Just stay home and order. Bang average food at exceptional prices. I expect more for this price range from other restaurants in this area and more central London. The wine list was quite odd - the option of a small glass or full bottle - disappointing if you’re the only one in the group drinking wine. It feels like an up-market restaurant on entry, but the toilets are as filthy as a Wetherspoons, so I wouldn’t visit again. The waiter also asked if we fancied desserts, but that was shortly followed by him suggesting we’d eaten enough food. I’d suggest avoiding and heading down the tube to China town for something delicious and much less pretentious.

The food is incredibly tasty. We ordered rice, prawns and won ton. Although the portions are meant to be for one person, you can easily share them with another person and feel full. Good price range. The only downside is that the place is so good and famous that there is always a queue. Highly recommended.

The dining environment of this restaurant is quite good, but the seats are very crowded and it is not too quiet. Overall, the food is quite satisfactory and the food is quite delicious. It goes well with meals. We ordered the sizzling beef, which was a bit sweet. I thought the salt and pepper squid was quite delicious. The squid was considered fresh. Tamago tofu is not bad. There are also shrimps in it. The Yi noodles are quite crispy and delicious. I ordered seafood and roast duck. It seems that the signature is lobster noodles. I want to try it next time, but it seems to be very expensive, but I still want to try it. Overall, it is not bad. The ambiance is decent but quite crowded, so not ideal for a quiet meal. We tried classic Cantonese dishes like Teppanyaki beef (a bit sweet), salt & pepper squid 🦑 (very fresh and crispy), and two E-fu noodles with seafood & roast duck toppings. The unique crispy texture of the noodles paired nicely with the different ingredients, and the shrimp tofu was a pleasant surprise. Overall, worth a try for Cantonese food lovers!

11/11/2024-Monday. I have not been to this restaurant since the pandemic. Today, my husband and I decided to have lobster noodles lunch in here. The quality of the lobster noodles is still the same, excellent standard. Sadly, the severs were a bit downside compared to the previous team. I hope, in the future, the servers focus on customers rather than grouping themselves at the bar counter/chatting among themselves with their back facing to the tables. It is quite difficult to get the server's attention when service is needed. Overall, I still give 5 star rating as I feel the kitchen staff do works very hard. The food that served out was pretty quick. I would still recommend to others if their craving for lobster noodles. Highly recommended for lobster noodle dish ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Restaurant is located near Hyde Park London. It was busy when we got there for dinner but they managed to get us a table. We have the popular ginger lobster noodle, roasted duck, asparagus in broth and hot and sour soup. We were wowed by the very flavourful lobster noodle. Duck was good but I the asparagus was a little bland for me. However I love the well balanced hot and sour soup. Highly recommend to those seeking for authentic Chinese food. The server is attentive and funny. Enjoyed the meal

Great place to have a big family feud dinner! I would advise to book in advance during peak dinner times and they only take telephone bookings as of yet. Been here plenty of times and the food is consistently delicious! You wouldn’t want to come here without ordering the famous lobster noodles with ginger and spring onion which is our family fav, plus the beef ho fun and sesame prawn toast. If you have room for dessert, top it up off with an order of banana fritters with ice cream. Yum! Service is generally polite and dependent on who serves you on the day tbh. The place is a little cramped when it gets busy and you may find yourself brushing a couple of chairs navigating the way to the restroom which is up 2 flights of narrow stairs. It would be great if they could accommodate a disabled friendly toilet downstairs.

Still the traditional Cantonese cuisine Tasty and good portion The disappointed dish - half fried duck Expecting to see half the duck, but they were shredded and served as pekin duck - it have a pekin duck selection, so I was not aware it meant half duck for Pekin Duck 😮‍💨 Review said bad service. We did not experience any of that. All servers were friendly and attentive. They waited for us to complete dishes before delivering the next dishes. Even offered to split the noodles for 4 of us. I will still recommend this restaurant to whoever wishes to have authentic chinese cuisine in London. Recommended to make reservation

The food is very good. But ended on a sour note as they automatically add a service charge (absolutely fair enough) then present you with the card machine and option to pay 4 different amounts of extra tip. I am sure I am not alone in thinking that this is really sharp practice, to the point of devious. Nobody expects to pay two tips and I am pretty sure most people, when presented with the machine, would assume that a service charge has not been added already. I pushed back on it to be told that a lot of people like the maths done for them - true, but not when it has already been done for them. This is just a double dip and brazen attempt to squeeze more out of the bill. Really grubby behaviour Mandarin Kitchen and you know it. Like I say, food very good and all in all a quality restaurant - this sharp practice is below you and should stop.

