Gold Mine in City of London, Westminster

Just like any dim sum place in Asia, good and authentic atmosphere. Nice staff. The XIAO LUNG BAO is not good, not worth trying. The roasted duck ordered by my neighboring tables look really nice, if it’s reli good, I give another five star review

Best Chinese restaurant outside of Chinatown. Can't fault it. Been going here for a few years now. Great food, amazing Dim Sum, friendly staff. Friendly atmosphere.

I am a big fan of gold Mine and always get a big warm smile from Yong. Best Cantonese in London!

Life changing roast duck! It’s juicy and tender and delicious! Ordered half a duck for 2 person to share!

Duck was good but the rest is soso

Waiters are nice but food is garbage, arrives instantly so that’s the first sign of trouble. Wings are very fatty and would be awful without the garlic. Sweet and sour chicken looks like and tastes like it’s made from Miranda orange and is inedible. Dumplings are tasteless and the noodle dish made me sick. Add all that into the price you pay for these dishes and it’s an utter disaster. Feel sorry for the waiters because they are the one redeeming factor about this place.

Food was amazing and very quick. Slightly on the expensive side but well worth the price!

Excellent food, awesome company and wonderful staff - Sam.

Chinese restaurant with loads of Chinese people enjoying the food. Do you need more of a sign that the food is great and authentic..

BEST CHINESE IN LONDON. FULL STOP authentic, red carpets everywhere, quick service, really really good food !

The food was amazing. Very tasty. It's a very large restaurant. But the service is so and so... Aafter we finished our main course, the waiter gave us the bill, without offering desert. We felt like we were kicked out... The bill was detailed only with the names of the dishes, but without the price of each one, only the total.

Dim sum are yummy and all staff are attentive & friendly. Happy with Jay’s service. Highly recommend.

Food was average. The duck is supposed to be their speciality but didn’t impress me I’m afraid. there are many other Chinese restaurants that are better near there.

If you must eat here , then keep an eye on your spend and check your bill carefully - these people routinely overcharge tourists

Yahhoooo this place is lethal I never wanna leave yeppappapapapap unreal gives you the shits but the food is way to good got take in and hadda get extra to take home to the wife and kids you don’t understand it’s like Euphoria eating yeooooooooo get in son the only Chinese I’ll ever get after a night out the wood is way to good

Highly recommend Hokkien fried rice here. Great spot for late night Chinese dinner.

Great food but service slow. Forgot items, had to reorder and ultimately cancelled items.

Gold Mine on Queensway is an absolute gem for Chinese cuisine lovers! Its location is incredibly convenient, just a short walk from Bayswater Station. We had a booking for a Friday night but arrived slightly late due to traffic. The staff were understanding, ensuring a smooth and welcoming experience. From the outside, the restaurant may not seem that large, but it actually spans multiple levels. While the ground floor has a bustling atmosphere with closely arranged tables, there are also separate rooms for those looking for a more intimate setting. We were seated towards the inside of the restaurant, which offered a bit more privacy and made for a comfortable dining experience. The atmosphere at Gold Mine is relaxed and casual—nothing overly fancy in terms of decor, but warm and inviting. The focus here is undoubtedly on the food. The menu is extensive, offering a huge variety of dishes, including different meats, vegetarian options, and a special dumpling selection. The food quality was great, and every dish we ordered was absolutely delicious. We started with the spinach dumplings, pork dumplings, and turnip cakes from the special menu. The grilled turnip cakes were a standout—crispy on the outside, soft inside, and had an interesting taste. A must-try! The roasted duck was simply exceptional—perfectly crispy skin with juicy, tender meat. We initially ordered a quarter portion to sample it, but the team generously upgraded us to a half, which was a lovely surprise. The braised tofu stew was another highlight, rich and full of flavour, and the vermicelli were also pretty good. We paired our meal with delicate, light tea, which complemented the flavours beautifully. Service was very good - attentive and impressively fast. We had a lovely time and we will definitely be returning. Highly recommend!

