad”, “Seafood Hot and Sour Soup”, “General Tao’s Chicken”, and “Mu Shu Pork”. All the foods looked like beautiful art works, and they tasted very delicious. Above all, “Mu Shu Pork” was the best Mus Shu Pork we had ever had. Later, our server brought us a beautiful dessert as the restaurant’s complimentary dessert for my wife’s birthday. The servers were very courteous. The manager and the assistant manager were extremely attentive and courteous as well. When we looked around to find our server for an extra plate, the manager quickly came to us to find out what we needed. Then, he quickly brought a plate to our table by himself. Another time, we accidentally dropped our fork. Before we stooped down to pick it up, an assistant manager quickly brought us a new fork. We highly recommend Wing Lei Restaurant.

Delicious Chinese food in a classy space
Had a great meal here. The space is fabulous and very comfortable. Food was top-notch, don't miss the potstickers and especially the Peking Duck. Worth the splurge here. Service was superb.
