Gung Ho Chinese Restaurant in Camden - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Los aperitivos de sopa ganó ton bang bang y pollo eran buenas.El problema surgió cuando los principales campos como uno, un plato de pescado a la parrilla, a la izquierda la degustación de pescado y un poco duras, quizás demasiado cocido. El otro plato era carne frita con cebolla de primavera que estaba bien, pero necesitaba un poco de salsa de soja para darle algunos oomph.El servicio era amable.

Hace unos años ya que había comido en Gung Ho.Me complace reportar, tuvimos una comida deliciosa y servicio (con una sonrisa). La presentación era fabuloso y la comida estaba deliciosa.Sin duda no dejar pasar tanto tiempo antes de nuestra próxima visita!

So nice that this long-established favourite Chinese has kept up its standards -delicious tasty food and excellent, friendly service. Will be returning soon!

Went for a Mother’s Day meal. All the food was very nice, particularly the shredded duck dish. Staff friendly and attentive, with a great sense of humour. Price very reasonable.

First time we tried this place and ordered a delivery. Waited one hour despite being told we’d receive the delivery in 40 mins. Pathetic service, ordered vegetarian food and was delivered one meat dish and egg in the rice despite ordering VEGETARIAN rice. Pics attached. No apology from the lady for the incorrect order and refused to bring us the corrected items because they were “too busy”.Do not recommend at all. Especially for vegetarians.

Delivery prompt Food tasty noodles nice and thin Best prawn crackers and chilli oil Lively curry mild and light Crispy beef shreds lack chewy and mire like crunchy. But lovely staff would love to dine in

Hemos estado aquí antes y probamos de nuevo ayer. La comida era tan buena como siempre y el servicio excelente. El restaurante se ha hecho más pequeño, en que creo que algunos de los que ha sido arrendada o vendida. Esto hace que sea bastante ajustado cuando esté lleno, ya que era la última noche.Las mesas están bastante cerca el uno del otro y como tal si tienes una fiesta ruidosa a su lado puede ser un poco impertinente.El menú es interesante, las raciones abundantes, y una amplia variedad de opciones para vegetarianos. Bastante caro.

No he sido durante unos años y pensamos volver. Están haciendo algunos trabajos, así que es un poco más pequeña en el interior fue un viernes por la noche y buen trabajo que hicimos, ya que estaba lleno. El mismo personal que es agradable ver y servicio eficiente. Menú grande y teníamos bolas de gambas, rollitos de primavera vegetales y gambas tostadas de sésamo para comenzar a compartir todos salimos muy caliente y encantadora, especialmente las tostadas de sésamo. No es demasiado pesado. Cangrejo maíz dulce buenas sopas. Platos principales de pollo con ajo y cebolla deliciosa y los fideos singapur fideos Shanghai precioso un poco pesadas Sauvignon Blanc vino agradable y precios razonables. Comida deliciosa.

Disfrutamos de una cena tardía que consta de sopa y sopa de fideos ganado ton un plato de pollo con sal y pimienta tofu - todo bien. Este fue seguido por wok Dover sole a la parrilla, servido en el hueso y pato crujiente aromático - ambos muy buenos. Un postre pequeño seguido.El servicio era bueno, aunque podía haber sido más atento por completar el nivel agua, etc.Las instalaciones tienen un agradable sensación de calma.

Busy stylish family run chinese. Friendly and welcoming staff. Efficient service. Great menu. Excellent food very fresh beautiful vegetable dishes. Definitely our favourite chinese restaurant.

Otra noche fantástica en Gung Ho, a pesar del hecho de que ellos están haciendo reformas en el momento y tienen espacio limitado disponible. Reserve pronto para evitar decepciones, supongo. El cordero crujientes en la lechuga y la sal y la pimienta calamares eran divinos, como siempre, y la carne desmenuzada era tan ligero crujientes fresco y dulce, que se derretía en la boca. No puedo esperar hasta mi próxima visita.

