10 Best restaurants for Chinese in London

Halal Asian cuisine. Formerly Bonda Kitchen

Bonda by Duck & Noodle

Will not return: decent duck but no alcohol.

We’ve
- Ma Po tofu 麻婆豆腐
- Duck noodle

Both are flavorful but slightly sweet, especially the tofu. The noodles are al dente.

This homey Malaysian restaurant is three minutes away from our hotel. After a long day of travel, the soup hits the spot.

The bonna brand porcelain hand-painted tableware from Turkey is quite attractive.

We came here after seeing the great reviews and were not disappointed. The waitress was so kind and welcoming and very helpful in making suggestions. We wanted dumplings and were very happy with the ones we got. They were very reasonably priced. They were delicious. I will definitely come back.

Food and service was exceptional. Abul Talib and his colleague gave us really outstbaidng service on Monday bank holiday. The food was fresh and piping hot. The food was served very quickly. Facilities were outstanding. Prayer room with wudu area and separate clean toilets. Highly recommended. Great place for halal duck and halal dumplings in London.

This is a new branch just 6 days old of the original restaurant Bonda Kitchen round the corner (currently under renovation due for re-opening Sept). We came on a busy lunchtime Easter Monday so the service was somewhat slower than expected but understandable for new staff & kitchen to find their feet. I expect they will improve efficiency over time. The halal Malaysian hawker and Chinese food menu is quite ambitious - there is Peking Duck, Chilli Crab with mantou, lobster and steamed seabass thru to dim sum and classic Malaysian comfort foods like laksa, mamak mee, nasi lemak & wat tan hor egg noodles. Sadly no char kuey teow but as this is usually a pork-based dish so not a surprise.
We tried the hawker foods and they were authentic - recommend the mamak mee, laksa & nasi lemak. The kangkong belacan was surprisingly quite spicy but the rest were mild. Will return once they are more settled to try the Chinese dishes with rice & dim sum. We did meet the owners who explained their concept and passion to deliver good Malaysian food locally. As fellow Malaysians, we wish them every success to bring the best of our cuisine to London (& to homesick Malaysians who miss it!).

Rainy day outside so I came in to order noodle soup, had the Laka with BBQ chicken and mushroom fried rice. The food was amazing, better than expected: Laka was flavorful where you can taste the coconut and the fried rice was filled with egg, mushroom, carrots, and string beans. The meal was wonderful, service was great, and price is very affordable. Highly recommended.

Duck & Noodle

Food- the portion is quite small. The taste was fine - nothing extraordinary. I had to pay £4.80 extra for chilli sauce!!!

Service- inattentive and curt. They include a compulsory service charge of 10%!

Atmosphere- the restaurant was busy and clean.

Duck & Noodle seems like a good choice, especially for those seeking exceptional roast duck or halal Chinese cuisine. However, be aware of potentially mixed reviews on other dishes and service.  Yeah, the roast duck is really delicious, the skin is roasted crispy and the filling is soft. But, the soy sauce is too salty. If you're an Asian person whose portion size is medium and small, each of their dishes can be shared for two people to eat.

Here are some additional tips for finding more information:

Check out their social media pages (if they have any) for updates and customer feedback.
Look for reviews on smaller, more local London restaurant review websites.
Consider reaching out to the restaurant directly to inquire about their menu and service.
I hope this helps!

1. The cross-contamination occurred when the staff wearing yellow gloves went from the washing sink to place some items in it, then touched the plate with his thumb touching the sauce surrounding steamed sea bass. Then brought the dish out of the kitchen. Placed it onto the counter where the other roasted meats were hanged at. Then someone else without gloves bringing it back to the kitchen. Then another staff bringing that same dish out of the kitchen. A kitchen requires a preparation station/washing station/ a serving station to be separated. The staff wearing the yellow gloves touching the washing sink and then touching the plate and dish IS cross contamination. Once the dish has left the kitchen, it shouldn’t be returned back and then brought out again.

2. Initially, my brother left an honest (and continued) review to be as accurate. Check his first review/comment: he said it was not an authentic chinese restaurant/ experience. He has the right as someone who dined there to leave a review of their experience. All 4 of us had an unpleasant experience, but my brother decided to be more vocal and for the first time left a review because of how upset he was - as he was the one who was eager to dine here out of all of us. And he did not leave a racist comment. He merely commented on the ethnicity to prove that he was present as you insinuated that he did not exist in your reply. He (and myself) is half asian himself so please do not twist the chain of events.

3. Yes, dissatisfaction of the food can be improved once you accept the lower starred reviews. That is the whole point. How did I take it to the next level to tarnish your business? You claimed my brother’s review is biased and lame - and again, insinuated he did not exist. Is this the best way to handle negative but honest reviews from your customers? Surely you can do better.

4. Are you implying that it’s “safe enough” and we are merely making a fuss? No. I stopped eating completely once I saw the cross contamination. However, out of pure courtesy and politeness the rest of my family decided to continue to eat as it is food at the end of the day, and there are people who do not have food to eat. So, just because they have that level of good character, they are unreasonable to choose to stay and eat?

5. Sure, to be a successful business owner one should consider all types of reviews; good and bad. Good to encourage the business and the bad ones, to learn reflect and improve. However, calling all the negative reviews as biased (my brother’s comment was not the only one that you replied in this manner) is distasteful. To continue bullying and attacking my brother as non-existent shows others how you handle your business. Do better.

Staff were extremely unprofessional and did not follow hygienic measures; cross contamination between staff and location was dangerous and appalling. Waitress had no idea what was on the menu but tried her best.

Dined here during my postgraduate graduation ceremony visit in London (dated 12Jan2024 at 12.45 -1.50pm). Food was not cooked properly (steamed ginger and soy fish had no ginger, ginger and spring onion beef had ginger but was 80% onion and bland like plain corn starch), unhygienic staff and fish was not fresh.

The owner/management will claim the review is “biased or fake” if they disagree with it, or unless you give a positive review.

I wanted to ignore and not entertain by leaving a review but them leaving rude remarks for my brother who dined with myself and my parents that left an honest and as accurate review to warn others - was not acceptable.

This used to be a place we enjoyed dining at years ago but I suppose it may have been a different owner/management. It used to be a great place to dine with delicious food. Now, we’ve got unprofessional staff and service that give condescending remarks to reviewers who rate them 1 star (see review below me where they claim that the “hairy chicken was due to the ginger”). Really? Where was my ginger in my steamed ginger and soy seabass?

Absolutely delicious! I am really happy I found this place. I ordered half a pecking duck with pancakes which came with hoisin sauce, 2x prawn dumplings, crab flavour xiao long bao and BBQ chicken buns. I was blown away with how amazing the food was. Definitely comforting! The waitresses provided great service and were very friendly.  The atmosphere was awesome, loved the drawings across the walls. It was  such a shame I was too full to try more on the menu. Can't wait to return again.

Food looks amazing but tastes so average not worth the price at all! I've had better stir fry for much cheaper. Personally would not recommend it. Like that its Halal and there is a variety to choose from but just not for my taste.... I was so excited to eat here after getting recommended by my brother did not reach the expectations. They also added the 10% service charge that was not deserved managed to get it refunded.

Real Beijing Food House

It’s starting to get cold in London lately, and this place was just what I needed!  The hotpot buffet is authentic and so comforting.Best part? Each person gets £10 worth of free BBQ skewers with the hotpot! I tried the lamb and chicken wings, all amazing. Such a good deal!

Loved the hot pot here! The Szechuan spicy broth was the perfect flavour, best hot pot broth I’ve had. It was all you can eat and the selection of meats, seafood and veg was very vast. Lots to choose from including lots of offal too. You had to pay for the individual dipping sides which I thought was a bit cheeky as this was more expensive than other hotpots I’ve been too. Though overall it was delicious and very flavoursome. I would come back for that spicy broth alone.

The all-you-can-eat selection is generous and great value for money. Everything tasted super fresh. Definitely my go-to spot for authentic Chinese hotpot in London!