I went there in an autumn wet day for lunch. Surprisingly, many tables are seated. Thought the ginger lobster noodles is a bit expensive compared to other dishes, it is worth trying. Staff are helpful, and hospitality. We ordered only two dishes, Ginger Lobster Noodles and Drunken Chicken, with a bowl of steamed rice. That is sufficient for a couple.

Called 1pm asking if they had crab that day. Mandarin kitchen answered on phone, "have fresh crab everyday". Perfect, we booked with him there and then for 630pm. Turn up with my good friend really looking forward to the crab. Sit down order Peking duck and Crab (yes, not small order for 2 of us). 15min come back : No crab. What. Complain. Sorry, no crab. Explained booked asking for crab. No crab. (this converation x5). Manager saying not his fault, was stafff fault(!) Eventually offered lobster for same price. Accepted, but wanted crab. I put the review from 1 star to 3 stars despite these painful conversations.

The starters were good (baby squid in salt and chilly, plus asparagus with crashed garlic). BUT we had quite an unpleasant experience with the main course. Fried crab in salty egg was uneatable and tasted awful (over salted, smelled badly). We supposed to have sea food noodles. The dish was full of unpleasant liquid which looked like vomit and no noodles inside. We had to return both main courses. Our waitrose was helpful and cancelled both dishes.

This used to be our favorite for Crispy duck and lobster. So sad to see how far they have dropped. The duck was pre shredded , cold and tasteless (used to be fresh off the bone at table steaming hot). It was plopped down like a dish of dog food ( server used to roll a few pancakes with spoons- amazing) The lobster in ginger sauce - again not streaming hot and the sauce was quite bland. The two Chinese businessmen at the table next to us were served their noodles and lobster but for us - again plopped down. So they clearly don’t want you here if you are not Chinese and there is nothing special about the food at all. It’s in a bad area so I see no reason to come back. We are on a search for a great Chinese in London. Too bad about this one.

If you're a big eater, this restaurant might not be the best choice. A couple over 50 years old was charged nearly £16 for white rice by a young Chinese waitress. Interestingly, the female customer had a very small appetite. The restaurant explained that they ordered four bowls of rice, each priced at £3.90, and with the service charge included, the total spent on rice would actually exceed £17. I probably ate about 12 or 13 pounds worth of rice, which is a personal record . In my entire life, I've never spent that much on a single meal of plain white rice. At this restaurant in London, I set a new record. The overall quality of Chinese cuisine in London has room for improvement. If you have a big appetite, this restaurant is not a good choice. A couple over 50 years old was charged nearly 16 pounds for white rice by a young Chinese waitress. The female customer's appetite was very small. The reason explained by the hotel was that the rice the two wanted was 4 bowls of rice, and each bowl cost 3.90 pounds. Including service charges, the money spent on rice should be more than 17 pounds. Of this, I ate about twelve or thirteen pounds, and I have never eaten a meal of twelve or thirteen pounds of white rice in my life. At this restaurant in London, I set a record. The overall standard of Chinese food in London needs to be improved.

Went with my eight year old son (who is fussy) and my cousin. We ordered aromatic duck and pancakes and vegetable chow mien, always going to be a winner with a fussy child! As I'd read so much about the seafood I insisted that we order the soft shell crab and it was amazing! We shared one but could have just had a couple of those each, it was so good. We were served by a lovely gentleman in a blue shirt (I think the manager) who was very friendly and polite enough to give us time to explain some of the dishes on the menu even though it was very busy. We had a lovely evening, great food with generous portions and lovely service and I will definitely return to try some more of the seafood dishes. *Also, when I booked, we were told we had the table for an hour and a half to fit other reservations (which is pretty standard - restaurants need to turn tables to make money), but to be honest I have no idea what time we left! I don't know if we stayed later or left on time or earlier, the point is we didn't feel rushed at all.

