Order a chicken salty fish fried rice large they charge me £11. They put in a 650oz box but fill the rice up like in a 500z box. Basically I pay for a L they give me a S. Even the 650oz I put straight up it's look still less in the 500. Come on I work in a takeaway doing the packing as well if the amount of the value not right I return to the chef to fill up, I wouldn't handle to customers like that. This is such a rip off and dishonest business. Also chicken is more than salty fish, even I can't hardly see or taste the fish, it looks like tinny half of the 1 blackbeans chop into 50pieces. Let say u buy 1jar salty fish for less than £10. And make £3000 of it ....

Really good service. Flavourful duck!! Very popular, so be prepared for a wait during dinner time. Went with a very happy vegetarian. Will come again.

Not the most welcoming of entrances however persevere as The food is amazing. There is always a queue but it normally goes quickly as there is an upstairs seating too. The decor needs updating but if you look past that then you will have a great time. The service is quick and efficient. The chicken fried satay is excellent and the duck is always a good shout. A must in China town!

Great food. It's almost always super busy, so there can be a queue for a table. Once you have a table and have ordered the food comes very quickly.
We went with a good of five, got a huge circular table and had a nice chat over dinner.

Good roast duck and Chinese dishes. Portion are generous and prices reasonable.
Recommended for Chinatown London.

The menu is very large with a lot of your typical Chinese food outside China fare, but head to the back page and there are a number of unique dishes from Malaysia/Singapore and Macau. The Macau-style pork chop (slathered with cheese and onions) is the ultimate comfort food. The Curry Laksa was pleasantly spicy and stuffed with all kinds of seafood. Service was excellent and the owners were very friendly and accommodating.

Hits the spot for me.

Looks like newly renovated or opened the restaurant. The restaurant environment is presentable. I don’t like the sauce of the roast duck. Dry fried beef rice noodles was missing yellow chives. The steamed fish was good but not impressive. The waiter didn’t ask me whether we wanted all dishes bring on the table together. He decided that he wanted to bring all dishes on together. So we waited a longer time. I think he should asked when he took order. We rather him brought dish whenever it is ready.

Great place serving good quality Hong Kong style food with helpful staff.
I had the roast meat with rice and was not disappointed at Al! The red bean ice was also refreshing and fresh. A golden oldie in China town!

If you wants cheap and cheerful Chinese food, served quickly, this is a place to go. Staff were helpful and friendly, the food was good but not the best I've ever had (the egg was saltier than I liked).

This is a little gem. Have eaten some of the best Chinese food I think I've ever eaten tonight. Good service and food arrived quickly, fresh and piping hot. Thoroughly recommended, we will certainly return.

We decided to go with the £15 per person set menu. There’s definitely a lot of food that comes with the set menu for two people and better value compared to ordering separate dishes. We were quite pleased with our dinner. Standout dish was the sweet and sour pork! Everything else was at a good standard although the duck we had with the pancakes was slightly dry. Overall service was great and food was good.

This is my absolute first experience of a Chinese restaurant in China Town that I have experienced in London ever since I came here to study which dated back from October 2017! I since try to drop by once in a while!
For China Town standards, service is quite good! No smile, no extras, but it's fast, attentive and efficient! You can never go wrong with a set of roast meat in China Town (Duck is one of the better ones!)
Also, try the jelly fish if you're feeling wild!
For dessert, try the bean curd in Mango sago! Very refreshing and a great way to end the experience on a good note. (We once got an old batch which tasted funny but they will replace it for you )
Quite big portion but too tasty to share between two people :)

Try this if u are a Chinese traveler craving familiar food while in London. The roasted duck rice is good and comes with white cabbage instead of the usual cucumber. Ordered the laksa curry as well. Portion was huge but the taste is average. Overall, it’s familiar comfort food at a price that is triple or quadruple what I would pay at home. But then, what do u expect in London...????

Really tasty food and such friendly staff. I hope they survive through this COVID period. There was so much food to choose from, I’d particularly recommend the soft shell crab and the duck, both were exquisite. Can’t wait to come back again soon.

The Hongkongese man wearing glasses is really nasty. He spoke Mandarin to us with a rising tone-which is typical when you scold kids in Mandarin. I feel uncomfortable every time being served by this man. We will never go there again.