Mi marido y yo fuimos allí la última noche para citas y tuvimos una gran noche. El restaurante es limpio y ordenado, y tiene un ambiente estupendo. Teníamos pollo ahumada, dulce y agria pollo, pato aromáticos, huevo frito arroz y verduras fideos y fue genial. Fantástico servicio, buena comida y una gran noche. Había familias y grupos de amigos, parejas y sería perfecto para una comida de celebración, de hecho fui allí hace 12 años para una cena de cumpleaños donde había aproximadamente 30 de nosotros y fue perfecto y nada ha cambiado desde entonces. Este mejor de este lugar es que se sienta bien después de comer su comida no como otros restaurantes chinos donde usted siente sed o enfermos es porque su comida no tiene grasa o muy poco gms. Absolutamente fabuloso lugar no dudes ir!

Hemos estado frecuentando este restaurante durante muchos años. . . lucha encontrado un restaurante mejor chino en términos de comida y servicio.

Hemos estado viniendo aquí durante años, porque este es uno de nuestros restaurantes favoritos en el área. Esta vez era un grupo de cinco para celebrar un 20 cumpleaños y graduación th. El personal es siempre encantador, amable y atento. La comida es excepcional y sólo pudimos disfrutarla en el primer plato porque estamos tan malacostumbrados (siempre tenemos la purga de pollo ahumado y pollo bang bang porque no podemos resistir a ellos). Medio pato y tortitas siempre sigue (para 5 personas). Los platos principales varían en función de cómo estamos, pero nunca completo han decepcionado (carne de cordero de Mongolia y purga normalmente característica). Es un restaurante ideal para familias, fiestas y con pequeñas mesas escondido para los románticos.

Éramos 6 de nosotros en una noche de sábado y, aunque el servicio fue muy atento, los campos fueron una decepción. Teníamos un montón de entradas que eran muy agradables, incluyendo sopas, langostinos y tofu. Todos eran muy agradables. Pato fue sencillamente el mejor. Para nuestro plato principal, tuvimos el kway Tweo curry y carne rendang nada como que sabían que deberían probar (siendo de Malasia, yo lo sé) a pedir la comida china aquí, no el de Malasia y estarás bien! !

Had a lovely dinner here tonight. The staff were so friendly, and the food was very good. Will definitely be eating here again!

We came here last minute for a family member's birthday and we were really impressed with how lovely the staff were, they were thoughtful, kind, funny and offered to take photos, help with the cake etc we left an extra tip!Food was also nice and we'd definitely come again!

A good restaurant, large menu which includes some great veggie options. A bit on the pricey side £25 per person without drinks for two courses but the quality of the food is very good.

We love eating at Gong Ho. From the first warm greeting as we walk into the door, from Susan, the experience is great. All of the food is great, but I especially like the Peking Duck and Grilled Dumplings in Garlic Sauce. The service throughout the meal is attentive and just right. The price for the meal is also reasonable for the quality.

Thrilled by the seasonings, easy flow and wonderful food at Gung Ho. Soft Shell Crab was awesome. Fried Seaweed - I want to have that every day 3 times it is so sweet and crunchie. Hot and Sour soup was both and the Crispy Duck was delicious. Beautiful service, great food, Happy New Year.Do try to book a table. They are so busy they don't often answer the phone so try before meal time starts. Wonderful way to start the year of the Rooster - Thank you!

Used to go often. It seemed to go off. Friends suggested it so another trip. Well worthwhile. Attentive staff and excellent food.

We visited this very popular local restaurant recently. It was somewhere we have frequented many years ago. We went for lunch and it was not busy so it was a good time to taste what used to be very good food. We had seven or eight dishes which included seaweed, smokey chicken, spare ribs, duck and pancakes etc. The food has unfortunately remained where it was that many years ago before we learned that food dye and msg added to food do not enhance healthy eating. The egg fried rice felt as if it has been re-heated. The smokey chicken was coloured red, the seaweed was soggy. In the light of so many new establishments that serve fresh and healthy food would not return here again. It may be more reasonable than some other nearby chinese restaurants but you get what you pay for.

