Bugis Street Restaurant in Kensington and Chelsea

Friendly warm welcome, comfortable surroundings, and excellent service from the team. Can't say one of our dishes was duff - everything perfectly seasoned and super tasty. I'd recommend this spot without hesitation. Can't wait to return!

A Culinary Adventure at Bugis Kitchen: A Taste of Southeast Asia in London Tucked inside the elegant Copthorne Tara Hotel in London Kensington, Bugis Kitchen is a hidden gem offering a delightful journey through the rich and diverse flavours of Southeast Asia. During our visit, we indulged in a variety of dishes that left our taste buds singing. Here’s a detailed account of our culinary adventure. Starters: A Promising Beginning Chicken Satay Our meal began with the Chicken Satay, featuring corn-fed chicken skewers served with cucumber, red onion, and a spicy peanut sauce. The skewers were perfectly grilled, tender, and flavorful. The accompanying peanut sauce added a rich, nutty depth that complemented the freshness of the cucumber and the sharpness of the red onion. Mongolian Prawn Next, we tried the Mongolian Prawn. This dish featured succulent prawns in a light batter, stir-fried with a sweet and savoury sauce infused with a hint of black pepper. The prawns were delightfully crispy on the outside while maintaining a juicy interior, making it a standout starter. Mains: A Feast of Flavors Chicken Curry Malay Style For the main course, we savoured the Chicken Curry Malay Style. This dish showcased tender chicken pieces cooked in a blend of authentic Malay spices, with okra, potatoes, red chilli, and coconut milk. The curry was rich and aromatic, with a perfect balance of spice and creaminess that made it incredibly satisfying. Beef Rendang The Beef Rendang, a slow-cooked beef stew with coconut milk and spices, was another highlight. The beef was melt-in-your-mouth tender, and the complex flavours of the stew were deeply comforting. This dish is a must-try for anyone who enjoys robust, hearty flavours. Chilli Crab A visit to Bugis Kitchen wouldn’t be complete without trying the Chilli Crab. The whole crab was braised in a spicy-sweet egg gravy that was simply irresistible. The sauce was so delectable that we eagerly mopped it up with the accompanying Mantou Buns, not wanting to leave a single drop behind. Char Kway Teow The Char Kway Teow was a delightful stir-fry of flat rice noodles with egg, prawns, beansprouts, a hint of chilli, and sweet soy sauce. The noodles were perfectly cooked, and the dish had a wonderful smokiness from the stir-frying process, known as "wok hei." Nasi Goreng Our final main was the Nasi Goreng, a flavorful fried rice served with satay, shrimp, peanut sauce, prawn crackers, and a fried egg. This dish was a delightful mix of textures and flavours, with the peanut sauce adding a rich creaminess to the perfectly cooked fried rice. Desserts: A Sweet Ending Bubur Cha-Cha For dessert, we sampled the Bubur Cha-Cha, a dish of taro, sweet potato, and pearl sago infused with coconut milk. The dessert was pleasantly sweet and had a comforting, creamy texture that was quite enjoyable. Red Bean Sago Lastly, we tried the Red Bean Sago, a red bean sago infused with coconut milk. While I didn’t personally enjoy this dessert, my wife found it quite palatable. The unique texture and flavour combination may be an acquired taste for some. Service and Atmosphere The service at Bugis Kitchen was exceptional, with Abbas ensuring we had a memorable dining experience. Additionally, all the meat served at the restaurant is Halal, catering to diverse dietary preferences. Final Thoughts Bugis Kitchen offers a vibrant and authentic taste of Southeast Asia in the heart of London. From the rich and spicy curries to the sweet and savoury seafood, every dish is a testament to the region’s culinary heritage. If you find yourself in London Kensington, a visit to Bugis Kitchen is a must.

