China Diner in South Bucks

Over the last few visits we've noticed that the prices have escalated and they've cut costs on prawn crackers and complimentary chocolates and hot towels. Even allowing for inflation, we didn't expect to pay £25 for two pots of hot water and two spoonfuls of Jasmin tea (you could by a small plantation for that). There are equivalent quality Chinese restaurants in the area (Little Chalfont being one). the equivalent meal would be 20-30% cheaper, or better still go to china town and get stunning food (still cheaper than here). Or just go to the wholesaler Hoo Hing in Park Royal, buy a wok, and cook your own (even Dim Sum). Shan't be going here again.

Always great food here, the best Chinese around. My only bugbear is it can get noisy, as with most restaurants these days, if on a large table, it can be hard to hear everyone.

Great Chinese, good variety on menu, we had a party of seven and everyone enjoyed

small portions, very expensive and tasteless

I took my wife here Wednesday as it was our 20th Wedding Anniversary, pre-booked beforehand. We were welcomed and shown to our seats, shortly after asked if we were ready to order drinks. The food was amazing and the staff were well dressed and attentive but not in your face. Only thing that could be improved would be background music and a couple of fortune cookies. Would we come back, definitely.

Very very good nice staff will go again soon. Yes been again very very good . Will be going again soon .

My family really enjoyed our meal here. The food is excellent and I especially enjoyed the chicken and cashew nuts as well as the Toffee Banana. The atmosphere is also great and our seats were very comfortable in the American-style booths. Very appropriate given the restaurant's name.

Best Chinese ever, mouth quite literally exploded with happiness

A really good quality Chinese restaurant. It was busy, so obviously it's a popular place. Service was quick, friendly and attentive. The food was very good and felt like it was a cut above your bog-standard Chinese restaurant. Not cheap, but it didn’t feel excessively overpriced.

I went to China Diner for a big family dinner after my husband had had lots of takeaways and was always suggesting we go for a meal. I’m Latin and not used to Chinese food, and I had never really enjoy what I had tried since living in London but the meal we had a China Diner was incredible. My husband was right, for once. We were made to feel incredibly welcome by the family who run the restaurant, the dining room was beautiful and elegant, and the food was spectacular. We ordered the set menu and loved every single dish. My favourite was the beef in black bean sauce 😋 Can’t wait to go back!!

Far and away the best Chinese food in the county

We were welcomed by friendly staff who were attentive and enjoyed our delicious choices from the menu. Although the restaurant was small and busy, the tables were well laid out and the noise level okay.

Visiting family locally and saw the good reviews so thought we’d give it a go for a takeaway. Ordered the set meal for 2 which was a huge selection and very good value. Large portions, food was all hot and freshly prepared. Good service. All the dishes were delicious- would definitely use again if in the area.

I love this place been eating here for many years but the food this week was poor Lacking in flavour Singapore noodles were bland & my mix vegetables were tasteless ☹️

Best Chinese around and the staff always go the extra mile

It was an awesome experience. We ordered crispy seaweed which was amazingly balanced with sweet and salty. The chicken in black bean sauce with chicken fried rice was very tasty , although the portions were small. Chicken sizzler was great Definately recommend this place if you are looking for authentic Chinese experience.

Want great Chinese food?? Look no further, this place is amazing!

I had chicken and crabmeat soup,monks vegetables and chicken in field noodles.With a mineral water and service it came to just over £28.Very reasonable all round.

Excellent food and service as always

Delicious food and excellent service

Excellent food Excellent service friendly staff who were very tentive but not over bearing.

This place used to be really good . Now food is tasteless. Too much vinegar for everything. So uncomfortable sit and enjoy the meal as staff is constantly looking at you ( straight) . Didn’t enjoy one second. 🤦‍♀️

I don't get up to Beaconsfield often but it certainly is my go to, beautiful food and cold white wine, what more can you hope for, always busy

Excellent service and great food

Amazing food. Need to order your own prawn crackers though.

