Kaifeng in Barnet

An outstanding experience and food was brilliant too and it was a delight to meet Mr Han , the owner, whose passion for excellence was clear.

We were in London for a few days and we were really looking forward to eating in this restaurant. I had been previously many many years ago but not with my family. On arrival, we were ‘greeted’ by this sour bunch of three ladies, one who confirmed our reservation, one who took our coats and one who showed us to the table. We were put off by this but we were looking forward to our meal so we simply ignored this. Once we saw the exorbitant menu prices (around £29 per dish), we decided to just order a main course only to be asked by the waitress, “is that it? That’s all you are going to order?” What we decide to order is our choice and do not expect to be ‘judged’ by a waitress! Again, we decided to ‘brush this off’ and ordered our meal. To describe this as a ‘meal’ is an understatement! The chicken in black bean sauce had maybe 6 small pieces of chicken, perhaps 50g at most. This was spongy and with no texture at all. I can honestly say that if I ate it blindfolded I would never guess that it was chicken! The spare ribs came absolutely drowned in a thick gloopy sauce and the meat was like a rubber boot and again with not enough to feed a kitten and the fried rice was way undercooked and hard. At this point I had had enough and decided to ask for the owner/manager. Two or three servers came in turn before the actual owner decided to grace us with his presence. At no point did I raise my voice as I had no intention of disturbing other diners. The owner, Norman his name was berated us in a loud voice that he had over 40 years experience in the restaurant business and that no one had ever complained about his food and that he only served prime cuts. He also said that this was kosher food and that we had no idea what kosher food was all about!! We eat kosher at home and when we eat out and he had no right whatsoever to judge us like this! All the other customers were now staring at us making the situation highly embarrassing to say the least! HE then literally threw us out of the restaurant. Looking at the reviews here on Tripadvisor I can clearly see that other people HAVE complained and rightly so, and shared similar experiences to ours. Norman, if you ever read this (and I think you should) please take heed. I will post this review on Tripadvisor and on all Kosher restaurant review sites I can find! Shame on you and shame on your establishment!

We went for a family lunch on 25th December. The service and food were excellent. The restaurant was full but not crowded. The decor was light and elegant. The service was wonderful, despite there being 4 sittings, we were not rushed and the food for each course arrived in good time. We ordered from the set menu and supplemented it with some a la carte items. Nothing was too much trouble for the team serving us - they were very attentive but not intrusive. I can highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely add it to my list of favourites.

We have been coming to this restaurant since the late 1980s. This visit was very disappointing. The prices had gone up substantially the portions had shrunk inversely to the increase in the price. The signature dish, fried chilli beef was All batter and had no meat in it at all, at least that could be identified . The noodles were mediocre. The other two main portions were very good. Prices have gone up generally, but this restaurant has taken advantage of the fact.

Service was excellent .Food was delicious and plentiful. Prices were a bit high but well worth paying.

I was there last week ordered with 5 other people 6 dishes they were perfect and not dry as others have commented! Staff were great! Mr Hans was perfect! Ambience was excellent. We received a discount! I believe without a doubt this is the best chinese kosher restaurant in England!

I would leave zero stars if I could for the Kaifeng (Glatt Kosher Chinese) ...Terrible! It’s not a “Place for a Simcha”, as they said… No way! The duck (!!!) was very, very dry and tasted like feet, and the eggplants were not cooked well… Service from start to finish was bad: I would say the worst customer service in London! It was overall, a very bad experience. Finally, they charged an exorbitant bill. So, the slogan for the Kaifeng should be - "Tasteless, Expensive, and Unpleasant"! Don’t spend your money there!!!

The soups were amazing. Chicken sweet corn and Wonton.we should have quit while we were ahead. The duck was tough. The noodles were tasteless.

I've said before that I think Kaifeng is possibly the best kosher restaurant in London, occasionally let down only by the boorishness of a tiny minority of other diners. On this visit we were able to enjoy the restaurant at its best and, like us, the friends we were with were extremely impressed by the ambience, food, and friendly, attentive service. They also remain incredibly Covid-secure, insisting on face masks , hand sanitiser and temperature checks. I like the decor, which is soothing woods and paintings, with deep carpeting meaning you can talk at the table without having to shout. I like that they have proper linens on and at the table, which all brings the experience up a notch. And I also like the fact that the owner is usually there, and his long-serving staff all get to know we 'regulars'. Kaifeng isn't cheap, but the tasty food is surprisingly filling and I don't think a cost of £39 each for a starter, main course, drinks and service is at all bad. We were so full there was no room for dessert! Remember to ask for your scratchcard when you pay the bill, as they run a promotion where each scratchcard can give you 15-100% off your bill.

My wife and I went to this restaurant this evening for our wedding anniversary. A special restaurant for a special anniversary. Everything was amazing from start to finish at Kaifeng. The staff are so welcoming and they really do care. The food was out of this world. It was absolutely amazing. Even the decor was very impressive. We will definitely be back there. Thank you Kaifeng for making our anniversary so special

Kaifeng is in a class of its own when it comes to kosher restaurants in London. It’s pricey (though ask for their discount scratch card for your next visit as it gives 15-100pc off) but worth it. Food is fresh and tasty and service (on fresh linen) attentive. Covid precautions are superb. The set menus are best value and we were very full after the mid-priced one (£48 each). The main courses were wonderful. The Chinese tea was perfect and refills free and plentiful. Drinks are otherwise expensive. There’s an ok selection for vegetarians and a good fish selection but this is primarily a meat restaurant. The staff also dealt well with the inconsiderate behaviour of a small number of guests, unfortunately all seated next to us. At one table they were loud, rude and sarcastic to staff and then started vaping inside the restaurant, joined by another chap who also started vaping. Illegal in the UK as well they knew. We too had to have words and they stopped (though then were sassy about us in Yiddish as they wrongly thought we wouldn’t understand). One young couple managed to move tables away from these gentlemen but no other table was available for the size of our party unfortunately. My advice is to sit downstairs where it’s quieter as the larger parties sit upstairs. But as I say, the staff dealt with these men effectively and professionally and our evening was not unduly affected as a result.