Wahrscheinlich waren wir nicht nur Müde an unserem ersten Tag, sondern auch gesättigt. Der Zulauf an Gästen war an diesem Abend enorm und kaum wurde ein Tisch frei, war er schon wieder besetzt. Hier wird singpurianische Küche geboten. Die Portionen sind gross bemessen und sollten geteilt werden. Ebenfalls sind die Stückchen nicht gerade mundgerecht in der Küche geschnitten, so dass man mit den Stäbchen Mühe hat, die Bissen in den Mund zu krieben. Geschmacklich war alles so wie wir es bestellt hatten.

Super lekker gegeten en hartstikke vriendelijk personeel op een locatie wat je niet verwacht. Smaakvol, relaxed en fijne suggesties.

Just wanted to share my opinion of this place. I recently went on a bussines trip and stayed in the hotel. I was impressed by the general ambiance and it doesn't get exceptionally busy. Me and my colleague shared some dishes but what I wanted to emphasize was how well we were treated by the waiter there. I was suprised there was only one person working there but end of the day we were satisfied with the service provided.

WOW talk about deceptive pictures by the restaurant! We ate there on Saturday night around 9pm Yes the restaurant décor does look like the pics but this was let down by the fact that three tables were left not cleaned. In their defence they only had two people on duty (clearly the restaurant is trying to squeeze as much money as they can) doing everything for the entire restaurant which got a bit busy! Still at some point you do need to clear and clean the tables. There was a 8 seater table next to us which for the duration of our dinner was never cleaned. Very poor service. Now the food: 1. Chicken dumplings. The pastry was extremely thick with very little filling. 2. Aromatic duck- crisp to the extreme, you needed a chisel to break it up. 3. Hoison sauce - like tasteless tar. 4. Spring rolls (vegetable) sadly missing the vegetable! To be honest Iceland does a great value Chinese meal. Its better value and tastes far better. Overall a bad experience! Would I go back- Never.

Service is friendly. I had the Laksa and the Hainan Chicken Rice, which I think are the most Singaporean dishes on the menu. Chicken rice was so-so: the rice lacked flavour and the broth was a bit thin. But the Laksa was superb - full of prawns and sliced fish balls bean sprouts and decent noodles - and reasonably priced at 16 quid for a big big bowl. Broth was rich and spicy but not too much (could have taken a little more heat). I didn’t really need two dishes. If you are in the area or staying in the Tara Copthorne this place is worth a try.

Basically we went here only because it is a part of the hotel we were staying in. The food is decent so is the service and so is the ambience. Nothing too great or bad about this place. Decent if staying at the hotel for a meal, else would not necessarily recommend. Overpriced as well.

Fantastic authentic food in a great intimate restaurant. Loved the laksa soup. Great service and reasonably priced.

This restaurant features Singaporean cuisine. It has a mixture of Malaysian and Chinese dishes. I enjoyed a chicken satay starter followed by beef with ginger and spring onion as my main course. Delicious.

Food is delicious, staff are amazing and the service is impeccable. Next door to a bar but not needed as they serve the drinks.

We ordered the Hor Fun, the sweet and sour pork and the Tofu Goreng. The hor fun was nice n had wok hey. The pork was equally good and tasty. Tofu goreng is a little spicy but is yummy too. Restaurant is near the train station. Just 3 mins walk away. Worth a try!

Thanks for a lovely meal! Service and staff were friendly. Food was also flavourful. Salt and pepper prawns was my favourite. Family and I had a good time. Will definitely be back again soon 👍

Fantastic Food, are here 3 times this week! I just love their King Prawn fried noodles and their Stir fried vegetables. I also tried the egg rolls, sparibs and Satay chicken. I always drink their Jasmine tea and enjoy their excellent service.

Table not cleaned after previous occupant, with dried food and glass stains on it even though there was fresh cutlery and drinking glass. Although only a couple of tables were occupied I was not shown to a seat and after a wait of about 15 minutes was asked if I was ready to order even though I had not been given a menu. I chose sweet and sour chicken and was asked what rice I wanted with it but not told that this was not included in the price of the meal. When I came to pay I found it was £5 for a very small bowl of fried rice. Exorbitant even by London standards. The wine I requested was out of stock and my second choice did not arrive until about 10 minutes after my meal was served (on cold plates). Only two waiting staff that I could see and one appeared to be in training. Not good enough in a restaurant attached to what is supposed to be a 4* hotel but, in fact out did Fawlty Towers in attitude and service. See my review on Copthorne Tara for fuller details.

