The Eight Restaurant in City of London, Westminster

Recommended to me by a friend from Hong Kong, I knew it was a safe choice. However, I was even more positively impressed and I would place this place in the top 3 asian cuisine restaurant in London. Among the signature dishes you would expect to find, like Pork Belly Noodles, Roasted Duck BBQ Rice, the menus offers some interesting and international variants, like the Salted Egg Roasted Duck Spaghetti (a HK version of the Italian Carbonara) and a Pineapple Bun with Satay beef, which looks more like a burger. As you can see in the pics, portions are also very generous. Atmosphere is relaxed and staff very quick and friendly. The menu is endless… so I ll have to come over again to try a few more things

Nice roasted dishes. Duck was good. Nice place for a quick chinese roast dish. The Beef brisket noodle is really good too. Been visiting here frequently for a quick and fast Chinese meal.

Siamo stati in questo ristorante per una cena con la mia famiglia. Accolti benissimo e serviti da questo cameriere simpaticissimo , ci ha consigliato dei piatti assolutamente da provare. Velocissimi nel servizio e devo dire che abbiamo mangiato benissimo.

Six of us went to this restaurant for a birthday celebration. The food was excellent, staff friendly and helpful. Lots of choice on the menu. Recommend booking, as I couldn’t see any free tables when we were there. Will definitely return!

Der Kellner hatte die Motivation einer Kartoffel. Völlig unfreundlich. Auch bei der Bestellung gab es keine richtige Erklärung, was denn hier gut sei oder dass man die Beilage separat noch bestellen musste. Das Essen war ok, aber der Service eine Katastrophe. Für diesen Preis empfehle ich euch andere Restaurants.

Overrated food, but worst of all the service. They are keen to make you leave. Despite having booked in advanced, they made is wait for 30 mins for the table. The host was rude and made you feel like you're not welcomed.

Food are so authentic as if I went back to Hong Kong. Staffs are efficient and friendly. They have a good queuing system. Great interior design and very clean

What a great place!! We really enjoyed it, the restaurant is very clean and the food is served quickly but we absolutely loved it! Very kind staff and very welcoming too, the owner advised us his best dishes and they were indeed amazing. Lovely experience!! Would recommend!!

I think it closed nearly 10 years ago, but there was a chinese restaurant called "Bamboo Basket" in St James' Park which served awesome chow mein. I think the noodle was freshly prepared onsite with an exquisite sauce which I could not find anywhere else since then - the chow mein by Ken Lo's memories of China in Victoria was the closest but although it was great in its own right it was not qutie the same. I was excited to find that same chow mein again at this restaurnat more than after 10 years' searh - the soft, fresh and delicious noodles with the unique soya sauce! So far I had pork one and seafood one and have been very happy. I would like to try the duck dishes in the future. The serving staff are all very nice and efficient, they supply a small tissue box for each table which you can take home as well, there is a clever equipment with thin bags at the entracne that automatically wrap your wet umbrera when you stick it into it. A very well organised new style Chinese cafe with quality food and service!

Food was fast and not too badly priced for London. Service staff a bit too attentive. 1* for service charges added automatically If you want to add a service charge as standard, please add it on the line, ie.. Mushroom Noodles 10 (+1) 11 Or better yet, pay your staff properly to offer good service and let us choose to add an extra tip if we have received exceptional service. Ironically, one of our party planned to leave a better tip than the service charge.

Second time dining here, a lot shorter queue waiting compared to a few months ago when it just opened. Nice authentic HK style food! Main rice and noodle courses are very big portions. Fried chicken wings are very good!

Although this is a waiter-service joint it felt more like a fast food shop! Ok its good to get speedy service but this was just a bit too quick. Surely you need a bit of time to spend in a restaurant to relax and a bit of time in between courses! The main course, while pretty tasty, was ushered up within minutes. The he tried to give me the bill without asking if I wanted dessert. Needless to say it arrived in double quick time!

We arrived in China Town on a busy Monday evening craving good food. having walked past the gaudy restaurants offering the standard buffet and dross.. we stumbled across The Eight and were warmly welcomed in. Amazingly friendly, fabulous customer service and a hand picked menu chosen for us. Absolutely delicious with fresh, good quality ingredients. We would definitely bypass the masses to return to this hidden gem that doesn't lure you in with all you can eat canteen offerings. Perfect.

Best food ever to try in London , it is the first time to eat duck fried and it was perfect Staff so much friendly and help you to order the perfect food

This is the second time we visited Eight, which is a new Hong Kong-style cafe in China Town, London. A little like a traditional Hong Kong cafe, but in London. It has a huge menu of traditional Chinese food but you come here for the cafe-style menu. I have not found anywhere else in London doing this. You cannot book and there is always a queue outside and worth the wait. Tables downstairs as well as up - so does not take long. The staff is very friendly and helpful with the menu, which has so many new options compared to your usual china town restaurant. I managed to take a photo of the menu this time and attached it to this review. Recommended Pork Chop Pineapple Bun Beef Brisket curry with Volcano Egg Rice Chicken Wings Coco Toast - Amazing! They don't like you ordering extras later as they want to clear the tables, so make sure you order everything you want at the start. It is a little more expensive, but the quality is there to justify it. It's more aligned to something like Duck and Rice, but I think better.