Kaifeng isn’t cheap but the food is consistently good, the ambience is lovely and the staff friendly and efficient. We had one dish which wasn’t up to their usual high standards and we were immediately offered a replacement or for it to be taken off the bill. They made a real fuss of my wife (it was her birthday) which was lovely. The only downside was the brusqueness of some of the other diners, something I’ve not seen at Kaifeng before and which the Kaifeng team handled professionally and effectively. Their Covid controls are superb - temperature checks and hand sanitiser on arrival, team all wearing masks, tables and chairs thoroughly cleaned between use. And well ventilated (at least until some of the more dramatic diners complained they’d ‘die of cold’!).

Kaifeng isn’t cheap but it could well be the best kosher restaurant in London. It has strict Covid protocols in place with temperature checks on entry and a huge hand sanitising station. Its food remains as fresh, hot and tasty as we remembered from those pre-Covid days when we were last there, and it was lovely to renew our acquaintance with what felt like an old friend. Well done Kaifeng and to its loyal, long-standing team, for keeping up its high standards even in these tricky times.

Some people have written some very negative reviews here. I don't know which restaurant they went to - perhaps they are just fussy belligerent folk, or perhaps they had an unfortunate experience, I don't know. I have never been disappointed by Kaifeng's food or service, though they can be busy. Kaifeng is the best Kosher Restaurant I know. The food is top notch and entirely Kosher and authentically Chinese. Unfortunately they know they are the best, and they charge accordingly and remain busy. So only go if you are prepared to pay well for your meal. We looked at a family celebration of my son's bar-mitzvah and decided we simply could not afford it. Do check the web site and ask, as there is normally a discount of at least 10% as standard. Most recently my wife and I went for our 30th wedding anniversary. The staff appear to all be Chinese but strangely they have backed off from the Chinese decor they used to have and gone from some more western paintings on the walls. Also we were given chop-sticks, as soon as we asked, but the default setting was a knife and fork. Perhaps they know their clientelle and have found a lot of people don't like things too "strange". COVID-19 precautions were satisfactory (we went during a lull in the pandemic). Still a great restaurant if you can afford to eat there.

A friend ordered a takeaway for us. Many times with takeaways the food loses some flavour. Not in this case. It was first class. We enjoyed it so much that we visited Kaifeng for lunch the following week. Absolutely wonderful.. The food was top class quality & the cocktails were very tasty. Service was very friendly. The precautions taken were very reassuring with masks worn by the staff, temperatures being taken & hand sanitation. It also has a 5 star hygiene rating. The cost might be a little higher than ordinary Chinese restaurants, but this is kosher food & Kaifeng is top quality & no ordinary restaurant. Will be having more takeaways & meals.

Decided we needed Chinese delivered so as a change from our usual opted instead for Kaifeng.The bill for two at just over £90 was correct and we did enjoy our meal but I don’t need another mortgage !

Went with a friend. They are very attentive about the virus and every time someone left the table they stripped it and sprayed all the chairs and tables and wiped everything down. All the staff are wearing gloves and masks. On entry they check your temperature and ask you to wash your hands. So far so good The food. Portions are of a generous size and cooked to order. Chicken and beef dishes were exceptional and was everything else we had. Cocktails and also very good. It’s kosher so not cheap but honestly the food was great. The staff friendly and helpful. Restaurant tonight was busy and almost full but with tables spaced apart. I can’t complain about any aspect and will be retuning very soon. The people that have left poor reviews simply cannot be pleased on any level so please go and try for yourself

About 20 years ago this place was great. Living out of town, it’s been that long since I last visited, and it’s still good - but probably not great anymore. The food was good, with plenty of choice, and my starter of chicken spring rolls was good (although a slightly small portion), as was my main course of pineapple chicken. The whole family was happy with their choices, but the service was a bit haphazard. So, I had finished my starter by the time my son’s arrived (we had to chase for it - there had been some mix-up in the kitchen), and it was difficult to attract attention from the staff when we were wanting to lay the bill and leave. You couldn’t fault them for their attention to social distancing measures, though - staggering arrival times (you ad to ring from the car outside), testing temperatures, enforcing hand-sanitizer etc - fair play to them. It’s just a pity that the staff weren’t a bit less socially distant towards the end of the meal! Maybe life has moved in since the halcyon days when Kaifeng ruled the roof - or maybe we just caught them on a particularly busy ‘Eat Out To Help Out’ night.

Incluso al hacer la reserva, la señora fue excepcionalmente grosera. Deberíamos habernos dado cuenta entonces. Al llegar a las 7 pm, me dijeron que necesitaban mesa para 8. La misma señora que tomó la reserva por teléfono. Ella nos gritó con rudeza. Realmente no debería estar al frente de la casa. Nunca he recibido el final de un servicio tan terrible y una actitud amenazante.Es una pena porque la comida normalmente es buena.¡USTED HA SIDO ADVERTIDO!

