Mama Li in City of London, Westminster

Good place to have authentic HK roast meat rice fix 👍

This place has good Asian food. I had my first bubble tea here and it was good! Well lighted, cosy atmosphere. There's not a lot of room but you don't feel cramped. The service was pretty quick and staff were friendly.

It's cheep eats for the area, but a tad basic. The flavors could pop more. They offer a single small sause. I bought the classic three meats with rice. It's very clean, and updated. Pretty quick turn around from kiosk order to pickup.

Very delicious. Very good services.

It's not horrible, but £14 for char siu and roast pork rice (+ extra vegetables) of this quality is a rip off. Would've been cheaper and much better to take the tube to Chinatown. I will grant its convenience though, especially for city workers.

Been recommended to me a few times but never been able to pop in until today. Really quick service for a Saturday afternoon, from placing order on the self service kiosk to having my food ready to take away 6 minutes. And what amazing food it was, absolutely superb crispy and BBQ pork, rice that wasn't stodgy and the chicken chow mein was one of the best chow meins I think I've ever had. Will definitely be back

Order for delivery and it was quick. The food is very delicious. We got the 3 meat combo. The crispy pork is our favorite. Highly recommend.

Super delicious! After reading the review, I ordered the fried chicken, and I ordered the three-piece dish. I made sure to add a portion of ginger and scallion sauce because the seasoning was so delicious. It was just like the one I had in the high school cafeteria. I have been thinking about it for ten years. The roast duck is also delicious. The crispy roast pork is usually pure fat. The portion was not as huge as the reviews said, and I, a girl, just finished it all and felt comfortable. Hong Kong milk tea is usually just tea bags and milk, which is not as delicious as other Hong Kong restaurants. I went to the airport happily and full. I’ll eat there again next time I come to London.

Tasty food in a big portion, a bit expensive though. The interior felt a bit cold and there was no bathroom.

Came last time and had a wonderful lunch. We ordered the fried beef ho fun and singapore fried noodles, which was very nice. Would come back just for it. Recommended!

Yangzhou fried rice is too salty

They offer a range of street-food style fast food of very decent quality. The bbp pork tastes very close to the authentic version although the texture is not as tender. The roast duck seems quite mediocre. Service is fast if you avoid peak lunch time. One of my favourite lunch spots for a quick but satisfying bite.

I have to take back my 5 stars now, used to order every week but this time the quality and taste has changed for the worse. Certainly won’t order again sadly.

Friendly and fast service - ordered the two meat combo being roast duck and crispy pork. Roast duck was good with the marinate well done and fragrant. Crispy pork was quite a bit fat in proportion but skin was crispy. Overall portion is really large. Also ordered the wonton soup, while it is quite a generous filling of pork and prawn, it was pre-blanched so gets a bit mushy with the wonton pastry, just about it hold its shape. Still a good meal overall and comfortable seating area. Will go again. Suggestions for improvement to blanch the wontons fresh to order and to keep an eye on the seating area to clear out unused packaging and table cleaning. 10/10 for maximising recyclable packaging and utensils.

I just happened to try this barbecue restaurant nearby, and there was no chance of having a seat while having a meal. Onion and ginger lovers say that this dip goes perfectly with fried chicken. It is delicious, healthy and full of protein. The three-part meat and vegetable set of roasted pork is quite suitable for office workers, but the skin and roasted meat of the roasted duck will be fatter, and the fat will be stronger. Friends who can eat a little fat can try it. The barbecued pork is ruddy in color and lean but not woody.

Delicious meats (especially duck, and crispy pork), big portions of rice and good atmosphere and service. I ordered at the machine which I liked and sat at one of the booths in the back and the restaurant wasn’t busy on a Monday night. You get a nice ginger sauce, and a soy sauce with the meals, and they have chilli oil as well. I’m not sure of other restaurants in the city of London area where you can get these foods at this price point (other than Keu and three Uncles) so it’s a 5/5 stars from me.

The food is tasty. But both tables ant the back are greasy and sticky like there were glue on the table.

Set menu with triple meat and dumplings is a LOT of food! Normal meal without starter should be perfect for most. The roast duck, pork and chicken are all delicious and based on quality of food worth the price. But it’s priced for the area. Best for people working in the area rather than travelling here specifically for Cantonese roast meats.

So fresh, reasonably priced, quick service. It's not a proper restaurant or café, but does have a few seating options, so we were lucky to grab a table. We ordered 4 dishes between two of us, and took the leftovers home, which was perfect! If I lived in London, I'd be back here every week! Pay by cash if you can, they do a 10% discount.

I had a roast duck lunch box with rice and a bit of Chinese cabbage. The duck was excellent and came with a delicious sauce. Would go again for both the duck and to try the soy chicken. Bring cash if possible. Quick service despite 10 or so people ahead of me in queue.