Food is not as great as the other located in China town, unfortunately

Disappointed. The prices were outrageously high for what you get. The food was not only greasy but also lacked flavor. To make matters worse, the portions were incredibly small, leaving us still hungry after the meal. For the amount we paid (£80 for 4 dishes), we expected much better quality and quantity. Definitely not worth the cost, and I won’t be returning.

Disrespectfully overpriced for the horrible quality and portions. Basic and particularly fatty Chinese catering cuisine. To flee!!

Great food with great company. The restaurant staff are friendly and helpful.

A super spacious place frequented by both locals and Asian families, so that guarantees good food and a great experience. We didn't need to make a reservation or anything, and they have vegetarian options. My friend and I had soups and half a Peking duck, and it was delicious. The service was fast and friendly, so I definitely recommend it.

Amazing food fresh and full of taste with love.

Very good Chinese restaurant in Queensway, London. The food is very nice but simple and got served very quickly. Casual and relaxing atmosphere, The staff are very nice, friendly and give good service. I was never disappointed whenever I went for a quick lunch or a fine dinner...love it.

As always, a staple for the best roast duck in town. Must visit everytime

Really good Chinese restaurant with competent service, nice ambience and delicious food. Would come back

Food was pretty decent- ordered quite a bit even for my solo dining. I felt it was relatively normal waiting time. The attendant was nice & apologetic for the wait but sometimes could forget if too overwhelmed so a little reminder would be good. I think overall service was great tbh (friendly & quick) but the only sour note was upon payment when the waiter clicked tip without asking. Would have been better to wait for customer to bring it up before deciding on his own (waiter look to be in his 30s).

**peanut allergy parents!! Super helpful staff for my kiddo with an allergy. Really appreciate the transparency, support, and willingness to make a family meal out stress free.

The roast duck here is just awesome. There’s a reason why it’s packed. They’ll prepare it for you to fly out upon request

One of my favourite dim sum places in London. Live around the corner and am a regular for both dine in and takeaway. The food is always delicious! Especially love the crispy beancurd and prawn cheung fun, their crispy duck and xiaolongbao.

Great dim sum and duck on the bone only disappointment were the more Chinglish noodles

Must try roast duck. No need more wordings.

Best meal ever in London. Delicious duck and golden Sand pork chop. Excellent service.

Excellent service and food. Duck is the best in London

great out school chinese serving quality food

The roast duck and BBQ meat at Goldmine are absolutely outstanding and delicious! The staff are very friendly and provide excellent service. Definitely worth a visit! 👌

The best Chinese food in London! Every time we order something new, everything is so delicious! My favorite is shrimp changfen！

Good food. Excellent service. Staffs friendly & helpful.👍

The staff were so welcoming and friendly and the food was delicious. I can't wait to eat here again!

Staff are friendly & nice, food was comforting!

Excellent food authentic and delicious. No fusion confusion in sight. Go early or reserve bcos the place gets packed . We dined here with friends and the experience was great.

The food was good, the atmosphere was not too bad at all, and the service was extremely speedy. It did feel a little rushed at times as waiters hovered around mostly to collect used items, but then I dont want to complain as they could have been slow at serving and not collecting items at all. It was a Saturday afternoon, so it was really busy.

Excellent service and food. Fast and enjoyable.

Amazing food and service as usual. Hearty meal….

Really great food, amazing atmosphere. However, service could be faster.

Had a great takeout experience! Ordered Peking duck and asked for extra sauce and cucumber slices—they were super generous with it. Portions are good, and definitely worth the money. Will be ordering again!

