House of Ming in City of London, Westminster

Everything was perfect. Special attention to detail. Clean and very pleasant.

From entering the experience was very nice. Shah was very helpful with recommending dishes and made our visit feel special and elevated

Everything was delicious except for the Peking duck and the scallop dish. The duck was not carved in front of us, and it was served already sliced ​​with the meat and skin together. It seemed like it had been cut a while ago, as the meat was dry. Except for the peking duck and scallop dishes, everything is delicious. The duck was sliced ​​with the meat and skin together instead of being carved as seen, but the meat was dry as it had been a long time since it was all sliced. Except for us, all the customers were Indian.

Top quality dumplings and top quality service from Dexter

Really nice Chinese restaurant, we focused on their dim sums, although we also had their duck and a few mains. Definitely not cheap and you can certainly get duck as good as theirs at many takeaways for a fraction of the price - but the dim sums were exceptional.

House of Ming at the Taj St James Court London delivered an absolutely exceptional lunch experience! From the moment we stepped in, the ambiance was perfectly serene and elegant, creating a truly special atmosphere. We started with the Golden Fried Prawn, which was crispy and bursting with flavour, followed by the perfectly seasoned Chicken Salt and Pepper, and the delicate Prawn Har Gao Dimsum. Each appetizer was a testament to the kitchen's mastery of Chinese cuisine. For our mains, the Hakka Noodles were cooked to perfection, the Chilli Oyster Fish was rich and satisfying, and the Veg Fried Rice was a delightful accompaniment. The delectable flavours of each dish were truly memorable. A special mention must go to Dexter, whose warm welcome and attentive service made our lunch even more enjoyable. His care and professionalism ensured we had a truly wonderful time. We can't wait to return to House of Ming for another incredible meal!

We had a great evening, the food was some of the tastiest I have ever had with amazing presentation, our waiter Dexter was amazing, the whole experience was fantastic

The food was amazing. Dexter was very helpful and provided us with excellent service

Brilliant food and service. We’ve been to many of the best Chinese restaurants in London and this is up there for sure. Dumplings/dim sum are great, as well as the noodles. The restaurant is nice and very clean. The service deserves a special mention - Dexter and Palpasha provided great assistance and hospitality, advising us very well on the best offerings in the menu. Shubhaam was also warm and nice to talk to. Will be back!

Delicious food and excellent service! We checked TripAdvisor for highly rated foods near Westminster Abbey and this one was the first listing. It was more high end than we expected, and the food truly is elevated in both presentation and taste! Our server Dexter was fantastic and very attentive.

The food was honestly very good, but we were still hungry after half a Peking duck for two people...that's never happened to us at a Chinese restaurant. There's nothing to go with it except a little shredded cabbage, thin pancakes, plus some sauce. Completely different than what we are used to and it is simply too expensive. The service, staff, ambience are very nice, but what's the point of leaving a restaurant hungry after a long day traveling around London.

Dexter was a amazing man he made our evening memorable all big thanks for all of the staff to help us celebrating the day .

Outstanding service from all staff food was exceptional to match the service could not fault anything we had the best seat in the house thank you for a fabulous evening

We celebrated a 60th at this lovely restaurant. The food and service were excellent. Our waitress Xinyue was brilliant. We will definitely go back again!

Very nice food, lunch set menu was very affordable. Dexter was a great host.

Excellent service, fantastic food. Thank you to Dexter, Shubham and his team for a wonderful evening.

I would like to thank Shubham and his team for the great hospitality. The food and service was definitely delicious and on point. Thankyou Dexter for being so attentive with his service.

Went for the dinner option Very nice food and portion size was great Good service especially from Avighna and rest of the staff

The food was hit and miss. Dim sum was mid. The staff was polite and attentive. Our food was slightly delayed, then they gave us a free dish. Service and atmosphere were excellent, but they just need to step up in the food department.

Lovely experience with wonderful food. The crispy aromatic duck is one of the best i have ever had. Lovely service also from Athava that made the experience something something extra with free tea and some very interesting backstory. Overall great experience😊

Beautiful place. Food was pretty good!

My fave meal in a long time. Dexter, our server was knowledgeable and super helpful. The hostess, Palpashawas kind to our family and we left full and wanting to come back. Hope to come back here again on our next trip!

