Young Cheng Chinese in City of London, Westminster

We had dinner on 11/23; At the time of paying in the note itself they put a 12% tip, but when loading the card they added 10% more. EYE! with whatever they carry; I said it but it didn't matter. Total I paid a 22% tip. Be careful tourists!

Absolutely amazing food, very polite and service, thank you 1.12.2024

Have dined here a few times over the years and it has been lovely. Sadly the last few times we’ve been we have encountered rude staff and poor standards of food which will mean we won’t return. The prices have increased dramatically too (nearly £20 for a small Bowl of curry or a plate of stir fried vegetables) and is extremely over priced for what you get. Our waitress was very rude and left us for a long time before ordering. Real shame in the decline in service as we have enjoyed nice meals here previously

Out of the 10 days of exploring UK foods, this was the best restaurant we visited. As Singaporeans, our taste buds didn’t fancy the subpar fish and chips or steaks served at English restaurants. The Roasted Duck 烧鸭 and Stir-Fried Beef Noodles, and the Prawn Dumplings (HaGao) were so flavourful and suited our Singaporean tastebuds perfectly. I would suggest you ignore the outrageously low-star rating on this restaurant (as of writing it’s 3.8 stars), and come visit!

Cosy atmosphere & walking frame accessible. Lovely attentive service. Food 10/10. Deserves higher reviews honestly. We had the crispy mushrooms, soft shell crab with oatmeal, roast duck & the braised beef brisket with rice. Everything was delicious!

Very polite, fast service. The food is delicious, generous portions. The Chinese I can recommend beers.

Ate here after a full day on our feet walking round London. The service was incredible, the waiter was really friendly and gave us advice on what to order, and how big the portions would be. He even said not to order two portions of rice, as the one from the set meal for two would be big enough for the three of us. The beef and broccoli in black pepper sauce was honestly one of the nicest things I’ve ever tasted! It cost £125 for three people, with *loads* of food, we couldn’t complain. Would definitely eat here again, wonderful place.

Great Hong Kong style food and atmosphere! We ordered a variety of food and each dish was superb! My favourite was the sweet n sour pork ! Service is excellent and they are very attentive! Highly recommend

A lovely Chinese restaurant in Chinatown, Soho.

Food is very well presented. Most disappointed with the honey pork, should have been in a clear coating of a sauce, not black sauce coating. However taste alright. Friendly staff and a clean restaurant. ********************* Re-visited New Young Cheng. Improvement with the food. Service is excellent as always, staff kept your Chinese tea topped-up. No wet tissue/mint after meal though with 12.5% service charge included. Got charge extra on bill as price on menu does not match printed bill.

Very very good 👍 yum yum in my tum tum nice nice dim sum and nice service

Avoid this place. I am not exaggerating when I say that this was the worst Chinese food I have ever had. The staff are lovely. But I think that I would be lovely if I was raking in money whilst ripping people off. Honestly, the worst!

The food was reasonable but the overall experience was let down by one dish being cold and another much later than the others. In fact the starters also didn't turn up together either. Not particularly attentive service either. Update: the restaurant replied asking me to contact them. I emailed and was ignored. Feels like they just wanted to be seen to listen when in reality they didn't.

Disgusting dinner. Nastiest dumplings ever. How far this place has fallen. Never again.

Good food and friendly staff 🥰 Dim Sum and Barbecue roasted very tasty 😋 Try it ! 👍👍👍

I loved the chicken balls with sweet and sour sauce. The beef noodles and prawn dumplings were great! The service was very friendly and you have to try it!

Top experience, people are so nice! Strongly recommend

Dumplings are delicious! Soup was average, but I took spicy-sour soup for the first time ever and maybe this is just not for me:)

steam fish is good , very friendly services

Marvelous! Not only was it super delicious but they took great care to ensure that everything was gluten free! The waiter's attention has been spectacular! I have never been in a place where being celiac feels easy and you can enjoy everything 100%!

Best pork belly I've had in a long time. Also very fast and friendly service.

Picked this restaurant for another dinner while we were in London. Decent dishes and good service. We had a window table on 2nd floor with a pretty view, where you could see all the red lanterns close up and the busy streets below.