Good place if you fancy traditional Chinese food. The staff is very friendly and dishes are served fast. London standard prices so no cheap escape. It's a good place to have dinner and I would definitely return but it's nothing super extravagant.

Picture : mango and sago dessert. It's pretty okay, sweet and cold and gets the job done, but tastes overly fake. Like I know it's fake, but if food could talk this dessert would be holding a megaphone yelling, "I'M MADE OF FAKE PROCESSED STUFF."

I went here and was quite nice. I had the crispy noodles with crispy pork but they gave some sauce which was basically a kind of slime. Might go back again but will try something different on the menu to be completely honest.

The stone pot dishes taste better than roasted meat dishes and seafood, friendly service, sometimes waiters give too much advice which makes the customers feel like they are being pushed to order more dishes.

Some bad experience with the place. Me and 3 of my friends had our lunch in another place and we thought to go in for some desserts. The restaurant was about 35% occupied. I was very full from lunch, so I've let my other 3 friends to order their desserts. The waiter came and told us, we need to order at least 4 foods as minimum order. I've told them I'm all full from lunch and they can have 3 items. But he keeps forcing me to order at least a drink. I was so full that Im being force to order something to stay in a place with my friends. Not recommended. I know business is bad, but you don't force people to order stuff they don't want. It's not like there's a queue coming to your shop at all. Won't return to this place for sure. My first and last visit

Proprietor was obviously very racist towards Asians. Rude and obnoxious; not to mention the glare he gave to us while we were having our meal. Never will we ever step foot in this place ever nor recommend it to anyone. Food wise, we have eaten much better tasting and texture else where. Duck meat we ordered with the pancakes was so dry and rough.
Bottom line is that the meal we paid for is definitely NOT worth it!

Staffs are rude. Food tasted horrible. Especially the meat in the dish, the colour looks strange and tastes expired. Must avoid.

Best Chinese street food in London (bar none) - be sure to have the milky tea (like a Te Tarik)

HONG KONGERS REJOICE!!! Hands down one of the best places to get a taste of home! Their Hong Kong style milk tea is TO DIE FOR! The owner, being a big fan of proper hk style milk tea ensures that it tastes from your local cha chaan teng back home! Food is also delicious, though some dishes are a little pricey. Simpler stuff don't cost much though - their dried scallop seafood fried rice is litetally the best I've had in the world (yup, even better than HK!). Oh and if you're craving a dessert, be prepared to cream your pants!

I used to love food + dessert from TPT, but found the dessert take away portion becomes poor, only 1/2 container！Definitely 1/3 less than before ...

Probably the most “Hong Kong” place of all of Chinatown. Authentic char siu and pork belly, add some vegetables and a milk tea, and you might just think you’re in the fragrant harbour for a second! Service is also authentic (read: quick, efficient and impersonal). Reasonably priced.

This has been my fave chinese haunt for several years, delicious cantonese street food, reasonably priced, menu can be overwhelming like most Chinese restaurants. Best dishes to get our the Boneless roast duck, Curry beef flank and braised brisket hot pot.

Great place to eat some well made traditional food, prices are very good for the portions they give, I'd be surprised if you leave hungry. Would really recommend their curry laksah. Most drinks are a bit pricey but that's pretty normal in restaurants, although they do offer Chinese tea for just £1.10 per head. Place is almost always bumbling with people, if going in big groups can still recommend as I think some table fit up to 7-8 people. Would recommend this place if you are hungry and in the area.

There are loads of Chinese restaurants in Chinatown so avoid this place. Hygiene is really bad here. Chopping cooked meat with bare hands after touching all other things. They pack takeaway food in a sink meant for dirty dishes ( check out how they do it on level 2) Don't come here. Malaysia food ? - go to C&R just round the corner. Roast - four seasons.

This is literally the worst Chinese meal we've ever had. One of the dishes contained CORNFLAKES fried with egg and cheese. Overpriced. Had to request soy sauce and sweet chilli sauce- got attitude from the waiter when I asked for a glass of water. Such a shame. Will never go back.

Service was quick and easy. Food came within 5-10 minutes (mainly because we were the first customers) I had the Singapore fried noodles and they tasted great! Interesting South Eastern and Chinese dishes with a few of the classics, the price range is roughly the China town average with rice/noodles dishes being around £8-10. Overall recommend if you're running a party of 2 or less people.