This place is despicable!!, staff working here have no manners and no sense of how to talk to a customer, the person i was speaking to his parents must have not taught him how to talk to people, the way i was rudely spoken to was just disgusting first of all asking where my father was, my father who is not alive disrspecting my late dad Ive rang up to place a order and Instead i got back animal like behaviour from the staff. I will definitely get my review passed through multiple people. You've lost a valuable customer and my money i was going to order a big takeaway worth 200 pound worth of food for a gathering but not anymore id rather go to another place where I'm not treated like trash.

Just to warn customers that I was contacted this morning to give good reviews to that restaurant against remuneration.I wrote back saying that I would go there first in a fortnight and check first by myself before writing a genuine review. The contact erased the communication and deleted account

Beautiful place with lovely food choices.

Dined here on a Saturday evening after a matinee performance of Hamilton at the nearby Victoria Palace Theatre. We had a lovely evening, which was well attended to by the staff who managed to strike the right balance between making sure my wine glass was always full, and not being over-bearing. The service was well-paced too and we were not rushed as we worked our way through the £80 per head tasting menu (we also added on a coupe of extra bits too) and a couple of bottles of wine. The food was very nice, but having eaten at other similar types of venues, I felt like there was a slight lack of refinement and quality for the prices that are being asked for across the whole menu - which is expensive, but its what you expect when you go out for dinner in London. I agree with what some others say, that for the price there is an underwhelming quantity of food - especially with the Dim Sum, and most meat options. Less so for rice and noodles dishes. Total bill was just over £300 for two of us, which I thought was reasonable given where we were, and what we'd had. Would we go again, maybe, but probably more likely to spend a bit more and go to A.Wong instead.

Shah was amazing through out the delicious meal

We came for lunch to try their Chinese New Year menu. Dexter who served us was very attentive and took very good care of us throughout our meal. He gave us good recommendations and we really enjoyed all the dishes. He’s also multilingual as well which was very impressive! The interiors are beautiful and a lovely ambience to celebrate the festive season. We look forward to returning soon :)

Fabulous refined Chinese food by Hong Kong chef Dickson. Was there for the Chinese New Year menu, recommend the steamed fish, lobster and spinach with superior stock. Great service by Dexter, who speaks Cantonese after his stint in Macau.

Food was delicious! Special shoutout to Dexter for going above and beyond to make our Grandma’s birthday extra special

Amazing service and very tasty food. Dexter helped us with the surprise cake with candles. Really helped me out :)

The food was absolutely incredible and so delicious. Dexter’s service and politeness very appreciated and awesome. He was extremely professional. The Peking duck, best I ever had. The prawns with green beans also very good. Will definitely come back

Amazing food and service. Everything was so tasty from the dim sum selection and there was a huge vegan offering. Dexter served us and was brilliant.

Been here for dinner with my wife, two days before the Chinese lunar new year. We tried some starters from the house menu and mains from the special NY menu. It was delicious. Dexter and Arpitha were such a good team, sharp eye for details and customer care. Thank you for the great experience!

A "Chinese restaurant" run by Indians. Service and hospitality was good. Authenticity and quality of food is questionable. Went here for CNY 2025. Little better than your local take away at 10x the price. Needs some improvement to justify the price tag. Focus more on food and less on pomp!

Arpitha and Ivonio were so lovely and their sevice was fantastic. Everything was delicious!!! Definitely would come back again!!!

Would highly recommend, great service and staff. Food was fantastic and lots of choice definitely booking again soon!

This place was an excellent experience

Great place to eat, I really enjoyed the food.

The Chinese food is tasty. Though for the price the main course quantity is questionable. The staff is courteous and welcoming. Attention to detail is remarkable. One drawback is that they have some on going problem with their bathrooms where the housekeeping staff had to be called again and again.

The restaurant is very dim inside due to the lights, also the prices of the food overpriced too.

Great food and drinks, would recommend

Really nice food would go back again

Had a lovely meal here with friends at the weekend. Nice atmosphere. Great restaurant, very friendly and top quality food. Highly recommended.

Really nice food would go back again

The food and dinning was absolute delicious and delightful I would be sure to return soon.

Great place great food would say great place to go for good food good vibes

Excellent service and fantastic meal well worth visiting

Worst customer service eu foods not fresh

Our head waiter Shah was outstanding and explained the menu and mostly importantly made my daughter feel like a princess. Lover the food, the service and everything else about this place.

Great food, service, atmosphere, and lighting. Fantastic vegetarian options.

What a lovely place went for my birthday food was excellent staff was amazing

“I had a wonderful dining experience at this Chinese restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious, and the staff were incredibly professional and welcoming. Their warm and attentive service made me feel right at home. I am thoroughly satisfied with the service provided and will definitely be returning. Highly recommended!”