Great service and staff. The food is delicious and a reasonable price. Very much recommend

The food was absolutely delicious and reminds me of the food in Hong Kong (coming from someone from Hong Kong). The service was exceptional. Highly recommend! Good prices, generous portions.

Good quality food, superb service, reasonable prices. We ordered a quarter crispy duck which was shredded perfectly at the table. Then we had Prawns in garlic and Chilli, Stir Fried Beef in Sa Cha Sauce with Kai Lan, egg fried rice and Chow mein, all good quality and tasty

Spent my last day walking around and we walked into this place. Food and service was amazing, the service was so good and very friendly, the food was definitely amazing. Will certainly be back soon.

Knew we wanted to eat in Chinatown but no idea where. Greeted by a friendly member of staff. No pressure when looking at the menu. Sat outside. Staff lovely and attentive but not intrusive. Food was amazing and great portions. Nothing too much trouble. Thank you all and would highly recommend.

Great dim sum, outdoor seating, reasonable price. Good service. Would recommend

Allechés par la vitrine oú l'on voit des clients se servir au buffet 'illimité' à 15£, on rentre! Erreur! Usine assez infâme! - inconfort des tables type gargote - personnel beuglant sans cesse au talkie du rdc à l'étage pour signaler les places qui se libèrent, suivi sur un écran - dame qui casse de la glace dans un sac avec fracas pendant 10 min Oubliez les toilettes puantes et les tas de vaisselles dans les caisses en plastiques etc. La nourriture du coup, bien miserable, peu variée, grasse etc. Le tout pour 40 € à 2 avec 2 canettes. Soirée ratée, mauvais souvenir.

Don’t let these 5 star reviews fool you, the food was terrible. The food was cold, the place is extremely cramped. They have an upstairs seating area but you literally have to go downstairs to get food then go up. The food had absolutely no flavour, spring rolls were HARD. Never knew you could go wrong with Jelly but somehow they did. Absolutely terrible, cold flavourless food. One of the members I came with asked if we could be seated downstairs as I have leg issues and they said no, despite there being no one seated there at the time. 0/10, would most definitely not go back and anyone who says the food was good, is lying horribly!

Myself, a friend and my girlfriend were on holiday in London and while walking through Chinatown we found this restaurant after many visits and it seemed excellent, both in terms of atmosphere and location. The restaurant is welcoming, clean and the waiters are friendly and courteous. The food was truly excellent, truly plentiful and full of flavour. I would stay here again on my next holiday in London. Highly recommended

been here so many times but always forget to do the review. firstly the people are so friendly even under pressure from being a very busy restaurant food is so tasty and portions are very generous indeed in probably the six times i have been its never been less than 100%. fully recommend this restaurant

The best chicken wings I have ever had! (Salt and pepper wings). The service was so friendly and attentive and all the dishes we tried were delicious. There was so much choice in China Town but I'm glad we chose here. I highly recommend a visit!

Amazing selection of food, meat was very good quality

Service was excellent, and the food was outstanding! We picked this restaurant because there was a delightful young lady outside asking us to come in. We’re so glad we did! Wish we were in London longer, we’d be there every day. We will tell the Hotel Concierge how great the restaurant is, and hopefully they’ll direct more guests to your wonderful restaurant.

They are very kind, friendly and have very generous portions. A great site. We will repeat without a doubt.

Food was average at best but worst of all my 16yr old the had won ton soup has been vomiting for the last 3 hours. All has eaten is a croissant for breakfast and this Chinese meal. He told me afterwards the the prawns were crunchy. Be careful what you order!

Me he sentido engañada. Fui a cenar con mi hijo y me dijeron que solo admitían dinero. Tuve que ir a sacar a un cajero con lo que supone el gasto de comisiones al estar en el extranjero. Cuando vuelvo veo que a todo el mundo le cobran con tarjeta. Se conoce que hay clases, y en este sitio se ríen de los extranjeros. Muy mala experiencia

Really good food. We recommend the duck it is amazing and good. Service was really respectful and nice!

Traditional Chinese restaurant, located in said neighborhood of the city of London. It has a very diverse menu. Extra costs usually apply to the prices listed on the menu outside. The dishes are abundant and well prepared. I suggest accompanying the meals with the Chinese tea that they offer in a teapot.

