Sanbao Chinese Kitchen in Hammersmith and Fulham

expensive and food is not tasty

A few years ago I wrote very authentic and good value. Today I am writing that the mixed seafood gave me a funny tummy.

Very authentic Chinese food, the barbecue is also good, Hammersmith makes a good choice.

Amazing. Very friendly staff and my wife was able to ask and speak to the lady in Chinese which made her ordering her meal a lot better. When we visit London again we will definitely visit here again😀

Don't go if you're British you are not welcome only Chinese people are welcome

AWFUL in everyway. Bad service, bad food (no taste at all), bad portion sizes...bad prices. Service charge added too! An awful place

Sanbao is my go-to for chicken chow mein in Hammersmith. The food is good fast and fresh. Can't recommend enough.

One of the best Northern style Chinese food in London. Very authentic taste - recommend the skewers (beef tendon is great), pork trotters, pig intestines etc... I have dined both in-store and via Deliveroo, and the quality and portions are consistently good. Karaoke is also a great experience for group parties. I would say to ignore the 1* reviews from people who order from the 'basic' menu 👀 I think if they ate at a restaurant in China they cannot appreciate the authentic taste. For them I recommend standard UK-style takeaways which have modified Chinese dishes to match western tastes. Sanbao kitchen is for those who are looking for truly Northern Chinese food experience. Highly recommend!

It’s delicious. The food is very authentic. You can also sing karaoke downstairs. This is a restaurant that I will definitely take my friends to when they come to visit me from China. I even have friends who flew over from Taiwan to eat here.

Great Chinese restaurant in a convenient location between Hammersmith and Ravenscourt Park. I particularly enjoy their gedatang (dough drop soup), koushuiji (chilli oil chicken) and BBQ lamb skewers. Can get a little noisy and busy if the karaoke room is in use for a party, but overall a very pleasant atmosphere.

My friends and I had karaoke night at Sanbao and it was extremely fun! The song selection was decent and the service was quite good. I thought the chives pancake and seafood chow mein were very average. The price was reasonable at £40 for two people. I would go again as the karaoke was so much fun.

Found an eyelash in my food🤢, staff didn’t have a clue half the time what we were saying. Service was appalling, atmosphere SHOCKING, food was just about ok but tiny portions my gosh.

Worst chinese food we've ever had!!!The mixed starter was cold and we assume from the day before as it was 17.30h the beggining of their service. My daughter ordered King Prawn Fried Noodles Chow Main but the noodles had a horrible old oil taste and were served with 4 king prawns. She couldn't finish it. My husband ordered egg frie rice with chicken and the chicken was from the supermarket ready boiled(they didn't even fried it). The only dish really cooked and worth eating was mixed sea food and hell it cost £25.90. They use a lot of white onion and very few other vegetables. We were charged £76.05 for 3ppl and left hungry(including £8.90 service chatge). Sorry, never again🫤🫤🫤

Please avoid, tried to rip us off after having a shrimp stir fry with literally four shrimps in there and onion chunks. Poor service and staff not attentive

Worst Chinese meal I’ve ever eaten unfortunately. Prawn crackers were just awful- they had a nasty taste of old oil, I assume because they had been sitting in it all day. The egg fried rice was very bland and the sweet and sour sauce was extremely gelatinous. I know this may have been a bad day for the chefs, but good lord that was horrendous. I’m sure you’re better than that but I highly doubt I will ever give you a second chance.

My favorite Chinese restaurant in London !!!

Absolute rip off £8.90 for literally the smallest chicken chow mein I have seen in my life. Save your money and go elsewhere

The Malaxiangguo was really delicious. It was quite expensive (60 for 2 people) but really tasty! I'd recommend the malaxiangguo and the skewers!

The price was not matched the quality of the food. Two adults and two children cost over £120. The skewers are all same taste with same over salted sauce.The iron pot was Small sized (Used to be bigger size) and frozen prepared food used with a lot of water. We used to be here quite a few times. Very disappointed, not happy with the service and food. So please avoid.

I have NEVER ever eaten such magnificent Chinese food. Originating from North Eastern China, the food is full bodied, spicy and packs a mean chilli punch! The hot beef is just top class! Absolutely top class! Will come here again!

One of the worst Chinese food I have ever tasted in London. Poor quality and tasteless noodles. We ordered prawn stir-fry, there were four prawns in the mix. No other veg apart from onions. We also ordered two soups - chicken and sweetcorn, crab meat soup. Both were not edible. Tasted off and portions were very small. Had a portion of prawn crackers, quite generous portion. They gave us a bag full of but they were soaked in oil. All in all it was a horrible experience. Please avoid at all cost.