Although food was good and service excellent, the service at the end of the meal was awkward!! After finishing our meal ( Friday night 10.30 ish) they clearly couldn’t wait for us to leave, we had wine left to drink but felt so awkward and that we were in the way, we asked if they wanted us to wait outside!! Have never felt so uncomfortable in a restaurant in my life. ( and I eat out a lot) I never write reviews but felt so strongly about my experience that I just had to !! Shame as food was good, think Covid has made them lazy !!!

Food and service was absolutely amazing!

One of the best Chinese restaurant u have visited. The food and service was amazing. We will definitely returning.

Good vegan/vegetarian selection, Food is OK, but definitely doesn't justify the price. But the service!!!! In their defence, they do tell you over the phone, they have no high chairs, what they should do is say they do not allow children!! They were rood, impatient and even complained aggressively when we left, saying we made too much mess!

the nicest chinese meal I have had in years, we were lazy and just ordered the set meal, absolutely superb, from beginning to end, nice bottle of wine will certainly return when I am in beaconsfield

A lovely restaurant, with great food and service. We had one guest with a nut allergy who they genuinely looked after. The best dishes include the honey pork, crispy broccoli, Thai herb prawns and shredded smoked chicken. Thank you for a lovely evening, I hope we are local again to enjoy the food.

Love the food at China diner, finding parking around might be tricky but you can park behind by the M&S parking lot. Service is always great and I always look forward to dining here.

Good standard of food, very good service, unexciting menu

Fantastic food along with very welcoming and personable owners. The manchurian lamb is a must! Definitely recomend

Firstly I can't say enough about how good the service was. It was a busy night but at all times we were closely attended and looked after without feeling awkward. My only niggle on the service was when a waitress removed one of my plates whilst I was still chewing my last mouthful. Never did we have to wait overly long for anything, the place was spotless as the cleaning up and resetting up for their next guests was unobtrusively carrying on around us. The management and running of events was a true state of art. Now to the sad bit, the food. We had one of their set menus. The prawn on toast I would not eat. The prawn layer was pitifully thin, as you might expect from a low budget all you can eat buffet restaurant but fell way below that standard by being sodden with grease. I had high expectations of the food but the rest was only normal run of the mill standard. Sauces were thick and syrupy, chicken rubbery. I can only think that maybe if we had steered well clear of the standard menus and gone al a carte it may have been a different story. Price wise just over 90 quid was steep given the food quality being nothing special,

Excellent food and service. Highly recommended.

Really friendly staff when we phoned up with late notice to book a table at 9pm. They were ever so accommodating to us and our two little ones. Very gentle, hospitable and the food was beautiful. Beautifully decorated and clean toilets. Thank you for having us.

Been wanting to try out the food here for a while and finally decided to get to it. We had a warm reception by the staff, and our orders were quickly taken. The food we had was delicious and we felt taken care of by the staff and the owner. The overall hygiene of this place looks well taken care of. Can't wait to come back here again!

Very expensive for very small portions. There were no customers even it was Saturday.

Food was amazing, great lunch, such good value!!! The restaurant was spotlessly clean.

It’s the only place I know that does twice cooked beef, which is delicious. Everyone is lovely there, and I really like the new decor. It’s pricey, but we’l worth the 40 minute round trip it takes us to order a take away!

Best restaurant in Beaconsfield.

First time experience is very good. The sweet and sour sauce is definitely not the ready made sauce what most of the takeaway use. This was really fresh and nice. I will be back again soon.

What a great find. We went for lunch to celebrate Chinese NewYear. Very clean bright and pleasant restaurant. Very good food and reasonably priced. The duck and pancakes and fried noodles with chicken were great as we're the Peking Chicken noodles. We enjoyed our time.

Take away for 8 people and the amount ordered was spot on as per their suggestion. Food was well presented tasted great and nothing left. Really like the Singapore noodles, chilli beef, kung po prawns. Hadn’t been to China Diner for a while but will definitely return.

Just had a lovely meal tonight. Staff were friendly and quality of the food was first class.