Beautiful location, I would say luxurious, impeccable service, very professional and helpful. Everything we ordered was excellent. High bill but justified by what I wrote before.

Truly quality food, of course you pay a little more than in any Chinese restaurant, various qualities of dishes, well-organised and professional service

House of Ming, Chinese cuisine inspired by regional Sichuan and Cantonese cooking and owned by the Taj Group of hotels. The restaurant is big but split into lots of smaller sections. The “Scallop golden garlic” was the best of all the dim sum; very thin and delicate. The Turbot was a letdown; bland. Service was very good indeed, being extremely attentive and helpful.

My friends and I recently came to celebrate a 30th birthday, I was pleasantly surprised at the high quality of food and customer service! The food was beautifully cooked, my friend and I had ordered the crispy aromatic duck with a side of egg fried rice which. We also ordered cocktails off the menu which were refreshing and definitely complimented each dish. We all thoroughly enjoyed experiencing great service from Shah who was so lovely and nice - he really went above and beyond (thank you for cutting the cake for us and being extremely patient with taking our photos). Thank you so much for a wonderful experience!

Dinner was amazing here, the food, atmosphere and service, particularly Shah, he was so kind and lovely and helpful the whole way through. The duck was beautifully cooked and perfect, would definitely recommend to friends

The taste is religiously good We stayed at the Taj Hotel for a different experience and the House of Ming is attached. We love our Dimsum/Yum Cha and this is truely next level in taste and texture Don’t forget the cocktails! The price… well for the price of a couple of steaks anywhere in London you can have several dishes here and better environment ! Our waiter Prasad was first rate in service and knowledgeable Highly Recommended

This has been one of my best restaurant experiences in London, after visiting yearly. Food was absolutely brilliant, definitely recommend the dim sum option. However, the portion sizes are not huge, just enough to feel satisfied. The service was absolutely fenomenal and I cannot recommend this restaurant enough!

Amazing food and great waiters. Dexter took care of us and was the nicest. The slots wäre a little too short though. Would be nice to have more time🤞🏼 Anyway- we will come again😍

Sub-standard Chinese food and experience. Considering I spent £350 for 3 people, I thought it would be wise for people to be aware what they are paying for. We ordered the most expensive dishes (Chefs Signatures) Wagyu Beef, Fried Lamb, Glazed Pork. All were salty and oily. The Roast Duck was the only nice dish. Chicken noodle and rice were disappointing and bland. Service was a mess. They forgot to take my coat, I had to ask them. They provided 2 menus for 3 people. One of their toilets did not flush properly (The left one if you care to know). At the end there was no one at the door to provide my coat, I had to interrupt two waiters whilst they where talking to each other. Sad to say the decor and environment were no better, stale with no charm. If the restaurant wasn't so overly priced and classed as fine dinning then I would be more tolerant but when it's so expensive you expect the best. Do not waste your money here, Mr. Ming is sleeping on the job!

Lovely evening with the family enjoying a Christmas family outing and dinner at House of ming. It suited the variety of taste buds for my family to vegetarian and some poultry dishes. We had a separate area as we had children with us and gave hen space to play around and not disturb other guests. Dexter our waiter was helpful with menu choices, attentive and went an extra mile for us with helping serve the children food quickly as they were hungry. I would recommend this place to enjoy a variety of Chinese food in London

Food is pretty good but the portions are soooo small.

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!

Overpriced for what you get, definately not 5 star, 3 at best. I've had far better and paid less. Spring Rolls were tiny and hardly any filling. Their table sauces added the flavour which made me finish the main meal. Egg fried rice and Hakka Noodles were glistening with oil. The sauce with the Tofu was a strange gooey consistency. Even the free dessert was poor. We just couldn't fault the impeccable service, but I heard two other tables complain during our time their, about the food. Such a shame. I had high expectations after it was recommended, but the food let it down. I was also cold the entire time sat right opposite the entrance. Decor was luxurious and cosy.

Came here for my mum's birthday and had a fantastic evening. The food was amazing and desserts imaginative, the service was excellent and all the team went above and beyond esp. our main server Dexter. My mum was made to feel very special. Would definitely recommend.

Visited this gem in london. Is exactly what you expect from a Taj restaurant - excellent service, lovely ambiance and delicious food. Has a large section of vegetarian options. Dimsums are really good.

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

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

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 😊

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.

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.