They have the best Beijing style hotpot eat as much as you can! Really decent price and meat quality is very good! Their Beijing style bbq is also impressive! I would definitely come back for more

Perfect spot for a cold London day! The hotpot is authentic Beijing style — rich broth, tender lamb, and tons of fresh veggies, noodles, and meatballs to choose from. Cozy vibes, friendly staff, and great value, especially with their 10th anniversary deal (£10 free BBQ credit!). Definitely coming back!

All of our beef, chicken and lamb dishes are Halal.

Michelin starred Nanyang Chinese Restaurant

Kai Mayfair

I got offered an afternoon tea for my birthday and I was pleasantly surprised by the experience. We came with my husband and 9 month baby, the staff was very accommodating and helpful. The room downstairs has a very soft ambiance with beautiful paintings, and dimmed lights. I loved the theme with the crazy rich Asian book, the plates and littles decoration was very well done. The trays and teapots were also very pretty. The food was exquisite! The portions are quite small but each of them have a special taste, which i appreciated. It does change from the usual sandwiches. You can choose to have a refill of the savoury or sweet. The only downside if you could only pick one tea per person which was a shame. The staff was very nice as well. We were very happy with the experience.

I was quite disappointed with my experience at Kai Mayfair. The pork belly was dry and tasteless, the wasabi prawn was soggy and lacking flavor, the aubergine was completely bland, and the poussin was neither juicy nor particularly flavorful. Overall, the food felt overpriced for the quality and portion sizes. The service was sloppy and clumsy, and while the atmosphere was okay, the music was too loud and the seating distance made it hard to have a conversation with my partner.

Absolutely a waste of money. There are far better and more affordable dining options in London.

Unfortunately Kai did not meet expectations of a Michelin star restaurant.

The restaurant was not busy at the time; we had waited 25 minutes for any sort of acknowledgement from staff after being seated and waiting for drinks. We had to keep calling the waiting staff to make our orders rather than being checked in on.

Also, we found a live bug in the mains and raised this with the waiting staff. Sincere acknowledgment would have sufficed; instead the waiting staff explained the bug must have landed on the plate. They offered to make the dish again. We politely declined.

As this was my husband’s birthday dinner, I had arranged for a birthday dessert for him; the waiting staff sang happy birthday and gave the dessert to me instead.

The dress code did not appear to be enforced; there were customers in casual wear and trainers.

The wasabi prawns were lovely as well as the lobster mains.

The poor service cannot justify the amount spent.

This one star Michelin restaurant is phenomenal. The shrimp was perfect and the dessert made for a truly memorable experience! Highly recommend getting the chocolate does grow on trees dessert. This place does get busy so I would recommend making a reservation ahead of time. Added onto your meal will be a selection of unique chocolates.

The A5 grade Wagyu was the highlight of the night, a really well-balanced dish. For the starters, the seared beef had a nice texture and ginger kick. All desserts looked amazing, the creme brullee my favourite. Our waitress was really nice but the bartenders were talking amongst themselves, like if they were talking about the clients, not at the level of a high-end restaurant.

Everything on the menu is Halal except the pork, duck and wagyu. 

Chow Mein Noodles, Korean Fried Chicken, Loaded Fries, Homemade Sauces

Wok Boy Bang! Bang! Chicken

Some of the best fried chicken I’ve had, really crispy batter yet extremely tender chicken inside. I liked the noodles underneath as part of the chow mein, however, there could have been more vegetable. I do think it was a bit pricey, and that’s my main criticism.

🔥🔥🔥 Five-Star Review for Wok Boy – Bang Bang Chicken, Camden 🔥🔥🔥

Wok Boy in Camden is an absolute flavour explosion! If you’re hungry and craving something bold, filling, and seriously tasty, their Bang Bang Chicken is the way to go.

I ordered bang bang chicken with chow main. I got 3 large bits of chicken in the box, and wow — each piece was perfectly cooked, crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. They’re not shy with portions either — these were big, satisfying pieces of chicken that seriously hit the spot.

The chow mein that comes with it? Hot, fresh, and packed with flavour. It’s got that smoky wok-tossed magic going on, and it ties the whole meal together beautifully. Every bite is layered with spice, seasoning, and just the right kick.

Everything about this place screams quality and taste. The food is loaded with bold, punchy flavours, and you can tell it’s made fresh to order. Plus, the vibes around Camden Market make it even better — great smells, buzzing energy, and street food heaven all around.

If you’re in Camden and want a proper, flavour-packed feast, Wok Boy’s Bang Bang Chicken is a must. Get ready to get messy — and love every second of it! 💥🍜🐔

The chow mein and Korean fried chicken were delicious. The portions were good for the price, and everything tasted great.

What you see on display is ehat you get ,!!   Chicken was  amaazing, moist inside, crispy outside, cooked to perfection.  Noodles were  tiny bit salty for my liking but very edible still .

My friend had hers with chips-  oh wow  the seasoning on chips is unreal !!

Absolutely amazing food! I’ve been going here for years and their bang bang chicken is LEGENDARY! The noodles are amazing and I love how you can choose different sauces. One of the best street foods in London!

Panda's Kitchen (Forest Gate)

Had the pleasure of eating here this weekend for a late lunch. I'd highly recommend the dan dan noodles, sweet & sour vermicelli noodles, the braised beef clay pot and the chicken and sweetcorn soup. Everything came out promptly and the value for money was incredible. Would highly recommend dining in!

I’ve been ordering from Panda’s Kitchen for well over 10 years now, and I can honestly say it’s one of the best local Chinese takeaways around. It’s been a family favourite for as long as I can remember, and no matter how many times we order, the quality and taste are always spot on.
One of the things I really appreciate is that Panda’s Kitchen is HMC certified, which gives us peace of mind and makes it a reliable choice for the whole family. The consistency in flavour and quality is incredible - you can tell they take pride in their food.

Some of our go-to dishes (and highly recommended ones!) are the honey spicy chicken (perfect balance of sweet and heat), szechwan beef (packed with flavour), beef chow mein (comfort food at its finest), chicken with mushroom (simple but delicious), and king prawn balls (crispy, light, and always cooked perfectly). Honestly though, everything we’ve tried over the years has been a 10/10, which says a lot.

What makes Panda’s Kitchen stand out for me is that they’ve never let us down - whether it’s a quick midweek dinner or a big family order, the food always arrives quick, hot, and tasty. It really feels like part of our family tradition at this point, and I don’t know why it’s taken me so long to finally write a review!

If you’re looking for a Chinese takeaway that’s consistently delicious, reliable, and family-friendly, Panda’s Kitchen is the one. Couldn’t recommend them more highly.

Ordered some food. I tried the house special both rice and noodles. The noodle dish was better than the rice. Portions were pretty small. Amongst other things, I tried the torpedo prawn rolls. I wish there was less pastry and more filling. Overall, I had better food. It's like one of those places, you try them because you're hungry, but it would not really be your first choice. Can do better portion wise and taste wise as well.

Well I am a noodles freak and whenever I crave for noodles I just order from Panda’s kitchen and trust me they are the best. Fresh and delicious food every time. Love the chilli sauce which makes my food more dramatically better. The shop is small but very clean and organised. Staffs were helpful. Foods were really quick to deliver. I highly recommend them.

This little take away place near Upton Park sells wonderful Halal Chinese food! They've won the best halal food in the UK award. Their food is quite reasonably priced and the servings are really massive in my opinion. A meal for two can easily serve at least three people.. everything here is Halal and the food is authentic.. I saw the chefs myself and they were Chinese :)

We are HMC approved. This means our entire menu and supply-chain is certified Halal according to HMC standards. No traces of pork or alcohol in the store.

Hakkasan

I first came to Hakkasan back in 2016 — nine years ago — and I’ve been in love with this place ever since. Few restaurants in London have managed to maintain such a consistent level of excellence over time. Every visit feels just as special as the first.