Lunch on Sunday at Gung Ho was a splendid decision . The choice of assorted starters is immense- we chose two different ribs, sea weed, and pancakes. Just the right amount to set the taste buds going. Mains included crispy chilli beef shreds, sea bass, and sizzling lamb all served with light fluffy rice. Warm saki added just the right degree of authenticity. After that feast, there was no room for dessert but the coffee and lemon tea was respectively good.

We ordered wine and hot sake to go with the spare ribs, seaweed, duck pancakes, prawns and scollops, and Mongolian lamb. All food was excellently cooked and service was spot on. The menu was very comprehensive. We need to return to try more dishes.

We have been regulars here for many years as locals but the last two visits I have been extremely disappointed with the food which has become ordinary and tasteless. Everything seems to taste the same and has little to no seasoning. At these prices at nearly £100 for 3 for 4 starters and 3 mains this simply isn't good enough and I will think twice before going again. It's popular with local residents but with new eateries popping up all the time in West Hampstead they will have to get their act together to retain their loyalty

This restaurant is local to us, and we decided to call for delivery when they opened on a Sunday night. The food arrived very quickly (within 15 minutes). My singapore noodles were generic but edible. My friend's Malaysian rendang lamb was just passable. My wife's four treasures tofu was bland and insipid. However the biggest issue was with the vegetable spring rolls. All of us agreed that they tasted off, and I ended up with stomach pain and had to take Monday off work after staying up all night.

Extremely good service but dishes not authentic. It's a modified form of classic Chinese / Szechuan cuisine. Certain dishes should be dry but they make it saucy to suit certain types of customers. Effort is there but don't expect to get the real Chinese kind of cooking.

Lovely atmosphere and high-level service!Inexpensive and delicious food! Best prawn dim sums I ever had.

We went to Gung Ho for a family occasion and it was FANTASTIC. The service was very attentive and extremely friendly, but the food was to die for. We had a table for eight with a considerable selection of dishes rotating around the table.

I was introduced to this restaurant over 10 years ago. Even though we now have to travel 10 miles or so, we still go at least once a month. We've tried all our friend's recommendations in China Town and still none come close. Best advice: go for a load of starters, the duck or lamb then a main and a couple of veg dishes. Coupled with a bottle of white ... OMG.

We wanted to go to a good Chinesse restaurant in the area, and I had heard good reports about Gung Ho, from the moment we arrived until the time we left, I can honestly say that this is one of the best Chinesse I've ever been to.The service was friendly and efficient , the menu explained every dish, and the choice was extensive . I have never seen so many fishes dishes on a Chinesse menu before.The food was not greasy, and the taste of each dish was superb.Keep up the good work , we can't wait to go back.

I recently dined at Gung Ho with my family and friends. As usual the food was excellent, we were a group of nine and everyone commented on how good the food was, it was exceptionally tasty. My family and I have been coming here regularly for the last 2.5 years and really enjoy the food accompanied with the excellent service. Highly recommended.

have had takeaway a good few years ago first time in restaurant. service very good, friendly, an excellent menu of fresh Chinese classics and gung ho specialities - save room for the flambé desserts they're a must! best Chinese in NWL!

I ordered a chicken and sweetcorn soup, lemon chicken and egg fried rice take away. Ordering was a sinch, very quick as was the delivery and the delivery man was polite. The food was delicious; the chicken and sweetcorn soup was hot and fresh, the egg fried rice plentiful and the lemon chicken just as I hope it would be. All in all a very good take away experience, one I will be sure to repeat. Thank you

We have eaten here many times and always been happy with the food. Lately we tend to order take away and enjoy it home. We love the crispy duck pancakes. The egg fried noodles, the sweet and sour pork. The wonton soup, the crispy fried seaweed. We recommend this place.

