Creating a legacy is no small feat. Celebrity Chef Susur Lee has been at the top of his game for decades now, curating unique dining experiences that combine traditional recipes and methods, blended with innovative ingredients and techniques, which are hallmarks at all his restaurants. And, Luckee is no different. This Toronto restaurant is so much more than just another Chinese restaurant, with a sumptuous lounge bar and on trend neon signage anchoring the eatery and injecting an infectious energy into the space. The design of the space is integral to Chef Lee's mission. Crafting a welcoming experience that keeps diners engaged and excited is part of Susur Lee's mantra
Luckee boasts all day dim sum, using a traditional wagon service, allowing the diner to choose what suits their palates.
"Round tables allow for sharing, and dim sum, which translates to 'touch little hearts' is a perfect meal to share. A lot of people that are not familiar with Asian culture might be scared to ask, they sometimes don’t know what they’re eating. For our staff, in Toronto, we live in such a multicultural city – we have many staff that speak English, Cantonese and Mandarin, never be shy – just ask! A lot of people say you can get dim sum in Chinatown, but you can’t get this kind of dim sum in Chinatown. It’s a dying art, our chef is in his late 50’s, his whole life he’s been doing dim sum. We treasure that skill," says Susur.

Rich upscale restaurant connected to a rich upscale hotel, Luckee is on that level where people take your coat before they seat you. They accomidated a large party for lunch in a deceptively private room with quite a lot of baggage. Ordered the dim sum basket to start with the luckee duck bowl for main which were cooked perfectly, wrapped and presented amazingly. The panna cotta was rich and delicate and that perfect mangoy flavour. A treat and a pleasure