Buena cocina china, muy amplia carta. Es famoso por sus platos con mariscos y langosta. Buena cantidad de comida, solo encontramos un poco de falta de sal, que se compensa pidiendo salsa de soya. Nos gustó mucho. Precio razonable (para lo que cobran en los restaurantes londinenses). Comimos 3 personas, 3 platos más un arroz y un plato de noodles, muy buenos. Recomendable el plato de porotos verdes (muy crocantes) con cerdo, Más una cerveza, un agua sin gas y un te helado, total 87 libras. Cuidado que hay algunos platos que valen sobre las 35 libras. Muy buena relación precio/ calidad-cantidad. La atención es un poco fría (puede ser que el personal es chino y usa además mascarillas) Muy recomendable; si vuelvo a Londres, iré de nuevo

I grew up in Bayswater and we always had a good meal here. Yesterday was the worst meal and experience. Both bothers who run the restaurant are always pleasant and friendly to chat with, one of the brothers was in the restaurant. The crispy duck was dry and they didn’t shred it in front of us? It tasted like it had been microwaved as it was dry and not crispy, we also ordered the sizzling chicken but it didn’t come out sizzling and the chicken was chewy. No interaction from the staff, usually your asked if everything is ok with your food, we went asked once. I asked the owner to remove the service charge of 12.5% all he said was “why” no “oh what’s wrong” we will never return here and will inform all family and friends. We have spent many nights here with family and it’s a shame the attitude of the owner was the always was. Everyone has a bad day, but don’t bring it to work if gays the case this is hospitality industry.

Terrible service. The worst in London. The reception talked so blunt and no smile, no courtesy at all. They said we can only have the table for 1.5 hours. Given the time limit, it’s disappointing that when we sat down, no one came to take the order. The service of the waitress standing at the back of the restaurant with a pony tail and a mouth mask on was HORRIBLE and the RUDEST I have ever seen in the UK. When I asked her to come to take the order, she pretended that she didn’t see me. We were sitting there for ages until she finally came to take the order. Her attitude was terrible and gave us a fierce and arrogant look saying that she had to serve other tables first. After that, she said some vulgar words in Mandarin including the word “death” under her mask with her disdaining look and tutted many times. How mannerless! We ordered lobster noodles and oyster omelette. The food was okay. Noodles were good but the oyster omelettes were just so-so. Not crispy and nothing close to authentic one. The environment was so noisy and the tables were so close. Didn’t feel comfortable to talk. The rude waitress was standing next to us during dinner and glaring at people in a cocky manner. Very sick of that attitude. When we paid the bill, that waitress did not say thank you but just left. I really hope she knows we paid the service fee and she should respect her work and not to show such attitude to her customers. That’s unacceptable. She should learn how to behave. The place doesn’t deserve the hype. That waitress ruined the experience and the restaurant’s reputation. Do not recommend.

If you are looking for a genuine Chinese food experience then look no further than Mandarin Kitchen. The hustle and bustle of a busy Chinese restaurant adds to the experience. No airs and graces just good food, service and atmosphere. We dined like emperors. Two of us took down half a roasted duck, half a drunken chicken, fried prawns in egg yolk, lobster over soft noodles and morning glory. The menu is extensive but looking around at what others were being served suggests everything was as good as that we ate. We finished with toffee apple and ice cream. That was nice but my only ask would be a few more Asian choices such as mango sago pudding! The service is attentive and the food flew out of the kitchen piping hot and perfectly cooked. That said, we were not rushed and having been seated at 7pm, left happy and full just before 11pm. Located just across the road from Queensway on the Central Line makes this an essay get to and from for those in London. The bill came to £90 each, which is arguably on the tad expensive side although given the amount of food we are would normally have fed four it was pretty reasonable! Happy eating. I’m definitely returning!

The waiters are rude & entitled. They do not understand that service charge is not compulsory and they will hound you like a dog if you don’t pay it. We decided not to pay it because the service wasn’t up to scratch. We still spent just over £150 on a meal just for the 2 of us. It’s only a matter of time before this place gets exposed. The food is very average for the prices and the entitlement from the staff. I would of understood if the food was amazing but it’s very mediocre. Nothing special.

A popular restaurant famous for its lobster noodles. If you want to be sure to get in, I think you need to make a reservation. I ordered lobster noodles, spring rolls, Fujian fried rice, and wonton soup. The lobster noodles were said to be at the market price, but I came here wanting to eat them, so of course I ordered them. When I tried it, it was delicious, but I was not impressed, probably because I had high expectations after hearing that it was delicious. Looking at the bill, the price for that day was 52 pounds of lobster and 10 pounds of soft noodles, making it 62 pounds. Personally, I get the impression that it tastes like this for 62 pounds. The other spring rolls, wonton soup, and Fujian fried rice were better than the lobster noodles. Although tips are taken well, the service from the staff is not very good. If I were to come to this restaurant again, I would never order lobster noodles again.

Lunch of lobster noodles, Kai Lan and Scallops with Asparagus was ok. The latter were small and rather salty. Downfall is the 'Toilet facilities were up 2 short flights of some narrow stairs. And although there were 3 separate cubicles, 2 were for women and 1 for men; all within 1 tiny space with 2 shared hand washing basins! Not good in the first place for 'Disabled customers'! Secondly, should have completely separate facilities for female and male customers! Especially if you have young children!