We are long term clients here. Menu has been revised under new team.All old favourites still available.We had soups excellent as always and super seaweed. Then Szechuan Chicken - Prawns and Mushrooms and Sizzling Beef - accompaniments - Rice - Noodles and Pakchoi - Toffee Bananas to finish

Service was poor, should have known better when no order taken after 30 mins, and we arrived late as people were leaving around 10 pm after a late night working. Seemed as if the food we ordered was forgotten as after another 30 mins, just to get starters they apologised and brought some seaweed which was stone cold. Very average food, can only imagine it is still there as there are no other chinese sit down restaurants in West Hampstead, only Good Earth Express, which has to be a lot better than this tired place with poor food and service, the only thing they brought quickly was the bill, which was mercifully only £60 for 2 of us including wine. But we did not eat much as it was so bad.It is not as good as it was a decade ago, avoid it until they get their act together.

The food was good and the service is very friendly. The menu is above a typical Chinese restaurant and interesting things such as Dover sole were available. The staff make an effort to say hello when you enter and its smartly laid out. The orders come in a random manner rather than all together.

Visited here with friends. Service was a little slow but it was a busy night. The starters were staggered which was slightly odd and the main dishes were not piping hot. My Mongolian lamb arrived just as everyone else finished their main course. Starters and mains, if ordered individually by diners really should come out at the same time. Staff were pleasant and polite and the food, although lukewarm tasted good.

My boyfriend used to come here with his family quite a lot, and he remembered it being very good. After looking for a place to go and have a nice Chinese dinner we decided to go to Gung Ho and we were not disappointed! Service was very friendly, nice and relaxed atmosphere and the food was great. Portions were good size and very tasty. I will particularly recommend the smoked chicken shreds and the sizzling beef slices. The food was reasonably priced as well (we ordered 4 starters, 2 main, noodles, a dessert and jasmine tea and the bill came out to 58.39 including service charge). Will definitely come back again!

The Gung Ho in West Hampstead (NW London) is the best Chinese restaurant north of Chinatown. Terrific food, atmosphere and service. The best dishes are the roast duck, Cheng Du duck (duck pieces in plum sauce) and sea bass in ginger and spring onion. My favourite starter is the salt and pepper squid in light batter.

Tried again for supper on the strength of the last visit, a few months ago. This too was very good. Again, we mentioned a general aversion to too-much sugar and this was noted.We started with Bang Bang chicken and wonton soup - both very good. These were followed by Dover Sole, served off the bone, with ginger and spring onion plus pak choi and steamed rice which was very good, though a small stray bone caused temporary disquiet. Meanwhile, the Mongolian lamb with lettuce cups (very large ones) was good as also was some tofu in black bean sauce that had a rich, deep flavour. We did not need them but closed with some toffee apple with sesame seed.It was surprisingly unbusy but maybe we were a little late and it was a quiet night generally.Overall, Very Good

You sense the personal touch from the moment you walk in. It is clear these are hosts that take pride in the food they serve. High quality ingredients , great ambience and authentic tasting food with a varied menu. The food tastes fresh and is visually appealing.

Been going to this place for 15 years and again tonight. The place and staff are great but the food is amazing! Crispy duck pancakes are awesome, the chill beef crunchy and the seabass dedicate!!!

Was recently brought to Gung Ho during my first visit to London, with some local friends who are regulars here. We ordered and just shared a variety of dishes and I have to say I was incredibly impressed. Sharing the dishes made for a highly social evening that I thoroughly enjoyed. The staff were easily the friendliest Chinese I've ever met - particularly the young lady who I now believe must have been the owner Sue (I didn't get her name at first). I highly recommend the Toffee Apple pudding - probably the best dessert I've ever had. If I lived in London, I'd certainly be a regular!

We were staying in Cricklewood but couldn't find anywhere we wanted to eat. Spotted Gung Ho on trip advisor, and walked a mile and a half to get to it. Boy was it worth it!The food and service were excellent, it's nice to find a decent chinese restaurant.I would definitely recommend this restaurant and we will certainly eat here again next time we are in London.

We have been to Gung Ho quite a few times now and are never disappointed. The staff, including Sue the owner are really very amusing (unusual for a Chinese restaurant) and very attentive and the food is excellent. Arguably the best Chinese food in town.

We were impressed by our first visit to this friendly neighbourhood restaurant. We arrived at 10pm on a Saturday night after a concert. Service was very efficient and friendly. Food arrived quickly and was really fresh and tasted great. Meal for two with £48 per couple (excl alcohol) Recommended.