Esto fue asqueroso, la mina de oro fue el peor lugar donde he tenido comida china en el mundo, ni siquiera lo llamaré restaurante. La comida estaba fría tuvimos dim sum. Pedimos costilla de par de cerdo, en una salsa de frijoles negros. ¡La salsa era incorrecta! El puerto como graso y lleno de huesos y grisesel. El dim sum vegetal era insípido y no tenía verduras en él y el molde era horrible y demasiado pensante y sombrío. Recomendaría el lugar, a un perro

Exceptional service and outstanding food at this renowned roast duck specialist restaurant. Every dish was expertly prepared and full of flavor. Highly recommended. The roast duck here is absolutely fantastic—crispy skin, tender meat, and full of flavor! One of the best I’ve had in London. A must visit for Roast Duck lovers in London.On top of that, the service was excellent—friendly, attentive, and made our dining experience so enjoyable. We were truly impressed by the exceptional service from Ms Linda and 峰.Their attentiveness, friendliness, and professionalism made our visit extra special. Thank you for making our dining experience so memorable!

This is our go to place for roast duck and crispy pork.

Absolutely delicious! I'm a big fan of Ho Fun with Beef, and this was some of the best I've ever had. The noodles were perfectly cooked, the beef was tender and flavorful, and the sauce was just right. A definite must-try!

Very nice staff member great response 🥂

Amazing food and very friendly staff

Had a great time at Gold Mine! Lovely and excellent service by hostess Ah Ping. Thank you! :)

As with many places, Gold Mine has really gone downhill in the last few years in terms of value for money. Firstly, my biggest bugbear is that whilst they’ve always had a 12% service charge which is not itemised on the receipt, they now are very pushy about getting a tip on top of the service charge. Clearly they count on many customers not realising that they’ve already been charged. To add to that the food portions are smaller and the cost of dishes has gone up considerably. There’s no excuse even with inflation to charge circa £18 for simple veg side dishes of beans, broccoli or choy sum. . The quality of the food doesn’t seem quite as good as it used to be. Last two times I’ve visited I’ve left feeling ripped off and so I won’t be visiting again

Has been there since day 1 Friendly staff. Love the roast duck!

Been eating here for 17years every time i come to London. Great food and great service now that we have a connection

The roast duck tastes good and the waiters are also very nice. It’s worth recommending.

Nice place a short walk from Bayswater station. I have come here for a lunar new year dinner the last two year, and the food has always been great. As you’d expect, they have a huge selection and variety of dishes available, and I have never been disappointed eating here. The service is nice enough; pretty much what you would expect – efficient and to the point.

Great food and great staff, with classic Cantonese style cuisine. The roast duck is famous, but we found other dishes were also delicious, such as the braised beef brisket, stuffed tofu and Malaysian style chicken curry.

Used to be a reliable spot but we went here on a busy Chinese new years eve and the food missed the mark

Food is really good and restaurant staffs really nice

Awesome roast duck, delicious and authentic

Blessed me with two fortune cookies about love 10/10

Went here for Singsoc meal. Food was bussin. Staff were extremely helpful and kind. We go so many fortune cookies and they asked us if we needed rice resup. Overall great.

the foods were so so good!! definitely remind me of home food!! love the roast duck!!!

The environment is very noisy, and the gaps between the tables are very small, yet the food is more expensive than in an average Chinese restaurant. The last time I came, the food tasted pretty good, but this time, every dish was served in just three minutes, and they were all a bit cold. The roasted duck was also very greasy. When I brought it up to the waiter, they refused to admit that the food was pre-made and claimed it was their “secret recipe.” The staff and service were very unpleasant. At checkout, they even asked if I wanted to add a tip. A terrible restaurant—I won’t be coming back and definitely don’t recommend it to others.3 people with a total spend of 150 pounds.

Ordered bbq pork. Very small portion, very fatty, not that tasty. Won't go there again

Poor experience. The food here is: expensive, unauthentic and unpleasant. I used to live in China so feel confident to say that this is not good chinese food I had a vegetarian main which was £18, and my partner had the driest crispy chicken which was served (bizarrely) with prawn crackers and a lemon. We each had a main, some steamed rice, tea and a beer, and it came to a shocking £70. Food was not worth it and we left feeling scammed. Service is also quite curt and rude. Avoid!!