Visité un miércoles a la hora del almuerzo. Personal amable y bien decorado para el año nuevo chino. Había entrado aperitivos mixtos para comenzar que estaban bien y compartió pato crujiente para platos principales. Los precios parecen ser elevados y sospechan que esto se debe a un restaurante kosher. Sería mucho más barato en un restaurante chino estándar.

Food quality was poor. Lamb very hard. More like mutton. Duck with orange was bitter. Portion size was very small for what we paid. Used to be very good but this time was disappointing especially for the person I was with who’d never had the food before

Was really looking forward to dinner here on Christmas Day, given the small number of spots open on Christmas. The vibe is fascinating, and I'd consider returning just for that, but unfortunately the food is not good and the service was quite rude. Bear in mind that nothing you order will even remotely resemble the dish as you are likely used to it.

My pregnant wife and I came to Kaifeng after a full day of traveling and were excited to eat a nice hot kosher Chinese meal, however, we had no idea for the horror show we were about to experience. We walked in to find the restaurant completely empty with one of the male servers petulantly asking us if we had a reservation and making it seem like he was doing us a favor by accommodating us.As we were seated we treated to a nice table and served small peanuts and some small fried wonton strips. When trying to order, we asked the hostess for recommendations and were stared at as if we came from another planet with a blank expressionless look. We ended up ordering two main courses and the staff condescendingly asked why we were not ordering more food.The food came out in less than five minutes (always a bad sign) and the portions were shockingly small. I'm talking maybe less than 5-6 pieces of chicken per plate (maybe 100 grams max including 90% of it being peanuts and veggies) and no sides to boot, all for the hefty price of £23 a plate. My wife and I stared at each other in disbelief and couldn't believe we were being ripped off so badly!We called the server over who in turn "spoke to her manager" and went back to the kitchen for another five minutes only to add a few peanuts onto only one of our dishes to make it look bigger (again this portion size wouldn't satisfy a baby squirrel). After calling the manager again we were met with rude and condescending comments telling us "this isn't America" and going on and on about how this is KOSHER CHINESE food (which in our experience serves normal portions). We were treated with such disrespect and spoken to in such a demeaning manner that we had to simply get up and leave. I can honestly say that I have NEVER been treated so badly in a restaurant. The manager barked at us like a rabid dog and made childlike comments that honestly made me feel so embarrassed that I had recommended it to my wife. I remember coming here and enjoying it but it seems to have very much gone downhill and then some. I wouldn't recommend coming here unless by chance you happen to be into paying for horrible service and minimal food. I seriously would avoid this place like the plague, your wallet, and your stomach will agree with me and thank you.

La comida no solo es sabrosa, sino que el personal y el servicio son perfectos: no demasiado intrusivos, pero siempre están presentes si se requiere algo. Este es nuestro lugar para ir, ya sea en pareja, con nuestra familia o con amigos. ¡También hemos tenido grandes fiestas aquí! Simplemente ama, ama, ama este lugar.

Nice restaurant that offers full kosher Chinese food! Was busy on a Tuesday and packed - almost Indian taste profile Chinese food! Over 30 years old - met the owner - was good to see!

Average food, average service, average everything apart from the ridiculously expensive prices. Kosher food does have a premium - but really?

Although the lamb in plumb sauce with lettuce was first class all their prices are ridiculously rocket high.To walk away feeling satisfied you'd have to spend £100 per person. As at this time, all shops were closed so late in the evening, thank goodness I had a local baker's sandwich at home and much else besides.The mark of a good restaurant isn't high prices with inadequate portions.There is no good feel factor about this restaurant due to their idiotic prices and tiny portions.

Great food in an attractive white table cloth setting. Service is warm and friendly as well. Not that easy to get to from Central London. Can be reached by bus from Golders Green or Hendon Tube stations. Worth the trip!

Hace unas semanas tuve una cena de negocios allí y después de una buena comida y servicio, me dieron a mí y a mis compañeros una de las tarjetas de rascar para una futura visita donde potencialmente se puede ganar hasta un descuento del 100%. Así que una semana más tarde fui con mi esposa y tuve una comida maravillosa y un gran servicio. Pedí la factura y le di la tarjeta de rascar a nuestro servidor y. . . . . . . . Obtuvimos un descuento del 100%. ¡Así que esta maravillosa comida con un gran servicio y atención al detalle me costó la propina! No habíamos estado en unos 20 años, así que creo que podemos estar yendo bien antes de que pasen los próximos 20 años.

Este es un gran restaurante El buffet del domingo es bastante bueno ya un precio razonable. Sin embargo, generalmente pedimos a la carta ya que tenemos nuestros platos favoritos. El pato siempre es increíble, pero todo es simplemente delicioso. El servicio es atento y muy agradable. Excelente para familias. Lista de vinos corta pero agradable también.

Este es un restaurante increíble con un hermoso ambiente familiar. Los camareros son muy amables y la comida es espectacular. El mejor restaurante chino kosher de lejos! El menú es largo y tienen muchas opciones vegetarianas y veganas. El 1000% lo recomienda a cualquiera que quiera un chino tradicional delicioso, kosher garantizado.

INCRED food and INCRED service. Absolutely amazing. TOP TOP TOP. You have to go. Waitresses and waiters are LITERALLY NUMBER 1. Food is of the BEST quality. Been going since I was young- never been let down.