🙃quite messy. Gave me the wrong order

Delicious Chinese food and roast meats, definitely better than some of the recommended places in Chinatown

First time trying this place after reading good reviews. I ordered their roast duck rice and their new Hong Kong milk tea. The roast duck rice was pretty good, but I had to ask them to give me another plate as the first plate's roast duck skin looked burnt. They did offer to give me a new one promptly after I pointed it out. The portion size is good. We had to wait for the milk tea as it wasn't ready. The tea was too strong for me and my friend. If you like really really strong tea then you would like it. I marked it down one star for the tea and also it was very cold inside!

It is totally not Hong Kong-style siu mei. We had char siu (BBQ pork) and roasted duck today but discovered that it is absolutely not Hong Kong-styled flavour. Moreover, the meat of char siu is too soft that it is a bit strange. The rice is wet and some of them are gelled together. You will be disappointed and need to adjust your expectation if you want to eat Hong Kong-style siu mei. Besides, Singapore fried noodle is not the style of what we have in Hong Kong, it is just a fried noodle with curry flavour.

I've had the 3 meat combo several times. It's always been nice. The crispy pork belly has a nice crisp as long as you get it freshly otherwise if ordered from an app, it usually arrives chewy if taken more then 30 minutes. Soy chicken and bbq pork is good but don't bother with the duck as it's not worth it. There's always hardly any meat and IMO not worth it. One thing I always find wrong is the rice. It's always too hard as cooked with not enough water often leading to indigestion so I no longer eat the rice so I'm left with not a lot of satisfaction. Service is OK, quickly made food and you use a self service machine so not a lot of interaction. Environment is nice.

Great roast meats rice, cha siu is especially good. Noodles are good too

Great lunch place for authentic Cantonese!

The Pearl Milk Tea was average.

Pricey but worth it. Quick service.

Had Soy Chicken and Roasted Pork rice Combo for dinner. The portion was quite a bit for one person as the price!!! Also quite efficient on dishing out so definitely recommend as a lunch place.

Best BBQ pork I have had outside of Hong Kong. Good music, service and atmosphere as well!

Great cantonese roast meats. One of the best I have ever tried, and I am from Hong Kong!

Really popular noodle place and long queues. Food is tasty and they have a nice vegetarian selections. Will go again!

Awesome. The best Chinese roast meat in London. So glad they opened a new place

Very tasty, very clean, worth value for money and fast service

If I could rate the customer service 0 I would. I'm a delivery rider and went in to collect an order, with a smile on my face and with a hello, how are you? What I got back was Go other there, with no friendliness at all, when I questioned her about her customer service she said I can't collect the order which is fine by me as I got one straight after. What restaurants need to really understand is that we are delivering YOUR food to YOUR customers, so at least treat us with just the slightest bit of respect.

Fantastic roast meat meal, just like Hong Kong or Chinatown! Have recommended this place to all visiting colleagues to the office!

Probably the best Cantonese meal I’ve ever had. Got 3 dishes to share and they were outstanding, and all equally big portions. I’ll definitely come back! Such a gem 😍

Legit! Definitely one of the best places i’ve eaten at in London. I’ve been ordering since I got here. The Mandarin spare ribs are a must try as well as the Roast Duck!

First Visit and will definitely be back! Phenomenal value for money and delicious food! Outstanding!

I order regularly here from delivery or in store and it never fails to disappoint. The three meat combo is not short of perfection, incredibly tender and juicy.

My husband and I ordered the roast duck + BBQ pork rice combo and beef brisket lo mein. One of the worst meal we had in a while. Honestly, it was so bad we nearly touched it.

Super good and succulent Cantonese roast meat. Really nice and relaxed atmosphere :)

food was so so good and came so fast

This is British food and that's the worst insult a person can throw at food. The chicken's completely falvourless and way-overcooked. It had a rubbery texture and had basically been boiled in nothing but water.

Had the 2-meat + rice combo. The chicken and duck were delicious. The portion can be too large for travellers with a smaller appetite. I will come again!

Great food - easy way to order and I only had to wait a couple of minutes until my order was ready.

As a Hong Konger myself, I can certify that the siu mei here is ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I especially love ordering soy chicken & duck - and the portion is enough. I'm so glad to have found this restaurant away from home ❤️

Super delicious 😋The meat is rich and juicy. The staff are so friendly.

Chanced upon Mama Li and tried it. Hassle free ordering system and we thoroughly enjoyed our 2 meat combo x 2 pax. The duck, soy sauce chicken, charsiew and roasted pork were all great. Even my picky husband gave praises!

My favourite place for lunch…like being in Hong Kong

Nice takeaway Cantonese meat place near tower bridge, good modern screens to order on and wait for your food. The meat wasn't as good as I had in Hong Kong but was still good. The duck was my favourite, and also the ginger and garlic sauce is a must have on the side.

Best Cantonese roast in London!

Absolutely terrible!!!! Missing part of the order (egg fried rice) and what did arrive was stone cold, like it was just thawed. Disgusting! Conveniently, when you try to call the restaurant, it's a mobile number that's switched off. Absolute trash!!!!

Barbecued pork is super delicious

Egg fried rice was very tasty and so was the prawn cracker.