Went for dinner with friends, overall the food was delicious and well portioned and staff were friendly. However the waitress serving our table gave average service, nothing bad but not great either such as reaching over right in front of you whilst still eating to clear plates without saying “excuse me” or the like. My friends didn’t want to pay the service charge, so after working out how we’d spilt the bill and paying for our food and drinks, the waitress claimed we had no choice but to pay the “gratuity” charge and said it was stated in the menu that 12.5% would be added to each bill. In the menu itself it clearly states that a “discretionary” gratuity charge is added to the bill, meaning it is not mandatory to pay it. Whilst I appreciate it is very common place in London for service charges to be added on and I’m usually happy to pay it, my friends didn’t want to pay it and we explained to the waitress that it’s not mandatory to pay it as stated in the menu. Eventually we ended up paying the charge but it is unethical and clearly a tourist trap to insist the service charge be paid. I have lived in London and worked in a pub and know you are not obliged to pay the service or “gratuity” charge. So beware and stand your ground

We ate here and were happy. The French beans spicy were really delicious. The shao mai were good and up to standard. All the other dim sums we ordered were also good. It is worth coming here. Service was great, our young waiter was friendly and helpful. Worth coming.

honestly the worst place to eat, the atmosphere was making me feel anxious because of how loud it was and i felt very uncomfortable, the food hygiene was not good i found a piece of hair in my food which was a big red flag for me 🚩, the service was alright i guess but i dont recommend it and i went home which a sick tummy!

When you go pay the bill includes a 13% gratuity but the waiter will still insist you pay a large tip to them. I call that a scam and deserving of one star.

This is a nice small eatery on the quieter side of London Chinatown. We ordered four dim sums between two of us. Quality was good. The standard quality bearer prawn dumplings were smaller than most, but delicious & fresh. The fact that it’s not standard size might also indicate that the dumplings were made in-house rather than bought. Shredded duck spring rolls were great. Skin a bit burnt but very moorish. Beef cheung fun & glutinous rice were not bad though there was no surprise. Just one snag is fillings in glutinous rice which can be a bit more generous. Service was good. Waiters were all professional, prompt & helpful. We weren’t shuffled a bill straight after we finish. My main criticism is probably deco. All seems a bit too plain & bland.

We had a fantastic meal here on Friday night and we will be back next week, the portions were large and everything was super tasty, we could not finish the crispy aromatic duck and we asked for it all to be delivered together which made it a quick and delicious meal! Fantastic experience

Food and portions in this restaurant were good. Although we wont be returning because we received the bill and requested politely to the waitress that we would like the OPTIONAL service charge removed as it was almost another £10.00 extra on top of the bill. She refused and said it states this on the menu and it is compulsory for you to pay so refused to remove it. Another member of staff intervened and told us the only place you do not pay service charge is McDonalds - oh please don't insult my intelligence - I am from the UK and very intelligent might I add!! We told them by law you do not need to pay this charge as this is optional but staff continually refused. We wont be returning.

Bland Food / A Bit Overpriced / Was looking forward to the Duck/Was Dry and a Little Burned. wouldn't recommend to anyone !

Great food, highly recommend, great prices. Delicious Dim sum.

The fried noodles are unusually thin (for us), large portions but only garnished with a little meat. Spicey chicken with lots of chilli! But not brutally sharp. The chicken pieces were WITH bones! That's no fun! Overall: just average

Really good food and quantities. Inside seating is basic but not too bad.

Amazing restaurant for Chinese food lovers! The staff sit you down quick and orders don’t take long either. Food was excellent quality - I recommend the Beef noodles, peking duck rolls and the radish spring rolls. I enjoyed the food so much. I recommend this place if you visit China town.

**update** We finally got back although it was an entire year later! The place was just as good as I remember if not better! We tried a couple of different menu items this time 😍 amazing! We will be back nearer Christmas. Added another photo but it’s not as good as we just wanted to dive in and nearly forgot to take one 😁 Our first time trying this place on our trip to London. It was so good 😊 the flavours were good the staff were polite and friendly. This is going to be our go to place every time we visit London. Can’t wait to go back in a couple of months!