I have eaten at the Gung Ho off and on for perhaps twenty years. During that time it has varied from the very good to the very indifferent. It's nice to report that just at the moment it is on an upswing. We enjoyed excellent charming service and very good food. Happy to currently recommend it strongly - now let's hope they can maintain it.

Have ordered from a few times and have enjoyed the food. Ordered tonight and parts were cold others warm. Sat down to eat, as my husband and I were hungry thinking we could still enjoy. This was not the case. Called them up after first bite of a dim sum. Was told they would send a driver to pick it up. This ended up in a disagreement with the manager as I said I have sat down with my husband to eat. I will now have to wait another 45 min, when I am starving. Was very rude. I asked for my money back. Was told no and that the food must be returned. A Friday night when they are not busy (she said on the phone) and less than a minute away. Not impressed. It ended up with my husband ending the call and me writing on here. Not happy. Will never order from here again and am strongly advising every one else not to. You pay money for a service and in return you get the manager arguing.

We love this superb local neighborhood restaurant that is easily accessible from Central London. Having grown up in the neighborhood this has always been Hampstead's standout eatery. It's quality Chinese food and amazing service, the owner David is big on racing so I even named one of my racehorses after this great place - unfortunately he was slower than the service! For newcomers try the smoked chicken, duck pancakes or crispy beef and tell them the

We come here often because the food is very good and the service attentive. On our last visit I had the grilled dumplings followed by the crispy shredded beef both excellent. On previous visits i have had the duck and pancakes and this is top notch

My family and I dined here recently. The food and service was excellent. There was also a great atmosphere. Probably the best Chinese we have had for quite some time.

This is our local Chinese restaurant and for nearly 30 years it has been consistently good. The staff get to know you very quickly by name and we are treated like royalty.Absolutely first class food and service. it is a mixture of Pekinese and Szechwanese food. We love it here and so do all our friends and family.

This is without doubt the best chinese restaurant around. The food is outstanding and there is always a lovely atmosphere. The staff are so welcoming and friendly and always make a fuss of my 3 year old daughter. A must!!

Had not been for a few years but came tonight for a late supper, and glad we did.We advised that we much preferred to minimize sugar and oil used in preparation, and they listened well and responded accurately.We tried won ton soup and a sweetcorn and chicken soup - both hot and very good.Then we had the dover sole, steamed, off-the-bone and served with steamed asparagus and steamed rice. All delicious.A half a crispy aromatic duck was good in that it was not over-cooked as can sometimes happen. But maybe there was not enough crispy skin and crisp-charred bones for it truly to be ranked as very good.Nevertheless. overall the rating is Very Good, and we plan to return more often.

Although not the easiest of restaurants to find, situated off West End Lane and Finchley Road, North West London. Plus the parking is a challenge too - teh restuarnat is ellegant, the food fresh and then staff smart and efficient.George Michael and Emma Thompson have been dinning here at the same time too. Ive been going here for year for special occassions and never had a bad meal. The Steamed Sea Bass is amazing as is the chrispy duck. Their take our service is very good too!

This restaurant serves very good food in a nice deco and atmosphere. I've been there for years and the food and service has always been consistent. It is pricey though but worth for special occasions or a romantic dinner.

Wonderful, rich food, freshly prepared with thoughtful and polite staff. I have brought 3 dates here and it always works a treat. Great ambience and fine food. Cannot recommend enough.

Friendly staff .food good, but way over priced for what you are served.so if you have money to burn .go ahead and enjoy.!!!!!

Not bad. Food and service overall good. Dishes not too greasy and had fairly authentic flavors. Interior decorated reasonably nicely. Had the doors open when I visited to let in some fresh air, although this gives you an excellent view of the abandoned building opposite. Not that this put us off our food, which arrived promptly. Dishes were fairly standard fare and seasoned and prepared to a reasonable level of what one would expect from a more upmarket Chinese restaurant charging this kind of price.

