Sinh Le in City of London, Westminster

This is my favourite Chinese style restaurant in the world. The service is great they do carry out and the food is so tasty. If you don’t know what to pick try the beef and broccoli. Delicious.

Decidí ir a este restaurante después de buenas críticas aquí. Una gran decisión ya que la comida era muy buena. Es un lugar pequeño, así que no se deje engañar pensando que la comida no estará a la altura. Tuve el pato chisporroteante con salsa de especias marinas y estaba muy sabroso. Definitivamente una joya escondida como se describe en otras reseñas. No era barato pero no demasiado caro, pero es Londres y, por lo tanto, no espere que los precios sean tan bajos.

Porciones pequeñas y comida para llevar mediocre de calidad a precios de restaurante en Londres.Fue acusado 1. 60 para el aceite de chile que simplemente no está en un restaurante que cobra 6. 60 para una sopa de wonton que tiene 3 wonton hechos en fábrica en un tazón pequeño.Evitar a toda costa.

This is the best asian restaurant in London. Period. I have been to this place now 4 times and every time it is fantastic, and I have been to many asian restaurants in London. You have to try it

Love this "holee in the wall" chinese. It is not far from our office and I go there every time I am in London. The crispy aromatic duck is superb along with the sizzling beef. Definitely a hidden gem.

Love the food and the service was great. The location is great! When you go inside of the resturant you really got the asian-feeling.

We ate lunch here one day during our visit to London, and the food was one of the highlights of our trip. Service was excellent, and the food outstanding - best Chinese food we have ever had. We had soups and Kung Pao Chicken - spicy, good spicy. Fantastic experience. Highly recommend!

Sihn Le hit it out the park for us. Every dish was done to perfection - spot on flavour balance and ideal texture. The pork in the sweet and sour was delicious and crispy! Nice comfortable, unpretentious atmosphere and good service. Would definitely return.

Hubby and I were very impressed with the food and service at great price. Thank you and we will be back next time in London.

Nice restaurant serving good food and providing a great service. First visit, found on Tripadvisor will be returning when next in area would recommend without hesitation

Delicious , tasty food and friendly staff .I enjoyed chicken and sweet corn soup my husband the hot and sour soup followed by chicken curry ! We even ordered extra ribs to take on the train back with us !This place is a hidden gem I have eaten in many Chinese restaurants all over the world and this is by far the best we have ever eaten !

We went as a family to this restaurant. We were greeted by warm and friendly staff . The food was so good, severed hot and so tasty. Highly recommended this restaurant. Booking is advised

This was a great restaurant and their food was delicious. The staff were very nice, friendly and approachable with really fast service. The atmosphere was also quite relaxing and peaceful and overall the entire experience was great

My wife has been a long time fan of the great food and excellent service at Sinh Le, and when I moved to London in 2004, we made the Sinh Le on Mile End Road one of our regular dining locations.

Mi compañero de trabajo y yo nos quedamos atrapados por opciones de comida alrededor de las 10 pm, habiendo golpeado el bar primero, pero para nuestra suerte este pequeño y encantador lugar estaba abierto. Pensamos muy bien, se ve bien y entramos. Tiene una sensación muy acogedora y el servicio es muy bueno, realmente hacen todo lo posible para demostrar que incluso ponen sus utensilios y las primeras cucharadas de arroz fresco. No estamos acostumbrados a este tipo de servicio fuera de la ciudad, ¡así que lo disfrutamos mucho! La comida sale caliente y fresca, los precios no están tan mal, ya que está en Londres, después de todo. Vendría de nuevo

Visité con colegas el 29 de abril esperando algo bastante bueno en base a revisiones anteriores. ¡Sin embargo, lo que obtuvimos fue una opinión unánime de todos nosotros de que habíamos experimentado la mejor comida china que jamás habíamos tenido!

Este es exactamente el tipo de restaurante al que debes acudir cuando estés en Londres. Olvídate de las cadenas, ven a un auténtico restaurante chino con palillos de bambú y verde jade. Simplemente no puedo criticar la experiencia; El servicio es excelente, la comida es deliciosa y hay una delicia en la comida y el ambiente.

