    Food was awesome, service was spectacular with lots of attention to detail. Ambiance was fun and romantic. We started off with a bunch of dim sun. It was very delicious and everyone at the table loved it. We then had over 10 different dishes with our large party. All of it was amazing. The peppered beef was very tender, my kids ate and inhaled all the noodles. The orange chicken was perfect and was the first thing to go. My father-in-law loved the cashew chicken. Would come back again!

    We tried this restaurant in Harrod's mall . It was a domain also. We have to fall I. Line to get in . It's a decent space and has a bar. The dishes we ordered were pricey and came in a small servings. Fried Rice King Prawn was ok. The prawn were cooked perfectly. At first they mistakenly brought fried rice with egg until I told them wrong dish. The wonton soup cost $20 lbs but the serving was a small bowl with 3 wonton . The Singapore vermicelli was bland and spicy . No veggies added. So with my experience, it is a regular Chinese restaurant with pricey cost, small serving and not so good service.

    Bird nest soup!

    Bird nest soup... do I need to say more? If you are craving some true Asian delights, this is the place to go. Duck that is being served at your table with fragrance that will transport you to Beijing, The place is beautiful, the service is formal and perfect. They have an extensive wine list for every flavor and a menu with all the classics. My favorite restaurant in London!

    I have dined at China Tang several times over the last decade on visits to London. This was my first post COVID and although having to adjust my expectations somewhat feel that there is work to do to get this restaurant back on track. We had a glass of champagne which was not poured at the table, seemed a little light on the bubbles and a flute three quarters full at the princely sum of twenty five pounds. A polite word with the manager led to them doubling down saying, "this is how we always do this". OK.... The food was not up to par - the chicken squab was tasteless, the prawns though were decent. I feel that whilst a challenging time for the hospitality industry it is likely better to offer a reduced menu at the highest standards than allow things to slide and hide behind the pandemic. It risks regulars moving on especially as new openings gather pace...

    This place does not bring you back to the Tang dynasty, but it does bring you back in time to the early 20th century. The venue is an enthralling Chinese and art deco fusion by David Tang and is located inside The Dorchester. The stairs down to the restaurant almost give it a seductive speakeasy vibe, and the beautiful cocktail bar and Chinese artwork only add to that vibe. The restaurant is open starting from lunch, and the food is authentic Cantonese cuisine. Dim sum and other dishes are served all day from opening to closing. I had dim sum here for lunch and tried the har kau, siu mai, and congee. All were extremely tasty, though the portion sizes are on the smaller size. China Tang is authentic food in a fine dining setting, and the prices reflect the food quality and ambiance. This is not a casual dim sum cafe where people read a newspaper while enjoying their food, and dim sum carts are not pushed around here. This is a place to go for a unique experience that may be exotic or nostalgic.

    Given that I am prone to strange cravings brought upon mostly by nostalgia, I didn't think twice…read morewhen my friend visited from Japan wanting "Panda Express" Chinese. Thinking to myself, "How hard could it be to find mall-quality faux Chinese food?" I steered us to Kam Fung. She could get her kung pao chicken and I figured I'd find something. Hainanese chicken rice seemed like a good choice so I went with that. What arrived at our table made Panda Express look like a darn delicacy! I'd take fried fluorescent orange poultry over this any day of the week. My Hainanese chicken rice was goopy and unappetising and tasted worse than it looked. My friend fared slightly better with her order but not by much. I felt majorly ripped off paying the bill and still had hunger pangs as we left. To Kam Fung, I would not return.

