Taste of China in Camden

Authentic Hunan flavors, rich spices, and bold heat. The roast lamb and dry-pot bullfrog stand out. Great for spice lovers!

It’s really good place to have a nice dinner!! The food is quite fresh and delicious!! Love the service here!! Will come again!

very delicious! Every dishes is recommended, and the environment is extremely clean

One of the most authentic Chinese restaurants in London！If u love spicy Chinese food，definitely cannot miss it. Each dish is served in generous portions. The service attitude and the environment are both excellent！My friends and I often order takeout from this restaurant.

Nice and spicy vegetarian food, would come again!

This is really so good, really very authentic, and it really feels like I'm home when I can eat like this in a foreign country. Their dishes are very large and affordable. Recommended double pepper fish is very delicious. The most important thing is that the service attitude of this family is also particularly good, the process of eating, there will also be waiters from time to time to ask you what you need. It's really a very comfortable experience.

Super delicious Hunan food, very authentic, and the service attitude is also very good. I feel like I am back in Hunan! !

Good service attitude, fast food, delicious.

The food comes out fast, the service is good, and the taste is great!

They charge water £2.8 per person

The service was absolutely terrible! The tall waiter with glasses was incredibly rude and disrespectful. The restaurant was only half full, but when we tried to place our order, he told us, “Even if you order now, we can’t process it because we have a lot of orders ahead.” There was no apology—nothing. Were we just supposed to sit there and wait until it got quieter to order our food?

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Hand-shredded cabbage🥬: The three of us unanimously agreed that this dish is a must-try when entering the restaurant! It’s delicious beyond expectations🥹Who would have thought that vegetarian dishes can be more amazing than meat dishes! Sour, crispy and smooth! It’s super tasty and goes very well with rice. You can get a few more bites of rice with this sauce bibimbap! The first disc man! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Stir-fried yellow beef🌶: How can you not order the stir-fried yellow beef when you come to eat Hunan cuisine? The first thing you notice when you eat it is that the beef is very tender! Chili 🌶 is really hot, not white hot! It’s also a great meal! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Ants climbing the tree🍝: I almost missed out on the deliciousness by not ordering this dish! ! A symphony of vermicelli minced meat and sauce, who invented this dish? It looks simple but tastes surprising! I would be willing to order this dish again and have a meal🤩 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Corn Spare Ribs Soup🌽: Cantonese soup (carrot-free version) 😆 The three of us Cantonese drank the soup base thoroughly, it was sweet and delicious! I usually drink soup without any ingredients, but the corn here is very crispy and sweet, and the pork ribs are stewed very soft. If you want to drink soup, I recommend ordering this! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Farmhouse Dried Fragrance Pot🍖: I actually love the celery in this fragrant dry pot! The sauce is particularly delicious after sucking it in, and the stir-fried pork inside is also delicious! It’s been a long time since I’ve eaten Xianggan😋 ⭐️⭐️⭐️Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs🥩: I feel the sourness is more obvious in this dish, while my friend feels the sweetness is more obvious, so it has a lot to do with personal taste! It’s a side dish, but in comparison it’s not as amazing as the previous dishes~ 💰£20-30 per person 📍 Taste of China 84 Southampton Row, London WC1B 4BB

Highly recommended having these delicious dishes with rice. Really make me feel so satisfied. A great restaurant

This Hunan-style meal looks delicious and full of flavor! The dishes include stir-fried beef with chili peppers, Hunan-style stir-fried pork, dry-fried green beans, and sweet and sour ribs. The vibrant colors and spicy aroma make it a perfect representation of authentic Hunan cuisine!

My treasure Hunan restaurant is located in the city center, so it’s super convenient every time I go there. The portion is huge, and I highly recommend the stir-fried bacon with radish, it’s really delicious. Very tasty

Super delicious👍delicious～Recommend the pork belly chicken soup🥰I love this restaurant!

This place makes really good stir fried pork and beef. Every dish pairs well with rice - hugely recommend for those looking for something authentic. Suits chinese flavour palette very well.