From the moment you step in, the atmosphere envelops you: dim lighting, elegant music, and that signature balance of modern luxury and intimacy that only Hakkasan can create. The service is always refined yet relaxed, perfectly matching the restaurant’s understated sophistication.

The food remains absolutely outstanding. The crispy duck salad, the black truffle roasted duck, and the legendary pipa duck are on another level — perfectly cooked, flavourful, and beautifully presented. The dim sum selection and wagyu beef dishes are equally impressive, with every bite showing precision and artistry.

Over the years, Hakkasan has never lost its magic. It continues to set the standard for contemporary Cantonese cuisine in London — a place where perfection feels effortless. Whether for a celebration or a quiet dinner, it remains one of my all-time favourites.

Simply exceptional — from the duck to the cocktails, everything is top-tier.

We went here on our last night in London for our farewell dinner, and it was the perfect way to end the trip. As Americans visiting London for the first time, we’d heard great things about this place and it truly lived up to the hype. I had been to the Hakkasan in Miami Beach, so I knew what to expect.

The restaurant was buzzing with energy… loud music, a packed dining room, and the kind of lively atmosphere you’d expect from a world-class spot in Mayfair. We went on a Friday night, and while it was definitely noisy and you could hear nearby conversations, it added to the overall vibe rather than taking away from it. The service was excellent… our server was attentive, professional, and made sure everything came out perfectly.

My fiancé can be pretty particular about her wine, so she asked for some recommendations. The waiter brought over someone from the bar who walked us through their options and helped us choose a bottle that matched her taste perfectly. She was incredibly patient and knowledgeable, which made the experience even better.

We ordered the Peking duck and dim sum, and both were phenomenal. They first brought out the whole duck for us to see, then took it back to carve. When it returned, it was beautifully prepared as small, bite-sized pancake “sandwiches”… crispy duck skin and tender meat layered with hoisin sauce and scallions, almost like elegant little hors d’oeuvres. It was unlike anything we’d seen before, both in presentation and flavor. Later they brought out the remaining duck meat in a flavorful rice dish, which was an excellent finish. The dim sum was just as impressive… delicate, fresh, and full of flavor from each dumpling. For dessert, I had the mango sorbet and my fiancé had the black sesame and chocolate dumplings, both of which were surprisingly delightful.

It was definitely on the pricier side, especially with appetizers, dessert, and a bottle of wine, but absolutely worth it for a special occasion. If anything, I wish we had come here earlier in our trip. It reminded me of Tao in New York City but with a more refined, distinctly London feel. Would 100% come back again on our next visit.

We had an amazing time at Hakkasan Mayfair. We visited before but came back again. Love this place. The dimsums are just amazing. The food is amazing as usual. But what’s also really great is the ambience and the warmth with which you are received and hosted every single time. It was an amazing meal from such amazing hosts.

I am deeply disappointed by my experience at this restaurant. The environment was far from pleasant — the basement dining area was extremely noisy, with loud music and people shouting over each other. It felt more like a chaotic market than a restaurant.
Despite the place not being full, the food took an unreasonably long time to arrive. When I asked about it, the waiter casually said the kitchen was busy. I ordered the second most expensive set menu, expecting a quality meal, but it was a complete letdown. None of the dishes were tasty or authentic. The roast duck and dim sum were just acceptable, but everything else was barely edible. At least three dishes were so unpleasant that we asked the waiter to take them away after just one bite. Most of the food was overly sour, strange, and unbalanced — the so-called “champagne honey fish” even tasted rotten.
When we told the waiter that the food really wasn’t to our taste and asked for the dishes to be removed, he simply took them turned away without any reaction. The service throughout the meal was slow and indifferent. And to make matters worse, they still added a 15% service charge.
Overall, it was one of the most disappointing dining experiences I’ve ever had — poor food, poor service, and a completely unpleasant atmosphere.

Upon entry, we were greeted by exceptionally polite security staff who felt more welcoming than typical security. Inside, the wonderfully decorated space, bathed in dim lighting, offered a convenient bag and coat check. The front desk staff provided a warm greeting, and since we were early, we had the option to sit at the bar or proceed to our table. Naturally, I checked out the bar, which was pleasant with good service.
Descending the stairs, past the nicely segregated dining areas, it was impossible not to notice how busy and well-organized the venue was. At our table, the waiting staff introduced themselves and presented menus, including various options (if you're on a budget, it's wise to plan your meal in advance). The service was good, though there was a little room for improvement. The food, however, was excellent and cooked to perfection.
As I had mentioned it was a special occasion when reserving and confirming, our dessert arrived with a lovely personalized touch, which was much appreciated. Overall, we felt we got what we paid for, and I would highly recommend it.

Oodles Wok Tooting

Oodles serves tasty noodles with plenty of options. Quick, filling, and a good spot for a casual meal.

Having been to a few Oodles locations I’ll have to say this has to be one of the less enjoyable location. Starting with the positives, the hot and tangy chicken was not too bad it seemed fresh ish and the chips were nice and crispy and fresh also my food was served fairly quick. Unfortunately this was extremely let down by the Malaysian chicken which tasted bland and soggy, it was cold and not fresh at all, the vegetable fried rice was extremely bland and also cold. I don’t expect everything to be prepared fresh everytime but I would atleast expect my food to be fairly fresh or at the very least reheated on the wok. Staff are friendly, maybe I just visited on a bad day but as I’m not from the area this will be my last time.

Went there with family. There was a hair found in one of the Boxes when we showed to the guy at the till he said there was nothing he could Bcz he was following all hygiene precautions. He said we should throw the food and just mind our business. Very poor customer service and rude staff. Not worth the money at all.

Went for a family feast. There was a hair found in one of the boxes. I asked the guy at the till about it and he said they are following all hygiene precautions so if you still find one he cannot do anything. He asked me to throw the food and mind my business. I asked to check the CCTV and he said nothing he can do if found one. Very poor customer service, rude staff.

Hot pipping food, well seasoned and good portion size and price.

Very tasty highly recommend this place.

4 of us spent around £40 with drinks, sides and main

Real Beijing 風味食堂 Hendon

Amazing food with great flavors, excellent service, and a warm atmosphere! Had a takeaway for £10-20 per person. Highly recommend Real Beijing 美味食堂 Hendon!”

Friends from out of town came down to visit and were looking to have something with a little more flavour and spice. Another friend told me about this restaurant and we decided to try it out.
Probably a little know thing about this place is that there is a parking court at the rear, otherwise you can park around the residential streets nearby.
Whilst the decor isn't anything fancy, the atmosphere is decent and comfortable.
We ordered a number of dishes that were recommend to us. This included the lamb (note, we were recommended this to us and had pre ordered this), fish, veg and duck.
Each dish was very flavoursome, just about the right amount of spice and really quite full.
Would certainly recommend this place if your in the area.
I didn't take pictures of the dessert, which consisted of deep fried glutinous rice stick and fried pumpkins. Very tasty.

My wife and I came here for Valentine's Day lunch and we had an excellent time. The food was amazing (portion sizes are huge), service was excellent and even though we were the only ones in the restaurant we still enjoyed having the place to ourselves it made it even more romantic.

Amazing food, Julie was such a nice server who made the experience calming and exciting as someone who’s not used to having Chinese hotpot all the time!! I seriously recommend this place and have no idea why reviews are so low- I especially recommend the all you can eat buffet- for £30 pp you can’t go wrong :)

Excellent, authentic, delicious Chinese food. My Chinese wife is a fantastic cook, and I've travelled a fair bit in China and eaten a (very!) wide range of dishes at the top and bottom of the market, so I know a bit about the subject and can say that this is good-quality, interesting but unpretentious cuisine. It's like good Chinese home cooking, which is a compliment. A lot of quite spicy stuff, and some good offal dishes if you like that sort of thing (I do!). Clean and comfortable venue, friendly service. Highly recommended.