    God, I love Kam Fung. I used to live just behind it more or less, so this would be our regular spot…read morefor take-aways. It is unarguably the best Chinese take-away I've tried in London, though it loses out by a hair to some other places in the dine-in stakes. Their portions are HUGE which is reflected in slightly higher prices than a bog-standard Chinese, but you very much get what you pay for. Their duck is great, thai roast pork is amazing with a beautiful vinaigrette swimming with garlic and chilli. Crispy beef are incredibly moreish and the best I've ever had. Of all the years of having food at Kam Fung I didn't once have a duff dish, though as Joanne's friend (see review below) advised, that may be because I dodged the clichéd dishes. Stick with something other than the faux-Chinese BS that pervades every menu in this country and you'll do fine! Service is friendly, prices are very reasonable, food is excellent. Fully deserving of 5 stars as it does what it sets out to do excellently. It may not be the most refined restaurant, but within its field it is unquestionably the best.

    Overall: 5 stars…read more Fantastic chain that offers an elevated take on Cantonese classics. I found the menu to be innovatively exciting and appropriately uses prized ingredients to elevate traditional technique without completely reinventing the wheel. Everything we ordered tasted very pleasant and excitingly luxurious on the palette. [ PART I ] Swimmer Crab Dumpling - Flavorful dumpling that retains the natural sweetness of the crab and brightened by that beautiful orange skin. Lobster Dumpling - Indulgent dumpling where the natural lobster is clearly tastable, and elevated with a touch of caviar on the beautifully crimpled crystal skin. Dover Sole Dumpling - Tender and comforting dumpling that offers a classic light flavor profile of white fish, ginger, and scallion. Truffle Siu Mai - Beautiful dumpling that has the perfect mixture of prawn, pork, and scallop. The truffle adds a complementary earthiness that works well. [ PART II ] Prawn and Gai Lan Cheung Fun - Well made dish that has intriguing layers of texture, with the crisp being the fried bean curd wrapping. I think this combination would taste even better if it were whole shrimp instead of shrimp paste/meatball and not deep fried since their other cheung fun is also crispy. Wild Mushroom Cheung Fun - morel and wild mushroom take on cheung fun is a indulgent luxury; it works well inside of the chinese donut crisp, creating a medley of textures from the soft rice crepe to the high surface area mushrooms to the crisp. Black Truffle Roasted Duck - Impressively flavorful duck dish that is powered by that additive truffle sauce. The duck is tender and goes diabolically comforting with rice. Iberico Cha Siu - Such a prime cut of honey glazed pork that has the sweetness and the balance between fat and meat of the pork. The mustard adds a light tingyness, while the michelin shaped radish offers some acidic relief. I also like that they added the Siu Yuk element with the crisp chicharron on top.

    Our favorite Michelin so far. We have been collecting Michelin Starred restaurant experiences for a…read morefew years and had to try this on our recent UK leg of our honeymoon. And it immediately became our favorite so far. It may seem strange to say that then give it only 4 stars but the only item that was odd to us was the way you order. It was quite unclear. It is a set menue, with various price points. It was not made clear to us initially that when choosing a menu, you are choosing the ENTIRE MENU, not choosing a menu then items off that chosen set list. Had we understood that we may have gone with something else as I have stomach issues that making eating out a bit of an ordeal. So when talking about a set menu at this price point that can get quite tricky as you can imagine. However4 I did notify the staff at the time of booking and they did go above and beyond to distinctly point out everything that may be problematic for me in each dish. I did not end up having issues post meal. It was also quite loud and we're just getting older and have less of a tolerance for that now. The food was all delicious, even if we weren't totally sure what were eating all the time. They did not scoff at or seem judgey when I had to ask for a fork - I'm just really bad with chopsticks (think food flinging out of my hand into my lap) I did not love my specialty Negroni that I ordered off the cocktail menu. It was very sweet for a Negroni, but I did love my second, classic, basic one. it was very good. My husband loved both of his drinks (Old Fashioned's). They also comped our desserts and sent out a special Happy Honeymoon message on one additional dessert, which was very sweet and unexpected of them. A note I constantly see on Michelin starred restaurants as a complaint is that you spend a lot of money to leave a bit hungry, and yes it is very expensive, but we were not hungry when we left. It is hardly a normal price point but you are getting a great evening and not leaving hungry.
