Artist Corner at Copthorne Tara Hotel in Kensington and Chelsea

We came here for the good reviews and we were in the vicinity- pricey for what it is. We ordered laksa which was good but pricey, hainanese chicken (tasted good but difficult to eat due to the way it was presented) and hokkien mee (this was just ok...).

Its our first time staying at the Copthorne hotel in London. The staff is so friendly and food was amazing!

Laksa was good! Hokien mee... Not so much and the Hainanese chicken was ok. "Free dessert with a google review" is not a proper desert. They offer an ice-cream ball, which we declined. Place is quite hidden in the hotel and they will close at the minute they tell you.

Nice little gem in the earth of Kensington. Delicious food

Absolutely fantastic restaurant! Really good short menu of Singaporean/Malaysian classics, all dishes were delicious, the Hainanese chicken rice was better than many I’ve tried in Singapore. Service was 10/10 too - thanks for a great experience!

Nice food! Definitely recommend trying their signature dishes. I’ll be coming back for sure!

Very friendly staff, excellent authentic food.

Hainanese chicken is a bit rough but the whole dish overall is amazing. The laksa is more spicy than I expected but it was very delicious

It was good experience today I came with my Gf we enjoyed alot there is manager Bebe he greet us very well …

The food are as good and as fresh as those cooked and freshly prepared in Singapore Hawker centre or food court. Very happy me 🥳🥳

Found this place through the first table app and was so happy with the food! Highly recommend the chicken satay and the laksa :) Thank you for the lovely service too!

The food are lovely, and a nice place, not too noisy and great environment to enjoy.

Absolutely delicious food. Head chef came round to say hi and ask how our food was which was much appreciated and sweet. Talked about the history of the dishes and the authenticity. Chicken satay to start with and Singapore laksa for main and it was phenomenal. Highly recommend. Attentive staff but not too much.

Had the loveliest time and the food was absolutely delicious! The chef came and personally introduced himself! The flavours are divine! I had the Singapore Laksa!

Great food and even better service!

Had a team lunch there so the menu is a sampler of a lot of dishes and my favourite was Char Siu on the Man Tou (chinese buns), their Satay and Beef Rendang. They grilled the satay (not fried) so the meat is still very moist and just like what you have in the hawker center in Singapore. I love the Man tou so you can order it as a side to go with dishes with which has a sauce like beef rendang. The restaurant is tucked in a hotel so you do need to know the place but very close to the tube station. My singaporean colleague said the Hainan chicken was very authentic. Worth giving the restaurant a try as there aren’t so many authentic Singaporean or Malaysian restaurants around.

We were several people so had lots of different dishes and they were all terrific but my personal favourites were the Laksa and the Beef Rendang. This is authentic Malaysian/Singaporean food at its best. If you like it spicier just ask Chef Lee who is happy to oblige!

Ordered the laksa, the chicken rice and the Mongolian tofu starter. Would recommend all three of them! Laksa has a great balance of coconut milk, belacan (?) and curry. Was also full of tofu, bean sprouts, seafood etc. The chicken rice came seasoned well and the three sauces were fantastic - the chilli and ginger/garlic were my favourite.

Very nice service staff was attentive and the atmosphere very conducive for conversations.

Great food. Highly recommended.

Tasty and authentic food, very quick and attentive service

The laksa it’s very yummy and the service is excellent ^_^

As a Malaysian, I must say this place really exceeded expectations. Food was amazing and great Ambiance Will definitely come back again, Highly Recommended !! - Char Kuey Teow 9.5/10 - Hainanese Chicken Rice 9.5/10 - Singapore Laksa 9/10 Note to establishment - please include teh tarik on the menu. & Chendol if possible :)

Great place for some Singaporean food. The atmosphere can be improved, maybe a theme to remind us of things in Singapore. The menu can also be accomodated for more spicy palates on customer request. Thanks!

Amazing hidden gem! Loved every dish and tasted really authentic! Really recommend the Hainanese chicken and laksa noodles. Staff were really friendly too! Can’t wait to come back

I had a great experience at Bugis Kitchen! The atmosphere was cozy, and the food had a perfect mix of traditional and modern flavors. The staff were super friendly too. Definitely recommend trying their signature dishes. I’ll be coming back for sure!

Authentic Singaporean foods. Service was amazing!

Bugis Kitchen offers authentic Southeast Asian flavors in a cozy setting. The Hainanese chicken rice is tender and fragrant, while the laksa delivers a rich, spicy kick. Portions are generous, and service is friendly. A great spot for anyone craving classic Singaporean dishes in London. Highly recommended for comfort food lovers!

The food was an absolute delight—authentic, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish was packed with rich flavors that transported us straight to the heart of Southeast Asia. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring our dining experience was perfect from start to finish. Whether you're craving hearty Laksa, tender satay skewers, or perfectly cooked Hainanese chicken rice, Bugis Kitchen does it all to perfection. Highly recommend this gem to anyone looking for a memorable meal. We'll definitely be back soon! 😊

it tastes great and the price is not expensive.