Update August 2021:
Just had hotpot here today with friends. Wouldn't normally be my choice of meal for a warm summer evening, but have to say it was really excellent. The spicier side of the broth pan was not too spicy, but enough to be exciting. Good quality ingredients all round - lamb, beef, tofu, noodles, lotus root, various delicious mushrooms, winter melon, etc., etc.

Tattu London

I had been curious about Tattoo for a long time and finally decided to try this Modern Chinese Experience for my birthday, and I have to say the place is truly beautiful. It’s centrally located, easy to reach, and the interior is stunning, designed down to the smallest details, with a great view over London.

We went for the All-Day Set Menu with three courses. We started with edamame and prawn crackers. The crackers had a nice flavor but were a bit too hard in some spots, making them slightly difficult to eat. Then we had the Wagyu Beef Dumplings and Sugar Salt Crispy Squid, both very good and clearly prepared with care.

For mains, we chose the White Miso Salmon and the Caramel Soy Aged Steak. The salmon had a delicate, well-balanced flavor and was really enjoyable. Unfortunately, the steak arrived cold at the table, and despite mentioning it to the waiter, nothing was done to fix the issue, which was disappointing, especially considering the supplement price. The Chinese Green Beans and the Tender Stem Broccoli were both delicious.

For dessert, we had the Yuzu Lemon Drop, which was absolutely fantastic, light, sweet, refreshing, and the perfect ending to the meal. Since it was my birthday, they also brought me a small extra treat, a raspberry ice cream with a chocolate biscuit crumble, which was absolutely delicious. It was such a thoughtful touch that made the experience even more special.

Overall, Tattoo is a beautiful spot with great ambiance and attention to detail, and despite the small issue with the steak, it’s a place I’d definitely recommend and return to, even just for the Yuzu Lemon Drop.

I visited this restaurant with my family over the weekend. We arrived a bit early and waited for the rest of our group so we spent some time at the bar until everyone arrived. Once we were all together, we were taken to our main table. The place itself is lovely the lighting, ambience, and decor are beautiful.

At first a gentleman introduced himself and took our order but after that, we didn’t see much of him. The starters arrived promptly but when the mains came the sides didn’t arrive with them. We waited about five minutes before we managed to get the attention of another waiter who was very helpful to finally bring it out.

We also asked this waiter to bring out a birthday message with the dessert, which he kindly did a really nice touch that we appreciated.

Overall, the restaurant is beautiful with a great atmosphere. They had a set menu that included starters and mains which made it good value. However, if we had ordered a la carte, I don’t think the prices would have been worth it  the portions were quite small. I actually had to eat again when I got home because I was still hungry. :-)

Celebrated my husband’s birthday at Tattu. They booked us an amazing table with window to ceiling views. The ambiance and aesthetics were beautiful and cozy and the food was absolutely delicious. Funny enough we were actually advised we ordered too much food but we polished our plates nonetheless lol. Our waiter Peter was so lovely and gracious (he snapped some amazing photos of us!). They also surprised my husband with a complimentary birthday treat.

Overall a fantastic experience and would definitely recommend!

To make our overseas friend’s Birthday celebration memorable, particularly as this was their second visit to London, we selected the Tattu restaurant, which exceeded our expectations from the moment we entered through the eliminated tunnel and ascended the lift. We were warmly greeted at the lift with exceptional hospitality while proceeding  to our table.

The restaurant’s ambiance is equally impressive, featuring exquisite decor. And The live DJ playing great music in the background.

The culinary offerings were equally impressive, with each delectable dish presented artistically and bursting with incredible flavours. The service was smooth, friendly, and never rushed, the attentive waiter further contributed to the exceptional ambience of the evening.
They even brought out a surprise birthday treat for our friend. it was a lovely touch that made the evening more special.

I highly recommend dining at Tattu, a renowned restaurant celebrated for its exceptional cuisine, impeccable service, and memorable dining experience.

This weekend was my second time visiting Tattu London and once again, it did not disappoint! The food, drinks and service were exceptional. Their lunch menu was also really great value for money with decent portion sizing and tasty options!

A huge thank you to both Mandy and Ahmed who were both amazing at their jobs and made the experience very enjoyable for us with their friendly nature and fantastic recommendations regarding the cocktails/veggie options!

We will return! :)

Our chicken and lamb are halal. Some of our dishes do have alcohol reduced down in the sauces, however an allergy matrix will get brought over for you to help with your decision. 

We do also have a good selection of seafood and vegetarian dishes also.

Chai Wu

I just had the most wonderful graduation lunch with my husband and a friend, and seriously, it was so special! The food was super delicious, and the service? Top-notch!

We had the drinks that were just so good, and honestly, the food portions were big enough that we got to try a ton of different things. Everything we tasted was just amazing.

For starters, we went all out! I tried the duck salad, some tasty prawn rolls, duck rolls, chicken satay,  and oh my goodness, Chai Wu's special fried rice and sweet and sour chicken for the mains. Every single one was absolutely delicious.

After those fantastic main courses, dessert was definitely needed, and it did not disappoint. They even made it extra special by putting graduation wishes on the dessert – how sweet is that?! And the dessert options were incredible. I had raspberry sorbet, mango sorbet, vanilla sorbet, a warm matcha lava cake, and of course, cheesecake. All of it was so, so yummy. Compliments to the chef.

Honestly, they made my graduation lunch truly memorable. If you're looking for great food and service, I can't recommend this place enough!

This restaurant is hidden  away within the maze that is Harrods. Service was attentive, the food was amazing. The Dim Sum platter was unlike anything I had before and finished was a dessert, I need more of the apple sorbet! This is a solid Chinese option for area, better than other experiences we have had.

Lovely secluded restaurant (with amazing air con to escape the heat). Food was really incredible - my favourites were the coconut prawn and the sweet and sour chicken. Service was impeccable - staff were really friendly, food could have come out slightly quicker but with that air con we weren’t too worried. One of the best Chinese meals we’ve had in a long time.

Chai Wu is hidden away on the fifth floor in Harrods. Didn't know this place existed until a friend told us about it.

The crispy lobster noodles and mango sushi roll were the highlights of the evening.  Our waitress Semel was great and very attentive.

We look forward to visiting again soon.

Chai Wu at Harrods — warm, sensory, and to the point:
•	📍Tucked inside Harrods, this upscale Chinese gem blends elegant dining with bold, contemporary flair.
•	🥟 The dim sum platter was a visual dream — jewel-toned wrappers, tender seafood fillings, and silky textures throughout. The truffle prawn dumpling was a standout.
•	🥩 Wagyu puffs were rich and flavourful, though the pastry could’ve been a touch crispier.
•	🦆The Peking duck was the showstopper — tender, juicy meat wrapped in crisp skin, served with delicate pancakes, fresh veg, and a bold trio of sauces for the perfect bite every time.
•	🍽️ Service was smooth, and the room itself — all red velvet and lacquered glamour — makes you want to linger a little longer.

Most of our items are halal apart from the Miyazakigyu Beef and our Duck Spring Rolls that are not halal certified.

Authentic Chinese food and freshly made Dim Sum are served all-day

Plum Valley

We visited Plum Valley in Chinatown and were initially met with quite a queue, but it moved down quickly. The staff asked if we were happy to be seated in a separate room rather than the main restaurant, which we didn’t mind at all — the room was clean and quiet.

Given how busy the restaurant was, I expected delays, but service was surprisingly efficient. The food arrived quickly, piping hot, and freshly made. There’s also a huge amount of choice — a full menu dedicated just to dim sum alongside another for starters and mains, so there’s plenty of variety for everyone.

I tried their new lychee prawn balls, which had just been added to the menu that day. Personally, I found them a bit too chewy and didn’t think the pairing with the lychee sauce worked very well, but it was still fun to try something different. I also ordered the soup dumplings, which were packed with flavour, but my favourite had to be the chicken dumplings - perfectly made and incredibly tasty with the chilli oil & spring onion garnishes.

Overall, it was a smooth and enjoyable experience with good service and lots of delicious options to choose from.