I’ve been to all the restaurants In beaconsfield. China Diner is the best. First Class 👌🏻👊🏻

Wow Wow Wow! Thank God we booked… Friday & Saturday they have 2 sittings, one at 5.30-7.45 and 7.45 onwards. We booked for the first sitting on a Saturday night for us, my parents & my 9 week old baby in a buggy and the entire staff were so accommodating and lovely! They made us feel at ease, kept telling us our buggy wasn’t an issue , checked on our baby when they checked on us and were just so accommodating! Amazing food, fabulous staff & an overall brilliant atmosphere! Just make sure to make a booking, especially on a busy weekend so you don’t miss out! Can’t wait to go back 🥰

Absolutely fuming with this place. We walked in and asked for a table for 3, the girls said yes no problem just one minute, then a woman came over and they had no tables! The place was empty!! She turned us away because we had our 2 year old daughter with us!!! Disgusting service!!!!!!!!!

Loved it, great food, great service

Delicious food served by wonderful, friendly staff

Visited the China Diner 12/11 with my colleague, having visited the David Lloyd beaconsfield prior, ordered quite a few starters which were imo below even an average standard , generally Luke warm dry and tasteless with salt and pepper ribs being completely over cooked , myself and my colleague did at this point consider cutting our losses; paying and leaving before ordering mains , however , were rather hungry so agreed we’d persevere and try the mains , although slightly better than the starters, I’d say they were average, the food in my opinion was £20-30 pp buffet standard. Now comes the shocker , whilst eating the mains (to be precise , the beef in black bean) my colleague almost broke his tooth on some form of foreign object, appeared on closer examination to be some form of plastic/glass? , a waiter (male 40-50 years) appeared on seeing my colleague in discomfort and upon request bought back some water , at this point my colleague is naturally very concerned as to what the foreign object is and is questioning the waiter, what it could be , who replied to our horror with a smirk ‘calm down its not that serious is it’ upon questioning exactly what he meant by such a remark he said he’d call the manager , a lady then appeared and examined the foreign object and said it looked like black bean , i then pointed out with my fork ‘it’s hard and sharp’ , no apology or anything just said I’ll go and see the chef , sometime later , she returned and said we aren’t sure what it is but it hasn’t come from the kitchen (it was in the food so where else has it Come from?) she then stated she had removed it from the bill , at this point the bill is not even going through our mind , our concern is 1) what is this foreign object ,2) how has it ended up in the food and 3) the hygiene concern! All the lady seems interested is the bill , my colleague at this point expressed annoyance verbally at the fact he’s just taken this foreign object in his mouth which he has no idea what it is and all the lady seems Concerned about is the bill , at which point the lady had the diabolical liberty to ask is this what you do, go around restaurants doing this’ ?!? We are both shocked and horrified by such a suggestion! I then interjected with excuse me! She then tried to change the subject , I said no no no just back track a moment, im lost for words now I literally cannot believe the attitude of the lady, never have I been so insulted in all my life! I then went on to say given this diabolical attitude you are displaying and insinuation that we are some sort of common criminal and more over the health risk you have exposed us to , with all due respect you must be crazy if you think I’ll be paying! At which point someone else came over , whom I would assume was the owner , who rudely said don’t worry leave and don’t come back! Absolutely shocking behaviour from all staff involved , upon us leaving, the lady very uncouthly shouted from the bar area , I hope you enjoyed the free meal! The meal as above was below average so no we certainly didn’t enjoy ! More importantly we were both disgusted by the attitude of said staff members, and on that note and to close, certainly cannot recommend!

Had a takeaway Great food friendly staff one of the best Chinese takeaways Iv had. Been looking for a decent one in the area and have finally found one. Will definatly be dinning in next time.

The best Chinese food in England fullstop. There is no other establishment that even comes close to this restaurant. The food is always impeccable and absolutely delicious. The service is outstanding and runs like clockwork from when you sit down to when you walk out of the door. Such a gem in Beaconsfield. Thank you.