My twin girls were craving for asian food and the egg fried rice truly saved the day. The adults ordered nasi goreng spicy and laksa, so glad it was actual spicy food. Food was delicious and we're thankful for this place.

Good food and service. Excellent place for guests living in the hotel with 15% discount.

The chicken rice is very delicious. The rice is soft, the soup is smooth, the chicken is soft and thick. Just the right amount. It's very similar to the chicken rice in Thailand. Really delicious After eating, I feel very homesick ><

Delicious!! Felt like Singapore. They have tiger beer!

Amazing food! laksa was delicious and the Malay chicken curry was unreal.

The hainenese chicken was so good, definitely try.

The laksa was also spicy and delicious.

Delicious authentic Singaporean food !

Great food! On the more expensive side but the ambiance is very relaxed and the chef is so nice!

Absolutely delicious food and a lovely setting. Very authentic!

It’s a bit pricey but the laksa was very good!

Sad to see the staff lack of food knowledge on what’s carbs and protein. Confused customer that he got frustrated and left. Waiters don’t know knowledge of Singaporean and Malaysian food served here. Menu not well specified on the dishes. Taste was good and happy, I am a regular here

Simple which does not mean basic. genuine and tasty. Courteous staff. Ate early eve and almost empty but midweek. Recommended alone or with Singapore-cuisine liking friends who happen to stay at the hotel.

amazing food good prices, would come again!

We love coming here whenever we visit London. The food reminds us of home! Delicious and authentic in flavour.

Hainanese rice is very good chicken tender and the rice is cooked with chicken soup which makes the rice taste better not like usual plain rice.

Authentic food and good service.

Great to taste real Asian food again.

Sandeep and the team were wonderful. I had the Nasi Goreng (highly recommend) and the head chef came to see if there was anything that could be improved upon. Excellent customer service, excellent food! Highly recommend!

Flavorful Hokien Mee (noodle dish) with prawns and pork belly but far too salty. Portion is on the small side given the higher prices compared to other Malaysian restaurants in London. Superb service though in a quiet environment. Very clean.

Great hidden quiet place with one very decent Hainanese chicken in town! Prices are on the high side though. - this review was written because they give you 3 scoops of ice cream (Haagen-dazs!) if you write a review 😋 -

Really enjoyed our meal here, the food is very authentic and delicious, I also loved the presentation of the dishes which adds to the whole experience, the atmosphere and decoration are pleasant and tastefully done, the staff are all polite and attentive, the environment is peaceful and very clean. Sandeep and Uday are great waiters.

Meal was delicious and the staff were so friendly. Would highly recommend the prawn starter, and seafood Laksa as a main!

Great food, and Sandeep offered great service!

Hidden gem tucked at the back of Copthorne Tara Hotel. Great food and friendly service. I'll be sure to return and try the crab - looks tasty! Thank you for a lovely experience.

It's our first time to try this restaurant ☺️ ordered Char Kway Teow and Bak Kut Teh. Both dishes are tasty and authentic. Restaurant staffs are friendly and provide good service. Will definitely revisit again.

The Singapore laksa was excellent and authentic. Just the right level of spiciness and richness from the coconut milk. The ingredients are fresh and goes extremely well with the flavourful broth. One feedback - would be nice if there is an option to have bee hoon noodles other than the regular yellow noodles. Attentive service by Sandeep as well. Well done.

Amazing authentic Singaporean and Malaysian dishes. I could have been in Singapore it is that good.

Amazing food, loved the nasi goreng was soo good , spicy and tasty. Staff is amazing, specially Emma who was very kind and nice :) The manager Bebe was really good and made sure we had an amazing experience

Tasty, but not particularly spicy. Had the nasi goreng which was full of flavour and nicely presented, but needs to be more spicy to be authentic. Very friendly and attentive staff.

Staff very pleasant, food tasty, a bit of a surprise to find this place in such a location.

Good food at a reasonable price. My daughter and I will come here again the next time we stay at this hotel. The staff is polite, provides quick service, and the food is tasty.

Good food good service from Emma and Sandeep.

Very good service from Emma, Abbas and Sandeep. Food was excellent, fantastic experience!

Hidden gem of Kensington. Top quality food, excellent service, felt very looked after by Emma, Abbas and Sandeep

Laksa was great- flavorful and generous amount of ingredients. Service was impeccable too!

Great experience and the food is amazing. Actually never taste the Singapore and Malaysian food so authentic. Highly recommend for the bak kut teh and the Hananese Chicken. Thanks for Sandeep and Emma with excellent service!

Lovely small restaurant tucked away in Kensington. Lovely food and service.

Food was excellent. It was also value fir money.

Delicious food, no complaints at all. A quiet night this the quiet atmosphere

This lovely restaurant is a relaxing way to wind down and enjoy a bowl of noodles with exotic flavor and spices. The staff are kind and courteous. Worth a visit.

Hidden gem in kensington. Food is delicious and not many guests. Definitely enjoy the time with friends!