Plum Valley is one of those spots that feels a little fancier than your average Chinese restaurant, but still super welcoming. The vibe is sleek and modern, with dim lighting that makes it great for a date night or a nice dinner with friends. The menu is loaded with classic dishes, but they put a slightly upscale twist on everything, so even something simple like dim sum feels special. The cocktails are also worth a try—they’re creative and pair really well with the food.

Taste-wise, it definitely delivers. The duck was crispy and full of flavor, and the dumplings were delicate but packed a punch. Prices are a bit higher than your usual Chinatown joint, but you can tell they’re going for quality ingredients and presentation, so it feels justified. If you’re looking for a spot that’s stylish without being stuffy, Plum Valley hits the mark.

The dim is very good. Enjoyed most of the dishes. Theres good aircon, the toilets are clean and service is fast and polite. Must try 57 whisker cod rolls, don't think you can get that anywhere else.

Po Li Tea is very nice.

Prices are reasonable. Very easy to order. They give you a sheet with prices listed which you mark how many dim sum you like. The full menu has pictures. Be sure to turn the sheet over to see main dishes available too.

One of the sauces which came with one of the dishes was strange. It tasted like mango lassi

Food was very nice. It was clean and comfortable inside. Not pushy or dirty. Came recommended and would definitely come back here. I think reviews should be higher in general so glad we gave it a try.

Strolling through London’s Chinatown, we randomly chose this restaurant because it had a nice outdoor seating area that was separated from the sidewalk by a small barrier — perfect for people-watching but set back enough to be out of the hustle and bustle. We had a steamed dumpling/wanton dim sum assortment that was beautiful and delicious. The chicken stirfry was also tasty. I recommendation: do not place your order all at once. We did that and ended up with the entree coming out before the appetizer and too soon after the soup. Instead, just order one or two items at a time and hold off on ordering your entree until you’re ready for it — the stirfry is quick to be prepared and delivered to your table. Also, do not set down valuables like your phone or purse on the side of the table that’s up against the street. Our waiter warned us that thieves will walk by and grab it and run.

Hong Kong restaurant

I had a great time dining here! The food was tasty and looked nice. The dim sum, especially the shrimp dumplings and crispy rolls, was fresh and flavorful. The beef was cooked well, and the rice went perfectly with it.

The best part was the service — the staff was friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. The cozy atmosphere made it a nice spot to eat with friends or family.

I highly recommend this place for delicious dim sum and great service!

I recently went out with my grandma and her friend to celebrate her birthday at a Chinese restaurant, and it was such a lovely experience. From the moment we walked in, the staff were warm and welcoming, making the afternoon feel extra special for her.

The food was absolutely delicious – every dish was fresh, full of flavor, and beautifully presented. The standouts for us were the chilli oil prawn dumplings.

The atmosphere was cozy yet festive, which made it perfect for a family celebration. What made the lunch even better was how attentive the staff were  they went out of their way to make my grandma’s birthday meal memorable, even surprising her with a mango sago cream which was lovely and very refreshing. Overall, it was a wonderful lunch full of great food, warm service, and happy memories. I’d definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an authentic Chinese dining experience, whether it’s for a special occasion or just a great meal out. Special thanks to our waiter wei

It’s easily accessible on foot, whether you’re coming from Highbury & Islington station or Angel station.

We really enjoyed the food, especially the Steamed Prawn Dumplings, Singapore Noodles (our favorites!), and the Roast Duck. It was also very convenient for our group that they serve halal food, and it’s clearly marked on the menu.

During our visit, we were seated at the far back of the restaurant, which felt a bit tight and crowded due to the limited space. It was also a little difficult to get the attention of the waitstaff. Given how busy it was at that time, it seemed like there weren’t quite enough servers for the number of customers, so we understood they were likely overwhelmed.

However, still a good dining experience overall and would love to come back in the future!

Absolutely amazing halal Chinese food 👌🏼 Perhaps the best in London 👀 The dim sum is sensational 👌🏼Also, please do try the beef Cheung Fun with soy sauce and the egg fried rice 😍 Pure perfection 👌🏼 Going to come here for Chinese food for the rest of my life 😂

I had an amazing experience here - top tier service and food! Really amazing authentic chinese food that has the added perk of being fully halal. Loved the dim sum dishes, we tried the crab soup dumplings, chili oil shrimp dumplings and some beef steamed ones. We also tried this beef based noodle soup dish that was amazing. I was not a fan of the mango sago dessert tho - it’s mostly sweet mango pulp and does not have enough sago. Overall really good though

We do fully halal food menu, and no pork served.

Shan Shui, Chinese Kitchen

We were so excited to find a place at the airport that does Dim Sum for breakfast & we were not disappointed! Gorgeous food, came out quickly and waitress was absolutely lovely. Nice decor too, and reasonably priced for airport food.

Cannot fault it - the best airport breakfast I’ve had by far.

Good food before take off. We got good northern style dumplings and some more delicious food. 3 dishes, 3 waiters one of them was Sam PoPo all fantastic. Thanks 🙏

Best food place in T2 if you are looking for warm setting with super nice service, seating by the window gives you a good view while having the delicious roast duck noodles, and they serve bubble tea! Oh also to mention their kitchen looks very clean and efficient, no wonder food served quickly!

I had the chicken noodle soup. Personally, I would have preferred a stronger flavor but overall it was fine. The location is fantastic, with large windows where you can watch the airplanes. I’m looking forward to trying other dishes on my next visit.

The food was incredible. I was surprised that the main dishes don't come with rice or anything.  It is also a bit pricey, buts high quality and at an airport so it is what it is.
The three cup chicken was fantastic!

All meat on our menu is halal. Alcohol served.

An exciting new spot has opened up in
Whitechapel serving Chinese food! I was impressed by
@smokinwok food and service! Fresh food bursting
with flavours and you can even customise it with naga.
They even serve fish and chips, fish cakes and
battered sausages.
We ordered the following:
*Dynamite prawns
*Dynamite chicken wings
*Dynamite chicken balls
*Salt and pepper wings
*Smokin wok chow mein
*Smokin wok fried rice
*Beef noodles
*Singapore fried rice
*Fish and chips
The Dynamite selection was lovely! Our favourite will
have to be the prawns! Crispy tempura battered
shrimp covered in a creamy spicy mayo sauce. with
sriracha. They are different to the PF Chang's one but
very unique and regardless tasted really good! This
goes same for the dynamite chicken.
The smokinwok special chow mein was one of our
favourites! It was noodles that was tossed with prawns,
chicken and beef! We chose quarter naga which was
spicy enough for us! A great noodle dish with
authentic Chinese flavours.
The smokin wok special rice was also great and very
filling. We went with quarter naga which elevated the
heat however not too spicy to override the flavours.
Overall, a great Halal Chinese concept that will
definitely see me back!

Smokin Wok

This is a lovely Chinese take away! We ordered the chicken balls which came in a big portion with an amazing taste, for so little money! We also ordered one rice main and one noodle main and the beef Szechuan and everything was so flavourful and delicious. The portions are very good so we will be finishing this off for dinner tomorrow! The staff was lovely and as it was our first purchase we received a free canned drink of our choice! LOVE !

Me and my colleagues always come here! Recommend the smokin special- spicy if you can handle the heat, otherwise they do mild too!

Really enjoyed our meal.
Walked in to order. We were asked if it was our first time, and we were offered a drink on the house.
We had chicken curry, special rice, special noodles, chicken balls, chips. Everything was delicious. Great value. Will certainly use again!

A great takeaway. Fantastic value, great portions and lovely taste! Definitely recommend!

Food is absolutely great! I deffo recommend smoking wok special! Also beef in black been sauce!
Special shout out to  Reza as he’s  looking out for every need you might have

Fatt Pundit

I went to Fatt Pundit after seeing so many great reviews and was looking forward to it. The food was tasty and the wine went really well. Service was friendly and helpful too.