4.5 rating. All the Asian entrees we had are on point. Nasi Goreng, Mi Goreng, Laksa, chicken rice are excellent. Seafood horfun was delicious but didn’t have as much gravy as I would get from a hawker center in Singapore. For dessert, we had the glutinous black rice soup which was good and fried banana fritter which didn’t quite taste right as plaintain was used. Also both desserts were presented with strawberry ice cream which doesn’t quite match. All in all a good authentic taste restaurant.

Comida asiática de calidad. Platos con sabores exquisitos y cuidados. Atención extraordinaria. Nada que ver con la comida ofrecida en ChinaTown

Held a buffet lunch for 40 family and friends to celebrate a 70th Birthday at this restaurant. Coco and her team were so accommodating and ensured that the whole event went off smoothly. Food was an amazing selection of quite authentic Asian fair to cater for a diverse range of ages.

It was raining and we were hungry so we decided to eat at this Asian restaurant in the Copthorne Tara Hotel just off High st Kensington. We had hot and sour soup with lobster that was great , sweet and sour giant prawns that was delicious and Singapore noodles that were divine. We finished off with Jasmine tea. It was a lovely meal

Located within hotel so convenient, staff very friendly. Food was average but acceptable. I was hungry so did the job. With more time I would have gone out

El restaurante está en el Millennium Gloucester Hotel pero no parece un restaurante h tel. El ambiente es adecuado, el extenso menú abarca platos singapurenses y malayos. Lamentablemente no ofrece chile o cangrejo de pimienta, pero tuve un excelente laksa, una buena prueba de cualquier restaurante. Los platos de fideos, albóndigas y pato de Pekín elegidos por mis invitados también fueron muy buenos.El servicio fue lento pero no importó demasiado. Recomiendo este restaurante para los fanáticos de la comida asiática del sudeste.

Vinci y Coco nos hicieron sentir muy bienvenidos. Tuvimos la mejor experiencia y nos encanta el ambiente.La comida era tan deliciosa y el servicio prestado por Vinci y Coco fue tan amable que volvimos a cenar durante toda nuestra estancia en Tara Copthorne Kensington. Los precios eran más que razonables. Tuvimos la mejor experiencia y nuestras papilas gustativas recibieron una increíble selección de comida asiática.Vinci y Coco gracias por su excelente servicio y hospitalidad, es simplemente espectacular. Le recomiendo que visite este restaurante y pruebe la excelente comida.

Lovely big Bar and large restaurants with very good breakfast. the rooms are fine - take city view but on high floor - railway below

If you are staying at the copthorne hotel you can stay in for dinner and eat at the chinese restaurant which has very nice staff and an excellent choice of food. I can recommend the pork chops as starter.

We ate in this restaurant as we were staying at the hotel for the night. We received a warm welcome on arrival. My sister had the 3 course vegetarian set menu and I had 2 courses off the Gluten Free menu. The waiter told us that normally the set menu would be for 2 people but they agreed to do it for my sister. I had chicken hainanese, which was absolutely delicious. For Dessert I had Mango Sago which was very tasty. Both myself and my sister were very happy with the food and the service. We would happily eat here again if we are in the area.

I normally do not go for chain establishments but glad we popped in when we were in the area. Good authentic flavour. Recommended

Si ha estado fuera de casa durante bastante tiempo y le falta comida asiática, este es un buen lugar para ir. Ubicado en las cercanías de la estación de High Street Kensington, podrá obtener deliciosos buñuelos de Singapur Laksa y Banana con helado. También servían arroz con pollo Hainan, Nasi Goreng, Fried Kway Teow, etc., que aún no he probado.

