House of Ming in City of London, Westminster

For central London, a stones throw from Buckingham Palace, this was an unexpected delight. Food was great, interesting and very well balanced. The best bit were the staff however, knowledgeable, friendly and left us feeling very special.

Beautiful restaurant, amazing food and extremely attentive staff. We were served by Dexter and Rie who were wonderful. We look forward to visiting again. Thank you for making our evening.

Fantastic service, great food. Relaxed atmosphere. Perfect place to bring guests or have a romantic meal. Dexter our waiter could not do enough to please us.

Nice staff & ambience but disappointing food. I was so excited to visit this restaurant after reading all the 5 star reviews, but I should have read the 3 star reviews as sadly they were more accurate. The food was so bland. Dumplings were average, similar to any chain like ping pong or dimt but at this price point should be exceptional. The chicken Hakka stir fried noodles & Singaporean noodles had very little veg and chicken (the waitress suggested we order 2 noodle dishes for 3 adults and a toddler - mistake!) . The chicken dish & prawn dish were small in size. Portions need to be more generous. The food was salty and lacking in taste. Desserts were pretty to look at but lacking in taste (we tried Elements, mango sago & date pancake). Your chef needs training house of ming! What a disappointment and we were entertaining a colleague who had come from China. We tried Noble Palace & Ma La Szechaun - both far far better.

Amazing food. The lamb small plate was incredible but all food was perfect. Dexter and all the team were so kind and helpful and attentive without being overbearing. Great value all round. Would 100% recommend!

Decent place but the food is just alright - nothing special. Service was great and atmosphere was nice and quiet.

Had lunch today at this place. Totally loved and enjoyed the experience. The food was delicious and the service was exemplary. Special kudos to Dexter and his service great suggestions and every dish suggested was superb. His service is one of reasons we will definitely come back for more. Also Xenyig was great and very sweet. Thanks guys. 🙏🙏

I had made a reservation to celebrate a friend’s birthday because I had heard great reviews about this restaurant. Upon arriving at the restaurant the staff were very friendly and polite and the restaurant looked very beautiful. The food and drinks menu had great selection. When the food arrived it wasn’t presented that well plus the food tasted and looked average, I had ordered a portion of crispy chilli potato and when I saw i was out of words, it was just chips covered with hot and sweet sauce which was for £16. Highly disappointed with the quality of the food.

Wonderful meal experiencing some delicious Chinese cuisine. Shah was an amazing waiter and made our evening very special

The food was awful. After being a loyal customer of the Taj,we were appalled by the food. The quality of ingredients along with the taste was awful.

Amazing service all night especially from Shah who was our waiter. The food was delicious, a must visit in London for fine Chinese food

The food is excellent. Everything we ordered was absolutely on point including both vegetarian and non vegetarian dishes. The service was very fast and efficient. Our server Prithvi made sure to check on the table at regular intervals and have good suggestions in regards to the food. The ambience is very chill and suitable for all kinds of visits. Really recommend you try this place out and make sure you get the dimsums

We were staying at Taj St James Court and visited their Chinese restaurant called House of Ming. The food was excellent with multiple vegan and vegetarian options which suited our palate. The service was excellent and a shout to Palpasha and Avighna who went out of their way to make our dinner memorable. Must visit when in London

The food was fantastic and the service was brilliant. Dexter was very helpful throughout the experience and recommended the perfect cocktail for the evening. I am definitely recommending family and friends to come here. I will definitely be back.

Food and service were fantastic. Our host Palpasha was helpful and very knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend this restaurant.

Great vegetarian and very attentive service. Beautiful decor as well

A wonderful experience for the family on a special occasion

OMG!!! Wow! Must try this best food and the service top notch by far!! We tried so many dishes, each one fabulous delicious!! Spring rolls, Crispy lamb, Sweet-and-sour pork, Fried prawns, Egg fried rice and garlic jasmine rice,, kung pow chicken!!! Lots of dipping sauces, which we enjoyed experimenting the flavors.. restaurant was decor representative of the mood… I was thoroughly pampered as was my husband too. I was skeptic until I came here, trying some dishes. Even my cocktail delicious Paloma martini.. Just had one next-door the hotel, but nothing compares to this wonderful flavor with a floating pansy flower on top as a Delicate touch. If I did not live in the states, I would be here on a regular basis..

Amazing food and great service. Lot of veggie options.

I would highly recommend the Executive Lunch. It includes delicious dishes such as prawn dumplings, chilli oyster fish and vegetable noodles. Everything about this restaurant is elegant - the crockery, the decor, the attention to detail and presentation of the dishes. Perfect service from our waiters, Dexter and Palpasha, who were so helpful and welcoming. This truly is a hidden gem in Victoria!