One of if not the best Chinese restaurants in London. Superb good great set and great people. Can’t fault it.

Sehr feundlicher Chinese. Und das Essen war auch sehr lecker. Haben dort zweimal etwas zum mitnehmen bei diesen Chinesen geholt. Wurden sehr freundlich empfangen und das Essen war auch frisch und lecker. Die Gericjte beim mitnehmen waren ohne Reis, den musste man extra dazubestellen. Krabbenchips waren auch frisch und sehr lecker

Wir haben uns für das Menue B entschieden. Der erste und zweite Gang waren frisch zubereitet und schmeckten vorzüglich. Die Hausweine sind sehr zu empfehlen, insbesondere der Sauvignon.

Decidimos probar aquí ya que la mayoría de los otros restaurantes de la zona estaban cerrados.

My boyfriend and I were roaming around looking for a place to eat dinner after 10pm and luckily this place was open so we stumbled in. I must say the service here is exceptional. Looks to be family run and everyone is so welcoming and kind. We ordered the chicken fried rice, broccoli beef, mixed vegetables, lemon chicken, and their special house noodles. The fold was so fresh and did not disappoint. Must go!

I came to this restaurant as the first place I was taken with clients when I started out in my career in 1996. 21 years later I went back for an impromptu lunch and - postively - the place hasn't changed! Great atmosphere, lovely staff, and the food is excellent. Some Chinese staples - Tsingtao beer, duck/pancakes, beef in black bean sauce. All delicious and good value.

Conocí a un colega para la cena improvisada en una noche de veranos de Londres. Nos sentimos como china, paseaban por la calle y encontramos Sinh Le. El restaurante no es demasiado grande, pero se siente muy cómodo. El personal era muy atento y la comida sencilla y cervezas rápido. La calidad era excelente, que sirve de tamaño adecuado. En general muy agradable y la comida cocinada justo a la derecha. Sin duda volver

Este es un pequeño restaurante en el que me pareció mejor que la media de los restaurantes chinos. Fui por mi cuenta y me hicieron sentir bienvenido. La comida salió extraordinariamente rápido. No es barato. Una pequeña botella de cerveza Tiger es de £4. 30. Se añade automáticamente un 10% de cargo por servicio a su cuenta.

Tasty, hot, prompt service, cold Tsing Tao. What more does one want from a chinese? One of the better ones in the city

Went here with colleagues. This is a small and cosy resturant. The service and food are good, but a little pricey. Well worth a visit.

Limited tables, so get there early for a weekday lunch as soon full of suits. Reasonable price for the location - very friendly and the food was up to scratch.

I wasn't too keen to eat here given recent reviews on TripAdvisor, but all other nearby establishments were busy with Christmas drinkers. I wish I had taken heed of the negative comments and given the place a wide berth. The meal was nothing special, the service was okay, but what really took the biscuit was the bill. Boiled rice at £4.60 was on the high side and probably the norm for London, but the pint of lime cordial and soda I had was charged at £5.60!! I wish I'd gone for an alcoholic drink, at least I wouldn't have felt so badly ripped off. When I queried it, the waiter's response was "your pint took two bottles of soda water". If they're paying £2 plus for a bottle of soda, I want to be their wholesaler! My recommendation would be to walk past this place and find an alternative.

Tuve comida para llevar en el restaurante. Ternera en salsa de frijol negro y kung po cerdo. Ambos platos estaban nadando en salsa espesa, y el cerdo gloopy especialmente fue excesivamente dulce. Como volver en 20 años, lo que, no problemas mucho (supongo que todavía hay un mercado para este tipo de cosas), con la excepción de que los precios son ampliamente sobre-inflado para este tipo de cosas. Yo no habría pensado cornflour y azúcar es caro.

Excellent authentic Chinese Food. Clean restaurant. Great place to have an authentic Chinese dinner in London. All the dishes are very flavorful, the vegetables are crisp, and food is perfectly cooked.

Cenamos allí con mi marido y dos niñas. Lugar pequeño con no muchas mesas pero claramente popular! La comida era muy buena, muy sabrosa y el personal era muy agradable y amable. No es mal precio. Nos fuimos con la adultos £22. 50 de la carta, que nos proporcionó mucha comida! No pude terminar todo.

