Yum Seng

Yum Seng is run by Alan Lam, a Chinese-American raconteur of Cantonese heritage. Lam's grandfather fled Hong Kong with his sizable fortune shortly before Hong Kong left British control, and Alan has used his inheritance wisely., building a modest empire in the vice scene of Night City. Yum Seng (Cantonese for "Cheers!") is a host and hostess bar, but it's also oddly one of the best places to get a seafood meal, because Alan Lam is also something of a gourmand. Customers to Yum Seng are asked to choose their seating by the host at the entrance. Customers who just want to eat are escorted to tables in the communal eating hall. Customers who want more personal attention are escorted to booths, where they will be attended to by pretty, pretty, people.

Lam is smart enough that he's not using Yum Seng as a money laundering front. No, that's for the other businesses he controls in Night City. Yum Seng is just his personal hangout. He takes great interest in the comfort and satisfaction of his customers, stopping at their tables or booths to ask if all is well, and is very responsive to their concerns. The seafood is the best and freshest in Night City, the drinks are of high quality, and the hosts and hostesses are all beautiful and elegantly bodysculpted and trained in manners and etiquette.

There are also soundproof karaoke boxes, as Lam loves karaoke. Any edgerunners wanting to do business with him will have to participate. He doesn't expect them to sound good, but he wants them to have the balls to try.

Signature Drinks: Anything expensive and showy. Veuve Clicquot, 18-year scotch, all at least 150% markup of standard price, except when Alan Lam visits your table, then he comps you the drink after asking if you've had a good time.