Almorzamos tarde, las porciones eran lo suficientemente grandes para compartir, por lo que todos podrían haber intentado todo. ¡Y todo lo que probé estaba muy sabroso! Teníamos pato aromático crujiente, y luego un poco de pollo, cerdo y ternera como platos principales, ¡todo muy bueno! Y los lados también.

Después de haber estado fuera todo el día en la ciudad, era genial tomar una copa y comer sin salir otra vez.

Service was nice and enthusiastic. Place needs a little attention and feels old and a bit tired. Food was ok but nothing special. There are lots of wonderful Asian restaurants in London... don't waste your time with this one.

Good value of money.Good portion size. Had yellow noodles with beef & chicken. My friend had flat noodles with bean sprouts, strimps, chicken& pork. Was amazing . surely will use it again. Staff was quite helpful.

Prompt service but didn’t feel rushed. Particularly enjoyed the salt and spice king prawns and shared dim sum

Cold crispy duck Waitresses ignore you and answer while turning their back and walking away Very hard to be able to pay Will never come back

We had the sweet and sour prawns and egg fried rice. Very tasty.. So was the lichee cocktail. Great service too. Would go again.

Our family comes from the Far East and decided to check out this restaurant as we're sceptical over the high ratings given by TA contributers. Our family of 4 adults had an early dinner on a Saturday night. The restaurant wasn't busy at all. The salt and pepper spareribs were too oily which means poor control of temperature of oil for deep frying or deep frying more than once. We had seabass fillets with black beans sauce, sautéed beef with black pepper sauce, stir fried kai lan (broccoli ),stir fried long beans with minced meat and sautéed prawns. All were average at best and were lacking in depth of flavours. Our order of 1 additional bowl of white rice took a relatively long time to be served. Prices are slightly higher with smaller portion sizes compared to the average Chinese restaurant.

We ordered the chicken rice and laksa. The taste of both dishes were authentic like those in Singapore. Nice & pleasant ambience.

Check in was atrocious. Having arrived early in the day I confirmed my reservation and was told my room would be ready at 2.pm. My partner arrived at 3pm after a long journey and the room was still not ready. This, despite numerous people arriving and checking in as their rooms apparently were readily available. It was gone 5pm when I was eventually given a room and only then as someone offered me their room as they could see I was ready to explode. This meant that a dinner appointment had to be cancelled as I was attending a show in the West End later on. I was met with numerous explanations and apologies and told "We are rather Busy", their problem, not mine. Room was fine as was food, bar service very poor. Will NEVER stay there again.

My friend and I had lunch at this restaurant, ordering off the Lunch Special menu, which was excellent value. However, when I return, I will order off the regular menu, as the meals around us looked much more interesting and tasty than what we had. I'll return to try that!

The advantage of a restaurant inside a hotel ought to be flexibility for the guests to eat - not so. Besides the lack of room service, which is perhaps forgivable (I went myself to get a take-away nasi goreng the first night, which was decent), the other thing you expect is for them to respect some set opening and closing times - or at least the sacred rule that once you accept patrons, you give them service. After a long day my wife and I decided to eat here and walked in at 2100 and ordered dinner. By the time we had finished our soup starters, the other guests had finished their meals and started leaving, so that when the mains arrived the waitress promptly brought us the bill as well without asking if we wanted desserts, while her colleagues started shutting up shop. The boorish behaviour was unfortnately mirrored in a pretty tasteless peking duck I was served. Ultimately if they can’t be bothered to welcome patrons they shou;d turn them away at the door, as the food is very pricey (too much) and they charge just as though you’d had a proper dining experience.

great value for money. very tasty. spot on with the spices and look of the food. the bottle of beer was not cheap, but then this is London!

The setting looks great and menu was interesting but the spicy prawn noodles I had was so so and could be made better. Would like to try other food they have though and check out if they are any good.