Sinh Le was the only opened restaurant in the area around 11:30 PM.I had a takeaway order which was average quality.

I seem to have visited a lot of Chinese restaurants during May and had varying meals, this is the one stood out though. Excellent food, very well cooked and very tasty. Brilliant service too. Three of us had a very nice lunch here and its...

Después de haber leído los comentarios positivos en tripadvisor, decidimos venir aquí para una comida, ya que estaba cerca de nuestro hotel. La comida no estaba mal pero no espectacular. Media es una mejor descripción. Pero. . . Hay una camarera que es increíblemente arrogante,...

Este es un enorme pérdida para la comunidad. El Sinh Le era el mejor chino en el este de Londres. No estoy segura si te he abierto de nuevo, pero yo la tengo desde el propietario que en la actualidad le está cerrado Sinh goteaba constantemente por lo que derramaba.

El personal es encantador. Amable, pequeño pero acogedor (es el restaurante no el personal), a un precio razonable, con el salado pimienta beancurd. Es diferente y muy muy sabroso!

Me and my friends have been there two times now late at night and we've had such a good meal we'll always come back!! Best Chinese in London by far!! Up the road by bars which is perfect at half 10 at night and delicious food! I never order Chinese takeaway At home as I'm not usually too keen but this Chinese is just right!! Xx

Nice ambience, friendly staff, delicious, perfectly cooked Chinese food. Great service. I can't fault this place. Recommended. I'll be back for sure. Decent portions, good value for money, fresh ingredients. Nice home made chilli oil too.

Abbiamo cenato in questo ristorante assaggiando involtini primavera (discreti), costicine in gravy sauce, noodle e risi. Difficile descrivere le costicine che sembravano riscaldate al microonde e il riso, condito con ciò che poteva sembrare un avanzo di giorni. No, non è questa la cucina cinese a Londra! Delusi molto delusi non torneremo mai più.

In amongst the pubs and bars on the Minories is this little Chinese restaurant. Went in to order take out and was pleasantly surprised at nice decor. Place was packed with Friday night diners - not that many tables but obviously a popular place. Service was very friendly and my food was ready fast. Even though it was a cold night and a quick walk back to my hotel, my food was hot and freshly prepared. Especially enjoyed their egg fried rice. A simple dish but often can have way too much oil - this one was light and tasty with little pieces of green onion and nori mixed in with the egg. Mah Po tofu with beef was delicious too!

Was there on 10.1.2017 - ordered duck hot plate - extremely fatty - complained and was still charged for meal.

A restaurant that over the last 17 years I've been going there has kept an excellent standard of welcoming hospitality and good food. Recent visit confirmed that they keep doing the right things well. Independent restaurants need to be supported to ensure they survive.

Very expensive restaurant. The food is ok but not worth what we paid for it by a long shot. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Would not recommend .

We dropped in here on a Friday evening. The food was good, and the cooking staff working hard. It was spoiled by a very grumpy waitress.

We were staying overnight locally and fancied Chinese so found this on TripAdvisor and thought we'd give it a go. The staff were really friendly and attentive and the food was super quick, all freshly cooked and very tasty. Would definitely recommend and go again.

We have stayed in this area of London twice and made a point of going back to this Chinese restaurant. The food is very good and ambiance pleasant. Would definitely recommend it to other travellers.

Have visited this restaurant on several occasions while in London and the food has always been good and pretty reasonably priced for London. The staff are also very friendly and polite and the restaurant is in a very handy situation for Aldgate and Tower Hill Tube station

Was staying a minute away from Sinh Le and after a week of eating out I had enough. I just wanted a quick takeaway to eat in my hotel room.This place is literally 20 seconds from Motel One where I was staying.It is an ordinary Chinese restaruant which is good. Nothing flash, just what you need.Was greeted with a very friendly smile.Order taken, was told it would take about 10 minutes so popped next door to stock up on drinks.Order came when promised including some comlpimentary prawn crackers.Went for a platter starter, followed by Singapore noodes and sweet and sour chicken.Starter was nice, not blown away but certainly not bad.Included ribs, seaweed, prawn toasts (which were actually excellent), some wonton things and satay,.Main was as you would expect. Again it was nice, but was not blown away.Good meal in all, no reason not to return.

