1423 China Kitchen in Windsor and Maidenhead

Was starving and ordered a takeaway but it never arrived! They’ve even said it’ll be 5 mins when I asked them and they say it’s delivered!!! Happened before as per the comments below!!! Beware

Ordered a takeaway and it never turned up. They accepted the order and even when I chased they said it would be 5 minutes which was unfortunate as I stayed up for it. Now having to wait for a refund (if they accept). I tried calling as their website says open and if that is incorrect please change it. The rider has clicked ‘delivered’ too such a disappointment

Best Chinese food we have ever tested! Highly recommended and wish the restaurant was in Scotland. Thank for a wonderful meal and service. Whenever we are back in Windsor…this will be our place to revisit.

I lived in Sichuan China or 4 years and I can verify that they made absolutely outstanding Sichuan Chicken upon request for authentic style. They really delivered on quality and great customer service. Highly recommend this place to Chinese and Western customers. Just remember to say what style you want 我在四川住了 4 年，我可以证实 他们按照要求制作了绝对出色的川菜鸡，口味正宗。他们确实做到了品质上乘，客户服务也很棒。强烈推荐这家餐厅给中国和西方顾客。记得说出你想要什么风格

NEVER EVER USE THIS COMPANY they didn’t deliver and their customer service is disgusting. Their delivery didn’t turn up and they lied and lied and lied

Amazing authentic Chinese food. All the dishes were very high quality and the staff were so friendly, amazing service!

Delicious and authentic Chinese food with great service. We had amazing dim sum and starters followed with noodles. Highly recommend and right next to the castle!

Very delicious Chinese food in the heart of Windsor very near the castle and located in a centuries-old building. We had egg fried rice, white rice, beef with green onions, and sweet and sour pork. This was a good portion for two. Service was fast, friendly and efficient. Highly recommended.

What an amazing little find in the back streets of Windsor! The customer service was outstanding, Ying really went the extra mile. Food was out of this world, you will never find a more authentic Chinese than here. They have an extensive Vegan menu which was absolutely delicious and I’m not vegan! When talking to Ying you can feel her passion for the food and creating delicious dishes for her customers. She was warm, open and friendly and welcoming of all feedback whether it be negative or positive. You can tell that Ying strives for continued improvement, it was wonderful to see someone take so much pride in their product and customer experience. Thank you Ying, to you and your team! I can’t wait to return and this time it’s Vegan all the way!

My recent visit to this charming restaurant, just opposite the castle on Cobble Street, was nothing short of spectacular. The location’s historical significance, set against the backdrop of Windsor’s oldest buildings (dating back to 1423), added a unique charm to our dining experience. The culinary highlight of the evening was their signature dishes - “Three Treasures on the Earth” and the Olive Vegetable Green Beans. Each dish was a delightful journey through authentic flavors, perfectly capturing the essence of traditional cooking. The story of a secret passage leading directly to Windsor Castle, as shared by our friendly server, added an element of mystique and excitement to our evening. Speaking of the service, it was impeccable. Our server was exceptionally warm and attentive, making our party of four feel right at home on a bustling Thursday night amidst the lively Spring Festival celebrations. Sitting near the window, surrounded by a joyous crowd, the restaurant’s ambiance was inviting and vibrant. This place isn’t just about great food; it’s about creating memorable experiences. We left with content hearts and a promise to ourselves to return. For anyone visiting Windsor, this is a gastronomic gem not to be missed!

We were staying in Windsor for the 19th + 20th of January.On Friday 19th after reading previous revues we booked a table for two in the evening,upon arrival the were a number of staff painting the walls and chairs of the ground floor.We were ushered upstairs where there were four people about to leave after eating. We ordered our food and I had a diet coke and my wife a soda water. The food arrived and I must say was pretty average but no complaints it was just the same as any other Chinese restaurant.When my drink arrived it was a can of diet coke unopened and just left on the table,we finished our meal and paid for the meal which in my view was very expensive for what we had. As we left the majority of the staff were huddled around a table with lots of what looked like delivery notes. When I later looked at the bill I saw that I had been charged £3:95 for the can of coke and the same for the glass of soda.The coke I estimate had a 400 per cent mark up (disgusting profiteering). I don't mind paying for good food in restaurants but please what a rip off. I am not surprised there weren't any other customers in the restaurant at those prices,it would appear that the people of Windsor have the sense to stay away. Therefore if you want pretty average food very poor service and exorbitant prices this is the place for you,ME NEVER AGAIN.

Lovely fresh food, service was fantastic and the place was so authentic. Really enjoyed it here. Would highly recommend

Great restaurant with lovely food and excellent customer service. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

We travel all the way from cambridge to come here, they do the best chinese we have ever had and have a massive range if you are vegan. Highly recommend!!!