We were really looking forward to our dinner. We had planned to go for the imperial menu. Unfortunately, we couldn't We didn't order this because you get this menu a week in advance To order. It was said on the website. I couldn't do it Find. We were in a kind of lobby of the restaurant Posted. Very unpleasant. Many things also went wrong with the operation. For example, we received the main course on the dirty plate of the dessert. Fortunately the food was fine. Overall a disappointing experience.

Service is underwhelming, initial drinks came stale, replacements were given after request, second round of drinks was forgotten and than whole th EU promised them to be complimentary - they are ere charged anyway. Food was good.

Went for lunch at House of Ming - absolutely amazing hospitality. Samrit asst F&B was very welcoming. All the staff Dexter, Ivonio, Palpasha and Jibin made sure that we had a great time. The food was great and the hospitality even better…. Loved the experience being here…. A big thank you to Urmi. Will be back soon.

I really enjoyed dining at this restaurant with my friend , the food , service from staff and ambience was perfect to have a relaxing lunch . The menu had a lot of option

We arrived late and were accomodated thankfully. The service was excellent. The portions were generous and we enjoyed all the dishes. My 9 year old Godson gave it 5 stars unprompted! A lovely treat on a Sunday afternoon 😊

The food was great and our server was courteous. We didn't arrive until 8 p.m. and the service was great. Recommended!

After a lot of research we decided to visit the House of Ming for a special occasion. We received a warm welcome and good service. We opted for the taster menu. The appetisers and starters were very nice. Fresh hot and full of flavour. However when the mains arrived there were cold, the meat was tough and the flavours were lacking. We were so disappointed as the start of the menu was very promising. We reported this to the staff with the chef offering to cook us another main but by this point we were ready for desert at nearly 2.5 hours into the meal. Whilst there was an offer to replace a main meal we were surprised to receive the full bill when the mains and side were all returned. hope this was just a blip. Would we return, I suspect not.

Wonderful lunch on Saturday. Warm hospitality even though we were close to "last order". Great food. Palpasha was a wonderful waitress and helped us with our choices. Thank you to all.

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal, with tasty dishes like Hot and Sour Soup, Lemon Coriander Soup, and the delicious Peking Duck. The atmosphere was great, and the waitress was incredibly friendly and helpful. I must say that House of Ming is probably the best Chinese restaurant I've ever been to 😃

A Culinary Journey Through Time: House of Ming at Taj 51 Step into House of Ming at Taj 51 Residence & Suites, and you're transported not just to a world of exquisite Chinese cuisine, but also to a bygone era. The impeccable staff, from the moment you're greeted to the moment you depart, exemplifies warm hospitality. Their friendly demeanour and attentiveness enhance the entire dining experience. The restaurant itself is a visual feast. The opulent decor evokes the Anglo-Chino period, with intricate details that seamlessly blend Eastern and Western influences. This immersive atmosphere sets the stage for a truly unique culinary journey. Now, onto the stars of the show - the dishes themselves! Lotus Stem Honey Chilli: This vegetarian starter is a revelation. The lotus stem, perfectly crisp, is tossed in a sweet and spicy honey chilli sauce that tantalizes the taste buds. It's a delightful explosion of textures and flavours, a must-try for anyone seeking a unique appetizer. Wok Fried Sichuan Lobster: For seafood lovers, the Wok Fried Sichuan Lobster is lovely, but the price is very dear. So, a word of warning. The succulent lobster is cooked to perfection, retaining its delicate sweetness. However, the true star is the Sichuan sauce - a symphony of heat and spice that awakens your senses without overpowering the lobster's natural flavour. Citrus Dessert: No meal is complete without a satisfying dessert, and House of Ming doesn't disappoint. The Citrus Dessert is a refreshing and light way to end your culinary adventure. The bright citrus flavours; Yuzu cleanse the palate perfectly, leaving you with a lingering sense of satisfaction. House of Ming is a decent, high-end hotel restaurant; it's an experience.

If you're looking for a truly memorable evening, look no further than House of Ming.

Went there with my husband for his birthday. We had a 10 out of 10 experience. We were greeted with friendly waiters. Loved the decor and ambience. Food was amazing we enjoyed everything we ordered. This place is worth coming back for. Our waiter Dexter was very lovely.

Oh the full course meal was absolutely awesome, and the staff was incredibly attentive, kind, and funny. Happily recommend. Dexter, or dedicated server, was quite charming and helpful.

A special place in central London! A bit like stepping back in time. Dexter our server was very attentive and professional, and the food was delicious. We are looking forward to returning.

From the minute we arrived we were treated like royalty. Ivdnio and Shah gave us the very best care and attention. They were professional but also charming and knowledgeable. We needed a lot of guidance through the menu and Shah was helpful and informative without any hint of being condescending. In the end we opted for the non-vegetarian set menu. Oh my goodness! It was by far the best Chinese meal we have ever had. From the light, fluffy dim sun to the ginger sorbet, every mouthful was a delight of flavour explosions. Why this restaurant isn’t Michelin starred is beyond us! It’s fabulous. We couldn’t have asked for a better night out and would recommend to anyone 100%!