This longstanding local restaurant doesn't really need any help from trip advisor as it has such a loyal following. The staff are great with kids and are happy for you to arrive with them as the doors open. It's not the cheapest of restaurants but has a wide range of dishes for a Chinese restaurant including some unusual ones. The Mongolian lamb wrapped in lettuce leaves and the veal dishes are delicious!

We have dined at Gung Ho several times but my first review of the restaurant. The food, service, ambiance and price are very good. The staff always helpful, the portions generous.

We went again last night and have been coming here for years but first time I checked trip advisor reviews some of which are bizarre as its always full and the food and service are excellent . Some of the reviews may be of dubious provenance maybe ? Particularly love the soft shell crab and crispy duck !

My family and I went to Gung-Ho for a birthday celebration and we found the food to be very good. The service started very well but when the restaurant became busy from what I believe were take away phone orders unfortunately the service was non existent.Overall a fairly good Chinese restaurant.

This is the second time I visited this restaurant and the second time I've been served food that is not enable.We ended up having a dispute with the owner who agreed the food was substandard however still intended to charge us 50% of the bill because we had tried done of the dishes.This was completely unreasonable, not only is the food poor but the service and dining experience even worse.Avoid this restaurant if you can!

I have been here quite a few times over a couple of years and always enjoyed the food. Yesterday I went with a party of four at lunchtime. The service is friendly, the food good and we ate three savoury courses. We were all full at the end, but finished everything, and tried out some dishes we have not had before (but will have again). We did not drink alcohol and the bill was reasonable. This is not the cheapest Chinese restaurant, but very much a local restaurant in mid range and with proper tablecloths, service and freshly cooked food.I have been particularly pleased that on a previous occasion when neither of us wanted a big meal, they were just as happy to serve only a couple of dishes.

Not a very pleasant experience for my friends and I at this restaurant. We encoutered sub standard service, were kept waiting for over half an hour before a waiter even ventured to take our order, and that was because we physically had to get up and make all kinds of gestures or shout across the restaurant for attention. The starters did not arrive at the same time with the humble spring roll arriving cold, dry and tasteless around 20 minutes after everything else had been eaten. The very same thing happened to the main course and one of our diners was served her meal after all others had already finished theirs. Unfortunately, that main course was just about inedible. As a gesture of good will the manager took out all the first courses from the bill, but to be honest, the entire experience was just totally ruined. I dined at this restaurant a few years ago but it was much better then. Will not be coming back.

Reading the reviews I was worried my one of my favorite restaurants had gone down hill. Not the case! Everything was great. Bang bang chicken was awesome. The crispy fried seaweed was amazing and so was everything else. Service was exceptional. Go to this restaurant.

This was a business meal with a group of colleagues, 4 people in total. The restaurant is certainly more up market than most, with a extensive menu featuring a wide range of dishes. We simply chose a selection of food and all sampled what was on the table - and it was all good. The highlight for me was the soft shell crab. I love crab, but had never had it like this before, really great. Service was good and no long waits for anything. Yes, it is more expensive. The meal was about £45 per head, but this is not the average Chinese and I can recommend this restaurant if your looking for a more special night out.

If you do not associate Chinese food with cheap (Good Earth nearby does that well) then this place is great. Nice atmosphere, excellent food and friendly traditional service. Nice for both a casual weekend dinner or for a special occasion. A nice mix of Chinese and other Asian dishes. We tried coconut seafood soup, crispy duck, Korean beef and scallops. All were very nice and justified the somewhat higher price than you would pay at your "local". Highly recommended.

We went to this restaurant because we thought it had a good reputation. Instead we found the place was very, very expensive, that the service was amateur - slow, insufficient staff, badly trained, if at all. You might think that a restaurant which automatically adds a 12.5% service charge has a reputation to maintain. We found this place less than average. The food was not that good. Not that well prepared. The portions were not generous.Give it a miss. We were very disappointed.

I went because Gung Ho advertises some Szechuan food and having been here a few times before, I thought I would focus on Szechuan cuisine. How disappointing. There was virtually no real Szechuan food, the service was slow and not friendly, and the food wasn't great either. I shall not go again.