Good spot for dim sum in London

WARNING WARNING - PLEASE READ !!!!! I would strongly reccomend all customers to check your bill carefully at the end of your meal at this restaurant. Always ask for the ITEMISED BILL as opposed to the other receipt (IN CHINESE, OWN LANGUAGE) they like to give showing the total only. They tried to double charge us for the two must expensive dishes on our order twice! When I pointed this out to the staff it reduced out bill by £40.00. This place caters for alot of tourists and you never know what they are charging for if you dont ask for a itemised bill in ENGLISH they can really charge anything if you dont ask for an English bill. NOTE: This restaurant also charge 50p per takeaway box. Even after you spend £149.00 there. Dont make sence. Going back to my favourite restaurant now Bang Bang Colindale. Its ashame our whole experience with goldmine was ruined because of this experience. They lost a customer that spent an average of 390 within two visits. Feel free to message me or contact me back about this Goldmine. ABSOLUTLY DISAPOINTING AND DISGRACEFUL. VERY NOISY RESTAURANT. Update 27 Jan 25; Still no reply from owners to my review with an explination lol. Also note now many reactions my review has had. !!! This speaks for itself. Dont get me wrong as i am not in the business of damaging business rep, the food was nice ( hence food rating) its just that bill that we got where they tried to rip me and my family off that upset me 😡. They are also overpriced. GO TO BANG BANG COLINDALE 😋!!!!!

7:25pm no crispy belly pork. I'll go to Four season next time

Went for a dinner with friends, the dim sum, rice rolls, and siu mei were all so delicious! Come to eat next time!

Disappointed 😞 with the takeaway as a month ago I attended the restaurant in person and had the fried wings, fried ribs and chicken fried rice the food was amazing but unfortunately tonight I ordered the exact same things and the food was greasy , oily and no flavour plus the rice was cold in the middle and dry and the wings and ribs was fried in dirty oil as the bones were black! Sorry Goldmine for what you charge I expected the same service for my takeaway as if I was in your restaurant. I will not be getting a takeaway away from yourselves. Sadly I had to dispose of most of the meal as it was too oily and greasy to eat and the rice once heated up had no flavour. £36.00 wasted.....😔

Typical Cantonese style dishes. Roast duck is good. Other dishes alittle oily and salty to suit the local taste. Busy restaurant with little space to walk around.

Great dim sum - not often mentioned over an above their world class roast duck. Lovely staff too!

We came here as a recommendation from a friend. We ordered the Cantonese duck 4/5: good flavors but we needed more crispy skin. Beef sizzling 5/5: tender beef in great sauce. Mushroom and bok choy 4/5: great flavors but small portion. Duck tongues 2/5: flavorful but full of bones, not cleaned well . Seafood shumai 4/5: good but small portion. House wine 5/5: 👍 Overall, good food but a bit overpriced for the portions.

Gran lugar... comida muy fresca y sabrosa. Definitivamente iré de nuevo. Greeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet solo porque trip advisor pidió más personajes

Gréât « authentic » Cantonese restaurant on Queensway. Really good dim sum and barbecue roast duck and pork.

Fast service even though plenty of customers

Superb char siu and all dim sum are of high quality. I like this place much more than its China town outpost which is more noisy.

Go to resto for roasted duck, one of the best this side of Kensington, dimsum delights also served...long queu but well worth the wait, service is quick and efficient for all orders, easier on the pocket than Mandarin Kitchen down the road.

Great Chinese option in the area. Best for roasted food.

The food is delicious, the portion is large and the price is reasonable. Although the waiters are busy, their attitude is also very good. The carrot cake, custard buns and barbecued pork buns are all delicious. The roast duck is also great.