Soy un viajero de negocios. Yo comer fuera mucho en todo el mundo que tienden a dejar comentarios restaurante donde sólo estoy contento con la experiencia. Todavía estoy en mi mesa en este restaurante acabo de disfrutar su Pato Pekín entre otros platos. Wow sin duda es el mejor que he probado, carne tersa y tierna que sencillamente no hay exceso de grasa en la boca. Gracias. El bar a, que lo tarifa todos los demás, sublime, delicioso.

We go to this restaurant whenever we are in London. The food is fresh very tasty. Today we had crispy duck and sliced beef with black bean sauce, yummm! Ask for Vincy!

Superb food ,clean and neat restaurant with friendly staff .location is close to many other restaurants and shopping mall.Few steps away to the bus stops and train stations.Nice environment and friendly staff.

Terrible terrible service. Ignored by the waiters for 30minutes, then finally got one man’s attention... he was very rude. Unfortunately tip of 10% is automatically included in the bill

Almorzamos en la calle Bugis y quedamos encantados tanto por la calidad de la comida, el servicio y la presentación.

We stay regularly at the Copthorne Tara, so eat here a lot too. It used to be great, but the quality dipped for a while. So, it gives me immense pleasure to report that they’re back to their best again.

Not impressed with evening meal. Tea/coffee always cold at breakfast. The choice of breakfast item's are great and staff very good. I like a hot cuppa with my breakfast this was not to be.

The menu had changed since my last visit but the choice is still great. We took friends with us for their first visit and they were really impressed and will also return. The food is excellent as are the wine choices. The service is first...

Was staying nearby and we were not in the mood to go hunting for a restaurant. We went here and were the only customers in here. For a Saturday night, I found this quite bizarre.

We decided to try this restaurant on our final night in London and were not disappointed. Excellent appetizers and mains and the service was friendly and very professional. Thank you to Coco Jessie Andy Jiaqi Vincy and Lilian for your wonderful hospitality. X

Stayed at the Copthorne Tara Hotel for a couple of nights where this restaurant is based.

The best food ever, all cooked to absolute perfection, service was excellent, staff lovely, polite and helpful. Beautifully furnished and clean restaurant. Exceeded all expectations, I'd give it 10stars if it was an option. Definitely will be back for more. Thank you for a perfect meal.

Visitamos aquí cada vez que estamos en Londres y la comida es fresca y deliciosa, y son rápidos si tienes prisa. Saludan a Jenni y Andy cuando estás allí!

Comida encantadora. Ahora estoy en amor con Malasia comida! Aunque toda la comida parecía atractiva y bien presentada.

Restaurant is not easy to find as it is hidden inside the Tara Kensington. Food is however great and genuine. It is a real pity that the place is so dull.

Hemos viajado extensamente en Asia incluyendo Singapur un presupuesto cadena de zapatos así que siempre juez un restaurante por lo que muchos lugareños comer allí. Lo mismo aplica a la calle Bugis cuando fuimos en como éramos los únicos occidentales, así que sabíamos que iba a ser bueno. Mejor comida asiática que tenemos desde Singapur hace un año, el auténtico sabor y aroma. El servicio es amable y rápido y la decoración nos recordaba de tantos restaurantes en Asia, pero no como el Bugis Street solía ser hace 20 años! ! Si te gusta la comida china asiática a un precio razonable, este es el lugar.

La comida es de calidad inferior. Mi compañero de viaje entiende chino y oí vulgaridades utilizado por el supervisor para hombres. Así de crudo y totalmente profesional. Él estaba hablando por gran tiempo al personal femenino. Así inaceptable. Mejor comida asiática en otro lugar.

Este es un restaurante chino con un menú grande ubicada en un hotel justo al lado de Kensington High Street. Pedimos para llevar. Vivimos en California, donde hay una gran población china, así que nuestras expectativas para comida china es alta. No nos encontramos aquí. La comida estaba bastante bien. Ninguno de los aperitivos a la de entradas se destacó en ninguna manera. Nada especialmente bueno o malo. Sólo pasable. Comida china Cuando el aspecto más memorable de la comida era el servicio amable cuando ordene, que dice que buscando mejores opciones. Vivimos por la calle pero no regreso durante nuestra visita a Londres.

