The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving Chinese food

This is not my first time to My Shanghai, but it is the first time I have been in about a decade. The food was great, no complaints there at all. We had a reservation for the start of dinner service and the table we sat at was in the far corner next to the window. The window was open and felt a bit drafty. The server did offer to close it but there was evidence of a condensation problem as there was mould up the walls and around the windows so we didn't want to have it closed for this reason and didn't think it would be too bad. Boy were we wrong. We should've asked for it to be closed as our food went cold very quickly. As our meal went on, we did also think it was odd that they sat a reservation table in the corner by an open window at the beginning of dinner service when it wasn't too busy. The mould on the walls was also a tad bit odd putting as it did look like it had been cleaned previously, but not recently. Again, everything else was great just the atmosphere could be definitely improved with addressing the condensation issue and cleaning the mould.

The waiter was rude. I asked for an unused chair at the adjacent table to place the fresh vegetables I just bought at the market. This simple request was immediately rejected by the waiter. A four-person table cannot have five chairs. Four guests must sit on a four-person table. Even if there are other Jitaiji chairs, they are not available. The solution is to put fresh vegetables on the ground or on the table. We chose to use half a table for four to place the fresh vegetables we just bought. The food quality was also worse than before. I ordered a dish of roasted noodles with dried crab meat, but what I got was fried noodles with shredded crab meat and onions.

Got the Special Curry with rice, Large portion of the Four Meats and a side of egg fried rice and salt and pepper chips. The Special curry was easily the best ive ever eaten, The four meats yet again were top tier and despite the angry reviews about people saying it's served cold, that's how it is meant to be served and that's how it is best eaten. If it had been heated up it wouldn't have been as nice as it was so just accept that fact and stop complaining. Salt and Pepper chips were fresh and tasted perfect, aswell as the rice. Top notch👏

A very authentic hotpot restaurant that my family and I like very much👍

Food was very average for the price. The curry was just sauce plonked on chicken. Noodles lacked flavour. Although quite quiete for mothers day, we felt rushed with them trying to clear our plates when not fully finished. I haven't eaten here for years and won't be in a hurry to return. Standard food, slightly overpriced!

Fantastic place, working away, forget the negative reviews, food portions large, including the starters, tasty and staff, owners were fantastic, I will be back 😀

Excellent dim sum and the excellent menu choice was very good too. The restaurant was pretty full which is always a good sign so it’s always essential to book. The staff are friendly and very efficient. The restaurant has a good size car park.

Great food, free parking, what's not to like 😀 The sizzling beef is well worth a try

Great food and service , the all you can eat banquet was brilliant. You get a choice of 6 starters bought to you , so you can try a few , and a choice of mains all kept hot .

Great service, hotel and restaurant.

No te molestes con este pub que piensan que son un restaurante caro con estrella Michelin a juzgar por los precios y el tamaño de los platos. Pedí un vino tinto medio también y me cobraron £ 12. 50!!! y el barero incluso llenó la unidad de medida (175 ml) así que pagué de más y ni siquiera recibí lo que pagué... y una botella de agua por £ 5. 50... ridículo.

Peppercorn squid is lovely. Nice rice and chicken curry and spring rolls. Chicken balls can be hit and miss

Don’t even bother! Never met such RUDE staff in my life! Decided to go here for my son’s birthday. We had a 2 year old child that doesn’t eat more than about 2 chicken nuggets but yet they wanted to charge me £6 despite 10 full paying adults. The so called manager argued and shouted and said ‘child not eat!’ I said she is 2 years old and can quite happily have a chicken nugget off my plate. But that wasn’t good enough for miss snooty! So she decided to stand the other side of the restaurant and stare at us for the whole duration. All they are interested in is filling the till and ushering you out the door. You are on a time limit which makes you feel very uncomfortable. The staff are so rude it’s unbelievable. Can’t buy 1 drink as they have a minimum spend of £10 for a card. Yet more proof they only want to fill the till. So due to the rudeness and the principle of £6 for a 2 year old to have 2 chicken nuggets they have lost any further business from my family. Just look at the reviews for a true picture of this shocking place. It’s not like there are just 1 or 2 poor reviews!

Service is great. Food is the best we’ve ever tasted. Second visit and will be returning as soon as we can. Cocktails were immaculate.

You have to ring and book. We went on a Saturday and it was busy. But I must say everyone was extremely efficient. Also very pleasant and polite. We went to the griffin opposite for drinks. Recommend choosing tiger beer here also. My hubby got calling and it wasn’t great but tiger beer was good. Will definitely be returning. Every time we drive past the car park is full.
