Tried Yu Lei’s afternoon tea for around ₱3,500 and it was such a unique experience! Everything was beautifully presented on a 2-tier stand. Super Instagrammable and felt really fancy. The set had a mix of savory and sweet, and even included rice, soup, and Chinese dishes with a modern twist. Honestly, the 2-tier set is more than enough for two people. The ambiance was amazing, very elegant and private. The place felt exclusive, and there’s even a really nice hallway that’s perfect for photos. You can really see the attention to detail everywhere. It wasn’t crowded at all, even though we went on a weekend (we did call ahead just to be safe). The only thing I hope they improve is the serving time. It took a while for everything to come out, but other than that, the experience was totally worth it. Loved the VIP vibes!

Stunning decor, very friendly staff backed by some of the best Chinese dishes available in town. Would definitely go back when in Manila again.

"Uchi is the best! Their customer service is always excellent — Uchi personally visits us in the private room to make sure everything is served perfectly and nothing is missed. We especially love the private rooms at Yu Lei, which even have their own washrooms, making the experience extra comfortable and convenient. The only minor downside is that the doors are very heavy (which can be a bit amusing), but aside from that, the ambience, service, and Shanghainese food are all outstanding. The location can also be a little tricky when coming with kids since you can’t pass through the casinos, so the walk feels longer — but it’s absolutely worth it."

We met up with a friend from Japan. We had dinner at Yu Lei. We ordered char Siu Pao, Shrimp Dumplings, appetizer sampler, hot & sour soup, sweet and sour pork, and many more.

Great afternoon tea set! You can choose between 2-tier or 3-tier, depending on how hungry you are. And choose either tea or coffee. It's good enough for two people.

Very good experience. Food & service was outstanding

Amazing service! We dined in one of the private rooms of Yu Lei and experienced such VIP treatment from the staff. The food was perfection, and I tried jellyfish for the first time, which was a unique texture that I enjoyed. Everything we ate was beautifully presented and tasted delicious. We were definitely very full afterwards! If you're looking for a luxury dining experience while visiting Okada Manila, I recommend trying Yu Lei atleast once.

Its fantastic. Very scrumptious and delicious. Its not your English style afternoon tea but its great.