Fantástico restaurante! Todo lo que comí estaba riquísimo. Excelente relación calidad-precio, personal amable, excelente para familias, ya que hay una gran variedad de comida. Lo único que diría es que no toda la comida estaba caliente, algunos de los entrantes eran bastante fríos.

The food was good and I had the buffet lunch but I object to being forced to paying a service charge (15% which is very high anyway) for a BUFFET where the whole idea is self service. I was not impressed and shall not be going back

Haven’t been to this restaurant in awhile so we decided to try it again;

I ordered the sweet & sour chicken and noodles over the phone for delivery to my hotel in Luton. It was delicious. Will order from them again, when in the area again.

No te dejes llevar por la palabra kosher.

Han pasado 15 años desde nuestra última visita, desde entonces hemos estado en Met Su Yan muchas veces. Pero Met Su Yan no puede tocar esto, fue excelente.

Vamos a sacar el precio del camino. La cuenta para 4 de nosotros con nada de beber, excepto agua del grifo y té (continua) fue de poco más de 250 y eso incluía un 15% de servicio. ¿Suena horrible? Usted podría pensar que sí, pero por favor siga leyendo.

Dos de mis nietos habían terminado de Israel y sé que les gusta que los lleven a Kaifeng, donde ya hemos comido muchas veces.

Fuimos para el buffet del domingo esperando al menos pollo agridulce. La mayor parte de la comida era cordero cordero y el cordero era totalmente graso y a todos no nos gusta el cordero. El personal era grosero e inútil. Dijeron que deberíamos haber preguntado primero qué había en el menú. Le dije que no había estado un domingo antes, como debería haberlo sabido. Seguían insistiendo no en su trabajo para informar. Pedimos una reducción ya que comimos casi nada. Lo que comimos fue comida de la cafetería totalmente deficiente. Ellos rechazaron. Bueno, no vamos a volver. No tienen modales ni idea de cómo tratar a los clientes. ¡Evita!

¡Esta no es la primera vez que cenamos en Kaifeng y ciertamente no será la última! La comida aquí es excepcionalmente deliciosa y el personal (Amy maneja el restaurante con verdadero aplomo y se asegura de que todo funcione sin problemas) son todos muy amables y dispuestos a complacer. Nada es mucho problema. El menú es extenso y eso incluye la selección de vinos. Este no es un lugar barato para comer, pero sin duda uno de los favoritos de la familia para una noche especial. Y sin olvidar el buffet del almuerzo del domingo, que tiene una excelente relación calidad-precio y definitivamente la manera de probar el lugar. No puedo esperar para volver para nuestra próxima celebración.

My husband and I were craving Chinese Food - and decided to take an Uber from our Kennington Hotel to Hendon. Walking in we were pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere was lovely. The restaurant was clean. The decor was beautiful. We immediately sat down and ordered soup and an appetizer. We asked to wait to order our main course. Everything arrived quickly and was delicious. We had Won Ton/Hot and Sour Soup....Steamed Chicken Dumplings..... Sizzling Beef (especially delish)..... Chicken with Broccoli (good but nothing special) ..... and Bubble Wrap Ice Cream for dessert. The food was nicely presented, delicious, ...... I will say the size of the portions were on the smaller side (compared to America) for the price..... but it was GOOD. Wait staff was present and asked how everything was.... and let me tell you.... Get the Bubble Wrap Ice Cream.... so delicious!!!

An "all you can eat" experience in style with gracious service, albeit with a limited menu, for about £30 per head after paying extra for the unlimited tea and the 15% service charge. We had an enjoyable family lunch to celebrate a birthday. I couldn't face that menu every day or every Sunday, but once in a while it is worthwhile.

We were at KAIFENG in Hendon several years ago. It was my wife birthday and we decided to go there and try it again. Honestly, we were slightly disappointed. It was better before. I found that prices were very high in comparison to the food we got.

Kaifeng is an established Kosher Chinese restaurant in Hendon in North West London. Entering you feel as if you are going back in time into the 1970's or 80's, mainly thanks to the decor which doesn't seemed to have changed much in 30 years. I said to my colleague, you could imagine a scene in the Godfather being set here.

Kaifeng boasts of selling over 75,000 ducks sold since they opened so it was good to experience once again this Kosher restaurants output of Chinese food.

Restricciones dietéticas impedía nuestro grupo de disfrutar de uno de los menús, así que elegimos en vez del muy caro a la selección a la carta.

Racist behaviour of the owner. I was told on the phone that the kitchen closes at 10.00. But when I turned up at 8.45, the owner declined to serve me in a very rude manner. I am here on a business trip and after a long day I was hungry and tired, walked a long distance from my hotel (Hendon Hall) to get such behaviour.

Llevé a mi hijo allí crecido por un almuerzo de cumpleaños de la semana. Éramos los únicos comensales. La temperatura estaba fría incluso después solicitamos la calefacción ser aumentado. El vino tinto era frío, así que pedí una copa en la temperatura de la habitación y me dijeron que todos los vinos eran la misma temperatura. Volví, y bebimos agua. El, muy bien, la comida era servida en una campo de ritmo rápido con la siguiente sin descanso. Nos dijo que nos sentimos que estábamos apurando pero no sirvió para nada. Cuando llegamos me los exorbitantes bill señaló que el 15% habían sido añadidos por el servicio. Les dije que no creo que el servicio vale 15% y no iba a pagar. Me informaron que tenía que hacerlo y no ajustar la factura. Yo insistí en ver al director. Él no reducir el servicio un poco y nos fuimos con dos horas restantes en el espacio de aparcamiento para el que habíamos pagado, anticipando una experiencia relajada y agradable que no tienen.

