We are from the Bay Area in California and used to great Chinese cooking. This was like being at home again. Generous portions, great seasoning and prompt service made for a great start to a fun evening in SoHo. We especially liked the fresh sautéed pea greens which they call ‘Morning Glory’. That, a shared basket of steamed dim sum and half a roast duck (boneless) with a bowl of rice made an excellent meal for two.

At the Leicester Square end of Chinatown - we went upstairs - all staff friendly and attentive. Meal for two (B) plus Savoury Chicken hot pot were more than enough for three, though we cleared the plates. Every dish was excellent. By far the best Chinese we have visited for a very long time.

It really tasted extremely good! I had half a Peking duck with properly prepared side dishes of rice and sauces. I have never eaten so well in a Chinese restaurant. The service was also very nice and attentive. You can sit outside here and relax, even when the weather is a little worse.

After a long day sightseeing, this was the perfect place to sit outside and enjoy great Chinese food and soak up the atmosphere. The fried dumplings, pork rolls and chicken noodle soup were very tasty. Ordered fried submerging with salted fish and pork - it was delicious. The mapo tofu with minced pork was much less appetizing and the spice-hotness left a strange tingling taste and a tongue-numbing effect (quite off putting) Service was excellent and despite the mapo tofu dish, we derfinitely want to go back and try other dishes.

Nice restaurant Good service BUT Duck Bone and the rest of left cut off bit and piece on the rice is not what I expected. ( not a normal pieces of duck as you may expect. Sadly they gave me only lot of bones with barely duck meat left + duck bottom skin ( as s) + bones ss Maybe if you oder a whole duck, they might give you the real portion of duck meat. Dim Sum was nice. Nice restaurant The service was good, but the duck bones and the remaining duck meat on the rice were not what I expected. Sadly they only gave me a lot of duck bones and almost no duck meat and duck bottom skin (like s) Maybe if you order a whole duck they might give you real duck meat. The dim sum was delicious.

The staff wasn’t friendly or welcoming. We felt like beeing monitored while eating, because they had way too much staff for these couple guests. They have been very close to our table and always monitored us. The food was not that good. The fried chicken which tiryaki wasn’t fresh made. The egg rice was ok, but could have been better. We had way better asian food in the past. At the end the staff didn’t even asked for anything else, she just gave us the invoice we haven’t already asked for. For these high rates you expect way better food and an authentic welcoming atmosphere. We can’t recommend this place! This is not the right way to run a restaurant.

China Modern (was Shanghai Modern) is a fantastic restaurant in Chinatown. As opposed to many others in the area, it is bright, spacious and always super clean. Staff are friendly and have always provide great service. The manager remembers customers and is always welcoming. Also standout about the food it's not oily or greasy. I'm not crazy about crispy chilli beef, but I've had two separate groups of friends say it's the best they ever had. I really like the beef ribs and fried pork dumplings. I really recommend both. Also if you are a bit adventurous, try something off the special menus when they have it. It's the kind of place all the food is great, it's just down to whether you fancy trying something new.

Нормальный китайский ресторан в чайна-таун. Ничего исключительного, вполне стандартный ассортимент и качество для китайских ресторанов. Поужинали вечером 25 декабря, все рестораны были закрыты кроме чайна-тауна, в это стояла большая очередь на вход. В итоге нормальный, вкусный ужин, но цены были в этот день завышены ровно вдвое из-за рождества.

A restaurant I will never go to again or recommend. My friend and I both got food poisoning that night after eating it - we vomited all the food and had an on and off fever all day, with symptoms of poisoning on my face. The Tongcai was very oily, and the oil used seemed not very good. The Dongpo pork was cold and the lean meat was very hard. What made us most suspicious was the salted egg tofu. The tofu and shrimp were very stale and unsettling. hard to swallow.

This Shanghai modern restaurant is spacious with two floors. All the pictures in this post are very tasty.. the chicken corn soup, pork dumplings, mushroom dumpling ( green color), wonton noodle soup with bbq pork and crispy fried beef-my personal favorite, the flavorful fried beef are especially delightful when paired with soft jasmine rice. The service is fast, and the restaurant is notably clean. Moreover, each table is equipped with hand sanitizers for added hygiene. The staff is attentive, friendly, and provides excellent customer service. Highly recommended!

Disappointed with this restaurant....the food was of poor quality...noodles in chicken noodle dish ...where was the chicken? Half the plate with cooked noodle, half not cooked! Poor....tasteless...ate it because I was hungry. A can of coke dumped on the table with a straw. The sweet and sour pork was cuts of poor quality meet. So annoyed we paid over 50 pounds...meant to be a well earned treat....strange how some reviews highlight the food taste and quality as good and others say poor. Will not return again....persuaded my other half you can usually find a decent Chinese restaurant in town and be able to walk in...nope...do a proper search every time from here on now. Fifty pounds or not its a lot of money and no one should have to part with it here.