Very delicious! I ordered a lot of dishes, every one of them was very fragrant and went well with the rice. I liked the stir-fried kidneys (super tender), the griddle-pot fat intestines with ants on the tree, and the stir-fried pork! Fresh and spicy🌶️Eating it steaming hot is especially delicious ~ I recommend friends to try it for dinner! ! Authentic

the food is good and spicy like it so much

The spicy and sour chicken gizzards are cooked with pickled chilli. The gizzards are crunchy and very spicy—perfect for those who can handle the heat! The fragrant and spicy lamb ribs is a good mix of lean and fat, making it tender and flavorful. Both dishes are delicious!

The Twice-Cooked Pork has a perfect balance of bean sauce and chili, making it flavorful without being too spicy. The Fish fillets with Pickled Veg: the fish is very fresh and tender, with pickled vegetables and glass noodles, creating a deliciously tangy, spicy, and savoury taste.

Terrible service attitude，The service staff is arrogant and rude.

I DON't recommend, my stomach hurt after we ate in this restaurant. The shrimps were not fresh, some of them tastes bitter.🤮 They also have 12% MANDATORY tip without asking how the food was. Never go again. 避雷点🦐，回家肚子疼。

The pre-made dishes are all cold and extremely unpalatable.

The food tastes very good, and the attitude of the boss and waiters is also very good!

One of the closest Chinese restaurants near the British Museum. Plenty of options to choose from, but definitely should try the spicy dishes! Portions are sharable, but need to add 12% of service charge additionally to the prices

We went for lunch here and we had a very enjoyable experience. The menu is varied, and we couldn't decide what to have as it all sounded so good. The food arrived very quickly after ordering, and the portion sizes were just about right. The sizzling beef with chilli was so tender and had an excellent kick to it. The stir-fried beef with ho fun noodles was delicious.

It tastes great~ The radish bacon and hand-shredded cabbage are delicious~

this review is not about the flavours at all because the food was good. however when i walked past the kitchen to head to the washroom, i saw one of the chefs directly taste food from the cooking ladle! we were the only table waiting for food so you can imagine how uncomfortable i felt. perhaps i should have spoke up in that moment but i did not want to ruin the meal for my table. i hope the restaurant can view this comment and work on the hygiene and regulations

If what we had for dinner yesterday (Christmas Day) here is the same level as any ordinary day’s, we honestly WON’T RECOMMEND this restaurant to anyone. GBP 85.2 (AUD 170) was paid for below three dishes and a small bowl of steamed rice (GBP 5.8 each). The beans is way too salty, the saltiest ever I had (我是山东人). We had to keep drinking water while eating it with rice. The chilli is even more than kidney for the second dish, we already asked to have less chilli/less spicy prior to order everything. The sticky rice with ribs and steamed rice are ok. We were disappointed that on a Christmas dinner, at 5:30pm (half full only) with nearly doubled price of ordinary price paid (yes they raised price on yesterday as a tradition here, which is understandable for a public holiday), the food quality is unexpectedly low, which really ruined our Christmas (we come from Australia). Shame to call themself as “ Taste of China”, if they really believe Chinese cuisine is like this?

The chicken is delicious😋It’s spicy enough and goes well with rice. I like it

Really authentic Hunan food, I have eaten it many times

Very good restaurant. Foods taste Super great

very nice staff and tasty traditional Chinese food! Will invite my friends to visit at Christmas Eve!

It feels on par with domestic Hunan restaurants, which is pretty good👍.

Hi everyone,Chinese here, the restaurant is absolutely amazing.

Very delicious! 🥺Hunan people cry when they eat

Taste of China (Hunan Ren) is hands down the best Hunan restaurant I’ve tried in London! The flavors are authentic, portions are generous, and the prices are super reasonable (around £15 per person). Every dish feels like a trip back home. Their spicy beef stir-fry with pickled chili is tender and packed with flavor, and the steamed sea bass with chili is perfectly cooked and so satisfying. Don’t miss the marinated chicken in chili oil—it’s addictive! If you love bold, spicy food, this place is a must-visit. Bonus: they’re open on Christmas Day!