So happy we found this place on a Sunday evening in Windsor! The prawns in black bean sauce and tofu with seafood were both outstanding- super fresh and flavorful, with veggies and without a lot of oil. Highly recommend!

Went for my husbands birthday. And my 90 year old father in law. The place was empty, the staff were unfriendly, wooden, and more concerned with the take away food. The starters were warm, not very appetising, no complimentary prawn crackers. Cob webs everywhere, toilets were grose. The staff were rowing in the main, but empty restaurant. When I brought it to their attention they stopped and gave us some attention Too little, too late A bottle of wine was not good enough. Do not go here, it was not good. We paid good money 165 quid for 3. Very very disappointed.

Fantastic Chinese restaurant in the heart of Windsor. Hunt out 1423 definitely worth finding. Food and service excellent.

Good service and the food was delicious. Was quiet when we visited so didn’t have to wait. Worth a visit if in Windsor if you like Chinese food.

This restaurant was amazing the food is delicious and the service was great. Our waiter, Ying, told us about the history and the built up of the restaurant, which made our night even better and funny. Would definitely recommend this to others as it is one of the best Chinese restaurants.

We weren't expecting to find authentic Chinese food in Windsor, but we did. When you see signs claiming "Best Chinese Food", especially in a small locale - you always view such things with a degree of skepticism. We ordered several different items, and all were well-executed. There were some minor adaptations of dishes which appeared to take advantage of the available produce - all of which were well done.

This is, by far, the best Chinese food I have ever eaten. I'm not a huge fan of Chinese, well not until I ate at 1483! We went with friends and we were SO impressed we returned 3 weeks later and we are going again...

We read all the reviews and honestly we were getting tired of pub foods, steaks, etc. Decided to have our last dinner in England here and do not regret it! Service was good, the waiter assumed we spoke Mandarin and even after we clearly ordered...

The food was delicious!!! SERVICE was excellent. We had a late lunch and the food was so hot and scrumptious!!!

Been her a number of times. Food is good. You got the standard fare and also items you don't normally get. Its not your typical chineses. Only criticism is the lack of variety of beers/lagers

Amazing food with a great vegan and vegetarian menu! Service was brilliant and every single food item we ordered was delicious!! The best Chinese that I've had.

The boss here is lovely and warm hearted. The meals taste tasty. The restaurant has send a dessert for me.It gives us the best of the best service. if you miss the restaurant, you will regret the whole life. The restaurant has an ancient history...

A fantastic Chinese restaurant with friendly efficient staff within a stones throw of Windsor castle. Food freshly made and a vast range of vegetarian and vegan food. Good portion sizes too. Would highly recommend

visited at lunchtime, very quiet, but a nice welcome. had mixed dim sum. sweet and sour chicken, pork belly stir fry and rice. all vey nice, generous portions. would definitely visit again!

Enjoyed delicious food with prompt friendly service. Meal was quite pricey - a combination of the area and us ordering too much, but they bagged up the excess for us which was great as we were able to enjoy their tasty food the following evening....

Fabulous food ! Fabulous service! Will be returning soon! Definitely the best Chinese restaurant in Windsor

This is an excellent restaurant with extremely friendly staff and professional service. The food is really authentic in flavour, would definitely recommend!

Great food and service group of ten great location. The staff were good recommending options for us to try and explaining the menu

AMAZING authentic Chinese food, great location with great history (close to Windsor Castle), and GREAT service!

Fabulous authentic cuisine. Plus extensive vegan menu. Friendly helpful staff and prompt service. Highly recommended.

The food was absolutely amazing and had the traditional taste and feel to it. The staff were really kind and accommodated us well. We will definitely come back here again.

Great little restaurant, service excellent, food delicious. Best prawn toast we have ever tasted! If ever we are visiting Windsor again we will call in again.

Great service and food, loved it for dinner, I would definitely recommend! The starters were some of the highlights.

Found this fabulous restaurant after a look around Windsor Castle. We had the set meal which was amazing, the chef takes so much care . Weren't rushed at all and had a nice chat with staff who were really friendly. Beautiful building which dates back...

The food was so good here. It’s the best Chinese food I have in a long time. Very authentic cuisine and the staff were so friendly. An absolute must.

Food was fresh and critically lacked the greasy taste some chinese can have. Personally preferred this …just … to Hong Kong, just around the corner, but it’s close. Portions were large and food is traditional chinese ingredients. Good to try some different things. Loved the...

We have been living in Datchet for the last 17 years. This was the first time we went in China kitchen. Really nice restaurant, delicious food, everything was fresh and piping hot. Great service and really friendly staff

We have been going to 1423 China Kitchen for years now and have taken lots of friends and family at different times, our grandchildren had their first Chinese meal here - they all go back time and time again, sometimes without us ! The food...