We had a group of ten. The food came out at such irregular times that when some were done others had not had a bite. The wait was irregularly long and the staff needs to learn better English. My fish was not enjoyable. I asked for lemon and pepper and fixed it up myself. None of us in the group had a great time because of the way the food came out haphazardly and the wait many of us had.

After a very hectic day at the conference, all that we wanted was delicious food and friendly service. Lilian was brilliant, she saw we were tired and she suggested some fabulous food and ensured we had everything to make the evening enjoyable and memorable. Highly recommended. We will definitely meet there regularly from now on, Thank you

Food was reasonable and tasty but was really impressive was the friendliness and the care offered by our server Lillian.

Even given the recent favourable reviews on TA, we were a little apprehensive - chain hotel restaurants are notoriously hit-and-miss.. add to this that my better half is not a huge fan of Chinese-style food in the first place..But in short - it was a delight. Our meals were hot, fresh, and prepared with genuine skill. The dishes are generally simple; but those we had were masterfully executed. The Hainanese chicken (with rice) was delicately flavoured and succulent, and the accompanying clear soup is​ a very nice touch. The punchy ginger and chilli sauces on the side were excellent too.Service was every bit as good as the food - professional, knowledgeable, courteous, friendly - all at just the right level... very many thanks to Denzel and Lilian for looking after us so very well!In fact, we enjoyed it so much we went straight back the next day for the set-lunch menu... where the Hokkien Mee was a lovely, velvety, noodle dish.I didn't mention the decor - hardwoods, red lanterns, mood lighting... plenty of room between tables too. Good stuff.All in all, a cut above what we'd been expecting, and just what we needed at the end of a holiday. We will return!

I had the fried beehoon. It was so tasty and also a good sized portion. Service is good and prices reasonable. From the many South East Asian customers, it is clear that this restaurant serves authentic food from this region. Will definitely go again.

At the Capthorne Terra Hotel, the Executive Lounge staff of the restaurant were Great, hard working and friendly. Liam was totally in charge and seemed clairvoyant to our needs.

Really enjoyed the Singapore Laksa & Prawn Mee. Great food, lovely ambience and exceptional customer service, especially from Jacky who had been friendly and attentive.

Ate here while staying at the hotel. Very enjoyable experience. A nice mixture of food styles. Good quality and very tasty. Nice atmosphere and not too big a room. Friendly efficient staff and reasonably priced.

We've eaten at Bugis Street, in the Copethorne Tara Hotel, twice and really enjoyed Mee Goreng and Kung Po Chicken, but didn't enjoy the chicken satay. The staff in the restaurant are very attentive, but our meal for two has worked out quite expensive without any alcohol.

My family and I stayed at the Copthorne Tara Hotel from March 13-March 18. We didn't have a lot of time before going to the theatre so we decided to just eat dinner at the hotel. We love Chinese food so we chose Bugis Street Restaurant. I had the prawns with pan fried noodles, my mom had the sweet and sour pork and my daughter had mushrooms with season vegetables. We each loved our meals so much. We all agreed that our meals were in the top 5 of the best meals we've ever eaten. We liked it so much, we went back the next night. I would very highly recommend this restaurant. The next time we're in London we're going to make it a point to eat there even if we're not staying at the Copthorne Tara.

Great food, great value for money. It tastes like being there. Service also more than adequate. Great job Coco, Andy and their team!

Ask for Lillian, her service is excellent and the food is very, very good. overall the restaurant is very good but some of the other staff service leaves something to be desired.

This was one the best Chinese meals I have ever had. The staff were polite, pleasant and very helpful. The food was delicious especially the Crispy Aromatic Duck.The meal was value for money.