The food tastes good and the service attitude is also good

I ordered the stir-fried green beans and boiled beef, which were really delicious. Recommended

Nice place, delicious food and nice people!

Super delicious! ! ! It tastes great! !

It tastes super good! My favorite is the stir-fried yellow beef and sizzling Japanese tofu, and they are not expensive!

The stir-fried yellow beef is delicious. Recommended

Fried rice with chopped pepper is very delicious👍

The taste is very good, the sour radish with fat intestine, dried bacon and radish, and the stir-fried yellow beef are highly recommended. Three dishes for two people.

really good chinese food i was so satisfied with my meal, definitely coming back !!😋

The restaurant is very delicious, the waiter is very warm, the food is super fast, the little fried chicken is very delicious, very happy to eat, almost come again!

The food is served super fast, the service industry is very enthusiastic, and the restaurant atmosphere is very high-end. The stir-fried chicken and salted egg yolk sweet potato fries are especially delicious!

Hunan cuisine is a must! Highly recommend the stir-fried yellow beef, chicken offal, and braised pork trotters! The boss is very enthusiastic!

I had diarrhea and didn't order spicy food. There must be a hygiene problem.

Love their food! This time I ordered three of these! 1. Dry pot sausage: The portion of the sausage is large, the cleaning is relatively clean, and there is no strange smell. This is my favorite! 2. Kung Pao Chicken: Although I don’t like Kung Pao Chicken very much, I feel that Kung Pao Chicken is more delicious than pork intestines and goes very well with rice! 3. Sweet and sour pork ribs: This is my favorite flavor! It's a bit like the plum pork ribs made by northerners. The meat is very tender and not too sweet!

Great value, generous portions, and absolutely delicious! Highly recommend the stir-fried pork liver and cured meat with dried radish—simply amazing!

Very delicious Chinese food. I like the pork ribs with stick rice and the fried beef with chilli. The Japanese tofu is also recommended!

Delicious food! Nice service! Definitely will come again

Lovely staff and absolutely delicious food! The portions are perfect—not too heavy but just right for a cold winter day. A warm and satisfying experience all around!

I thought it was an authentic Hunan dish, but the taste was really average. The steamed fish with chopped peppers was not tasty, the hand-shredded cabbage was not fried, the hot and sour soup contained egg shells, and the sweet potatoes with salted egg yolk were not sweet and had no egg yolk flavor. But the hot and sour noodles are pretty good.

My favorite Stir fried spicy beef ever! It requires certain level of spicy tolerance, but you will love it if you can manage it 😋😋😋

Really home-taste and delicious. Will go again!

Delicious Hunan food with authentic flavors! The braised eggplant was perfectly tender with savory sauce that’s amazing with rice. The glutinous rice with pork ribs was full of fragrant flavor. A great spot to satisfy your Hunan food cravings!

If you’re craving authentic Hunan food, this spot is a solid choice. The braised eggplant is perfectly soft, with a rich, savory sauce that’s ideal for mixing with rice. The century egg with chili sauce is bold and flavorful. For something unique, the salted egg yolk sweet potato offers a fun sweet-salty twist. A comforting place to enjoy the taste of home!

The braised pig's feet were not soft and rotten, the fermented bean curd, water spinach, and corn ribs soup were tasteless and tasteless. I won't come again next time.

This is a good place to enjoy traditional chinese food!!! I strongly suggest people come here to give a try. It's a nice experience to have chinese food here!

Nice experience, good taste. Reminds me of my hometown cuisines.

Salty, too salty. All I can say is that it is edible but not delicious at all, and the portions are not large. The food is not expensive, but the drinks are expensive, and the service is average. The service charge is 12.5%. Where are you serving? The average per capita is around 25.