Loved the food and decor here. I tried the Singapore vegetable noodles for the first time. The owner is very pleasant and considerate. I'd definitely recommend stopping by for some authentic and delicious Chinese food in Windsor 👍

Popped in to try the lunch menu but ended up also ordering some things from the al La carte. Really nice delicate food. Great service

Fan bloody tastic. Superb service, brilliant recommendations and food that was absolute bang on the money. Defo don’t miss!

Authentic delicious Chinese food. Fabulous service. Lovely atmosphere! Will definitely come again. All our plates were empty. Yum

Very nice Chinese food, we just finish visiting the windsor castle, and my grandparents pick this restaurant, the food and the service both wonderful

Very Good. It is an interesting building -Probably the oldest in Windsor town. Good furniture and tasteful decoration. Food is very good and staff were efficient friendly and helpful.

Named 1423 based on the year the building (the second oldest in Windsor) was built, this small restaurant claims to offer an authentic Chinese experience. We had read good things about this place, and decided to book and pop in for lunch on Sunday. We...

Great location and the menu options were fantastic! So many vegan options, too many to choose from. I had the vegan crispy chilli beef and it was epic. The vegan shearing platter was also worth it. Will come again

We stumbled upon this restaurant, we were drawn in by its cosy look and cobbled street outside - and the fact that it’s the 2nd oldest building in Windsor! We were very impressed by both the service and food. The waiters were extremely friendly and...

Excellent spot with excellent food and staff! A nice place to relax for a meal after visiting Windsor castle!

Excellent service and delicious food! Very convenient location. Steps away from Windsor Castle. I would highly recommend it.

Great food, polite service and lovely setting. We would come back again despite it being further afield than our usual Chinese.

My Chinese friends invited me here saying this is the Best Chinese Restaurant in UK ever. It all taste exactly like home of China. On the evening my Chinese friends ordered everything that we had and to me it was all very new and extraordinary....

My friend and I visited this restaurant on a Saturday evening. We were greeted by very friendly waiters who seated us straight away. There was a large selection of food to choose from. We couldn’t decide what we wanted, so we ordered 7 dishes to...

Nice food, good service from the team. Recommended for a nice Chinese food experience in Windsor near the castle

Amazing food, great service. Best Chinese food around. Very authentic and high quality. Highly recommend!!!

We went for a quick lunch meal after wandering in Windsor, we found this cute restaurant 1423 which is the year the building was built! What a surprise, food was amazing and the team is super attentive! I live in London but I certainly would...

service was excellent, food was quick and the meals were delicious! Would highly recommend and only a 2 minute walk from from the windsor castle!!

A quite unique and different Chinese restaurant compared I used to. Dishes are different from normal Chinese and has huge vegan options as well. Very friendly staff and good location, on a cobble street opposite to the castle. Will be back!

A very friendly and quite unique Chinese restaurant, as the dishes are totally different from what I normally eat from a Western style Chinese! Fish-fragrent aubergine and Roast Seabass is my favorite, nice lady waitress with good recommendation! Will be back for sure!

Lovely Chinese restaurant with good service and a cozy setting. The food is good, we tried several dishes and all taste nice. The twice-cooked pork is my favorite dish, I was been told this is the authentic pork dish in China, actually I googled it,...

Honestly the worst Chinese I’ve ever been to, at first I thought it was going to be amazing as there was many Chinese in there, then got took upstairs on our own me and my girlfriend. Starters were good. Then the mains come and honestly...

Very unfriendly staff,absolutely made no attempt to converse,over priced menu,cold environment consequently food becomes cold within minutes of arrival on table,not recommended and sadly will not return,disappointing evening.

4 of us dined here on Friday 3rd February at 7.30.The menu is authentic Chinese cuisine,definitely not your average run of the mill Chinese menu.There is a large choice of dishes to suit all tastes,including vegetarian and vegan.We each had different items off of the...

Dishes actually dont taste bad at all, good menue. However, it’s way too expensive, plus service charge on top. A simple green vegetable with Galic charged £17 plus service charge, almost £20! Then, portion size is very small. £6 for small bowl of steam rice...

Being in a tourist honey pot, I was expecting this to be a low quality 'church 'em through' type place. But it is not! It is a really high quality. There is a good selection of veggies, although - be warned! - it is also...

We visited this restaurant on Saturday evening and we enjoyed a really delicious meal. Service was excellent and the staff were attentive and made us welcome. If you enjoy excellent Chinese Food, you must pay a visit to this restaurant.

Out with a friend in this cold January. Craved Asian food and luckily we found this place. Their food is so delicious! So happy and satisfied with their cooking. And service is incredible! Super friendly and accommodating owner. ❤️ would be happy to bring more...

Only the bottom open as short staffed, the 1 girl that was working couldn’t cope with the 3 tables(6 people) that were eating in, she seemed more interested in trying to get the take aways out as she kept running out to the drivers. People...