Este es uno de los restaurantes kosher más caras de Londres así que, que esperas que sea excelente. Por desgracia, no lo es. Fui con mi esposa y el pato era buena, los platos de carne y fideos eran sabrosos platos de verduras, pero el lado eran horribles. Nos enviaron las verduras dulce y agria ya que estaba frío y sin sabor (a 10 libras. 50 no me iba a dejar) y la mujer parecía molestarle en nosotros para no aceptar. Pedimos un plato de reemplazo de verduras crema de coco. La salsa de coco era irregular y 'pétreas y sabía horrible! Pero en ese momento me hubiera dado por vencido. Los postres son ridículamente caros también (8 libras. 50 por básico (sin helado leche! ) Este restaurante podría ser realmente bueno, pero con sólo 2 mesas llenas en un sábado por la noche es clara en cuanto a la gente que tienen los altos precios y mal servicio. Hay alternativas mucho más barato que están igual de bien. No perdería su dinero.

Fuimos a este lugar unas semanas atrás. Fue a mediados de semana y tranquila. El servicio estaba bien, la comida estaba bien pero muy grasienta, pero los precios son abusivos. Aprecio que éste es un restaurante kosher, así que los precios de la carne van a ser más altos, pero aún así, no se puede comparar con otros restaurantes kosher. £100 para 2 personas, para 2 cursos, sin vino.

I recently decided to treat myself to a meal at Kaifeng after reading reviews on here, and it looked lovely from the outside.

Tuve una experiencia horrible aquí hace algunos años pero volvió la última Nochevieja y era mucho mejor. La última noche fue excelente. Buen servicio y buena comida. Me encantó el pato crujiente y la sopa wonton. No es barato pero vale la pena pagar el extra. Creo que el tiempo en realidad podría dejar el gerente de restaurante frente de vez en cuando y mezclarse un poco más con los clientes, pero que mejor que estar en una pequeña crítica de cara así.

He comido muchas veces en este restaurante, comer en familia con y para llevar. Los precios son bastante elevados, pero tienen un buen menú de precio fijo en Domingo (creo que es domingo. . )

El hecho de este restaurante ha sobrevivido tanto tiempo es evidencia en sí misma de la calidad. Muy pocos restaurantes kosher en NW de Londres han sostenido durante este tiempo. Si estás buscando un buen malsana (! Comida kosher) China, este es el lugar. La comida era buena, especialmente el pato tortitas y el servicio es siempre excelente.

Hay algo sobre lo que todavía Kaifeng distingue de otros restaurantes kosher. Quizás es el ambiente más tranquilo, la falta de servicio, el uso frenético de ropa almidonada y suave iluminación. O quizás es sólo que - después de una reciente-la comida es nuevo solo que poco mejor en otro lugar. luego Las raciones son lo suficientemente grande sin ser colosales y Kaifeng ofrece una sensación de ocasión y la delicadeza de tocar que todavía hoy apreciar, muchos años después de nuestra primera visita.

Después de dos recientes bastante desastrosa de comprada Kaifeng me acerqué nuestra comida con amigos allí, con miedo. En mi cabeza esta era la última oportunidad para un restaurante me había encantado a lo largo de los años. Así que me preocupé por nada. Puede no ser su mejor pero para llegar allí. Que ambiente tranquilizador, buen servicio y lo mejor de todo un redescubrimiento de los delicados sabores significaba que teníamos una buena comida. No es barato y no es su mejor pero estoy encantado de decir que en esta prueba es redescubrir es para al fin. Vale la pena una visita.

Este es sin duda el mejor y más famoso kosher chino en el REINO UNIDO la comida va a ser caro, pero vale la pena cada céntimo. No me puedo quejar de la calidad o los servicios

Tiene un nuevo chef Kaifeng aparentemente. Él necesita mejorar como dos comidas recientes han sido decepcionantes. Algunos platos muy experimentados que estaban incomibles, algunos aún falta todo el sabor y algunos todavía delicada y Kaifeng como debe ser.

Teníamos llevar era muy caro y la calidad era horrible y sin sabor la carne chili era todo empalagoso el pato naranja estaba seco y sin sabor, como la dulce y agria Pollo y Fideos

Maravillosa comida auténtica, pak choi para morirse y un servicio atento. La calidad de la comida, ambiente tranquilo y servicio de mesa personal. Puede ser un poco costoso.

Increíble diseño interior, la comida es para morirse, sin embargo los precios son astronómicos - algas 5 libras!!! Conocimos su yan es más la pena, si no tan agradable.

Though the interior of the restaurant is very pleasant any good review from me stops there. The prices are astronomical but we were prepared to pay this as we had hoped our meal would be excellent ...it wasn't. Our starter of vegetarian spring rolls contained very little & was under cooked ...not fresh but fresh out of a packet.I was hungry & should have asked for my disgusting duck with orange to be taken back but as we were with a guest I was embarrassed to do so. The duck was really awful with a congealed thick orange sauce that was heavily poured over the slices of tasteless slices of duck ... it was beyond bad at £24 ! The horrible vegetables were meager in the extreme. My wife's chicken with pineapple was bland & awful too & she couldn't hardly eat it at all. Our other guest had the lamb that she complained had a strange taste to it. I couldn't contain myself anymore & did complain, only to be told by the Manageress that the chef disagreed with my criticism & the food was fine. We then got the bill which was not itemized so it was impossible to check it . The restaurant gave us a 20% discount but it still came to £96 without dessert, a couple of tonics a beer & a 15% service charge. I am sure that the bill was wrong - we just wanted to get out of this joint.