Sooooo authentic Hunan cuisine!!!! The food provided is the same taste I get back in Changsha restaurant! The chilly beef is one that cannot be missed. I even took away the rest of the chillies. The price is not high in London, very satisfying experience here.

Ordered fried noodles £16, tastes just like the Chinese takeaway you can get from anywhere. And be prepared to pay the discretionary fee as they would want you to pay the service (bring the food to the table), which from my perspective is not even service. Avoid!

The "Hunanese" restaurant I visited today really didn't disappoint me! 🥳 This time, two friends and I ordered glutinous pork ribs, corn pork knuckles, stir-fried yellow beef and pickled cabbage fried rice. Every dish was amazing👇 🔸Nucus-flavored pork ribs: The pork ribs are soft and glutinous, and the aroma of glutinous rice is mixed with the aroma of meat. You can’t stop after one bite~ 🔸Corn pork knuckles: I love eating pork knuckles. I always feel that eating more collagen can keep the skin elastic. The stewed pork knuckles are super soft, with a full gelatinous texture, and the corn kernels add a touch of sweetness, which relieves greasiness and enhances freshness~ 🔸Stir-fried yellow beef: This is a must-try! The beef is super tender, with a spicy aroma that hits your nostrils. Spicy lovers must try it~ 🔸Sauerkraut fried rice: The sour aroma of sauerkraut completely penetrates into the rice, making every bite irresistible~

This is a Hunan restaurant that even non-Hunanese will fall in love with! Conveniently located 300m from holborn metro station, 6 minutes walk. The meat is tender and juicy, and the chopped pepper sauce is moderately sour and spicy. No matter which dish, it's all exceptionally good: Corn stew ribs soup, Steamed Pickled vegetable pork, Stir fried eggplants and cowpeas, Braised pig feet, Special fried rice！😍

Nice soup, tea, rice, chill oil but the star of the show - roast duck - failed to impress (NB the Cantonese style ones in the window are plastic). Expensive charge for basic service - three waiters all engrossed in texting. Maybe I didn't try the right dishes.

lovely restaurant near Holborn, amazing food and my friend loved it

Amazing hand pulled noodles. So flavourful. We were a walk-in and they had one table left.

Very delicious. It was recommended and it is the best recommendation so far.

Very authentic Chinese food. The staff is really nice and friendly. We ordered all the food she recommended and they all taste very delicious. The portion is also very large. Will definitely come again!

Very authentic Chinese food with great portion

Pleasantly surprised! The hot and sour noodles and century egg were really delicious! The vegetables are highly recommended! The service was also great. The restaurant is quite clean, and the location is convenient. Definitely a place to visit regularly…"

If you like spicy food here is a good place to taste.

Very authentic southern China (Hunan) cuisine with a wide range of flavorful dishes. The place is clean and friendly. Highly recommend the cumin lamb!

Authentic and delicious hunanese food. Was recommended here by a friend, had the stir fried beef, country style tofu, roast lamb, stir fried beans. Everything was delicious.

Great location, big portion and very authentic Hunan dishes! Love the grilled lamb and stir beef with chilli. (小炒黄牛肉）

Good Chinese southern dishes! Nice environment and welcoming staff! Would recommend!

excellent Chinese food! Had a great time with friends ⭐️

Hunan Ren Xiang Cuisine offers authentic Hunan flavors, and their Pickled Fish (酸菜鱼) is a standout dish. The portion is incredibly generous, perfect for sharing with a group. The fish itself is tender and cooked to perfection, with the perfect balance of sour and spicy flavors from the pickled vegetables. Beyond that, the other dishes on the menu are also excellent, with bold and authentic flavors that truly represent Hunan cuisine. Whether you’re trying the stir-fried dishes, spicy meats, or vegetable sides, you won’t be disappointed!

Authentic food！荷叶蒸鸡 (Steamed Chicken in Lotus Leaf) was tender and aromatic, perfectly capturing the essence of the lotus leaf. 猪脚炒玉米 (Stir-Fried Pig feet with sweetcorn), a dish that was both unique and delicious. The combination of tender pig feet and sweet corn created a perfect balance of flavors and textures. Highly recommended!