This restaurant has the best food, my friend and I had dinner there and asked for the optional service charge add on to be removed and the server a lady there told us that most people paid and if you don't want to pay service charge please take a take away, well is it not optional, how can they tell me that they would prefer me to have food taken to home rather than eating in, when it was a matter of small money only, for a consumer £4 is sufficient, but as a business is it right to loose customers over such a small amount, when you are located near Picadilly and earn so much in revenue, need to rethink... Really dismayed on the service

Peking duck was good although portion didn't really match what was requested Hotpot very bland even the tomato one... Service is horrendous, you ask for something they just walk away and do it like robots no acknowledgement or questions. We asked for a little more water in the hotpot - they filled it up to the top which made the bland soup even worse. Didn't even listen when we said stop. No instructions or guidance on the hot pot, small table so not enough space for the minimum dishes they required us to get. Would avoid hot pot...definitely not worth the price

I’ve eaten here on my last two visits to London and both times the food and service have been 1st class. We sat outside both times which was really nice as it was warm and sunny on both visits. There’s an excellent choice of food and the service is friendly and attentive. The food came quickly after ordering and was delicious, hot and there was plenty of it. Prior to our visits to this restaurant we’d had a couple of pretty poor experiences at other restaurants in Chinatown so it was great that this one was so good. I’ll definitely return next time I’m in London.

We have visited many of the Reston China town over the years. Yes they are a little touristy but you’ll be getting a good, mainly authentic, meal. The Shanghai modern is a busy but friendly restaurant with a big menu. We ordered (too much) and the food was on the table in 15 minutes. Everything was super tasty and just as expected. Each dish was plentiful and they are happy to give you takeout containers if you can’t finish everything.

We went there quite late, 9:40. They told us the kitchen was still open but we couldn’t order the dumplings. Fine. They squeezed in a table not fit for the group we were, treated in a awful way to speed up the orders, didn’t even ask for drinks which we had to order only after repetitive calls. No sauces served. Food was mediocre, they couldn’t recognise what was beef and what was mock chicken (veg option) so I had to taste meat after 12 years of being vegetarian. Thank you. We had to eat in 15 minutes, rude waiters, they were clearing up everything literally jumping on us to speed up the clearance. I’ll say it again, if you want to close do not take 11 people in, I will go to a fast food instead, where at least I won’t be treated like trash and the food is more tasty. 25£ wasted. Improve your manners and the quality of your food.

We booked this restaurant for a family gathering of 12+ people as we were told that it was spacious - it did not disappoint. However, it was quite empty for a Saturday night, we were one of two tables in this big room all throughout the night and as we were in a room, we were somewhat neglected. We had to keep walking out of the room to get attention. The food was so so and portion sizes were ridiculous for what it's worth. We ordered a whole peking duck to share between us but it most certainly did not look like a whole duck (I'll post pictures once I get them). Sadly, we went back to our Airbnb hungry, so we would not recommend this restaurant.

The reviews here are hilarious, but accurate. That makes me sad :/ Normally we go here late and the guy sees us, knows our order, and there is no problem. This time, we waited 20 mins in a queue to get in the place late Fri night. We finally get in and have to share a table with randoms. Then no one takes our order! One lady is running around like crazy, one table had a guy sleeping on it holding up customers, one table has two girls on it taking pics of every little thing and no other food is being served at other tables. No food is to be seen. WTH!? No one served us and guess what? The randoms on our table left. So did we. Complete waste of time at 3am. Why bother asking people to queue if you're not going to serve them? Ened up getting breakfast on the way home as we decided you didn't deserve our money. Hilarious service. I can't wait to see what the restaurant is going to reply to this review, as they seem extremely defensive and hurt over every one star review instead of looking internally to see how they can fix these issues. Crazy and unfortunate. All these customers can't be wrong although the restaurant replies seem to want to blame the customers. Finger pointing galore. Sorry. Go elsewhere or pick up a McDonald's on your way - waaaaay better.

There are three dim sum restaurants at this Baker Street corner and I made the mistake of picking the closest one. It's not bad, but an underwhelming experience at an exorbitant price. It certainly is not an inviting welcome; the woman at the door bordered on hostile, though perhaps it was because of a lack of confidence in her English. Our server was quiet but helpful when asked and seemed a decent guy at heart. The menu is disappointing. There are no bird-based dumplings (chicken, duck etc) except chicken feet. Several of the fish-based ones included Chilean seabass, a fish I dislike and is certainly neither Chinese nor European. We managed to find six dim sum which interested us, but it was otherwise slim pickings on the menu. Everything was good, but nothing remarkable enough to justify the price. (We have had a lot of dim sum, including in Hong Kong and Shanghai). The best was a siu mai shaped dumpling with shrimp and pea shoots. All the dumplings were pretty bland, including a crab spring roll which seemed Vietnamese in conception. The most interesting menu page has auite a few cheung fan options. There is no excuse for these prices. Most of the plates contain three dumplings and cost 10.8 pounds, though as I look at our receipt, most of ours were 8-9 pounds. . Tea is 4.5 pounds a person and I gather from other reviews that they charge for refills. It was a price we simply balked at. They also suggest a 15% gratuity, which is high for London, I think. Our bill for a light lunch for two was 62 pounds. The upside, as I said to my wife, is we did not over eat as we usually do in dim sum restaurants. But this was at best an okay experience, and not one we will repeat.
