-- Mandarin Oriental, Guangzhou announces the opening of TANG on 13 November, a bold new Chinese Bistro concept bringing the distinctive Chaoshan flavours with Lingnan heritage to the table in a modern social setting. Helmed by two-MICHELIN-starred Chef Fei, TANG celebrates vibrant Cantonese flavours and locally sourced ingredients, offering a dynamic culinary experience complemented by its connecting bar, LIÁNG.
“We are delighted to introduce TANG to Guangzhou's vibrant dining scene,” says Eric Blomeyer, General Manager of the hotel. “TANG is far more than a restaurant, it is an immersive culinary experience. Under Chef Fei's visionary direction, the menu celebrates the depth and heritage of Cantonese cuisine while embracing bold contemporary techniques, from the art of fermentation to the mastery of the wok. The result is a dining journey that is both distinctive and exhilarating.”
Designed by Steve Leung Design Group Ltd., the 210-seat, 1,420-square-metre restaurant reimagines the traditional Chinese Bistro restaurant through a contemporary lens - honouring subtle Lingnan heritage elements while incorporating modern design include an open kitchen, a dramatic art wall, and floor-to-ceiling windows visually connecting to a greenery outdoor dining terrace and a connecting bar. Two private dining rooms for 8-person each offer an intimate setting, with an additional semi-private area offering diverse seating for a variety of special events and parties.
“I am honoured to open the doors to TANG, my second culinary chapter at Mandarin Oriental, Guangzhou, following the debut of Jiang by Chef Fei at the hotel's opening in 2013,” says Chef Consultant Wong Ching Fei. “Inspired by the meaning of its name, the living room of a grand residence – TANG is designed as a social and dining space where guests can feel both comfortable and connected. Through my rotating seasonal menus, I aim to bring fresh energy and vibrant flavours to every visit.”
Menu Preview
TANG pays tribute to its Cantonese roots while maintaining a close connection with Guangdong's farmers and growers. Breakfast celebrates authentic regional flavours, featuring Cantonese-style freshly simmered congee, Chaoshan-style kway teow, and Hong Kong-style handmade dim sum.
The main menu showcases the richness of southern Chinese cuisine, with an emphasis on fresh seafood, braised delicacies, and time-honoured family recipes that highlight the artistry of fermentation and cooking over fire. Signature dishes include Chaoshan braised specialities such as Braised Pork Feet and Sliced Braised Goose; cold appetisers like Cold “Wusun” Fish and Cold Nan'ao Island Red Crab; and local favourites including Pan-fried Oyster Omelette and Poached Handmade Fish and Beef Balls. Classic Cantonese soups, Peking Duck, and Hakka-style Salt-baked Chicken complete the culinary journey.
Guests can conclude their meal with regionally inspired desserts, such as Chaoshan Sweet Taro Paste with Ginkgo and Double-layer Steamed Milk Custard. The experience continues with TANG's bar programme, where the drinks menu features house-crafted cocktails alongside traditional recipes, creatively incorporating elements of fermentation, fire, and seasonal botanicals.
The Connecting Bar – LIÁNG
LIÁNG is a cocktail bar with its own distinctive identity, subtly connected to TANG. Drawing inspiration from local traditions, regional spirits and seasonal produce, the concept celebrates the craft of fermentation.
Taking its name from the Lingnan architectural element “liáng” – the crossbeam that symbolises balance and innovation – the bar's philosophy reflects this harmony through its approach to mixology. Each cocktail is thoughtfully composed around the Five Elements – Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water – balancing Yin and Yang energies through inventive techniques such as fat-washing and smoking.
More than a bar, LIÁNG is a sanctuary where Guangzhou's cultural soul, architectural artistry and the alchemy of balance converge. Guests are invited to discover a journey of tradition and innovation in every sip, from 5pm to 1am daily.
TANG, with its connecting Bar LIÁNG, is set to open 13 November 2025. For more information, visit the website, follow @mo_guangzhou on Instagram, or call us +86 20 3808 8888.