For me though, the whole experience felt more average than amazing. The atmosphere was fine but nothing special, and the toilets really need updating – they let the place down.

Overall, I’d say it was good but not quite what I was expecting. I’d probably go again, but with lower expectations next time.

As a fan of asian fusion cuisine I was surprised by how exquisitely good every dish looked and tasted while at a fairly adequate price. The ambience was relaxing and both Geet and Alex were very attentive towards our needs for refills, checking if we were pleased with the food and although it was a busy Friday, service was as fast as it was of top quality. Highly recommend for everyone that loves asian food and wishes to try Kolkata cuisine.

Fantastic service by the staff - Raj and Rutul, friendly and answered any questions we had. It was my birthday and I was surprised with a lovely candle and decoration on my desert. Food was 10/10
Will definitely be visiting again and recommending to others!!

Amazing food and service! They have a lovely halal menu and the staff are great! The chicken Szechuan noodles were perfect, momos were cooked to perfection and the Bombay chilly prawns were to die for! Lollypop chicken was 10/10, well seasoned and spicy. Staff were amazing! Shout out to Nihal and Alex- they were just great!!  they even let us bedazzle their phones with stickers- great service of food and super lovely!

Book in advance!
This is one of my favorite places to eat in London. The food and drinks are both so flavorful and the service is always top knotch. The portions are meant to be shared between table guests. Everytime I'm in london I make a reservation.
We had:
Crackling spinach
Szechuan honey duck
Lollipop chicken
Bing bread
Burnt ginger rice
Dessert:
Snowflake Gelato sizzling brownie
Drinks:
White tiger
Hakka Garden (my favorite)

An extra thanks to our server Nihal.

A lot of our dishes are halal. Please ask a member of staff to assist you when placing your order.

Maxim's Peking Cuisine

Went to this lovely restaurant last night to celebrate my friends birthday. What a wonderful time we had. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly.  The food was served quickly and was absolutely delicious. I had stir fried lamb, special fried rice and spring rolls to start. The staff went out of their way to make sure we had a brilliant evening. They took group photos for our party of 10 and joined in singing happy birthday. The manager calculated my bill for me. All in all, a fantastic evening. I would go back without hesitation

I was at this restaurant last week for my birthday.

Unfortunately, the evening did not meet expectations, especially considering the price point.

The service was slow, with long waits between courses. When the food did arrive, I didn't like it. A major issue was the flavor profile, it seemed as though sugar had been added to every dishes making the food oddly and unpleasantly sweet.

Furthermore, the portions were very small,which only exacerbated the feeling of poor value for what was a very expensive meal.

Overall, I was not happy with the experience and felt that the quality of the food and service did not justify the cost.

Excellent food - I'd recommend braised duck and jumbo salt and pepper prawns - the staff is attentive and friendly, and the place has a great atmosphere.

The manager ignores drivers time waiting to be told how long we need to wait. But when i come there as a customer he is quick to serve
Me and wipe my table off to pay the huge bill and leave. After today’s experience me or family will not be returning and leaving you 50£ per head for a dinner that the quality has gone downhill

We had a lovely Sunday evening meal with friends at this restaurant. The service from beginning to end was great and the staff were warm and helpful. The food was delicious, highly recommend the butterfly king prawns, crispy chilli beef, lamb lettuce wrap and crispy duck pancakes. Definitely will be coming back.

The grand, luxurious settings of Park Chinois were unforgettable! 

We were lucky enough to visit one of the most lavish and beautiful restaurants we’ve ever dined at...Park Chinois- even the name rings elegance! 🤣 We started off by trying the Szechuan Vegetable dumpling and Wagyu Beef Gyoza, which were delightful starters, the former being a little spicier and the latter being more rich and savoury. We then had the immaculate looking Wagyu Beef Short Ribs, which was again filled with rich flavours while the Wagyu beef was so tender you could eat it without even chewing. We also got the Roast Duck Fried Rice and Gamberi Rossi (Prawns), these two dishes were not as delicious as the others but they were not bad nonetheless.

Food: 8/10
Settings: 10/10
Service: 8.5/10
Overall: 8.8/10

@twopeasfoodies's review of Park Chinois on Instagram

Park Chinois

We went for the lunch offer. It was nice and quiet and service was really nice. My only critique is the starters were better than the main. The main left a lot to be desired and was pretty average while the starters were excellent. Even if you don’t love corn the soup is worth a try. It would be great in the winter to warm you up but slightly heavy for the summer. I would go again for starters and drinks.

Stepping into Park Chinois on Berkeley Street in Mayfair is an experience unlike any other. This is not just a Chinese restaurant; it's a journey into a world of opulent glamour and sensory delight.
From the moment you arrive, the ambiance is simply wonderful.

The decor is a stunning blend of luxurious red and gold, with intricate details and a vibrant, yet intimate, atmosphere. The live music adds a touch of sophistication and really sets the mood for an unforgettable evening.

The food is just as impressive as the setting. Every dish is bursting with authentic flavors and presented with an elegant flair.

The staff is attentive and professional, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable dining experience from start to finish.

PC offers a perfect trifecta of great food, great service, and wonderful ambiance. I absolutely loved it and can't wait to go back.

We came to Park Chinois expecting the famous live show, but unfortunately it seems they no longer offer it. That said, the experience was still memorable🤍 the food was absolutely delicious, with beautifully presented dishes full of flavor. The ambience is stunning and elegant, perfect for a special evening out. Our server, Costaz, was attentive and friendly, which made the evening even more enjoyable.

Park Chinois is not just a restaurant – it’s a full-sensory experience. From the moment you step through the doors, you’re transported to a world of 1930s Shanghai glamour. The attention to detail in the décor is breathtaking, with plush interiors, live music, and a seductive, intimate atmosphere that makes it perfect for special occasions or an elegant night out.

The food? Exceptional. Every dish we tried was a perfect balance of refined Chinese culinary tradition and luxurious presentation. The Duck de Chine is a must – beautifully crisp skin and rich, flavorful meat. The dim sum selection was also top-tier, delicate and freshly prepared.

Service was professional yet warm – attentive without being intrusive, and the staff clearly take pride in creating a flawless experience.

Yes, it’s a splurge – but worth every penny for the ambiance, quality, and unique experience. Highly recommend booking in advance, especially if you want to catch the live entertainment.

Can’t wait to return.

I visited Park Chinois for my anniversary and the experience was absolutely lovely. From start to finish, the staff were extremely professional and attentive—exactly what you’d expect from such a luxurious establishment.

The food arrived quickly and was beautifully presented, with great attention to detail in every dish. To top it all off, we were surprised with a beautiful dessert cake that made the evening feel even more special.

A perfect setting for a romantic occasion. Highly recommend for anyone looking to celebrate something meaningful in style.

Select beef and chicken dishes are halal. Halal duck needs to be preordered. Pork and alcohol is served.

Jimmy's O2

Third visit to Jimmy's O2 Arena and I'm thrilled to say that this time, I wasn't disappointed! The staff, particularly Sweta Giri who served us at Table 10, were absolutely fantastic. Their happy and welcoming faces set the tone for a great experience. Sweta's service was top-notch, and I appreciate the effort she put in to ensure we had a wonderful time. Thanks to the entire staff for making our visit special. Looking forward to coming back for the Lovely Stakes 🍴😋! (06 July 2025 Visit)

I Visited the Jimmy's on 26th of April. Really appreciate the Customer Service provided on our Table by Miss Zuzanna Zajac one of the staff in Jimmy's, appreciate the way he approached me and my friend and also told us how the process works inside the area. Also would like to appreciate the way Ms. Zuzanna Zajac gave us the water filled in our empty bottle. The food over here was too delicious and yummy really appreciate the work put in by Cooks and all the staff in maintaining the environment in a very busy environment which was today. The place is really worth for price. I have attached the current price list of per person and during different times and different days how it costs. Thank you once again Zuzanna Zajac. This is a must visit place. (26 April 2025)

We dined here on a Sunday afternoon. There was no queue and we walked straight in. At £24 per head it is good value for money. This was our fourth visit to Jimmy's in the last 3 years, that said, with so many other 'all you can eat buffets', Jimmy's has fallen behind. It offers you a variety of dishes from across the globe, but they are all average tasting. I say this with the utmost respect. The taste and flavour from other buffet restaurants is better and the the price points are on par. My feedback here is that this is a good place to dine when visiting the O2, but they need to up their game to stay competitive.

