Tips for a Better Visit

Order Duck. Try the Crispy Peking Duck with plum sauce and pancakes; it was described as the meal's highlight.

Allow Time. Build in extra time for service, especially if ordering dumplings; one review reported a wait of over 25 minutes.

Common Concerns

Showing 2 of 5

Slow Service

Several reviews mention delayed attention, including dumplings taking more than 25 minutes and requests going unanswered.

Small Portions

One diner felt portions were around 30% of what they expected, so arriving very hungry may be risky.

The Bottom Line

Long Yin is a hotel Chinese restaurant in Al Garhoud with a traditional, dimly lit setting. The strongest reason to consider it is the Peking duck: several diners describe it as the standout, including one who called it the best in town. Dim sum is another reliable draw, with reviews mentioning dumplings, shrimp hakaw, siomai and a broad selection.

The menu also includes hot and sour soup, wasabi prawns, spicy fried rice and vegetarian dishes. One review praised the fresh ingredients, while another singled out the spicy fried rice. The restaurant has a substantial pork menu too, something a reviewer described as unusual for Dubai Chinese dining.

A chef preparing dishes at the table has also been mentioned. The atmosphere is generally calm, cozy and suited to a relaxed meal, although a large office group once made conversation difficult. Service feedback is mixed: some guests found the team attentive and helpful, while others reported slow attention, forgotten orders or an abrupt response to a takeaway request.

Dumplings have taken more than 25 minutes in one visit. Pricing is not positioned as casual; a review cited 150–180 AED per person for four courses, while others felt the value was weak. Portions and cooking quality have also varied, so confirming menu inclusions and asking for recommendations is sensible.