Don't know what happened to Gung Ho. I had been hyping it for many years to various people as one of the best Chinese restaurants in the area, however, on their visits (and my most recent two) the food seems to have gone downhill in taste and standard. At least the service seems to have improved.

I have been frequenting this Chinese restaurant for some twenty years, and indeed prior, when it was a very good Italian restaurant the name of which escapes me. Well I phoned for a table on Saturday afternoon for two people at 8.30. No problem! A sign of the times. Not in recession proof Hampstead surely. The restaurant was not full and that was a first for a Saturday night here. Indeed through the evening as diners left the tables were not 'turned over'. The food. Bang Bang chicken was good. Salt and pepper ribs were okay ( not in the same league as the Water Margin) and the vegetable tempura was presented in an almost ebony colour (overcooked and in old oil) batter reminiscent of the kind of kevlar like shell used to encase a saveloy in a Briddlington chippy. I always thought tempura batter should be light and sort of attaches itself to the food in places and didn't in others, even with a few lumps here and there. The vegetables inside were 'al dente' or whatever the Chinese equivalent is and warmish. technique. The main courses were supposed to be sizzling sliced veal with leeks. Sizzling it never had been and therefore it had also not been cooked. Rose veal is by nature, pink, this still was pink - raw. The sliced beef with spring onions were congealed and cold. The Singapore noodles had little in them, one or two shrimps and a couple of sinews of chicken and a chalky texture. When told, the waiter offered to replace the offending dishes, which we politely declined. He brought them anyway! We refused. The veal still wasn't sizzling. The service was, due to minimal waiting staff, at best, extremely slow. A diner on an adjacent table got up to go and find a waiter to enquire as to the whereabouts of his food which he had ordered some twenty minutes earlier. I certainly did not propose to leave a gratuity but it was already added to the bill and I didn't have the heart to deprive the despondent looking under pressure waiters. They tried their best. Lord knows what the service would have been like if the restaurant had been full. So, with no booze, just a pot of tea, the ribs, bang bang chicken, tempura and noodles cost £35.00. Good Value?? You decide.

Devo dire che in zona West end lane, non ci sono buoni ristoranti. Ero un po incuriosita da Gung Ho perche' e' sempre piuttosto pieno. Non e' male, ma potrebbe essere decisamente meglio. Il personale e' cortese sebbene corrano continumente da un tavolo all'altro.. Il cibo e' ok ma non c'e' niente di cio' che ho ordinato che mi ha lasciata particolarmente impressionata. Buoni gli spring rolls sebbene un po troppo oleosi; buoni i dumplimngs di maiale; ok gli shangai noodles. Totale per due antipasti, due primi ed una bottiglia di vino: £57 per due persone.

I've been going to this restaurant for around 15 years and (meant in a positive way), things just stay the same.The service has always been a little rushed, but as long as you take control and slow the guys down, they accommodate you nicely.Looking at reviews from others elsewhere it does seem to be a love it/hate it situation and I don't understand why. I fall into the 'love it' camp - quality of ingredients is great, and overall the experience is very good. I guess that I have grown use to the somewhat westernised dishes - and to my mind there's nothing wrong with that - I love this food and will keep going back to this restaurant wherever I am in London.I just wish they'd deliver to Reading..........

Great Chinese food here. Much better than the standard Chinese places and probably on par with Good Earth. Only had the takeaway service though.

We visited to order a take-away meal and were immediately struck by how polite and friendly the staff were. We ordered a number of standards so we could compare the quality with what we normally ask for in Soho Chinatown. The deep-fried squid starter was excellent as were the scallops and prawns in picquant sauce, the sea spice aubergine and the double sauteed string beans. Our only disappointment was the Ma-Po Tofu, where the sauce was rather bland and while there was plenty of tofu there was not much minced pork. Nevertheless, the overall dining experience was an enjoyable one.

The very best Chinese you'll ever have. This is true Chinese a la carte. The food is excellent. Service quite formal. Prices are a little steep, but you're clearly paying for someone talented in the kitchen. Treat yourself.
