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.