I was really impressed by the staff and service. Food was delicious.I had 4 types of meat. Every single one was absolutely delicious. Would highly recommend.

Took family from London who warned us about prices. Food was above average and came out from the kitchen right on time. Service was very good at our table. Crispy duck was great and we had a number of other dishes. Deserts were very tasty. All enjoyed the meal but coming from Canada I was a little shocked at the price...around £250 for 6 of us after a 10% discount. And only 2 Chinese beers on the alcohol side. So be prepared.

We directly look for a special restaurant. We eat just kosher meet, so when visit Beijing we ate just vegetables and fruits. So we wish try the Chinese meaty food too.The enviroment lovely, the staff was nice.The food was really nothing. I ate rib, tried the beef, rice and noodles too. The taste wasn't bad, but not as tasty than in China or the corner take away in Coventry, UK.The price was a bit higher than the average in London, but the 15% service fee is too high. The main dishes coming without side.Maybe one speciality enough when you going to eat.

The menu and food were not bad (shredded duck and pancakes were good). Ambiance was quite good, and not too noisy.However, the service was unfriendly. In addition, the cost of the meal was astronomical and this was not helped by a compulsory 15% tip which is added to the bill. I usally eat in Metsu-yan, where the food is at least as good, for not much more than half the price.

We usually go to Met Su Yan for Kosher Chinese food but thought we'd try Kaifeng which I haven't been to for 20 years- now I recall why. A very average meal where the quality of the food is below average cost us an eye wateringly £177 and that with no alcohol and we didn't particularly order much food - also one of was wanted fish and there was not one fish dish available. Service to be fair friendly but this is not even a special occasion restaurant so to be avoided unless you have more money than sense and even then you'd need locking up!

Kaifeng offers exceptionally tasty Chinese food (kosher) and impeccably attentive service. Coats are kept at a small room in the front so that they do not absorb any food smells. The interior design is beautiful and the atmosphere charming and intimate. We will definitely come back very soon.

My wife and I visited Kaifeng for dinner 20th March . Apart from our having to complain that the food was cold. My wife found two long pieces of string in the chicken noodle soup. At the end of the evening the waitress asked if everything was alright although she knew it was not. Don't bother going to Kaifeng

We were very disappointed by the food at this Kosher Chinese restaurant. The decor is very nice and the staff are friendly and attentive with the waiting staff wearing beautiful traditional dress. The food however was appallingly bad and extremely expensive.Egg fried rice was £7, a very small portion, it was cold and tasted bland.The chicken was not cooked properly, and bizarrely for a kosher restaurant, several pieces had blood on them - the first rule of kosher meat is that it must not contain blood! The meat was also covered in slimy grease, and again, it was a very small portion considering the price was in the region of £16 for a main course dish with no sides included. I don't recommend this restaurant at all, and I can't believe they are able to get away with charging such high prices for such mediocre food.Avoid.

Went there for a dinner, 9pm and asked if it was still open, they said yes. We sat at the table and they came straight away asking for ordering drinks and food. They seemed being in rush..we were having the starter and they asked us if the could bring the mains. Still with the mains at the table they asked if we had done as they wanted to clear the table. Once taken the plates we were still sitting and they removed the clothes from the table, I was totally surprised. The bill: £83 for 2 starters 2 main one beer one juice and 15% service wow. We asked for the service to be removed and they didn't want, the boss came saying that it was written in the menu so it was to be paid. We told him that by laws the service is optional and the old man started insulting us. I still can't believe that, a really unpleasant dinner. Expansive for some food that I can find for 1 forth of the price. Not recommended at all.

Friendly restaurant, with consistently excellent food. Kaifeng isn't particularly cheap, but well worth it.

A friendly kosher Chinese restaurant that has been long established and successful. The service is warm and friendly, The food is consistently good. I'll be back before too long.

Where to start....? This old fashioned badly decorated restaurant is from a bygone era of yesteryear. Very unfriendly staff couldn't muster up a smile on the freezing cold night in question. It was I who felt compelled to show manners and to do the greeting and say "good evening". It went downhill from then on. The crushed together tables were laid with nuts and sweet crisps covered in sugar. WHAT??? The stair carpet was torn in places. The menus were grubby, with pages stuck together...shall I continue?The crispy duck for the pancakes was decidedly dry and the plum sauce was a thick sickly sweet gloop. Our friends' food arrived at different times and most of it was cold. Any fillet of fish order came complete with bones and was disgusting. All this for an eye watering bill which was OUTRAGEOUSLY over the top.Everything about it was ghastly and I can say with hand on heart, I will neither recommend nor return. What a rip-off.

Being strictly kosher I am unable to judge how authentic this chinese restaurant is. However I can say the food was, for the most part, delicious. We had a deluxe dinner menu. The crispy duck was very good. The other dishes that followed hard and fast were all attractively served and palatable. Some were very good and others ok. Overall the only criticism I have is that some o the stuff was a little bland (the chicken breast with mango springs to mind. There were no stand out dishes but compared to all the other kosher options in London this is still the best so far for me.

