The best Chinese food in Qatar, according to the experts: the Michelin Guide and The 50 have both weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Hakkasan comes out on top, and the good stuff runs deepest in Doha.
More Less
Kai’s Songbird and Koo Madame hold the next two places. The Michelin Guide shows up on more of this list than any other guide, with The 50 next.

Rank 1. Hakkasan
Chinese
The back-lit counter that anchors the dining room is the tell: this is a place designed to be looked at as much as to eat in, and the Doha crowd obliges. Hakkasan is a Chinese restaurant with global pedigree, housed at the St Regis but running its own atmosphere. The menu is long and composed, built around Peking duck and dim sum, and the desserts earn their place on the table rather than just filling it.

Rank 1. Koo Madame
Chinese
A 1920s Shanghai fever dream on the first floor of the Rosewood, all low light and dark lacquer. This is a Chinese restaurant where the Beijing duck arrives gleaming, carved tableside, and you can order a half if a whole feels ambitious. Dim sum and hand-pulled noodles round out the menu. The wine cellar is right there in the room, sealed behind glass, because why not let it watch.

Rank 1. yūn
Cantonese
A Cantonese restaurant on the 44th floor of the Waldorf Astoria, where the Pearl glitters below and the tea-based mocktails at the bar give you something to do while you summon the courage to look down. The menu leans into the classics, with dim sum, roast duck, and the kind of carefully composed service that arrives exactly on cue. Bring someone you want to impress, or at least someone who won't spend dinner staring at their phone.