We turned up as a family of 4 last minute and they gave us a seat for 1.5 hours. We ordered a few starters (which took an age to come out), a main and a dessert...food was very nice but a little pricey for what we got. Annoyingly we were charged for chilli oil...never have I ever been charged for this in any Chinese restaurant before. I didn't bother arguing the point if that is how they charge, but thought it was a little cheeky

I would highly recommend this restaurant. Excellent meal, lovely table, very efficient staff and service- felt very well looked after throughout.

We had dinner in this restaurant a busy Saturday night, of course we had booked a table in advance. The staff was very helpful, our orders served relatively fast even was a busy night. We enjoyed everything from starters to mains and desserts. Our food was very delicious and at the end of the day prices are very reasonable. Definitely we will dine again in this place.

Extremely attentive and kind waiters. The food on a scale of 1 to 10 maybe a 7.5.

Dinner with family. Fantastic service. Perfect cooked food and portions. Relaxing atmosphere not cheap but worth it. Parking in local high street car park

A superb Saturday night feast...being a vegetarian and the rest of the Boyz being meat eaters....they kindly did me set meal for 1 as the Boyz all went for set meat meal. The food absolutely gorgeous... especially the Sweet & Sour Seitan and Tofu in Yellow Bean sauce and the no crispy Duck ...top stars all around.

Food here is great but it is unfortunate that the service is poor, staff making weird faces when asked questions and very cold as soon as we entered, also felt like we were being hurried. I will have to stick to their takeaways instead.

Expensive but good quality and service

We have been having takeaways from this restaurant since lock down it has ways been very l Yesterday we went with friends for Sunday supper a set price 3 courses, fantastic food amazing service polite professional but really friendly and so fresh will certainly go again

Fantastic food, really quick service. Always a great place to get dinner

Food and service excellent but was very expensive £60 a head.

We have been going to this restaurant for about 30 years, but having moved away, this was our first visit since I was diagnosed coeliac and need to eat gluten free. They could not have been more helpful and reassuring, talking me through the procedures for minimising the risk of cross-contamination before we booked. When we were there, they made us feel so welcome and knew they needed to be careful. The food was superb - plenty of choice and the aromatic duck (with lettuce leaf wraps) was heavenly! They even brought out a pot of gluten free soy sauce for me. The rest of the family enjoyed their selections too, and we all left feeling full and happy.

Lovely place. Unassuming from the front - walk in to a contemporary styled place with nice lightening and good temperature. My son had soup as a starter, then we moved on to have peking duck and pancakes - very tasty and just the right side of crispy without being burnt. For main course we had shezuan chicken, dry Chripy chilli beef and Singapore noodles. Very good taste - although a little bit dry. Would highly recommend for a very good tasting Chinese.

Love this restaurant. The food is always of the highest quality, as is the service. It has recently been refurbished and looks wonderful. Only thing that took the gloss off an otherwise perfect evening was that we were there to celebrate our son's 18th birthday and a drink on the house would have been a lovely gesture as I've been going there since I was a child and now take my own family as often as possible. Still highly recommend as the best Chinese restaurant in the area by a country mile!

I went to this place with my husband and 4 year old son for dinner . The food was not very good ( very oily ) though the plate size was small and expensive. Major turn off for us was being asked to keep our son Quiet ( he was just playing with his Toy cars ) Please Next time hung big sign outside “NO KIDS IN CHINA DINA “

On Thursday night I was very lucky to be taken to China Diner, Beaconsfield. The staff were excellent, the restaurant full. The service was very good indeed & the food very good indeed. From lovely crispy duck to spring rolls, breadcrumbed prawns to meaty spare ribs. The Tsingtao beer went down well as well. The meal was priced at £38.00 per head.

Best chinese food i’ve ever eaten in the UK 👍🏽👍🏽

A beautiful refurbishment - but the food is still the same fantastic quality! Sizzling fillet steak is superb!

Delicious food and always consistent.