This is the best dim sum place in London. The variety is there. The duck rice is excellent. Prices might look higher but the quality is breath-taking. I have been living in London for more than 10 years. I love the dim sum here. This is possibly one of the Cheong fun with the thinnest skin in the uk... I don't know if HK has a better version but this is the best I have eaten.

No frills Cantonese restaurant. Fair price for London Chinatown and taste is good. Like their slogan outside saying "probably the best roasted duck". Would go back again!

Really great food and reasonably priced. The roast pork was particularly good and the prawn cheung feung is always a favourite in my opinion. Only negatives were that the restaurant was quite hectic and we were sat right by the front door despite having a booking, meaning it was freezing with people coming in and out the whole time.

This chinese food here was good, but I am still debating whether it is worth the price as I have tasted better chinese that cost a lot less, however the service and the atmosphere is a 9/10. My bill came to £42.80 for noodles, sweet &sour chicken and prawn rolls. The portions were huge. There was a big group of us and our waiter served us well, he was courteous, patient and helpful. This restaurant is pretty big, We were sat in the upstairs area which was sectioned off from the main restaurant, it was intimate; there was another family sat in the corner of the room but they soon left, so it felt like we had a private section. This sectioned off part of the restaurant is perfect for a birthday group of 10, graduation, anniversary, birthday or private dinner.

Excellent food and service .Among the better chinese restaurants along Bayswater.

Excellent service and good food.

Great staffs with awesome attitude.

A very pleasant group of staffs that always give a hundred and one percent to all the customers! Took alot of initiative to entertain and look after the customers throughout the session they are there.

Super efficient staff very accommodating,, despite the full load and so e annoying customer who order and ask for 2 glasses, they accommodated with a solid big smile. Will definitely come back again.

Jay was very attentive and provided immaculate service . The food was really good and overall we had a great experience.

Expensive and just bad. We spent there 87£ for 3 meals with drinks and we ate maybe 1/3. We order pork and it was the cheapest kind of meat with a lot of amount of fat. Every piece had big junk of fat. Even noodles were greasy. I understand every cuisine has different style but I know Chinese food and it was cheap and bad quality. Waitress was expecting that we would give tip and she was in shock when I click 0%.

I recently visited this restaurant, and while some aspects were good, my overall experience was disappointing. The portion sizes were moderate, and our waiter was excellent—very patient and professional throughout. Their service was a highlight of the visit. However, the manager’s behavior was unacceptable. When I chose not to pay the service fee (which is clearly stated as discretionary on the menu), the manager rudely suggested that I should opt for takeaway if I didn’t want to pay it. UK law regulates that service charges are optional, so pressuring customers to pay or questioning their decision not to undermines this principle. If the fee is truly discretionary, there should be no need for such insistence or rude remarks. I hope the management takes this feedback seriously and trains their staff to respect customers’ lawful choices without unnecessary confrontation. If not, it will be totally a SCAM

We ordered the.popular dishes - roast duck 4.5* out of 5 - Shanghainese dumpling 3* - duck porridge 4* Service was fast, efficient and polite. Went back for more on Saturday evening. Very packed. Had to wait more than half an hour in the queue just to get in. We ordered - Peking duck 5* - fried prawns 4* - roast pork 4*

Delicious Cantonese meal. The Peking duck was outstanding and the salt and pepper squid was light and crispy. They didn’t kick us out either so we were able to enjoy our meal and catch up with friends.

The worst experience I had, both the service and food quality was extremely poor. I order one of their recommended chicken dish expecting it to be well cooked. It came raw and stinky which was absolutely inedible. When I told this to the waiter, they just simply laughed and left. Despite the poor service they still tried to ask for extra tips on top on the service charge. When I refused to give the tip, the waiter seemed very annoyed. I really hope others won’t get scammed again.

As a family we have been going here for years. The Gold mine in China town is the same. Food used to be good. Service is rude and abrupt. Prices extortionate. Much better quality, service and atmosphere at the Four Seasons.
