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.

Questions around this news
When does TANG open, and what kind of dining space is it?
TANG is scheduled to open on 13 November 2025 at Mandarin Oriental, Guangzhou. The restaurant is described as a contemporary Chinese bistro drawing on Cantonese flavours and Lingnan heritage. Its design includes an open kitchen, an outdoor dining terrace, private dining rooms, and a connecting bar called LIÁNG.
What dishes and regional flavours are featured on TANG’s menu?
The menu highlights southern Chinese and Cantonese cooking, including Chaoshan braised pork feet and goose, Nan’ao Island red crab, and a pan-fried oyster omelette. Other offerings include congee, dim sum, Peking Duck, Hakka-style salt-baked chicken, and desserts such as sweet taro paste with ginkgo. The release also describes seasonal menus and locally sourced ingredients.
What does fat-washing mean in cocktail making?
Fat-washing is a method of adding flavour and texture to a spirit by infusing it with a fat, such as butter or oil. After the infusion, the mixture is chilled so the fat solidifies and can be removed. The technique can leave behind aromatic qualities without making the drink greasy.
How does fermentation affect food and drinks?
Fermentation uses microorganisms such as bacteria or yeast to transform ingredients. It can create distinctive flavours and aromas, change texture, and help preserve foods. In drinks and cooking, the result depends on the ingredients and process; fermentation is one technique among many, rather than a single flavour or style.
