The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving Chinese food

We have visited The Spice Exchange many times and never been disappointed. The restaurant is spacious, the tables elegant, with freshly laundered cloths. The food is always delicious: well cooked meat, fish & vegetables, with tasty sauces flavoured with different spices. On top of that, the service is amazing: professional yet friendly; individual yet detached. We always feel like welcome guests, in a huge family home where they remember our names and preferences, and offer the best advice when we can’t decide what we want. Definitely we recommend this restaurant 100%.

Food was amazing! Great service and reasonable prices.

Hello . Special chow mein 85% nuddle and few slices of pork and chicken. No veg ,not much meat. Not recommended. First and last time I have been there. Lots of better Chinese restaurants around.

The deal I had was large can't moan at that. But with out a doubt the WORST bbq sauce I've ever had. Absolutely no taste to it what so ever and definitely should not be called bbq. Ruined the hole meal

We nipped in for a birthday meal after hearing good things about the restaurant. We were to be honest a little underwhelmed when we walked in as it was quite cold and a little uninviting, but after sitting down we changed our minds quickly. The staff are very friendly and attentive, the service swift and on point. The food is cooked to order and amazing. Hot, fresh, tasty and generous portions. The salt & pepper squid is to die for and the crispy lamb and pancakes was great too. The crispy chilli beef is one of the best I've had and certainly packs a punch. Definitely not the last time we will visit

been coming to this restaurant for about 10 yrs and has always consistently good not a cheap eats kind of place but service food and quality has been good but went recently and has gone downhill food not anywhere near the standard it used to be portions smaller less meat or fish and flavours nothing like they should be im not a food critic but go to Chinatown a lot and all the main we had at bejing palace tasted the same base sauce of hot chilli wouldnt recommend ever again which is sad

I had dinner here with family here one evening. The staff were friendly & the service quick. The food was freshly cooked & delicious. The portion sizes are generous. The rice is easily enough for 2 people to share. It's not the cheapest, but well worth the price. I'd thoroughly recommend a visit.

Myself and family have used this chinese as far back as I can remember and I can honestly say I've never tasted better, and we've tryed a few!!! Only accepting cash and not doing a delivery service is annoying but it's definitely worth going to pick up the food 👌

Highly recommend, one of the best Chinese restaurants/ takeaways in the area.

Honestly, the taste and the portions here are bigggg! I love their Grill Box! It's a flavour package. Just wow!

Been taken over and it is definitely loads better Food was really nice couldn't fault it Everything was fresh and piping hot

My third visit to this restaurant. The staff are very friendly, welcoming and helpful. The food was nice and hot and very tasty . A most enjoyable evening and very reasonably priced. Would highly recommend.

I've ordered here before but the duck tonight was outstanding- best takeaway duck i've ever had - little fat, crispy and substantial - good job!

The food was as lovely as ever, as we had moved away we had not visited for a fes years & the food is as good as ever. Sorry to hear you are closing we wish you all the best gor the future.

UPDATE: We became regulars here until 2020 and were very sad indeed to dscover that it has closed its doors. A real loss to anyone who enjoys first quality Japanese food! This is one of the best Japanese restaurants in London but it is so authentic that you need a guide. The sushi is good, the usual menu items are very good but if you really want to eat well you need to choose from the blackboard with the day's dishes chalked up in Japanese. Marinated squid guts and tuna cheek are delicious and so genuine: you could be in a very good local restaurant in Japan. These kind of dishes are not found in most London Japanese restaurants and this is why Sakana Tei is special. Grab a Japanese or literate Chinese friend and treat them in return for choosing the delicious surprises you would normally miss!