Sinh Le is like a Chinese restaurant from my youth. Straightforward Cantonese food, well-prepared, tasty, and satisfying in good-sized portions. They do all the standards very well, including wonton soup, roast pork with vegetables, and various chicken and shrimp,dishes. The unpretentious decor and efficient service are both just right. And I even got food to go once for the complete home experience! I don't want to oversell it, but if you're in the area and have a hankering for the taste of Chinese food from home (at least the New York suburbs), you won't be disappointed.

Coming from Canada where we only have the sliced Peeking Duck, I was introduction to this placed because they have a variation that is shredding. And it is amazing. We trying to go here each time we are in London. It is a very small restaurant, but don't let the size fool you. Get the mixed starter plate, some shredded duck, and some crispy ginger beef and you will be hooked.

Very small Chinese restaurant but good selection, service and price.Has a a nice but not ostentatious decor, food very tasty Will definitely visit again

Very good food and really friendly and attentive staff. Also pretty good value for London. We showed up quite late but were still welcomed in. We'll be back.

We chose set menu for two, costing approx. £22-50 per head.Starters - very goodCrispy duck - excellentMain courses - superbWe were both very familiar with Chinese food and can vouch for this restaurant - we shall no doubt return next week, when in London.Extremely attentive and helpful staff - some might find this a little invasive, but it was well intended, therefore well received!

Staff welcome you with a friendly smile as soon as you walk in the joint.Hot n` Sour Soup was spot on and my two friends who were visiting from Macclesfield,Bobbie Torney and Ethel McClair, both loved the whole experience.Okay,it isn`t cheap but then again what would one expect in Minories?

We visited this restaurant whilst staying at the nearby Travelodge and were initially very pleased with the quick service and very nice food, Two of us had a main meal each and shared rice and noodles and the portions were just right in size for us, and we would say it was one of the nicest Chinese meals that we have had.However the night was spoiled when we noticed the 10% service charge on the bill, what a cheek, it's not like we could serve ourselves is it! I didn't notice if it was mentioned on the menu, but then you're not going to leave are you.Anyway the end result was the waitress didn't get her tip and I was grumpy for a bit.

I got a takeaway from here just half hour ago and the staff were friendly and the service quick. When I got back to work, the vegetable spring rolls were nice, the egg fried rice lovely. I also ordered a sichuan chicken. I'm not going to go into too much about how sichuan chicken should be cooked as there are only a few restaurants in London who cook this dish with actual Sichuan peppers, but to put too much salt in the dish is something I would not expect. I would expect the chef to taste the dishes he/she is cooking or at least control the input. For almost £9, it was a shame I had to bin it and had to do with the fried rice on it's own, which was half the price of the chicken.

The food and service were excellent. I was with a group of 9 and went back the next day on my own. I'll go back next time I'm in London.

First class service, good food, decent prices.I stay in London a couple of times a month and always try and find somewhere new to eat. As a single diner I look for quiet places where I can read a book in peace and enjoy some food without too much fuss. Sing Le ticks all the boxes.The staff are very attentive without being over bearing. I ordered the crispy lamb to start which was lovely. I then had the Szechuan Prawns with rice. They were cooked to perfection. In most Chinese restaurants the king prawns are tough as old boots! But not here, they were fresh, tender and full of flavour. A real treat.

I stumbled across this when wandering from my hotel. It was a bit disconcerting to be the only diner but take always were being ordered and it was Monday night. I'd been in the gym and was starving. Good came very quickly with complimentary prawn crackers. I NEVER EVER leave any food - but I did. Those who left hungry must be the size of houses. Food was tasty and tender. And it's NOT expensive. Some people need their heads read!

The service was really good and all the staff were really nice. I asked them if I could have a certain dish with prawn and xo sauce (which was on their normal menu) but with the sizzling plate, which wasnt on their menu and the waitress was very quick to safe off course it was no problem. The dish that came was lovely. I dont know why people complain about the service at this restaurant as i found it extremely efficient without being overbearing and was even asked if it was ok to take away the complimentary prawn crackers at the end of the meal, in Edinburgh you have to guard them with your life or their snatched away.