From the movement we walked in the service was exceptional, the food was the best we have eaten whilst in london. Dexter our server was very attentive and provided great meal suggestions. The small table for 2 in a private booth was an extra special touch adding to the ambience the evening. We will most definitely be back when in town again. Thank you team 5* all the way.

We went for our Kids Birthday. Dexter offered excellent service. The food was delicious. It was clean and well decorated. We will go back again

A great meal with excellent service by Ivonio. The food was well prepared with subtle flavours. We had one of the set dinners which we both thoroughly enjo

Beautiful decor, warm and friendly staff and delicious food! Definitely a good place to eat if you’re ever in London! Shoutout to Mavis and Atharva for making us feel so welcome!

Great service from Chris and Dexter, gentle conversations and thoughtfulness of the team. We were lactose intolerent and the team very kindly changed our dessert to accomodate.

It was absolutly delicious! Definitely recommend

Fantastic service from Mavis and Mousa. Best restaurant we have been to in London. Could not fault the food. It was my birthday and was given a slice of matcha cake! Ambiance was great.

Great night out and Prithvi the waiter was great! Love the food and atmosphere. Very nice experience would definitely reccommend it

Excellent food and service, Dexter was very accommodating making it very special. Recommended👍 We will definitely return.

Very nice atmosphere, friendly staff.. and fantastic food. Good portion size. We didn't have a reservation and they worked us in with a time limit, which was absolutely fine, it worked well!

Delicious food. Exquisite menu. Excelent service… ask for Dexter, very polite and nice. Fancy place with great music and ambience.

Dexter gave wonderful service. Very friendly to the kids. Food was amazing and wonderfully presented. Great on the palate

Absolutely fabulous service. The manager and especially our waiter Dexter was so forthcoming. We had so much food within the Explore menu. Lovely food including many vegetarian options which I loved.

Nach einer netten Begrüßung die erste Überraschung: Mantel wird nicht in einer Garderobe sondern bei Tisch „gelagert“. Dass der Wein aus der Flasche nicht zum verkosten gereicht wird, mag eine Eigenheit sein. Die Weinkarte selbst ist gut sortiert! Die Vorspeise ist ok, wobei bei einer...

House of Ming is a must try. Their extensive menu of tastefully prepared Dimsums, soups and wide array of Chinese food was most enjoyable. They have an extensive vegetarian menu as well. Highly recommend this gem of a restaurant within the St. James Ct. Taj...

Dexter was the perfect waiter for the perfect evening! Our tastebuds were delighted by the flavorful and authentic Chinese dishes. Such an experience was made ever better by a unique atmosphere, perfect for any night out!

Everything was perfect we definitely come back , the service is amazing, Thanks Dexter for serving us , he was wonderful!

What a wonderful evening,..seated in one of the unique little booths...Mavis and Atharva were very attentive and Mavis took the time to explain some of the dishes to us. The Pecking Duck was delicious! Amazing food and lovely surprise dessert for my birthday. Thank you...

Excellent service from Dexter and Chris. They made me feel very welcome. Great suggestions from the menu and all was delicious with fantastic service!

Amazing duck. We are always on the look out for fantastic crispy aromatic duck. This did not disappoint. We loved the scallop dim sum and chicken gyoza. The duck was fantastic. We also loved the super friendly service -thanks Dexter for making our evening special.

Dexter was fabulous and looked after us extremely well. Dim sum particularly good and the ambience is very fun—cute tables for two.

When my husband and I travel in the UK we generally prefer to eat at pubs. I am so glad we did something different on this last trip. What an amazing meal. Service was flawless and friendly. Our server kindly explained the different sauces on...

Excellent food and service in the heart of St James. We had the business lunch and it was great value as well. Dexter, our waiter, was 5 ⭐️!

Absolutely brilliant. Food is delicious. Staff are very nice. Dexter made sure we are well taken care of. Ambience is great. Highly recommend.

Perfect Cantonese cuisine, excellent food and excellent service from Shah throughout the evening. A great experience, thank you very much.

Lovely experience and stunning service, special thank you for Mr. Dexter Definitely I will comeback The best Asian restaurant

Beautiful restaurant. Sumptuous meal. Dexter served us with grace and was very helpful. Three cheers to Dexter and House of Ming

Incredible food! Incredible ambiance. Golden prawns were the best. Dexter was our server and was an expert of the menu. Would definitely recommend!!

Great Spot for an intimate dinner with Family or Friends. Everyone was Great, but our Server Dexter was the best. He attended to our every need and was quite engaging in conversations. A very accommodating establishment for us.