What a disappointment. It was a long time since we had been to Kaifeng as we live out of town. We decided to give it a go as it recently made it into a Sunday Times best restaurant supplement. The food was nothing more than ok. Some of the courses we sent back as they were absolutely disgusting. A lot of the dishes were swimming in MSG. Revolting. Finally, the bill. Wow! A full 15% service on top of an already shockingly overpriced expensive meal. We will never go back.

Kaifeng is in my opinion the best kosher Chinese restaurant in London. However, it is quite expensive. The Sunday lunch buffet is a good option if you'd like to sample a number of their dishes, eat until you pop, but not break the bank. We ordered a table for 8 a few weeks in advance, which was probably a good thing as the restaurant was totally full. They served corn soup, egg rolls, fried crackers, sweet and sour sauce, rice, chow mein, sesame chicken, spiced ribs, sweet and sour lamb and some sort of a beef dish, as well as two types of fried dumplings for dessert-apple and banana. The food was very tasty, although the sweet and sour lamb ( my favourite dish) had even tinier pieces of lamb inside the dough than usual.If I remember correctly, it cost £22 a head, which is very reasonable as its only a few pounds more than one main course would usually cost.All the food is set up on one table, which at times was quite difficult to access due to the number of people in the restaurant. However, you can fill and refill your plate to your hearts desire.The service was excellent. The waitresses came by frequently to remove dirty plates, and to refill water glasses.My only disappointment was that they hadn't included their yummy seaweed on the menu. Guess I'll have to return next time I'm in London.

Ordered a take away for a mini family celebration which we went to collect. We paid an extortionate amount of money for the worst Chinese take away, potentially the worst take away I have ever had. the portions were tiny, the food was really horrible and everyone felt sick. I advise you not to waste your money on this place!

Excellent meal and atmosphere as ever - highly recommended.Good menu variety and a very pleasant environment - perfect for a special occasion and/or business lunch or dinner.

this is still the best chinese restaurant around from the momeny you walk in till the moment one leaves everything is jusy perfect tast dishes presentation freindly staff a nd most important quality and taste of the food its been around for over 30 years

From start to finish, Kaifeng was a delight. The staff was friendly, gracious and seemed to function according to ancient traditions as they explained the menu and served each course. The menu is plentiful, the dishes tasty, generous and the drinks are creative. The egg roles were superb, the ribs were spiced just right and the crispy duck was crisped to perfection. I enjoyed every bite and every minute of this restaurant and look forward to my next visit to London to enjoy my next Kaifeng experience.

I was with family to celebrate a birthday and we came to Kaifeng. The service is impeccable - welcoming, speedy, efficient and occasionally with a big smile too.The food can't be faulted - it's a very good example of a Chinese Restaurant - all of the dishes I tried were very tasty.I especially liked the Crispy Beef and the Sizzling Three Meats.The price isn't cheap though - you expect to pay a premium for kosher food in London but add a little extra on for Kaifeng - it's prices are at the smart end of the spectrum. It was a lovely evening with good company and good food and I recommend Kaifeng to anyone with deep enough pockets.

The food overall was average.The service was shocking!!!! Hair was found on the plate, instead of acting humane, they were soooo rude, no apology was fundamentally given, they were defensive and even denied the hair on the plate. Typically a simple sorry would have dealt with this disgraceful situation, instead they were aggressive, rude, impolite, bad-mannered and disrespectful.I DO NOT RECOMMEND ANYONE GOING TO THIS RESTAURANT.They are significantly over priced; spend YOUR MONEY WISLEY.I have been to 3rd world countries with diseases that serve better food with more hygiene.

Brilliant food, wonderful service five stars plus. Cant get over this place, everything was fresh and extremely tasty. this is the place for Kosher dinning.

A nice kosher Chinese restaurant in this NW London setting. Service was okay as at times it was hard to get attention. The menu was wide a varied and the food was tasty and well prepared. A reasonable wine list. Tables very close together so not for a romantic dinner but great for a meal with family and friends. Yes I would go back

Ok, Yes it's a little bit on the pricey side, (compared to other kosher restaurants nearby) but you get what you pay for. The other places nearby are like glorified cafes. This is a proper higher end restaurant. There is NO other kosher restaurant that comes even close to Kaifeng for tasty food, ambience, quality and most importantly consistency. Food is alway tasty no matter what day of the week and is presented lovely and you don't have to wait forever. The restaurant is tastefully decorated with mahogany and velvet, relaxing not overbearing lighting, and there is beautiful framed oil paintings on the wall. Tables have clean white pressed tablecloths and the whole place simply is inviting. The service and the managers are all lovely. To anyone who may think staff may seem rude as per a couple of previous reviews, you need to understand their chinese sense of humour is slightly different then the English version we are used to. I have Chinese staff myself and I can assure you they are always just trying to make people smile and joke with customers with a little 'chinese style' sarcasm that maybe doesn't always pull off perfectly, but they do try to please, and they certainly don't actually mean to be rude at all. Service is excellent, even when busy. They run to fill your glasses when empty, they hand you clean napkins when they sense you need it, and they even jump over to give you a new chopstick when they see you drop a chopstick accidently on the floor. Tell me of another kosher restaurant in London that even changes your tablecloth in between courses? Only at Kaifeng... Now I'm not saying one must always go and sit down in the restaurant for a long meal every week when they fancy kosher Chinese - that I reserve for special occasions, But luckily their takeaway/delivery menu is just as good, with reasonable sized portions, slightly lower pricing then a sit down evening dinner, and they always seem to get my orders ready in 20 minutes and have always so far got it right. Never had a mistake in the takeaway or delivery. All in all, I highly recommend going to the restaurant when you need some pampering or wish to have a good night out with the wife or with friends and family, (and have the time to relax and enjoy), but I also recomend the takeaway or delivery service when you want yummy Chinese kosher food delivered relatively quickly to your door or for a quick pick up without a long wait if your passing by Hendon. You may even be offered a glass of whiskey by the manager while you wait... All in all perfect and I always pop in when in London which is multiple times per year.