Das Lokal ist schön, der Empfang war nicht so freundlich, der Kellner, welcher uns bediente aber dafür sehr. Habe selten so gut chinesisch gegessen. Alles war frisch zubereitet und schmeckte köstlich.

Went there last night as a group of 9 and it was a great night. the service was excellent, the food portions were huge and more than enough to go around. we had the set meal which worked really well for a large group.. the food was tasty and we had a fabulous night. will certainly go there again.

This is a small, family run restuarant on the edge of the City of London. Given the location, you can't expect it to be cheap, and it isn't....but it's not outrageously expensive either. The food was good, and the service was pleasant and prompt. The meal was not enhanced by an incredibly loud, vulgar and drunken group mainly made up of young women, but you can't blame the restuarant for that...loud and uncouth seems to be a common feature of eating out in London (I speak as a long displaced Londoner, London Pride at home in the North West, embarrassed to share the accent when confronted by a group like this in my home town). I'd eat here again

L'Accueil et le Service sont impeccables, cuisine excellente ce resto chinois vaut vraiment le détour

Ok so I love food so most important is quality and flavour especially when paying the price these guys charge for rice noddles and a chicken and prawn dish £44 back where I live still in london, £20 for just as good so what makes it worth that price, honestly nothing, the watress seemed hostile and didn't want anyone there the man was ok but nothing amazing. No atmosphere what so ever had little music but the customer service made me uneasy. Food tasted ok but not phenomenal just average take away. Over priced food 10% service charge for what bringing some plates to my table not wanting to change my cutlery and looking miserable ??? If so U achieved what u aimed a non returning customer

I arrived at 5:30, only 2 other people in. It took 20 minutes to get a starter of hot and sour soup. That was OK to be fair but not the best I have had.I then ordered Chicken Cashew Nuts in yellow bean sauce. It was so salty I couldn't eat more than two mouthful. I am not one to complain but when asked If everything was OK, I told the waiter about the issue with the main. All he said was that he would 'tell the chef'On top of that, a 10% service charge was levied.Overall a quite dissapointing dining experience. I left feeling hungry.

great food and value - good choice & extremely efficient friendly service - will definetly be returning

Stayed at the Travelodge at the end of Minnories and found the Sihn Le. Food was superb - we had the set meal for two (B). Food was well prepared and presented. More than we could eat. Staff were very attentive. Restaurant was nice and warm but not over hot. Would definitely go there again.

I ate here after wandering around the area reading the window menus.I ordered two main courses, the Singapore fried rice (extra spicey), sweet & sour chicken, and a Tiger beer.The fried rice was fairly ordinary, flavourless, with a few slices of raw mild chilli thrown in. The sweet & sour sauce was tasty, tangy, colourful & sticky. Attractively presented, smothering some deep fried battered wood & some raw vegetables. Much more effort had been spent on presentation that cooking.The beer was fine.The bill included a service charge, I didn't mind paying this as the service was fine. But I wouldn't eat here again!

Went there yesterday lunchtime as a group of eight for a Christmas get together. Food OK (certainly not special) but portion size small and wine and liqueurs vastly overpriced. I appreciate that the restaurant is in the city but not a particularly attractive part of it, being behind Aldgate bus station! I think they are taking the "mickey" and I will not go there again.

lekker gewoon chinees restaurant, ruime keuze. Vriendelijke bediening. Leuk om de menu's te nemen en zo een verscheidenheid aan gerechten te kunnen proeven.

Have visited Sinh Le a number of times as it located in my street. I have to admit the decoration is not really inviting as it is a bit outdated but the food and service make up for this. A wide selection of dishes all well prepared and with fresh ingredients. We have visited China Town a couple of times because of the ambiance but until now, none of the restaurants we have visited can compete with Sinh Le in terms of quality of food. Definitely recommend this restaurant.