Another fabulous dining experience from China Diner team. The moment you walk in you are welcomed appropriately and seated. The food is delicious and portions are very always perfect for my taste. I’m always appreciative of the freshness and quality of the dishes not the quantity. The Jasmine tea is very refreshing and served with the correct temperature. Sea bass was fresh and full of flavour. Crispy duck divinely shredded ready to eat. Staff and management have always been most welcoming and friendly. Lastly, those with big chip on their shoulders should give this place a miss, so we regular visitors get our table. Another visit coming soon.

This very recently refurbished restaurant is an absolute gem. The service is friendly, the restaurant looks great and the food is fantastic. What more could you want! 5/5

You are in Beaconsfield it is gonna be expensive but oh my god is it worth it we have come here for the past few years now for my mum's birthday and well the service is always of the highest order, the food is always delicious and the setting and how you feel inside the restraunt is great too

There was a large group of us. Was okay and food was good. However service felt a bit rushed. Felt like they wanted to get rid.

Freshly and perfectly cooked Chinese food. The food was impressive and the service of the highest standard. This is a restaurant we will return to.

Quick service. High quality food. Brilliant experience.

We had the set menu and it was delicious. We swapped the chicken sweet and sour for a pork dish and paid the extra.

Best Chinese food in a very large area. No competition anywhere near!

Lovley food and top class service. Always go there

Hard surfaces so a bit noisy and no background music.

Service good. Owner & other staff very friendly. Food is delicious .

Superb take away, all freshly cooked, no waiting was ready exactly on the time we requested. Will definitely come back.

Superb food as always, the staff work so hard to make sure you have a great time. Service was attentive and faultless. Top marks to Pui and Eric for a brilliant Chinese New Year.

Probably the best Chinese food in the area. Being a party of six, we chose a set menu @ £30 a head which gave us 3 huge courses without puddings. We couldn't finish any of the courses but they did offer a takeaway bag for the remainder. I've eaten here several times and never been disappointed. Highly recommended.

The China Diner Restaurant within New Town Beaconsfield Bucks England , is a fine Oriental Cuisine place to go. It’s a family and disability friendly access eatery! With a very friendly Staff, and clean environment in seating area too. With a vast , interesting and varied Chinese Menu of delicious meals to choose from. It’s about average on menu prices for a very fashionable area. Tourists will love this Restaurant and the cosmopolitan local town to roam around before, or after their meal here. I fully recommend a visit !!

From.the minute we booked our table we were treated like a nuisance. Difficult to get the attention of any of the servers and no chance of a smile. Food was very average. Ive had tastier meals with friendlier service from back street take aways. Overall a rather unpleasant dining experience. Would not return to China Diner.

Excellent food and service. The staff are so warm and friendly. Food Is delicious. 5 stars all round!

I have been going to this restaurant since it opened and though I can't remember what it was like then I can highly recommend it now. Food was excellent and staff very friendly. Fixed menu and easy option with a good variety. Will be back in the new year.

Had a takeaway the crispy chill beef was more spicy then normal

Food good but unsmiling, dour & unhappy looking waiting staff. Week b4 Xmas & they close at 2pm!?. No mention of this when I booked. We felt rushed as the bill was suddenly bunged down on the table as if to say "time to go"

Excellent! The steamed Sea Bass was delicious. Very good service from friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommend.

Always amazing! Best Chinese in the area. Very friendly service.

Picked up a SUPERB takeaway tonight. Service fast, food all superb. Love the sweet & sour sliced fish. All food steaming hot and freshly cooked.

Was looking for something away from the M40 offerings and came across this spot. Friendly place with a lot of locals popping in for takeout. I really enjoyed the crab sweetcorn soup and the mains were cooked well, fresh and vibrant.

It's always a real treat to dine at the China Diner. The food and service is always excellent. I have no hesitation in recommending this restaurant both for eat in and takeaway.

First time experience. Good food but small portions. Service is good. Environment is great for friends gathering. Will be back definitely. 👍

Food yummy Service polite and prompt Atmosphere 5 stars plus with my company However the restaurant interior is very bland but I think Chinese restaurants are generally like that