Second time here, the food is amazing, we will be back when we visit London again!

Lovely lunch spot in China town - have no complaints. The food was so fresh and light which left us with a nice feeling and not feeling heavy and bloated, even 6 pancakes down! The crispy aromatic duck pancakes were gorgeous and the mushroom chow mein was perfectly done. Highly recommend for a quiet lunch spot.

Had a wonderful meal here, really fast service, food was delicious & a vast selection of familiar dishes on the menu along with some house specials. Bit pricey (+12.5% tip auto added) but by the time we'd enjoyed our meal, we were happy to pay what we were charged. We ordered: Chow Mein, Chilli Green Beans, Satay Chicken, Crispy Pork Belly, Crispy Chilli Beef, Crispy Seaweed & Prawn Crackers. The chillis in the green beans were hard & inedible but they were easily avoided & everything else was perfect. Can't believe we didn't get any photos of our food but it all looked so fantastic, we just got cracking as soon as it arrived & didn't give it another thought! We ate outside so can't comment on atmosphere or cleanliness inside. Would definitely recommend & seek out this restaurant next time we're in the area.

Food is average but comfy seats and good service.

Felt really rushed and forced to pay gratuity of £4

Legendary place. Always great food, great staff and great prices. Been eating here for 30-40 years, only 2-5 times a year for birthdays, but always a nice time and well looked after. Thank you 🙏

I came here for the first time with my boyfriend,I have to say all the staff there was EXTREMELY friendly, one of the lovely lady gave us the mango dessert to try and it was THE BEST DESSERT I EVER HAD SO FAR. Besides it being very delicious it shocked us that the portion size was very big and worth it.

Very good food, great prices, good service, good location! And not too crowded! AAA+++! Thank you!

The food was ok, not particularly good or excessive. There's a different way to be sustainable, I don't think you have to use (Cola) cans in a restaurant. But what really bothered me was that someone from the service staff kept reaching over the table and the plates during the meal, for example to shake the stupid Coke can and see if it was empty and could be cleared away.

I have no idea why their ratings are so low.The food is delicious and the waiters are very friendly especially Selena 👍🏻

Went to this restaurant while visiting London. Food was delicious. Service was good.

Absolutely ripped off here. By careful ordering

Food quality has dropped significantly. Sad to say. Service on the other hand has improved

Superb food. I'm very happy. We were warned that not all Chinese restaurants serve the food we enjoy in Soho. Especially having lived in Malaysia for over 30 years. But wow, the food was amazing. It really hit the spot. We will certainly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an authentic Chinese meal.

Traditional Hong Kong / Canton style dish. Authentic taste. Very friendly staff. Nicely decorated place. Absolutely the best place for HK/ Canto dish!

Food was delicious and the service were really nice, I went with friends and they kindly set up the table outside. They added 12% service and there was transparency with the payment. We paid separately.

2nd visit to new young Cheng, service was perfect food was fantastic highly recommended egg fried rice was one of the best only downer was given the bill seconds after i eaten with my daughter apart from that it was very clean and like i mentioned food was outstanding

Tasty and reasonable portions. 3 stars given due to scummy and deceitful billing practices. We were brought our bill, which the server deliberately tried to hide from us, and presented with a card machine on the screen requesting a tip. We always tip 10% and despite the bill being a bit higher than I was expecting, we tipped 10%. I then asked the server for the copy of the bill she was holding and, after initially trying to walk away with it, she gave it to me revealing that a 12.5% gratuity had already been applied to the bill, and we had tipped an extra 10% on top when presented with the card machine. If you're going to add a 12.5% tip to your own bills, don't present card machines to customers that also ask for a tip while hiding this from them. Really scummy.

The staff were extremely helpful and pleasant. The food was really excellent. It was a super famy meal.

Amazing place with great food! I really enjoyed the meal and the service! Highly recommend that place to visit!

The food and service was absolutely outstanding. Can't fault the attentiveness of the staff always ready to help, nothing was to much. We had SET MENU A and was left full up. £25 for the menu was absolutely amazing the quality off the food and service is amazing. Would recommend to anyone looking for an authentic Hong Kong meal!