The food is very good but it’s so expensive now - sadly 2 adults 2 children we paid £172!! Adults had 2 drinks each, 2 bottles sparkling water. £6 for extra pancakes for duck as were only given 6 to start with for 4 people....

I ordered from here on Just eat at about 01:30. Food came at nearly 4am. I ordered the Singapore fried rice with a request of no shrimp and it came with shirmp. I also ordered chefs special fried noodles with mixed meat and received a...

Came to Windsor for the day, found this restaurant. Amazing food and a really good vegetarian/vegan choice, more along the lines of what you’d get in London. Everything was fantastic, will happily come back when we are in Windsor again.

Excellent meal with the family. Visited due to the atrocious food at Legoland and glad we found this gem. Lovely historic restaurant and friendly staff. Not cheap but well worth the money.

Absolutely lovely little place. Staff were lovely. Food was delicious. Great service! I think it was the best prawn toast I’ve eaten. Would certainly recommend this Gem of a restaurant.

We had an incredible dinner here. The food is proper authentic Chinese food and is absolutely delicious. The service from Tim was also second to none and I even got to practise my mandarin with him. Highly recommend and we will be back! 非常感谢！

After several home deliveries, we decided to try dining at the 1423 restaurant in Windsor. It was a wonderful experience, we’re all very well looked after, we felt welcomed and I can guarantee that the food was the best Chinese you can ever have in...

Three of us went here on a lovely warm evening, and sat at a table outside on the cobbled street - so a great start! Waiters were friendly and quick. But the food... WOW! All of us agreed it the best Chinese we've ever had....

IGNORANT RUDE STAFF I’m sure the food is okay - but the staff attitude was disgraceful - not much more to say - other than I won’t be going back.

The menu is comprehensive and has plenty of vegan choices if that is what you are looking for. The staff were attentive and friendly and, on a warm July evening, it was lovely to be able to dine al fresco in the pedestrianised street. The...

Firstly it’s caveat emptor - buyer beware - and know that there’s a 10% service charge atop the already stonking prices. We opted for the set meal for two at £33.95 per head and with 3 diet cokes our bill was a tad under £85....

Nicest Chinese I’ve had bar Hong Kong. Nice setting and staff were friendly. Will be back before going home.

Highly recommend, food is absolutely delicious and service was amazing, so friendly and really clean, highly recommended 🥰 Not a think left on our plates 🥰

Great food and friendly staff. Live in Windsor and will go back again, not just for tourists. Within the town centre so close to Castle and shops.

The singapore noodles and Szechuan chicken were great! The service was very good and I would definitely recommended to everyone

We came here for lunch. Locationbia great close to Windsor castle. Could sit outside. Food is authentic Sichuang cuisine. The service is amazing too.

The historic feel of the building is amazing and the options for vegans were outstanding! Kindest, Hayley

Located inside a little house in the heart of Windsor, the atmosphere was cozy and reminiscent of a traditional Chinese country inn (that comes straight out of a 'Wushu' movie set!) Distinguishing itself from traditional British - Chinese fare, its Sichuan - style cooking places...

Food and service were great. Don't visit the chain restaurants, visit here instead! Great veggie/vegan menu as well if you need it. There are tables to sit outside if the weather is warm enough on a cute little cobbled street. Hidden gem, a must visit...

Loved it!! Service was great and loved the food. All empty plates around the family. Nice atmosphere with very authentic food. Makes me happy

Yet again we were treated to fabulous food and super warm service from the excellent gentleman at 1423. I was treated like a Princess!!!

We were four of us here for a birthday meal and it was a truly memorable experience with a superb menu and lots of vegan choice (two of our party were vegan), excellent service and lovely location down a little cobbled street so close to...

One of the best Chinese restaurants in Winsor, close to castle and we are Really enjoyed meal and tea, lovely staffs and restaurant and will definitely come back

We enjoyed here an amazing meal and lovely Chinese tea. I was also very impressed by the staff service. I will definitely come back.

The Manager was so helpful, the food is delicious. I am Impressed by the food, is real Chinese food 😊 the menu have a lot to choose from. Thank you Chris

Great food, great service, lovely location. We had a mix of vegetation and meat dishes, all fresh and delicious. Vegetable dumplings are superb. Recommended.

I visited 1423 today for a late lunch OMG I had the best salmon ( its called Fish Fragrant) and Mongolian Squid. The Restaurant decor is amazing its Oriental meets Oldy World. It's just near the Castle in a beautiful cobble stone road . It's...

We came here once before and brought back more family because this restaurant is amazing! Such a phenomenal vegan range — so nice to be able to have some favourites again. Will definitely be back and would recommend to all! Great portion sizes and great...

Another excellent meal at 1423 China Kitchen. Always look forward to visiting them when we are in Windsor. Look forward to coming back later in the summer and once again ordering the Mongolian Beef !!!!