The food was terrible, bland, no seasoning at all. 12.5% service charge is crazy when there’s no service at all. Also the bathroom light suddenly switched off

Very poor food. Bland. Stir fried vegetables consisted of a small plate of onions and bean sprouts with two very small pieces of broccoli and two small slices of carrots. Every dish had lots of onions and bean sprouts bulking it up. I would avoid this place.

Good restaurant, transitional Chinese food.

Honest, earnest, proper northeastern Chinese food. The waitress was friendly and attentive, dishes roared off the wok and were with us fresh and hot. Nice subtle heat with the spicing and shout out especially to black fungus with white cabbage, aubergine and fried tripe. Will be coming back :)

Not like as before ,before was delicious , a few days ago been there

Food that makes me feel like I'm in china again!

Brilliant food and quick service. Decent price.

Good food and tasty, enjoyed all food we ordered vegetarian options, tiny nice décor give bit of local Chinese feel with bamboos

I have been coming here for many years. It's aways a hot spot for Chinese students around west London. The food are tasty, the location is great. I really like the roast mutton skewers. After lunch or dinner, you can easily walk to Chiswick along King Street, very relaxing!

Excellent foods. Attentive services. In my opinion is one of the best Szechuan & north east and Chinese cuisine in London. Highly recommended. 永远这么完美！

Found a piece of wire sponge in a dish. Another one pork belly has many black dot on the skin, don’t know why

Great KTV Area downstairs. Unlimited free water and solid food!!

Their food is so tasteless that I haven't eaten worse. We only took a fork from the ordered meal and sent it back. They are disrespectful enough to say "the Chinese like it a lot". Fortunately, there are delicious Chinese restaurants in London.

Great Chinese traditional foods , especially north east Chinese BBQ. Lovely BBQ squids and lamb kebabs.

Authentic Northern style chinese restaurant and they have a karaoke room located in the baseball which can host up to 18 people! (Free I think if you spend £130... easily done here if you have a big group). My gf can speak Manderin, so it was super helpful 😂 but otherwise, you still get the same menu and quality of food. Food is tasty though, but a little pricey, as expected with authentic Chinese places. Also, if people are using the karaoke room, you might hear them singing... very well or plain awful

Sanbao is my absolute comfort food restaurant. They have a smashing Ma La Xiang Guo (iykyk) which I have at least once in two weeks! They also have Korean cold noodles!!!! (It's a chinese establishment but here me out, it's one of the best cold noodles I've had!) Like most chinese establishments in London, service is not their forte but damn do they know how to cook up a beautiful feast! They also serve a huge variety of BBQ skewers. There's also KTV/karaoke rooms in the basement which have a low minimum spend compared to other restaurants.

The food was salty and the owner was extremely unkind, turning us out for not spending enough money (we were 60 pounds each)

Food is awful，dont waste your money.

Never come to this place again. Me and my friends have spent many times dining here and this time we were literally kicked out by the owner of restaurant. He told us to leave in a very rude way because, in his own words, we spent less today compare to the other tables.(Obviously £165 for three people is too little for him) Just be really careful to dine here cuz I sincerely doubt an owner like this can run a good business.

Fried rice was so hard that my jaw got tired after eating half a dish. Dont waste your time and money. The chinese food at the Westfield food hall is much better.

適合聚餐唱歌的好地方，口味偏重但很好吃 只要£130就可以唱歌四小時非常划算

Didn't like the look so went elsewhere

Authentic Chinese northeastern food 一定要吃鲈鱼豆腐一锅出还有韭菜盒子

菜不正宗，一鍋出的排骨不新鮮饅頭也不新鮮，麻婆豆腐的豆腐中間也不新鮮，酸湯牛肉不酸用德國酸菜不對，菜單比外面門口掛的貴，覺得詐騙，建議唱歌點飲料就好！

Only crisps duck and sweet sour chicken were good.. a little bit expensive..

麻辣干鍋還不錯，但毛血旺居然沒有鴨血？ 二訪點了乾煸四季豆，爆香魷魚須都好吃

This is a must for authentic Chinese food. But to access it you must ask for the full menu, and not accept the shorter "English" menu you may be offered. The food is super tasty, big portions, and served quickly.

Position is good and some meals are delicious! Will go back again.

Excellent food, best chinese we've had in london.

1.30pm and not open... Information on this restaurant needs updating by the restaurant i.e. opening hours listed on the actual restaurant are incorrect. Very displeased

“不用点米饭，一锅出是带馒头的，你们吃不了” 三年多第一次又吃到现蒸的呛面馒头，菜量这么实诚的中餐太罕见了 不愧是东北菜 Underrated Chinese restaurant, definitely should pop in if you like authentic Chinese cuisine. Unbelievable Huge portion.

