The best restaurants serving Chinese food in London

Highly disappointed with our evening. It is a cold evening and therefore we were wearing big coats and we had to ask staff if there was a cloakroom. Not a great start already! Following this, the food was brought out so quickly and therefore not allowing us to enjoy each dish. In addition, after rushing our starters, mains and dessert, we were told we had to quickly give up the table for the next guests who weren't anywhere to be seen. They couldn't be quick enough to send us on our way! Given the price, you would think service would be on point but it was an utter disappointment. This was a dinner to celebrate a birthday and they did not make it special at all. Shall not be recommending nor shall I ever be going back.

I recently returned to this restaurant after a long time, I met up with a group of friends which we meet yearly. My visit was so impressive that I jad no choice but to again visit once again with a different group of friends. I have been a fan of this place for more than 20 years. The owner is a lovely person and has always had a great and polite staff team. The food is always exactly how I remember it every time I return. No sub standard here. I recommend the buffet.

Lovely food and drink in a great atmosphere. We was looked after proper good. Nice one thanks. Will come again soon and be back.

This place really goes above and beyond to STEAL YOUR MONEY. They took a deposit of £300, no service provided and will not issue my refund. I had a private event booked, confirmed and deposit paid for 09/12/2023. The restaurant stopped replying to all emails and phone calls from a week beforehand. This resulted in going down in person to sort out any issues. Turns out there had been closed for a while, Elaine (owner) and Tanvir (no clue what his role is) did not bother to communicate anything and had I not shown up prior I would have been standing in the street with 20+ guests. Did I mention they have stolen and refused to refund my £300 deposit??

Triple crown of excellent starters/mains/desserts. Very impressed with all the dishes and will be coming back. Service from Rafi was on point and friendly. Thank you.

Its ok to visit, but dont expect too much. Its busy and its all about just restaurants. Some decoration on the street and a nice gate. You can defo dine here very cheap, just to say something positive.

I had visited the other branch (Marble Arch), last year so was happy to visit this one, albeit nervous as it was a Birthday dinner for 7. We got a variety of starters and mains and everyone commented on how fresh and tasty everything was! Service was mainly good-one gent looked like he didn’t want to be there but ok otherwise. I think prices are fair for size. It’s also pan Asian, not Thai

Excellent as normal, our fav Chinese, best dishes are the starters plus lemon chicken & smoked chicken, staff always good/helpful/friendly,

Still remains one of my favourite restaurants of all time. Haven’t been able to go for a while & after reading some recent (not so great) reviews on here I was worried things had changed, but they haven’t- still as good as ever. Yes inflation means they have increased their prices but at £32 a head I think is pretty good value for money. All you can eat, cooked to order fresh off the menu. It doesn’t get much better than that. The food is delicious, fresh, hot, served super fast & great quality. Have been coming here for easy 10 years now & even though I keep moving further away, I always end up travelling far to come here. Came midweek with a friend, we were here for almost 4 hours. We didn’t feel rushed at all, staff are friendly. Already looking forward to my next date night here!

Siamo entrati in questo locale famoso per i propri bun, al che ci sediamo al tavolo proprio per ordinarli e provarli. Ne prendiamo di diversi gusti, il bun era completamente insapore, gommoso, quasi immasticabile ed odorava di farina, segno di una cottura pressoché inesistente. Alcuni ripieni erano accettabili come quello di carne, alcuni come i gamberi sembrava di ingerire plastichina. Dopodiché abbiamo provato una porzione di gyoza, letteralmente 3 pezzi minuscoli che avevano gli stessi difetti del bun. Rimane un locale pessimo solo ben sponsorizzato.

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!

Great food and service. Would recommend this restaurant as the best Chinese restaurant In Greater London. Can’t wait to return.

Food was amazing, so good I order 2 extra times to try more food. I love the chicken boa really good size portion and has enough spicy and zing to it. I then tried the chicken wings wow. They were so yum and had this homemade chilli sauce. I then got the pork and prawn wonton that the waitress said is handmade and got the ribs. All of it was 10/10 Highly recommend it. They have bubble tea too.

Estaba bien. Incluso con una reserva nos sentaron en una larga mesa con extraños. Los fideos eran sosos. Nada bueno o malo o especial sobre la comida o el servicio. El ambiente era un poco rápido - comida. Observamos al personal empacando las sobras de otra mesa y limpiándose la nariz al mismo tiempo. No es una hermosa experiencia limpia.

Housesitting for a friend in Sutton. We found this delightful place. Lively atmosphere. Very friendly staff. Excellent service and delicious food. Great Cava too!
