Common card · No. 314776

Lee Ho Fook (Chinese: 利口福) was a Chinese restaurant located in Chinatown, London, at 15–16 Gerrard Street. It was originally located at 4 Macclesfield Street and continued to operate out of that site, known as Lee Ho Fook II, as well as Gerard Street, for several decades. In 1974, it became the first Chinese restaurant in the United Kingdom to be awarded a Michelin Star. The restaurant is mentioned in the 1978 song "Werewolves of London" by Warren Zevon. Lee Ho Fook closed in 2008, and was replaced by a restaurant called Golden Harvest, which was itself replaced by Dumplings' Legend, which specialises in soup-filled dumplings.