Went there last Wednesday. Customer service was great. Foods came really quick. The person serving us was friendly. I really enjoyed the rice and the dishes. Since I have a heavy taste, I personally would preferred more spicy and sour. And less oil would be preferable. Overall, is highly recommended to have a try for sure. 👍🏻

Very Tasty！authentic Chinese food！very quick service！

Scammers, ordered tofu and egg without tofu, they charged me more. And funny is there was little to almost no eggs

Hunan cuisine is a delightful explosion of flavors, perfectly balancing heat and spice with fresh ingredients. Every dish I tried was incredibly delicious and left me wanting more. Highly recommended for anyone who loves bold, vibrant flavors!

Absolutely delicious! The stinky tofu here is incredible – crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a rich, flavorful taste that’s truly unique. Highly recommend!

A friend recommended this place for its authentic Hunan flavors, and after this visit, my family and I were very satisfied. The food was delicious, especially the Sweetcorn and Pork Ribs Soup 🍲. The sweetness of the corn and the savory ribs blended perfectly, making it incredibly satisfying. The restaurant’s ambiance is also fantastic—spacious and bright. Thanks to the staff for their excellent service. We’re definitely planning to come back with the family again!

Last week, after visiting the British Museum, we walked for just 3 minutes to try out the 'Taste of China' cuisine. Here’s what we loved: Favorite Dish: Sweet and Sour Spare Ribs 🍖 The ribs were perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The balance of sweet and sour was just right. If you love sweet and sour flavors, this is a must-try! We also tried the Fish Fillet with Pickled Vegetables 🐟The fish fillets were incredibly tender, and the pickled vegetables added a perfect tangy flavor. Each bite tasted authentic Hunan cuisine, and it paired perfectly with rice.

Try the stir fried beef and stir fried green beans!!!

Convenient location! Just 300m from Holborn! The sea bass is fresh and plump, steamed at just the right temperature, and the meat is tender and juicy. The pepper sauce is moderately hot and sour, but not too spicy. Steamed pork ribs with bamboo tube flour, my favorite dish! The bamboo tube is special and unique. The rice noodles absorb the fresh aroma of the ribs and the fragrance of the bamboo tube. Every bite melts in your mouth! !

There is no service and a service fee is charged! If you charge a service fee, do you care as much as foreign restaurants do? I’m speechless. Half of Xiaohongshu’s recommendations are from his spammers.

The taste was okay when I first came, but the taste has gotten worse and worse these past few times. The restaurant was empty on Saturday nights, and most of the people who came were tourist groups. It feels like it will close down in just a few days. The service attitude is also not good. I don’t know whether it was the restaurant owner or the manager who had a particularly bad attitude a few times. One time I ordered takeout at home and the portion was very small.

Delicious food and good environment

was the most bad experience ever FOODS ARE TERRIBLE as a It's a Chinese Hunan restaurant (as they said) but those cuisine they cooked are not local hunan at all just so fake SERVICE IS DISCUSSING it was even so hard to get some tap water LAST BUT MOST HORRIBLE ONE when we were checking out the owner said the cash register is closed and only accepted cash or WeChat pay (they were just trying to avoid taxes), we stated that we chose not to pay the service charge as we had not received any service, even at last we can't use a card payment and the owner started to get angry and told us that if we didn't pay for the service WE NEEDED TO WASH ALL THE DISHES BEFORE WE COULD LEAVE at the end we left but I think it's important to tell this truth to ppl and maybe you will think about carefully before hou go 作为一个湖南人 这家自称为"湖南人"的假湘菜馆真的是往湖南人头上扣shi盆子

The food is really terrible here because the food sources don't taste fresh, especially the fish. Considering their price, I was expecting food sources with good quality. Also the dishes have nothing to do with their pictures. Below picture is stinky tofu.