I had dinner here after a long day tour. I ate here because it is inside the hotel where I'm staying. I just walked in with my backpack and a bottle water. When the waitress took my order, she had a strange look on her face (like I did something wrong), she look at my bottled water strangely when she asked if I want anything to drink. I said no I am okay I will just finish my bottled water and she gave the same strange look like there is something wrong. Little do I know I wasn't aware that I'm not suppose to bring it to the table and drink it. As soon as she walked away after she took my order, her manager approached me. She can barely speak in English properly and politely. She pointed at my bottle water and said I can't drink my bottle water. She didn't even say I am sorry or I apologize unfortunately we do not allow any drinks that are not from our restaurant. As simple as that no bid deal. I was fine with it why is it such a hassle for them.The waitress saw me before she should have just told me from the very beginning before she gave me a table. I would understand and put it away. Instead she has to make such a big deal like I committed a crime. They are lack of professionalism and totally clueless how to communicate with customers. And the food is not that great either.So it is a thumbsdown.

シンガポール焼きビーフンとブロッコリーのニンニク炒めを注文しました。味はあっさりめの食べやすい味付けです。3泊する予定のロンドンですが、3日連続で通うでしょうね。^_^

WE only had a limited time to eat before we had to get our train back to Lancashire. We were in the company of our son's in laws who are Chinese Malay and eat here quite a lot.Our food chosen was the lunch buffet inc Laksa soup, belly pork, Singapore noodles and the like. The food was well presented wonderful in taste and appearance. We had jasmine tea to accompany the meal and the attentive staff could not do enough for us. The whole meal was excellent value, wholesome and very tasty. I would recommend eating here and will definitely be back next time we visit South Kensington.

Whenever we are in London, we're sure to go to Bugis Street at Copthorne Tara. Be sure to say "Hello@ to Andy and Donny, they take good care of their customers!

Had dinner here as part of our stay in the hotel. Food was really nice and staff very helpful. We were not sure of what to eat and the waiter helped us with the specialities. We ordered sea bass and some king prawns with rice. It was all very good. Price is very good so totally value for money.

We visited this very upscale restaurant purely as we were staying in the Tara Hotel, but it is so good, we would have willingly travelled out to it.An elegant, almost 'clubby' colonial decor with elegant and well spread out tables.The service is elegant and courteous.The food is wonderfully authentic and as well as a good selection of westernised dishes, there is a menu section offering authentic ethnic dishes.These are amazingly good, and we enjoyed a good selection.The ambience would be improved by linen napkins, and the Italian house white is best avoided.Save those two niggles we enjoyed a wonderful two hour supper, and our second bottle, the Australian Pino Grigio was very palatable, if somewhat overpriced, as is the entire wine list, but then this is a four star hotel in Kensington.

The staff are really friendly and helpful with the selection of food. Chef is willing to accommodate to cook according to your personal taste and liking.

Visiting again after many years, the food is exquisite, tasty, excellent, and different Oriental cuisine. The staff is very friendly and service is fast. Ask for Coco, and she will take good care of you with a great smile!

Across the street from the Holiday Inn Kensington Forum and near Gloucester Road tube station this restaurant is quite easy to reach. The food is of good quality. Some native Singaporeans or Malaysians may disagree of course, but it is as authentic as you can get in this part of London. There's a decent selection of food and I always seem to end up ordering the Taiwanese chicken hot pot. Contains: chicken :-), mushrooms and tons of garlic. Very recommended. Also if you want a nice sugar rush there's a great desert called "gula melaca" which is tapioca with plam sugar syrup and coconut milk. Very nice. Prices are decent and the staff always attentive but perhaps it is because we do go every time we're in London and chat them up. My recommendation for good service is if they are not busy to chat them up a bit and not bark orders at the staff. Works wonders.

Staff are disconnected with average food and an almost no interest approach to service, this is such a wasted opportunity

Very good restaurant to conclude a busy day. Nice and friendly atmosphere and very helpful staff. A must go!

Trecked across town to eat here quite late at 22:00 on the fact that they advertised to be open until 22:30 only to be told they closed early. Spoke to front desk who tried to explain that 22:30 was closing them, and not when the kitchen closed. I expect much better from a hotel of Thai stature. Very poor.