Tasteless food. Extremely poor service. I did not pay the service charge. They add it in the bill by default. Never going back again

quality and taste at a good level, while the portion size is below standard

Authentic Northern Chinese food. This is not your local Chinese cuisine. Portions was generously big, great value for what it is. Tasty food full of flavour. Recommended for spicy food lovers. Also has hotpot, barbecue meats and a'lacarte.

It used to be way better than now.... Avoid it if u can....

Food ok..staff rude and took forever to take the order for drinks and food. No service whatsoever, had to keep asking the waiter which was the boss.

This restaurant is under-rated. Authentic Chinese food with good varieties, not those Chinese takeout with fried rice/noddle which are not real Chinese food. We ordered a Sichuan dish, a Cantonese dish and a northern Chinese dish, all tasted great. Staff were friendly and decent. If you are in the area and enjoy real Chinese food, it’s not to be missed.

The most authentic Chinese food in the area

TERRIBLE CHINESE - AVOID Food was so incredibly bland, lowest quality ingredients and barely any meat veg in fried rice and noodles. Literally ZERO SEASONING. on top of it, they got the order wrong and there was major communication and service issues. Price way too high for the bad food it is. Dont go here even if you're starving its just not worth the money in any way.

Literally just tried to call too reserve a table, the staff who picked up spoke poor English and hung up on me without answering my question

VERY rude guy working In there. I believe he is the manager/owner. No manners whatsoever after waiting over an hour for our food. Would not recommend.

Twice in a week, we have been lied and delayed for dishes we ordered, the worst experience ever, definitely in our black list of Chinese restaurants, anyone wanna go to the restaurant or take away, try to give a second thought….

Very bad experience. Food is average, nothing special, service is bad. You can not imagine we order dish one hour ago, when we chase up, they total had no idea what I did order. They even not start prepare to cook them. Really bad experience with them.

Food is normal , service charge 12.5% with bad service. Worst thing ……. The restaurant smell very bad 🤮

东北疙瘩汤被我喝完了，没拍照。这里任何一项菜品都好吃。不是第一次来了。强烈推荐疙瘩汤和羊肉串。

Loved the flavour of the Chicken fried noodles and the ambience of the place..

Nice food and had a karaoke party inside, very polite staff and responsive. I highly recommend .

Sorry i forgot, totally insipid too.

Worst fried rice with vegetables I've ever had. Oily and virtually No vegetables!

Despite a 30 min wait, Duck came without pancakes or plum sauce, chicken curry had virtually no sauce so was very dry and the rice was lumpy and seemed re heated. Not great

The food was amazing. Definitely recommend here.

BBQ Chuan was super nice!!!!!!love it!!! but too small portion:( However it is really tasty

We found some HAIR in a dish and when we told the staff about the issue they were being extremely rude and disrespectful. ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING🤢🤢 AVOID THIS PLACE!!!

This is what happened with my girlfriend today after eating prawn noodles and she found bits of nuts in the meal!!!!!!no apology or anything!!!!👎👎👎👎

Has a very bad experience today the 17.10.2021.. I found NUTS in my prawns noodles..I phone them straight away and the staff was very rude and told me to come back tomorrow afternoon 1pm..I went back straight away he didn't apologise and was having an argument with me for this..I spent 41 pounds there I told him give me money so I can leave your shop..his behaviour r was very bad and disrespectful. I will be taking this up with health and safety ASAP..I will never ever go there..my sink is all red and swollen ...

I like this place. They are seriously underrated. They deserve much better than the current rating. The food is very authentic.

Food was alright to pricy for my taste and portions are to small

nope not the best place to go, people were lovely but the food wasn't great and nor was the funny smell

週日都有午巿套餐，包主食，汽水和春卷/酸辣湯，食物都好夠熱，似是即叫即做，咕嚕雞球酸度充足，好吃。份量不算多，但性價比高，因為坐得舒服，服務的女生態度很好，很勤快。

I will like to share my experience with take-away meal from Sanbao Chinese Kitchen. The ordering was simple. The deliver time was reasonable. Food arrived was still warm and intact. The Sweet and Sour was good and recommended. Both the Sanbao House Special Fried Rice and Fried Noodles were nice too. The prices were reasonable.

It was ok, a bit greasy could do with more flavour! Nouthing special.

Not big portions but made-up for by great taste

Good experience and Good food. Traditional Chinese atmosphere.

Great food and karaoke room and friendly staff

It was tasty but the lunch menu was a very small portion. I could choose a starter, a main and a drink. I went for the spring rolls which was nice and came 5 pieces, then I chose the pork rib with rice for the main and actually it was served a single rib chopped in 5 tiny pieces accompanied by rice...