Used to go before Covid. Food was delicious. 6/6/67 went again. Very disappointed. The worst thing was the service. The shop owner is very arrogant.

The chicken was over fried. Much too dry. The egg was over steamed. It was not covered. This is so disappointing since we have always enjoyed the food here. Think the chef has changed. So sad.

We ordered Ginger Lemon Chicken, Sweet and Sour Chicken and grilled vegetables. The lemon was very strong, but good. The chicken was not breaded and really soaked up the sauce. Service was adequate, ambiance was minimal.

This time I stopped by to eat at this restaurant. Follow the elders in the group. Very delicious. Chinese food style. It is recommended that you call to make a reservation in advance. You won't have to wait in line. The food is delicious and the price is reasonable.

Still our favourite Chinese restaurant in London after 30 years. We go every single time we are in London. The consistency of quality is the hallmark of a culinary institution. Today was no exception. Bravo Alex and team

Famous old Cantonese restaurant specialising in seafood. Unfortunately the service is as classic old style Cantonese as the food. Off hand, sullen, attempts to charge you for things you didn’t order, arguments when you have the temerity to insist on paying for them what you ordered alone. Totally ruined my mother’s 86th birthday by trying to charge us for £10 for noodles we didn’t ask for. They became truly demented when, as a result of their rudeness and initial insistence it was all our fault, I refused to pay the service charge as well. Avoid.

Don’t know why this restaurant is so popular. Mediocre food and service. I think easily can get from China town. The duck was recommended and it’s super “dry”. Clams was a bit overcook and the large prawn is nothing special too. The lobster noodles is the best among all as the meat is tender and sweet. Won’t be coming back for sure.

Found this place near our hotel. The menu looked good and the place was packed, which is always a good sign. They could not seat us inside but had a table outside with good heat lamps. We ordered the scallops with asparagus and sweet and sour fried prawns and fresh stir fried broccoli with fresh ginger and white rice. Everything came out quite quickly and was absolutely delicious! The best part was the vegetables, broccoli and asparagus were cooked perfectly. Just enough to be done but not too raw or hard. It is difficult to find vegetables cooked like that. I highly recommend this restaurant with great food and good service.

Was on the line waiting to be attended to, skipped me to attend to the white guy instead. Addressed it quickly with them like what is wrong with you people I've been waiting for sometime, and you see a white dude behind going to attend to him first, they apologised and attended to me. Besides that the food was amazing.

I was looking for a place nearby for dinner and read that the place was good for lobster noodles. Stood at the door, the staff walked past but none really bothered to receive. After a while, one decided to show us in, waited awhile for one to take orders as none seemed to be interested again, but eventually one took the orders. Lobster noodles met expectations but certain parts can be starchy. The Cantonese roasted duck was honestly awful, felt like it was kept for days and re-fried again. It was very disappointing but nobody really care, nobody asked. sorry but won’t recommend dine in due to poor service quality. Ginger lobster noodles good for take away though if you feel like pampering yourself.

Great chinese restaurant I would say 80% Asian customers on the night we visited. They seem to have a signature dish (Lobster) that most tables were having however we did'nt know about it, most likely better for 4 people. They have 2 sittings on the night we were there so had to out by 8:30. Vast menu. You would need to book at the weekends. Well worth a visit.

Our server was lovely but the overall experience was very bad. They hadn't turned the taps on in the bathroom so I couldn't wash my hands and had to find someone to activate them. The front doors were left wide open so the entire restaurant was freezing. Our nachos came out ice cold and I had to send my mac and cheese back as it tasted terrible. I don't normally do that or write bad reviews but this was an exception.

The food here is very tasty. The steaks can either be cooked medium or rare and you get two servings of your plate. The restaurant is very fast paced as it is very crowded and very busy. There is a line, on weekends atleast, that wrap around the building and if you do not line up before opening, you will have to wait around an hour for the first batch to finish their meals. Because the place was very crowded the service was a bit slow. I asked for a knife and it took asking twice to get one. There was also no salt or sauce for my table and we were asked if it was ok to share with the table next to us.

Visited the Duke of York in Victoria after remembrance day. Popped in for a pint and a snack. It’s got to be the worst food I’ve ever tasted. The staff were very unpolite and rude. You can tell this is a tourist spot. No consideration of customer service, had to ask for a full refund on food, response was shaking their heads. I asked for the company details and email. I’ve just found out he’s written down wrong information. Avoid this place….
