The Eight Restaurant in City of London, Westminster

Queríamos un auténtico té de leche estilo HKG y tuvimos una gran decepción en Café TPT para el almuerzo, así que pensamos en darle una oportunidad a Los Ocho. Solo sacamos el té y se hizo en casa y sabía mucho mejor que el té con leche de Café TPT. El té de leche de los Ocho es 5. 80 libras que nos pareció un poco caro, pero supongo que son los precios de Londres. El servicio era muy bueno y no me cobraron un cargo por hacer el té para llevar. La próxima vez que volvamos a Londres, iremos a almorzar a The Eight y probaremos su auténtica cocina estilo Hong Kong como dicen.

La comida estaba bien o la calificación habría sido menor. Sin embargo, lo que inicialmente me llamó la atención fue la oferta de "obtener un 20% de descuento si se pide en cantonés". Esto en realidad se aplica solo a un tipo de plato en el menú: un huevo revuelto de dudosa autenticidad china. NO CAIGAS EN ESTO COMO YO: Pedí algo más en mi imperfecto cantonés y pagué el precio completo. Sin descuento, los precios son promedio si no un poco altos.

Muy buen servicio , personal amable buena comida sabrosa. Lugar muy concurrido con asientos arriba y abajo. Buenas porciones a un precio razonable y sin prisa para salir. Este es un restaurante de estilo cantonés tan ligeramente diferente a lo que se obtendría como un sabor de Hong Kong, pero muy bueno sin embargo.

Non consigliato. Avevamo scelto questo ristorante come ultimo pasto prima di ripartire. La qualità del cibo non è stata all’altezza delle nostre aspettative. Il locale di per sé si presenta bene. L’arredamento è molto carino e la struttura si divide su due piani. Si trova in una zona molto frequentata di soho. Noi siamo arrivati per le 12:30 e il locale era già pieno, con un gruppetto di persone che aspettavano. Fortunatamente i nostri amici hanno prenotato in anticipo. Il menù è diviso in categorie ed è molto ampio con diverse scelte, tra zuppe caldi, vari tipi di carne, noodles, fried rice e altro. Noi abbiamo preso vari piatti. Alcuni che consiglio e altri un po’ meno. La zuppa di wonton è abbastanza buona, 5 ravioli in un brodo dal sapore delicato. Mentre i stir fried hor fun noodles con il manzo non lo erano proprio. Di quest’ultimo piatto si sentiva proprio il sapore di bruciato della salsa di soia e la pasta di per sé non avevano consistenza. Un’altra portata che sapeva di bruciato era il beef sirloin cubes with black pepper, abbiamo mangiato un pezzo di carne a testa per poi lasciarlo così com’era. Anche il HK style Prawn Toast è stato una delusione. Praticamente paghi più di 14 euro per del pane fritto con due gamberi di numero. Altri piatti che abbiamo assaggiato sono stati gli okra saltati con i fagioli neri, un misto speciale di 4 pietanze diverse e il triplo bbq. Gli okra erano ok, fortunatamente non sapevano di bruciato. Il misto speciale d’oeuvres era composto da 4 diversi assaggi. Un buon modo per assaggiare diverse cose in piccole quantità. I fish ball al curry non erano male, la consistenza era buona ma al sapore mancava qualcosa. Le alette di pollo fritto buone. Nel complesso non lo consiglio. La cucina non è autentica di HK, ha più un gusto occidentalizzato. Il rapporto qualità prezzo non è calibrato bene, tenendo conto anche della location. Pagate tantissimo per del cibo che non ne vale la pena.

Después de haber pasado siglos caminando y escudriñando la oferta en China Town nos topamos con Los Ocho y tan contentos que lo hicimos! Sus ocho entremeses mezclados eran deliciosos, no la ofrenda frita habitual, con sabores individuales. El cerdo agridulce y el filete con cebolla de primavera y jengibre también sublime. Totalmente recomiendo - será nuestro ir a ahora, mejor que hakkasan con un gran servicio también!

Nous n’y etions pas revenu depuis octobre et c’est tjrs aussi bon. C’etait pour déjeuner. Nous avons fait un peu la queue (l’attente etait de 15min en tout) et faute de place en haut (au rez de chaussée) nous avons été conduit dans l’une des 2 salles du bas. On a pris 2 won ton soup, des liserons d’eau, des crevettes au gingenbre, et du tofu au poivre de sichuan. C’est un resto Hongkongais très authentique et typique, et surtout excellent

Accueil précipité, on se sent 1 peu bousculé, service rapide, serveurs muets pas tjs sympas mais les plats que nous avons pris étaient bons !

Estoy feliz de escribir esta crítica con "gusto", me trataron bien en este restaurante; la selección de comida estaba en general bien cocinada, me encantó la tortilla, el cerdo asado, pato y pollo, y el plato de mezcla. El postre era rico y tradicional; interesante cómo los chefs nos trajeron una "tostada francesa" reinventada o el alimento básico de Navidad portugués "Rabanada". Hicieron bien el feng shui, y no me sentí lleno, lo que puede suceder personalmente conmigo cuando como comida oriental. Fui con amigos que son habituales cuando visito Londres. Buena comida, ambiente vibrante con un toque folklórico, como en un restaurante de la esquina en Hong Kong, justo como me gusta; el precio era correcto, y lo recomiendo. Inténtalo.

Sur Piccadilly, ce Eight Restaurant (cuisine de Hong Kong) est vraiment une pépite. Nous avons goûté a plus de 10 plats (donc le crispy aromatic duck, le tofu pimenté au poivre de sechuan, du BBQ pork, donc poitrine de porc, etc) et tout fût exquis, excellent surtout le crispy shredded duck que le personnel sur place nous a préparé (dans les pancake, et avec la sauce épaisse). Même les desserts etaient gouteux. Bravo et merci (surtout à Christophe, un local et un habitué qui nous a conseillé ce Eight Restaurant!!!

Recomendado por un amigo de Hong Kong, sabía que era una opción segura. Sin embargo, me impresionó aún más positivamente y colocaría este lugar en el mejor restaurante de cocina asiática en Londres. Entre los platos característicos que esperarías encontrar, como los Fideos de Vientre de Cerdo, el Arroz Asado a la Barbacoa de Pato, los menús ofrecen algunas variantes interesantes e internacionales, como el Espagueti de Pato Asado con Huevo Salado (una versión HK de la Carbonara italiana) y un Bollo de Piña con Satay de ternera, que parece más una hamburguesa. Como puedes ver en las fotos, las porciones también son muy generosas. El ambiente es relajado y el personal muy rápido y amable. El menú es interminable... así que tendré que volver a probar algunas cosas más

Bonitos platos asados. El pato era bueno. Bonito lugar para un plato chino asado rápido. El fideo Beef brisket es muy bueno también. He estado visitando aquí con frecuencia para una comida china rápida y rápida.

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.