Visited here again after it has undergone renovation and serving personnel were too quick to request cash payment up front, before we had the opportunity to get our food. This was very bad practice from the management. Selection of food was very good ,lots of choices of meat dishes and veggie ones which were very freshly prepared. Buffet was £15.00 each

The best Chinese food I've had so far. Super delicious and they serve you very quickly. Steve's attention was excellent. Without a doubt I would return 1000 times more.

The food was bad, but the turntable was great. Indistinct use of technical language English.

Delicious food. I became friends with my friend Steve.

If you're looking for a decent Chinese buffet in London, best to avoid this place. Rude service and they make you pay in advance. The buffet is bland and tasteless with slimy chicken and fatty greasy beef. What's more I was very ill following my visit here. Best to avoid!

I had the salt and pepper prawns. The prawns were actually really nice and nicely seasoned. What really put me off though was the shop bought sweet chilli sauce. So all in all it was a bit underwhelming. I asked if I could have the 12.5% service charge removed so I could choose how much I wanted to tip but was told that that was not possible.

A little rushed because it was close to closing. Food was fast and fresh. Staff was kind and courteous

Fantastic Chinese Restaurant in Chinatown. Our daughter was recently diagnosed with coeliac disease but loves Chinese food. We have struggled to find any restaurants locally that cater for Gluten free customers so visited Chinatown. After 3/4 unsuccessful attempts at other chinese restaurants checking if they could provide a gluten free dish we stumbled upon this restaurant. There was a significant selection for gluten free customers, including chow mein dishes. They even brought out a separate gluten free soya sauce, and the gluten free dish was cooked separately and bought out first. The food and service for our whole family was fantastic and we would certainly highly recommend this restaurant, especially for diners looking for GF Chinese options.

We went there last week as a group with a baby. The staff were so friendly and attentive. They knew about all the food we queried and could find out if they wasn’t sure. Our new favourite place to eat in China Town.

Great food and service, but very noisy

Had a great Chinese meal recently while visiting London and in China Town. Really nice area situated on Lisle Street. Very efficient staff who kindly sat us outside first and then helped us move inside as there was a very badly behaved child next to us. Good Menu with plenty to choose from. The food was great and I am a regular visitor to China and the Far East. Fully Recommended!

Great food, but a bit oily. Great atmosphere. Great service, reasonable price. Unfortunately, a flys flew in my food. 🥲🥲

Really enjoyed the food here. I had pork and prawn dumplings and chicken with asparagus and XO sauce. The vegetables were really well cooked. Nice staff too with very efficient service.

I’ve had a terrible experience here , I came for a meal with my friends and the food was making me feel Ill after a couple bites and once I complained I was told it was my fault and they recieve to give any compensation . Food from buffet was also extremely cold

A good Chinese buffet restaurant where they serve wide options at a reasonable price. The restaurant serves buffet from lunch till dinner. You need to pay first before you go to serve yourself some food. Check the images for more information.

The service was great and prompt. Food was tasteful and well made. Just what was needed after a long day in London.

Amazing dim sum, with your mom and pops feel but refined! Freshly made to order and delicious!! Totally recommend it!!!

I was recommended by a friend to try this place and it was such a treat! We ordered too many dishes but they were all so delicious that i am glad we tried them all! My favorite were the fried soft shell crab and roast duck 😋 must visit in Chinatown and reasonably priced too

Great value and great staff. Drinks are very well priced.

The owner made good memories. You are so kind and gentle. The staff were all friendly too. I had a very happy time here with my sisters ❤️

The owner is very kind and please continue to take good care of me ^^ Shrimp dim sum is so delicious! If you go to London's Chinatown, this is a restaurant where you can have a pleasant experience. It's a great dim sum restaurant!

Lovely and friendly staffs and delicious food ever.

We were hungry and tired, the restaurant next door which was recommended in our guide was crowded so we settled on this one. Service was ok, food was average, for a high price.

Fantastic food, our local takeaway won’t be the same now after eating here.

Good restaurant to eat Asian specialties, the service is fast, the meals are good but nothing more, rather expensive

Cooking... It's okay, not sure if it's homemade. Pretty nice service except for a waiter who pushed too much, that annoyed us (a bottle of water for 4.5 pounds....steal). Brief average