Very original and tasty recipes and quality service, the chef even came to thank us and ask our opinion at the table Just a little cold in the room Thank you very much for this discovery of Malaysian cuisine.

The food is amazing here, especially the laksa! Love it!!! Good environment and fantastic service 🤩

Amazing food, I love their beef rendang and red bean sago. Nice atmosphere and perfect service from their staff. Will definitely recommend it to everyone to love southeast asian food.

Best Laksa I've had. Great and fast service. Will definitely return

Thank you for a wonderful meal. The staff were highly attentive and we loved meeting the head chef. Excellent service and great food. Sandeep was super kind and looked after us very well. Would definitely recommend!

Service was so slow, there was one waiter and a manager who disappeared half of the time. Food took 45 minutes to come! The food rescued our experience. Laksa was rich and tasty, Haines chicken rice was authentic. We would skip the crab next time because it was very small and poor quality, didn’t seem fresh. Some items on the menu were unavailable which we thought was strange as we were one of the first customers for dinner service.

Awesome food excellent service what's not to like❤️

Really good food, well presented and nice staff

Free ice cream for 5* review. Good ice cream 👍

Fantastic food wish I’d tried the crab!

Excellent service and hospitality definitely recommend and worth a visit.

Took a chance and booked via First Table - would not go again, especially at full price. You can find better Singaporean/Malaysian food in Chinatown for cheaper prices. Each main is at least £15. We ordered the laksa, Hainanese chicken rice and Hokkien mee. Out of all 3 dishes, only the laksa was decent and authentic. As a Singaporean, I can vouch that Hokkien mee never has dark soy sauce in it. The version here was closer to the KL version which uses dark soy sauce but it wasn’t exactly right either. It was more like stir fried noodles. The chicken rice wasn’t very flavourful. Service wasn’t very pleasant either. The gentleman serving us was very curt and cold, bordering on passive aggressive. He hurried us to order, reminding us that our reservation started at 5pm. We asked what the dining time limit but he just said they had tables booked for 6.30pm and 7.30pm and didn’t give us a clear answer. Once we ordered, he didn’t bother us anymore. We ended up staying till 7.30pm and there were no customers waiting for our table or any other tables by the time we left. Also, there are QR codes on each table promoting free dessert in exchange for a Google review. When we asked, Bebe just said that the free dessert was ice cream and didn’t include any of the desserts on the menu.

Neat and professional presentation Friendly service and prompt attention

Found Bugis Kitchen though First Table! The restaurant is very nice and service is very attentive! I am gluten free and the staff were very accomodating by double checking certain dishes with the kitchen. I had the Char Kway Teow and I couldn’t fault it- very generous serving and super tasty!

Absolutely delicious Singaporean food in London! The service was very attentive and friendly, thanks to Mr Bebe and Sandeep! It is a hidden gem tucked into a Copthorne Tara Hotel. I recommend the Laksa! (Huge bowl and great flavour and spice). The char kway teow was delicious too. They have good gluten free knowledge, with a allergy menu to help. They can also modify dishes to help. Everything is priced as you'd expect for London but you can get a discount through first table and a free icecream with a Google review! Large range of drinks too (including cocktails) which are all well priced for a restaurant in London. Highly recommend!

Excellent food with perfect flavour. We took Nasi Goreng and HHainanese Chicken, there were fabulous. Would highly recommended. Leena and Touheed

Nice quiet atmosphere. Food was very flavourful and came in nice big portions. Prices are very reasonable as well so definitely worth a visit! We got the Singaporean laksa and the Hainanese chicken :).

Great location and very nice food!

Very descent environment and very good food. The laksa is amazing.

Good service, wonderful location, fabulous food, enjoyable atmosphere! Strongly recommended

The highlight for me was the Hainanese Chicken Rice – tender, juicy chicken paired with fragrant, savory rice that brought back memories of Singapore’s hawker centers. The chili and ginger sauces were the perfect accompaniments, enhancing the overall experience. Another standout dish was the Laksa. The broth was rich and flavorful, with the perfect balance of coconut milk and spices. Every bite was a harmonious blend of textures, from the fresh prawns to the soft rice noodles.

Really authentic food with a nice chill vibe. Attentive service, chef kindly greeted us as well.

Yummy food, fantastic service. Sandeep and Bebe were awesome servers. Bebe was a funny guy made our dinner enjoyable. 😊👍🏼

Very tasty dish with noodles, fish and pork.

A lovely dinner with very friendly and efficient service. The char siew pork was absolutely incredible - can highly recommend!

The food is great with very kind and awesome staff that was very patient with us.

we booked through Firsttable, and had a great meal filled with flavour - highly recommend the big bowl of laksa (filling and delicious) and also the bak kut teh which felt like I was healing my body. beef rendang was very fragrant, meat was a bit dry, still tasty eaten with rice. Billy the head chef came out to talk to us and asked for feedback:) lovely vibes in the restaurant. Recommend !

Beautiful hidden gem of a place. Gorgeous atmosphere and charming vibes. Special thank you to Bebe and Sandeep 😊