Had an amazing experience at Jimmy’s O2 Buffet! The food was fresh, flavorful, and there was such a great variety to choose from — definitely something for everyone. But what really made the visit special was the outstanding service from Shweta. She was incredibly attentive, polite, and went out of her way to ensure we had everything we needed. Her friendly attitude and professionalism truly elevated our dining experience. Highly recommend this place — and if you get Shweta looking after your table, you’re in for a great time!

We absolutely loved our visit to Jimmy's 02! For just £24, you get an unlimited buffet with a huge range of global cuisines – great for people who are picky with their food. The steak was perfectly cooked, the garlic pizza was super delicious, also the chow-mein was so good I went back for seconds. To top it off, the dessert part was just as impressive - everything I tried was delicious!  Great value for money and perfect for families or groups. I’ll definitely be returning!

Multi-Ethnic Buffet Restaurant. The restaurant is very characteristic, well-kept and very clean. The staff is very helpful and kind. Given the vast offer and variety of food, the level of execution of the dishes is not good, I can say that it was decent and proportionate to the bill paid. I recommend it for large groups of people who do not like to wait long waiting times for orders and who have different tastes to please.

Jimmy's

JustEat UK

Hey everyone. Been away as I was unwell, I'm better now so for fathers day I took the family to @centralounge a Indian restaurant located in Ilford

Here's what I ordered 

Chilli Paneer £8.15
Avocado chaat £7.25
Pani Puri £5.80
Sticky Lamb Chops £10.85
Butter Chicken £9.95
Lamb Shank £14.95
Lamb Biryani £12.50
Keema Naan £3.65
Butter Naan £2.75
Ocean Blue £6.50
Elderflower & pear £6.50

In general the food was good, some dishes worked well and some need work. My favourite items were the Chill Panner, crispy texture in a tasty sauce. The lamb Biryani was enjoyable and had good portions of lamb, it was a bit sticky in texture but I like it like that and the flavours were balanced and tasty. 

The butter chicken had velvety smooth sauce and was really tasty, with perfectly cooked chicken and sauce with good depth in flavour. The lamb shank also had a rich and balanced sauce and the lamb feel apart with no effort at all. 

The lamb chops however were over cooked, which meant it was tough and chewy. If I was a paying customer I would of sent that back, I could only sample one bite, I didn't like the taste of the sticky sauce either. 

They did serve me a 🥑 chaat that was rotten, that could pass with a btec food blogger but I clocked that straight away. Sadly for my wife she was the victim of soggy nasty avocado. They did take it away and bring me a new one, but it came at the end of the meal so I took it home. The new one with fresh avocado was actually delicious. It's a shame they got it wrong the first time. 

Drinks and food came with a somewhat forced dry ice show for the table, but I'll take anything that will get me the likes. Drinks were okay, I didn't like the Elderflower it was bitter but the ocean blue was nice. 

Finished the meal with a average freakshake but the chocolate cake wasn't too bad. 

Service was good and overall this is a decent place to check out. It's more casual lunch/dinner than anything fancy, but there's there's a free car park on site. 

Alcohol is served. All food is halal with certification available. My meal was complimentary.

@halalfoodguy's review of Central Lounge Ilford on Instagram

Central Restaurant and Lounge

We arrived around 7:30pm on a Saturday, and although it had been a while since I’d visited a lounge, this one truly impressed. The atmosphere was calm and inviting when we walked in. The staff greeted us warmly, handed us the menus, and guided us to our table with ease.

We ordered the Savacco Passionova shisha, which had great longevity and smooth flavour. For food, we went all in:

Punjabi Samosa Chaat – rich, tangy, and perfectly spiced

Sticky Lamb Chops – absolutely phenomenal, a solid 10/10

Chilli Chicken Fries – fiery, bold, and packed with flavour

Lamb Biryani – deeply aromatic and satisfying, topped with a delicious naan

We asked for everything to be spicy, and they nailed it. Each dish delivered on taste and heat without compromising on quality. As the evening progressed, the lounge filled up, but the service remained consistently attentive. Staff checked in to ensure we were happy and offered anything else we might need.

Final thoughts: Great food, excellent shisha, and top-tier service. A fantastic experience from start to finish.

The venue was amazing; the food and staff were good. The portion size was a bit small, but everyone enjoyed the food. The ambiance added to the experience, with soft lighting and tasteful decorations that created a warm and inviting atmosphere.

If you’re looking for a spot with crazy-good starters, huge portions, and a vibe that feels like home - Central Restaurant & Lounge is the place!

Follow @cravetrelldiaries for more food contentand honest reviews♥️

From the moment we walked in, the vibe was so welcoming, elegant décor, friendly staff, and excellent hospitality that really stood out. The place is spacious with separate dining and lounge areas, making it perfect whether you’re out with family or celebrating with friends. Plus, they offer huge free parking, which is a big win in London! 🚗✨

Now the food is where Central truly shines! 🔥

Starters 🥢
The Chicken Lollipop was crazy good, crispy outside, juicy inside, and packed with flavour. The Indo-Chinese Prawns were bold and tangy with that perfect kick. The Trio Chicken Tikka was tender, smoky, and each marinade had its own unique taste. But the Avocado Chaat stole the show as something refreshing and light to balance it all.

Mains 🍛
The Chicken Madras was spot on,spicy, rich, and full of depth, exactly how a proper Madras should be. The surprise star for me was the Methi Corn, creamy, fragrant, and such a unique dish, it instantly became a favourite.

Desserts 🍰
The cakes were indulgent but the Lotus Biscoff Milk Cake really stood out soft, rich, and absolutely delicious. The portion sizes were huge across all dishes, which I really appreciate you definitely get value for money here.

Extras 💨
To finish, we tried their Special Shisha smooth, flavoursome, and the perfect way to end a fantastic evening.

Overall, Central Restaurant & Lounge offers the full experience welcoming vibes, amazing food with generous portions, and excellent service. 100% recommend this place if you’re looking for quality food with great hospitality.

Excellent restaurant with a lounge in the back to have drinks food and Shisha.

Staff are well trained, accommodating and fast at looking after patrons.

Lamb curry and the kebabs are a must to try here, along with the egg starter.

Highly recommend the place to hold your next event.

My server today was Ankita. She was absolutely lovely and made sure to always ask if I needed anything. The food was good. The drinks were amazing. I’ll always come back here.

Fresh and fast noodles with lots of options

Oodles Wok Ilford

Avoid eating here as they do not clean their chicken properly. I purchased wings on uber eats and when they arrived the wings were not cleaned and still had bits sticking out of them. They seasoned and cooked the wings but still could not see that there are bits that are still attached to the wing. This is shows that the employees and employer does not care for hygiene and do not care for customers safety.

I order a large box meal: egg friend rice and noodles with sweet and sour chicken and crispy chicken for the meat options. For sides I ordered some spring rolls and salt and pepper wings.

On receiving my order I thought it was going to be good 😩😩

The rice and noodles had no taste, lack flavour/ bland and disgusting tbh.
The sweet and sour chicken was definitely not sweet and sour the red sauce ran everywhere and wasn’t appealing at all.

The crispy chicken was passable.

The only thing I enjoyed were the salt and pepper wings and spring rolls which Ill give 5/10.

I was looking so forward to this. The noodles smells and looks really nice but the absolute bland taste leaves a lot to be desired for. No spice, no salt, tastes like boiled food. I'm sorry but it wa just horrible. We all just tasted a little and rest chucked in the bin. Please improve your recipe. Cannot recommend.  Waste of money.

