Elegant, comfortable setting for inventive Malaysian-Chinese dishes, run by a husband and wife team.

We made a trip to Zheng Chelsea a couple of weeks ago 🍜🍛

Food: the food at Zheng Chelsea wasn’t as delicious as we thought it would be (as it clearly pictures very well!) The Beef Rendang was nice and had a kick to it, but the Singapore Noodles were quite average 🙄. The Chilli Salt and Pepper Squid was, actually, surprisingly chilli, which we enjoyed.
Service: it was very quiet in the restaurant but the waiters seemed quite tired 🤷🏽‍♀️

The Roast Duck from Malaysian restaurant @zheng__chelsea .

This was only my 2nd time trying duck - I used to have a rule where I don't eat Disney Characters! So no Duck or Venison/deer. I'm glad I made an exception as this dish was absolutely delicious. The duck was tasty, tender, juicy full of flavour. I totally recommended this! .

If you looking for a halal Malaysian 🇲🇾 with nice decor then this place is a good shout .

All meat is halal, alcohol served. I was invited to review the food, my meal was complimentary and thoughts my own. There's a full review on the blog. Halalfoodguy.co.uk

Zheng

Zheng is a restaurant that caters in Chinese as well as malay specials. Their noodles are to die for. Also makes for terrific hangover food! Place is friendly and food is always fresh. Would recommend for sure

Business lunch perfect spot . Attentive. Food was absolutely delicious. Flavours temperature perfect. All the choices where my favourite
Presentation of the dishes are to a great skill. Highly recommended venue.

Very good Chinese-Malaysian restaurant. We had dinner and tried Dim sum to start, beef and chicken to follow. All the dishes were vey good as well as the service. Good job well done.

Zheng follows on from the success of its first branch in Oxford.

Nevertheless, as impressive as the feedback has been for the latter, no less from the Godfather of Cantonese Cooking, Ken Hom, who succinctly concluded: "Great food!" or The Times Giles Coren who considered it: "Possibly the best authentic Chinese-Malaysian in the country", we weren't quite as enamoured by its Chelsea counterpart.

While the set up of the place was thoroughly refined and elegant, including impeccable service with all food being served on warm plates where applicable, a few of the dishes didn't quite match the restaurant's ostentatious theme.

Having said that though, and despite the Chelsea-inspired prices, there were a few outstanding ones that we'd definitely come back for.

If you're looking for Malaysian-Chinese fusion food in fancy surroundings, Zheng Chelsea is the place.

And be sure to take those few steps down to the basement to marvel over a framed rendition of James Dean's classic, Rebel Without a Cause, if only to see what a whopping £80,000 painting looks like!

Menu Recommendation

Drinks - Zheng Ice Coffee
Starter - Fresh Seaweed Salad; Sesame Prawn Toast
Main - Stewed Aubergine; Char Kuey Teow
Dessert - Sagu Melaka

Amazing restaurant around the corner. Very clean and above standards. A bit expensive but for the quality of food it was a good deal. Portions a bit small but enough to fill you up. Prawn fritters were well fried and very tasty. I’d recommend
