The best restaurants serving Chinese food in London

I made the mistake of ordering grilled fish. Apparently I was supposed to have told the waiter when ordering that I did not want the fish too dry. The grilled fish was hard and dry. It was a waste of money and response from the guy who served us was very unprofessional even though he was a likeable character. Won't be going back here.

Tried for first time on 27/10/24 and loved it! Proper old school Chinese takeaway - had a spring roll, sweet and sour pork and a house special chop suey. Very generous portions, competitive prices and friendly service. It is cash only but that is no problem to me. I'll be back!

This has been our local Chinese since the 90's! The food is always fresh, a good sized portion and very decent pricing. The lady at the front of house keeps to herself but is polite and helpful.

It's a family run business always get good service always get good food it's a good takeout in my opinion

ordered takeaway received the wrong order, and the food was replaced with tasteless cold food, no apology all it matters to the restaurant is to get back the wrong food, and will never use inferior food and service again.

I tried special family meal ( value for money) which normally takes time to prepare when it's busy time. Food was delicious , staff are friendly and kind. They ask feedback regarding food to improve in quality and service. Love to order again.

Nothing to do with the test of Chinese food Far to expensive what it is it is not a place for value

The best Chinese food in London without doubt. Michael and his team are utterly brilliant - the service is impeccable, and the atmosphere exactly what you want. 10/10

We order from here ALOT but tonight it was absolutely awful. The chips all had black bits in it and were so dry like they had been microwaved! The beef curry was so gristly, I couldn’t eat it. The rice was over cooked and mushy! I think it was all put in a microwave and just heated up! Awful!

Restaurant claim a driver came I think they went to wrong address as they did not ring my buzzer. No one apologised the same food was sent back so quality was poor arrived almost an hour after restaurant claims they 1st delivered.

Wow I’ve been looking for a good Chinese since moving around here definitely found it. I didn’t expect the sweet & sour chicken to be soo good and flavourful also the egg fried rice is yummy. The portions are large aswell. You 100% get your moneys worth!

Quality and quantity of food from May's is always spot on!

Seriously guys I’ve been eating Chinese a lot of places but this is the untested place ever 😡😡😡🤬🤬

I like to be pampered by my surroundings when I go out for a special meal, which I always hope a two Michelin star restaurant is going to provide. In this occasion you walk into a noisy room and are immediately taken downstairs for the start of your ‘journey’ to, as has been described previously, a shabby bar, where you are offered a range of champagnes. There was no ‘would you like a drink in the bar first, or shall we take you straight to your table?’ and no choice of aperitif offered. This felt like unnecessary pressure (given the cost is already £220 per head) to spend more money. I also suspect that our table wasn’t ready as we then waited some time in the bar perched on uncomfortable bar stools. When we were taken to our table, our ‘journey’ was explained to us and the meal began to arrive. Everything was described in detail - what order to eat things in, which cutlery to use, and we were corrected if we were seen to be doing it ‘wrong’. The presentation of the food was exquisite and the work which went into its preparation and the staff required to maintain this standard is evident. The ingredients are undoubtedly of high quality. Each of the six ‘courses’ comprise an number individual mouthfuls, all beautifully explained, the region, the composition, spices, etc. At the end of the day, did I enjoy the food ? It was certainly interesting and I enjoyed some components more than others and, as I have already said, the work which goes into such beautiful food and presentation is clear. However, for me, I would rather have a few more substantial dishes, where I can really taste and appreciate the flavours, than 30 mouthfuls, each a lovely bite in itself but quickly forgotten as the next morsel is presented. Was it worth the money ? For the food - probably; the ambiance - no. It was an interesting experience but I wouldn’t return.

Indo-Chinese and North Indian cuisine of exceptional quality.