I ordered home delivery for the first time from this restaurant. The crispy chicken was crispy and tasty too.  Spicy chips were hot too. I found prices reasonable when compared to the quantity. The packaging was very decent.
It's worth giving a try.

Its the best food i have ever tried and the server was excellent as-well.I highly recommend this place

Mr Wong’s Wok & Box ️

Thank you Lina for such a wonderful experience today. She had a big smile on her face and gave us a warm welcome. We came in with only half hour to spare, and told her that at the tills. She took our order and we received the food super quick, everything was fresh, piping hot and so delicious. My kids enjoyed it a lot, this was my first time coming here and will definitely come again.

unbelievabley small portions with boxes barely covering the bottom. Paid 7-10 a dish spending over £50 and hardly anything in the boxes. daylight robbery. tried calling them to discuss but there's no telephone number on the receipt or google. really disappointed.

Really enjoyed the atmosphere — very nicely decorated. The bao buns were quite nice, and the BBQ wings were definitely a highlight. The chicken fried rice was perfect, full of flavor and cooked just right.

The dynamite chicken was a bit on the oily side, and the calamari didn’t quite meet expectations, but overall still a great experience.

Service definitely needs improvement. Drinks were not available we had to go to the corner shop to get our own drinks and items on the order where missed.

⭐☆☆☆☆

I honestly can’t believe this place. Paid £16 for a meal that wouldn’t even fill a 5-year-old. The portion was ridiculously small – max 8 bites in the whole box. For that price, it’s an absolute joke.

The food itself was a disaster. It smelled like raw masala, had no proper seasoning, and tasted completely bland. The "vegetable" part was practically non-existent – you’d need a magnifying glass to find any. For something advertised as a veg spring roll and rice box, it was missing both quality and actual content.

Completely overpriced, tasteless, and stingy with portions. This was one of the most disappointing takeaway experiences I’ve had. Definitely not worth the money or the hype.

Firstly, the customer service is 10/10 which is always a reason I come back to a restaurant. This is my second time here (travelled 6 miles for it!) and it didn’t disappoint.

The menu is easy to follow, the place is super clean and child/baby friendly - they had a good amount of space for changing my baby, and the toilets were super clean!!

It’s obvious that the workers care about the place because a year later and I could swear I recognise the staff (which is rare these days given the high staff turnover over of food places).

The food portions are very good and they have a nice drink selection.

Finally, the restaurant’s aircon was a perk (I know a minor detail, but I care so much about the small things because they matter!)

Oodles Wok Green Street

Oodles offered a good experience overall. The staff were friendly, service was quick, and the food was tasty with plenty of variety. The restaurant was clean and welcoming. A little more consistency in portions would make it even better, but I’d happily visit again.👍👍

The food in this place is incredible! I loved it, if people want a bite to eat come here . The noodles are so moist ! Overall a 10 /10 !

First but certainly not last time at Oodles!
Service was nice, quick and friendly and the food was as fresh as can be; perfect end to a long day of shopping in Green Street - look forward to coming again soon :))

Delicious food, first time here and it tasted amazing! Great atmosphere and decor, Super fast service and quality food!

I recently dined here and had an excellent experience. The staff was warm, attentive, and professional, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The food was exceptionally tasty, prepared with great attention to flavor and presentation. From start to finish, everything exceeded expectations. I would highly recommend this place to anyone seeking quality dining with outstanding service and a memorable culinary experience.

@mrschewschinesekitchen 🍜 serves authentic Chinese food all made with halal meat and ingredients. The menu includes a selection of starters, dim sum, wok, rice and more!

The portions are generous and the prices are on the average scale. The service however was slow so be sure to consider waiting time.

Here’s what we ordered:
- Beef Noodles 
- Special Fried Rice 
- Crab dim sum 
- Mrs Chows cooler (Mango & Lychee)

@halalgems's review of Mrs Chew’s Chinese Kitchen Westfield London on Instagram

Mrs Chew’s Chinese Kitchen, Westfield London

Among the plethora of vendors within the Westfield food court, Mrs Chews seems to be relatively popular, with a short queue on most occasions that I pass by. I finally visited on a Sunday, trying out their roast duck as well as the sweet & sour chicken. The latter was decent enough without being particularly memorable. I was more impressed by their roast duck, which was surprisingly good - not on the levels of Three Uncles or the Four Seasons of course - but definitely better than one would expect from a shopping mall food court.

Also worth noting that Mrs Chews is fully halal and does not serve any pork, making it one of a number of halal options within the food court (alongside Seoul Bird, Gopal’s Corner and a few others).

We paid £35 for our 2 meals which were generously portioned. Overall a decent lunch and one I would consider revisiting the next time I’m in Westfield.

We love the food at Mrs Chews. They have a good range of authentic asian food. We are a family of 4, we tried different dishes from yesterday and came back again today as the food was amazing. The food is halal too. We tried roast duck, chicken noodle, bbq char siu chicken, chicken fried rice. It was all really good! We didnt wait long for the food either 👍

We’re from Malaysia and take our Chinese food pretty seriously—so when we stumbled upon Mrs Chew at Westfield London, we honestly didn’t expect much. But wow, were we wrong!

The roast duck was the real standout—crispy skin, tender meat, and full of flavour. Absolutely spot on. The wonton soup was warm, comforting, and really tasty, and the xiao long bao (soup dumplings) were juicy and satisfying, just the way they should be. Even the egg fried rice, which can sometimes be an afterthought, was done really well—simple, fluffy, and nicely seasoned.

Everything tasted fresh and authentic, and you can tell they care about getting it right. It really reminded us of home. Service was quick and friendly too, which made the whole experience even better.

Definitely a great find—we’ll be back!

Had a quick meal at Mrs Chew’s at Westfield Shepherd’s Bush, and it hit the spot. This is your standard British version of Hong Kong-style Chinese fast food think noodle soups, roast meats, and rice bowls all served in a clean, modern setting.

It was very busy, which is probably a good sign. You order at the counter, get a buzzer, and wait to be called we waited just over 20 minutes, which wasn’t surprising given the crowd. That said, if you’re expecting ultra-fast takeaway, it might feel a little slow.

The food was a nice change from what we get back home in New Zealand familiar flavours, but just different enough to feel like a treat. Portion sizes were medium, which was fine for a quick lunch, but for the price, it could have been a bit more generous. Slightly on the pricey side, especially compared to similar places in Asia, but fair enough for central London in a major shopping centre.

Overall, a solid spot if you’re craving Chinese comfort food with a quick-service twist. Would go back especially for a fast casual option that’s different from the usual chains.

One of the best Halal dim sum and roasted duck restaurants. A must try when you are in London. The parking is convenient on the ground floor- spacious and light. Parking is about 6-7 pounds per hour.

Mrs Chew’s Chinese Kitchen

I popped down to my old neck of the woods to check out a new branch of @oodles_chinese it is located in Bakers Arms (on the border of Leyton and Walthamstow) a fully halal fast casual indo Chinese restaurant with value for money prices £6 to £7.50 for different size boxes. Portions are big and you can pick combinations of rice, noodles, chips and more. ⁣

I definitely recommend checking out the Chinese fried wings (I didn't have the schwezwan as previously mentioned) , they were so good. ⁣

You can pick your own toppings or pick a pre selected one. Pictured are the beef noodles, crispy prawns and crispy chicken. ⁣

Oh, if you mention @halalfoodguy when you order you get a FREE drink. Just show this post and make sure you like it. Tag that mate you gonna eat with! ⁣
All halal. No alcohol. My meal was complimentary. ⁣

Oodles Wok Walthamstow

Delicious food, friendly service and reasonable prices. My special favourite is the crispy tender chilli chicken, hinted with the perfect aroma of spice and heat.

We were served by Omar who was extremely kind and friendly. We chose the box meals which were delicious and filled to the brim and while browsing, the bento box caught my eye which it’s beautiful presentation. Prices were decent and the overall atmosphere was very nice