Dexter was superb The food was amazing Attentive, excellent service, catered for your every need . We would highly recommend.

Very underwhelming. Went for a birthday celebration that I told the restaurant about when I called. It’s the first restaurant in my life that didn’t give a dessert with “happy birthday” written next to it! Was one candle too much effort to put? Food was nothing special. After reading the reviews I expected something very tasty /impressive. Our order didnt fit on the table so they put in somewhere behind in the corridor so when we wanted more food, we either had to stand up or ask someone to bring it to us. Obviously it got very cold. Also, it took so much time for the waitress to put our food on our plates, every 10 min our conversation was interrupted. And there’s no need to ask if we like the food every 5 min by multiple people. It should be on person and not constantly. Sitting was horrible. Felt like in a market where people walk behind and next to you all the time. Door kept on opening and closing adding noise and wind. Half of restaurant was empty but we were not allowed to sit there. Have been in many restaurants in london but this one has been a great disappointment

Great food and service. Our waiter Dexter was extremely accomodating and very attentive we celebrated Mothers day and he made our day special with his exceptional service

Really very good food. So many options for vegetarians!! The most out of any Chinese restaurant in London. The service was amazing. Especially Dexter our server was very nice. Would of course be returning for another meal!!

It is within the Taj London hotel, entrance is from street level, food is out of the world!!

Had a really nice dinner. Food was lovely and the service, particularly Dexter, was really attentive and helpful. Would recommend.

Great service and fab food! Had a lovely experience and the presentation of the food is superb. Special thanks to Dexter for being attentive and he ensured our allergy requirements were met.

Such a beautiful restaurant! Went for my 1 year anniversary and had such an amazing experience. Shubham was an excellent host. The food was delicious- so many vegetarian options for my partner. The mushroom, cheese and truffle oil dimsum was so moreish!

A fantastic place if you like Chinese food. Elegant, very good food and good service. 100% recommended. We will repeat.

We have been having dinner at the restaurant and we have eaten excellent! All very, very good! Dexter has treated us with a lot of affection and great attention.

The food, ambience and the hospitality were amazing. Shubham was a great host. No shortage of vegetarian options and an aptly elaborate menu. Enjoyed my time here thoroughly!

The place, food and service was actually incredible! Such beautiful settings, great value for money and we loved the way they served each dish. Shubham was a wonderful host, he kept us entertained and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything! Can't...

Got recommendation from Bany to have dinner at House of Ming. And it was fabulous. The atmosphere, foods, ambience all are extraordinary. The staffs especially Karan , Ivanio,Mavis ,Zatty and Sah have been so so kind, generous and wonderful ♥️

What wonderful food and such great service. Highly recommend this place to anyone. Very nice atmosphere and delicious food! Our server Ivonio was attentive and extremely professional.

We had a wonderful dinner at the House of Ming after a recommendation from Bany. We were wonderfully attended to by Karan, Mavis, Ivanio, Zatty and Sah throughout the evening! The food was exquisite as were the mocktails! I can’t wait to come back again!

Amazing restaurant, excellent food and lovely, welcoming staff. We were served by Chris and Prasad who were vigilant and extremely polite throughout the whole dinner. Highly recommended place for family and couples.

As a vegetarian there were great options so I didn’t feel left out considering all the friends I dined with were meat eaters. The service was excellent; staff patient, knowledgeable and personable. I drank a lychee martini which was average. However, I highly recommend the sleepy rabbit mocktail 👌🏾. The food was fresh, and flavoursome although they played it on the safe side with some of the flavours. That said, the sauces filled any gaps with flavour. I enjoyed the mushroom dim sum but they could have added more garlic. My friends adored the salt and pepper chicken and lobsters! I had the orange sorbet for desert which was superb. Overall and excellent experience and I’ve given 4* due to my requirement for more flavour for the dishes I had.

Delicious food, good portions, perfect for a dinner date. I highly recommend for people who would like to try and enjoy a different experience.

A beautiful restaurant perfect for a date night. We celebrated Valentine’s day here. Dexter was so kind and his service was amazing. Would highly recommend this place and service if you are looking for a nice dinner with friends or as a couple.

Excellent service, amazing food. Can’t get better. Loved our evening at The house of Ming. Special thanks to Prasad and shah for taking care of us the birthday cake and song was an amazing touch

Great food, really good service from Shah, he was very attentive and helpful through the entire tasting menu. Would return!

Great set menu! And very reasonably priced. Nice environment. Friendly and attentive staff. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting a fancy night out

Brilliant food and excellent service from Zetty. We will be back for more of the delicious food. Highly recommended, great atmosphere.

We had such a lovely meal here. Dexter was wonderful, attentive and he explained each dish to us from the set dinner menu. Would highly recommend!

Dexter and service was amazing!!! Top food, total vibe!, great service!! Staff very welcoming. Dexter looked after us very well