Had a late lunch here and wasn’t crowded but the food was good, esp the roast duck with BBQ meat

Great atmosphere, great food! Had the duck and it was delicious

I love how crispy the pork and duck. Milk tea is fine too. I must try restaurant

Been a long time since I've been looking for 3-meat combo in London, and finally I found one. The food is so great and good value for money. i enjoyed the crispy pork belly, pork bbq and soy duck. I'll definitely comeback for sure!

Service was quick, food was great, and will come back soon. Thank you

Really enjoyed my lunch break here, lovely Cantonese roast and rice combo dishes!

The best roast duck and crispy pork I’ve had in a while. The drinks and service were immaculate too. Definitely will be back again Thankyou mama li

Really good takeaway food specially for an end of the day and don't wanna cook at home.

Simply the best! I eat here like everg week.

Very good food and nice service provided. Would definitely recommend my friend to grab lunch over here

yum yum yum hit the absolute spot as a hungover feed

You know the place is good when there is tons of delivery driver outside the store. Small modern Chinese restaurant that was recommended by my friend. Food was great and will definitely come back again. Saw the chef flame touch the meat to give it the crispy outer skin.

Great place to have Chinese cuisine with good pricing..So much better than those in Chinatown. Staff is super friendly as well.

Fresh take on classic Cantonese roast. Tastes great. The pork is nice and crispy. CP很高

Love this place! Really authentic roast meats

Better than 3 Uncles? You have to try both and compare. For me they are both very good. Friendly staff

Lovely place with quickly prepared and tasty food!

Great place and food is amazing

One of the best options around central London

Great comfort food! Although lacking vegetarian options!

Great place if you're craving Hong Kong roast meats!

We love Mama Li’s, the food is amazing and the staff are all so friendly. Would highly recommend ☺️

Very authentic and flavoury meal I’ve had in London! The portion is huge too. Will definitely come again

Perfect place to grab lunch, Duck is Out of this World 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Excellent staff member really polite

Awesome . The food is very nice. Hong Kong style.

Wednesday Afternoon, The crispy pork is really crispy!

Chinese restaurant offering a good selection of dishes - saw a lot of takeouts while waiting for my order. 💳 they unfortunately don’t take amex, but do take cash though there’s clearly a lack of change since it’s not often used Portion was okay, we were rather full so it didn’t feel like it wasn’t sufficient - but if I’m going for a normal meal it might not be enough. There were also 5-6 prawns that came with the meal, fairly fresh to me. Fuss free and quick service, will consider returning in future for our Chinese meal fix.

nice food friendly people clean environment

Never had a bad meal from Mama Li. Absolutely amazing barbecue pork and their bubble teas are just what I need for a pick me up.

Wonderful ambience and reasonably priced food, which was lovely ♡

Nice location. Cozy place to eat in. Easy to order by machine. One of the best places to have BBQ pork and crispy pork, some snack, and hot tea 👍✨

As a regular, I cannot fault the food quality and customer service from cheerful and friendly staff.

Cozy place, good food, overall 10/10 ☺️☺️

Amazing Cantonese food ! Best address for lunch

The best in town! So efficient with the ordering and the staff are the best. Treat yoself!

Great place for cantonese style food. Highly recommended, and my go-to place when I want a good meal that reminds me of Hong Kong near to work!

Very good food and good Hongkong style milk tea. Enjoyed it very much

i remembered stumbling upon this spot when i was on the lookout for lunch nearby my office. suffice to say, this has become my go-to spot for their succulent roast pork belly and chicken rice, all for a reasonable price with huge portions. i always come here whenever im missing a bit of home (it most definitely resembles in taste!!), and it never fails to bring a smile to me :) highly highly recommend 🤍 *ps my work colleagues know about my obsession with this place

Nice place. Very clean. Staff are very friendly. I had to 3 meat rice combo, and it tasted amazing! Will definitely visit again!

The roast is delicious and cheap for the quality! Very clean inside and the staff are very friendly. Definitely recommended if you're in the area!

Mama Li’s does reasonable Cantonese/Hong Kong style roast meat and rice dishes. It certainly scratches the roast meats itch but compared to Three Uncles, in my opinion, Mama Li somehow manages to be very reliably and consistently average, at a similar price. The crispy pork especially, compared to Three Uncles, is not as satisfying - sometimes it’s more chewy than crispy. In the photos of past meals from here, the braised pork was the best - tender and tasty. The spare ribs were actually six end bits of rib, cheap cuts that are messy to eat and not really worth the price paid. The pork and rice meal is okay. Well, the food quality wouldn’t matter too much, since the service is pretty good there and it’s nice and clean inside. But another problem I have with this branch of Mama Li’s is that they have a sign inside offering customers a free tote bag for leaving a five star review. These kinds of incentives skew the ratings that a business gets and I would say that they are unethical. It greatly diminishes trust in the online review system and is kind of insulting to potential customers. Another issue is that they only have one bin which means any recyclable packaging they use is wasted effort unless you take it home with you to recycle.

Lovely staff and my tea was perfect

Extremely mediocre take-out for a rip-off price. Avoid.