Very nice food love this place too much

Not very good poor value for money

High quality Chinese restaurant. I have been here for several time. The food is too nice, I didn’t wasting time in pictures. Luckily I remembered this time.

Possibly the worst Chinese takeaway I’ve ever had. Duck was full on fat, crispy chilli beef tasted of nothing but flour. ‘Chicken in satay sauce’ was flavourless chicken in a gunky watery substance with no hint of satay smothered in undercooked peppers and onions.

I absolutely LOVE Sanbao Chinese kitchen. The food is wicked, plus they have TV screens up showing the culture of food being farmed and made. WONDERFUL.

Must work on customer service skills; the way they looked at the brown man coming in to get some food was something I should have filmed; it was that strange. You smile they don't smile back. Very strange. As for the food it was tasteless but it was clean and the vegetables were fresh. I just wish it had some flavour because it had no salt and no spice; just water, vegetables and noodles.

Lunch special is a ripoff. Food was OK, used the same sauce on pretty much most of the dishes. Friendly staff, smile on their face when they overcharge you. If you want a really good meal go to yoshisushi few doors down, or tosa. Both excellent restaurants

Buscando un chino, terminé en un local de aspecto básico llamado Sanbao Chinese Kitchen, donde el personal era lo suficientemente amable, si no exactamente brindaba el servicio de plata. El tipo que me sirvió estaba perplejo cuando pedí una copa de vino, ya ves que no está incluida en el menú del almuerzo, mientras que podría haber tomado un refresco gratis. Pero pude ver la botella, ¡y me pareció una! (Y sí, confundió lo que dije y al principio me sirvió un vaso de rojo). Luego reparó a un lado, donde sintonizó un partido de fútbol en su computadora portátil: el comentario se mezcló con el comentario de dos programas chinos separados, que se muestran en los dos televisores en la pared. El resto del trabajo quedó en manos de la joven que acababa de llegar, una joven muy agradable también, aunque el único otro cliente pidió sal, luego tuvo que mostrarle dónde estaba en el estrado. ¡Creo que era un habitual! La mente no tardó en llegar, pero sobre la base de eso, no volveré. Las galletas de gambas no tenían sabor. Antes de terminarlos, apareció el szechuan de carne de res, al menos esto era sabroso, aunque no tenía otra opción de arroz, tenía que hervirlo. Que se sirvió en el mismo plato. Igual de bien, considerando lo poco que había szechuan. . y también he comido mejor carne de res. No, al parecer, Hammersmith no es el lugar para los chinos.

Pretty good Chinese restaurant in the Ravenscourt Park area of Kings Street, Hammersmith. In addition to the regular Chinese menu they have a more authentically Chinese menu comprising of dishes of animals and parts of animals that you would never normally consider eating.

Their lunch menu kills all. An absolute perfection when it comes to low prices vs. tasty, delicious and quickly served food.

Very dissapointed with the service and food quality on the Chinese New Year Eve. I booked a table two weeks before, but still got a table by the door, it was quite cold when the door opens and we have a five year child. All of us was facing one way so we could not really chart. Despite we had asked to swoop the table but without any sucess. The food servicing time was slow and food was cold. We were all very disappointed. We will not be returning back and definetely not recommond to friends.

抵達倫敦的第一晚，到了住宿附近的中餐廳，結果等了40分鐘都沒有上菜，當時我們是現場第二組客人，他們看似還有很多外送單，最令人生氣的是，隔壁桌比我們晚來的卻先上菜，打算離開的時候才終於端出一盤炒飯，並安撫我們表示會打折，卻在結帳的時候多算了一盤炒飯，等於沒有打折，被發現才退現金給我們！非常不推薦！是黑店！不建議來這邊破壞旅遊的心情！

Busqué en Google 'restaurante chino' sin mucha esperanza después de ver un espectáculo, a mi sobrina y a mí nos gustaba la comida china, pero no teníamos ninguna esperanza de encontrar mucho en Hammersmith. Fuimos a Sanbao más con la esperanza que con las expectativas, ¡pero qué comida! Tenía manitas de cerdo e intestinos de cerdo con langostinos y algunas albóndigas y pak choi y una botella de vino decente. Lugar realmente encantador y comida encantadora y volveremos a visitar. Gracias Sanbao por hacer nuestra velada, un restaurante chino no infestado de comida 'Chinglesh' y con clientes chinos, pero nos hicieron sentir bienvenidos.

Unfortunately was not a great experience. Not tasty chinese ( expected much more from Hammersmith chinese). Neither food or service 😕