This restaurant is hidden in a hotel.. The Chinese food is honestly some of the best Chinese food we have ever had. We enjoyed a set menu which was £20 each but well worth every penny.. Starter, mains and pudding. Highly recommended.

First and foremost this is a tourist grade hotel restaurant. So within that context, Bugis Street is great. Good range of Asian cuisine and pleasant ambience. But it's a very British hotel dining room serving Asian food. It was quite busy and the food is inexpensive. Alcohol is quite ridiculously expensive at £5.50 for a small bottle of Tiger beer. But that's London. Prawn toast and Laksa was about £15. Service and a couple of beers brought the bill to almost £30. But the food was good so I am not complaining. And the set menu options for people from £20 to £22 for two is really good. Service was ok, varying between surly to intrusive, but they did their best. Happy to eat here again whether staying in the hotel or not

Had a banquet "Peking" here last night with 7 others 20 pounds each food was very good we also had Chinese tea which ended up being a rip off as they charge you for the tea and also per cup. we were going to leave a tip but this rip off changed my mind. Also made sure that they took off the "optional" 10% service charge from the bill which was 15 pounds so watch out for that as well when paying. It was ashame bill caused problems as the food was very good.

On a Sunday (early) pm the restaaurant was empty and the maitre d was a bit surly. The nasi goreng was not bad.

This is the restaurant we had our first nights meal and was very pleased with the food and service. This was also the location for our breakfasts whidh were also very well prepared and service excellant

Since we were staying in this hotel, we were very tired after being at wimbledon all day so we decided to see if we could get a meal in the restaurant linked to our hotel.We were given a seat immediately. The food was lovely, I ordered chicken noodle soup then sweet and sour chicken with boiled rice. My friend ordered chicken sweetcorn and a sort of chow mein dish. We both loved our meal. My sweet and sour was cooked lovely and the chicken coating was very crunchy but lovely.It was quite expensive as it was after 5pm. They do a deal up until then which is good value for money so our meal was a bit more expensive.

Used this restaurant five times over last two years and 'in-hotel food' for the price is very good. The service is excellent but recommend booking as it can get busy. No problem recommending this to the traveller who does not wish to search for better.

We were about the last customers for the day. Service was good and friendly. Very quiet for a Sunday night but then again it was rather late. Restaurant was dim & feels expensive. Our orders were mixed vegetables & fried noodles. Very ordinary food for such a classy looking restaurant!!

Enjoyed trying Singaporean cuisine for the first time but found the entrees to be a bit overpriced- typical with hotel restaurant fare.

One of the most notable things about this restaurant is that all the staff are obviously of Asian origin and understand the products that they sell. Similarly, most of the customers are of Asian extraction and one can see quite a lot of families and business people using the restaurant. It is great value and offers food that tastes fresh and very good. Our most recent visit was the third time we have eaten there and we have not been disappointed yet. As in all good restaurants, sometimes when you leave you feel that have eaten too much - that is not the restaurant's fault and it is a credit to the quality and taste of their food.

This used to be a great place to eat, but now it's not so good. Whilst the food it still very tasty, the service is so sloooooow. Saturday night & only 2 tables being used and yet everything is excruciatingly slow - why?????? There's no one here. What would it be like if it was busy?

This restaurant has great food, Singaporean, Szechuan, crispy duck, and lots of other dishes! Nice atmosphere, and staff.

Nicest things about this restaurant is the atmosphere. The food lacked flavor, fried rice was terrible. Service was good. Will not return.

Great food and ambience. Good and efficient service at a moderate price. Definitely recommend the char kwa teoh and the hainese chicken. Brilliant.

we wanted to have our evening meal early as we were going to the Albert hall at 19.30hrs for a concert(Art Garfunkel)so we tried this place as it is inside our hotel building.We were very pleased with the choices on the menu and the food / service was excellent we will use it again and recommend it to anyone who likes Asian food

Had dinner with my work colleagues and the food was excellent in addition to the service provided. Thank you Coco, JingJing and Chef Goh.
