About Hei Restaurant

Hei is a modern Chinese restaurant at 126A Cuba Street in Te Aro, central Wellington, offering a casual yet refined take on traditional Chinese cooking. Its name comes from the Cantonese word for happiness.

Head chef and founder Michael Chan works with quality local produce and makes dishes from scratch rather than relying on bottled sauces. The menu reworks familiar favourites — Peking duck, bao, tom yum and Sichuan chicken — with a contemporary touch, and reviewers regularly single out the Peking duck, pork bao and coconut mousse. It serves lunch Monday to Saturday and dinner from the evening.

Set on Wellington's characterful Cuba Street, Hei suits group dinners, informal team meals and casual client entertaining in the central city. See more Wellington venues for events across the region.