Excellent quality chinese resaurant in Hendon. Very good service and nice atmosphere. Wide variety of menue and lots to choose from.

I attended Kaifeng today to meet friends who were celebrating a birthday by having the lunchtime buffet. Without wanting to eat, I ordered a soft drink, whilst the other members of our party had the buffet. On receiving the bill, Kaifeng had charged me for the buffet, despite having a drink. Having denied eating, I was told by the server "the manager saw you eat" - a completely fabricated claim. Having approached the manager (her name was Kay or Kate), she said "I charged you for eating because I saw you eat", a falsehood which was denied by every member of the party too. I told her that I hadn't and that I simply ordered a soft drink and she screamed "liar". Not only was this false accusation incredibly offensive, it was embarrassing and something you don't expect to hear from the manager. I asked her to show me on CCTV proof I had eaten or to call a server over who she now claimed saw me eat. Eventually she stood down and said "it's your fault for not telling us when you entered the restaurant that you weren't eating". Is that not the job of the server? To inquire if every customer is eating? Apologies for the long message and thank you for reading. I don't expect anything to be done about her attitude/customer service but the party was ruined and none of us will be returning to the restaurant. Simply a disgusting customer service and to accuse a customer of lying, is a new low.

Went to Kaifeng's Chinese New Year banquet last night. Food delicious. Presentation great. Staff friendly and efficient. Very interesting menu. Thank you Kaifeng for making my birthday celebration so enjoyable.

Enough is enough I'm afraid. Although the the service was great, and the food is ok,bwhere do the prices come from? It's actually bordering on offensive! I eat out most days, and have been to Londons most expensive... This is a joke price wise.

I love Kaifeng so to see it less good than it was feels almost personal. But it simply isn't what it once was: we had to send a main course back as it was under-cooked and gristly; the food seems more oily and saltier; and there's simply less meat in the meat dishes.Sadly it feels like they're either trying to cut back without raising prices (already high) further and/or there's a new chef who's struggling to source and cook as well as the old one.Service is still good and the crispy duck wonderful and the place has a gentle ambience which we still find soothing. My last review hoped Kaifeng would quickly rediscover its sparkle, but on this showing I'm afraid it still has a way to go.

I went with my husband and toddler for a family birthday lunch. The buffet was not topped up at all and the food was very oily. I opted for the vegetarian set menu but asked as I am thrthe only vegetarian if I could order it for one...There were 5 other adults ordering other menu's. I got a flat out rude NO! Not an accommodating manager who was very rude.....very overpriced food. My sister said she would order the vegetarian menu with me....they add 15% service and charge for tap water! Realised what I had was £34 and so not worth it! I love Chinese food and thought that even though it's a Kosher restaurant as a veggie it'll be fine.....Unfortunately it was not! I wouldn't recommend going unless you are strictly kosher.....a real disappointment. But they have their demographic with virtually no competition in London so doubt they'd be bothered with my poor review!

A nice place, very nice people and decor. High prices and very oily food. From the ease of the other clients, seems like its been a family tradition for many people for many years. So they don't really have to perform to keep their customers. Too bad.

We love Kaifeng so to drop it a couple of stars in my review is a disappointment for us. But when we went for one of its famous Sunday buffet lunches it had lost some of its quality and I have to reflect on how it is, not how we'd have liked it to be.The buffet is well priced and all you can eat, and the food used to be top notch and seemingly endless. Neither is true any more: the beef was still very good but everything else was gristly and the wait times to refill the buffet long. There were insufficient noodles and vegetables and the choice of main course was much reduced. Desserts were still toffee banana and toffee apple but the cases were soft and they simply weren't great. It wasn't bad, but it was nowhere near its previous high standards and when a place has been at the top of its game for so long, slips show. Right now I'd hesitate to recommend Kaifeng as it's a premium priced proposition where for the first time ever the food doesn't live up to the billing, at least for Sunday buffet lunch. I really hope they rediscover their magic as until that Sunday this had been my favourite kosher restaurant in London.

The staff were good & friendly. We had set menu B. Chicken satay was over deep fried to the point there wasn't much chicken left, when it should really be grilled. The beef with Cashew Nuts was very good, four braised vegetables was good but the Chicken in Black Bean sauce wasn't very good it tasted like the chicken & sauce had been cooked separately & the special fried rise was just tasteless! It is an expensive restaurant so when handed the bill with 15% service charge it was the last straw! I asked to have it reduced to 10%, they refused! We won't be going again.

Main courses not enough for the price for two people . Decor very lavish and waitresses all in uniform. Lunch is help yourself but they put on 15% service to help yourself. What a disgrace?

This was a terrible experience: poor quality food, prepared without care, miniscule portions, gruff service as if they were doing you a favour. And all that for extortionate prices! For good Kosher Chinese there are indeed very few alternatives but please stay home (or try Me Tsu Yan for Kosher Chinese in London) instead of coming here. Complete rip off - stay away!
