Leung Hung Restaurant

Leung Hung Restaurant

There is no doubting the impression Chinese food has had on the world stage. It seems that no matter which country you travel to, you will find Chinese restaurants there. Bangladesh is no exception and while in Dhaka I ate in at least four of them. In my opinion Leung Hung was the best. The restaurant also has an extensive Thai food menu but I did not ever try this because I regularly visited other specialist Thai restaurants in Dhaka.

The restaurant is located on one of the busiest intersections in the suburb of Gulshan so it is well known to most locals. It has also built a good reputation with expatriate people living in the area so on the night I visited there was about a 75/25 mix of locals and foreigners. As with most Dhaka restaurants, there was no alcohol served but one of our party had thought ahead and brought a nice bottle of Australian wine which the restaurant gladly opened.

Chinese restaurants often have extensive menus and Leung Hung was no exception. When you analyze what is being offered it boils down to beef, lamb, chicken, duck, fish and seafood prepared in a variety of ways. Our needs were simple so we ordered beef, chicken, a vegetable dish and fried rice. The servings were large and four dishes were very adequate for three people. The meal was served quickly without fuss and the taste was just what we expected. What more could you ask for?

This is not the place to go if you are looking for top quality ambience and service but for a good honest meal it is hard to beat. We were in and out in well under an hour, satisfactorily fed and fully prepared to explore further the nighttime delights of Dhaka.