The food here is out of this world! I went for the sizzling lamb which the chef be-spoked to my spicier taste, Singapore fried rice and BBQ ribs.Everything was fantastic! The service was also very attentive and friendly.Don't let the exterior/interior decor put you off as it does resemble a restaurant from the 1980's! The food is better than a lot of places I have been recently in London that charge double the price!

Lovely food, great service. Wasn't the cheapest place to eat but loads of choice and well worth the money.

Reserved a table for 5 at short notice. Work in the area but first time visit to this restaurant.I have to say very pleasently surprised as i really didnt expect much. This restaurant has been here for a few years but has always been under my radar. Anyway whilst it could be argued that the restaurant is furnished very simply erring towards bland the staff and the food more than make up for this. Both were equally fantastic. Service was very attentive and the food was amazing. By the end of the meal all of my party were raving about the food and how they couldnt believe that they have never been there before......................this surely says it al!. Will most defintely be coming back again.

The Sinh Le has the best Chinese food I have ever had in any Chinese restaurant anywhere. And it's consistently good. I have lived in the area for ten years, and every single time that I have eaten at the Sinh Le, the food has been remarkably good.The service is prompt and friendly, and the portions are generous. I always order too much, but have yet to regret it.This restaurant is one of he reasons I love my neighborhood so much,.

This place is ok. It's not outstanding but the food is tasty and the service prompt, portions aren't generous but not miserly either. The set meal deal for groups is recommended.I would recommend it for any city workers that have a craving for Chinese food!!

This restaurant is almost next door to my office and we have been going there for years. I consider the quality of the food a cut above the standard Chinese restaurant offerings, especially their excellent whole steamed sea bass, which is superb. The staff do initially come over as quite abrupt however once you get to know the old dear running the place they do warm up to you. We have had large tables of 20 or so diners catered for upstairs, which works well. It is relatively expensive, however it does cater to the expense account so this is to be expected and is the norm for restaurants in this area.

I have often visited both this and the sister restaurant near Whitechapel. They are both very good restaurants with extensive menus, attentive staff and good quality food. They are relatively pricey (particularly the Aldgate branch which caters for business diners) but also a cut above the typical standard. My favourite dish is the salty peppered fish which, unfortunately, is only available in the city branch. I love the decorative fish tank in the Whitechapel restaurant.

Staff friendly enough, restaurant nice also but like so many the food is re-heated to serve.We ordered the mixed starter of 6 deep fried portions, they arrived after about 90secs! To be fair they were tasty enough but the doubts were there.Main of three courses went down to two when one was cold and sent back, the other two were only lukewarm but the shredded chilly beef was poor and it was only 50/50 as to whether it had beef!?Small portions too.This place will be overlooked as a result, Sorry

This is the second visit in a couple of months. Went as part of a party of 5, of which 4 shared set menu. I had separate vegetarian food. Everyone enjoyed the meal. Staff very friendly and service was quick and efficient.

I dined at Sinh Le on a recent business trip to London. Not fancying the sterile fayre on offer at the local Premier Inn I strolled up and walked in without booking. The interior is quite small with “no frills” and not particularly intimate but the two staff members were efficient and friendly. I ordered chicken & sweetcorn soup to start and, despite being almost too hot to eat, it was otherwise fine. For main I had a sizzling chicken dish with egg fried rice and soft noodles. The portions were just right in size and well presented while the quality of food was good enough for me. With a large bottle of mineral water, my bill came to just under £30, which I didn’t think was too bad for Central London. Overall, I thought the menu here could be a little more varied with more detail as to what each dish contains, but I would be happy to eat here again.

Chinese isn't often my first choice, but this place is very, very good. Not the cheapest chinese but well worth a visit.

Half a crispy duck shared between 4 as a starter was good. They don't sell wine by the glass so as I didn't want a bottle I had to have a bottle of beer.

Whether you visit at lunchtime or evening, the service and the food are very good.Have been there a few times and will most likely visit a few times more.

Food quality was disappointing: rice arrived too hot to eat and got hotter - a microwave hard at work I suspect. Main course also too hot (temperature). Staff showed no interest when I mentioned this too them. Added 10% service charge automatically - i removed and object to this practise when I am on my own or in a small party.
