This is a *fantastic* restaurant. I visited as a solo diner during a short vacation to London, and…read moreit was so phenomenal I came back a second time two days later (i.e, for two of my six dinners). The flavors are incredible and it's also cosy and relaxed. Service is very attentive and helpful with suggestions. Finally, unlike most other places in the area, nothing is over- priced. Good portions and...I can't reiterate this enough--SO DELICIOUS. Thanks for being so welcoming, Ma La! Try: Dan Dan, boiled beef (extra spicy), Ma La Prawns, and fried soft shell crab.

My last meal of this trip to London, and it was a good one. I reserved my solo seat at A. Wong as…read moresoon as the reservations opened. I was seated upon arrival. Food: I reserved the vegetarian tasting menu. It was very good. Each plate was tasty, but admittedly a little forgetful. I know I enjoyed my meal, but I could not tell you which dish was my favorite. Every thing was well plated and pleasing to the eye though. Service: Service was generally good. I was seated at the bar area, understandable as a solo reservation. However, given how the dishes came out, I didn't have enough space most of the time for the dishes. The servers and such were all nice and knowledgeable. They were trained well. My main server did stand uncomfortably close to me a few times to describe my meal. He also asked pointedly why I chose the vegetarian option that evening. He seemed bothered when I said it was because I was vegetarian. However, even with these minor details, it was still good service overall. TL;DR - a michelin take on Chinese food that was tasty with decent service.

Awarded 2* from Michelin, a Tasting Menu only affair dubbed 'Collections of China' offering over one hundred Ingredients across six courses and thirty items, guests are greeted warmly at a space that looks largely like any other celebratory Chinese Restaurant featuring a pleasant but professional staff. A work of passion, all of it orchestrated by Chef Wong who has used travel to pursue his own interpretation of regional cuisine, servers are careful to explain each course and the order in which it should be consumed to maximize the experience. Seated close to the kitchen, Wong manning the pass with bright aromas and flashes of flame occasionally drawing eyes, Cocktails are a highlight and Teas are carefully selected to match 'The Banquet', 'Dim Sum', 'Fish', 'Snacks', 'Five Flavours' and 'Fruits' to finish. Fast paced but never rushed, the entire experience lasting roughly three hours, "Scalded Oysters" and "Smacked" Cucumbers offer a bold introduction while two types of Sweet Potato give way to succulent roast Pork glazed with Honey and topped by nuts adjacent dried and grated Duck Liver.

I agree with other reviewers that this doesn't seem like it's mass/advance prepared - our spring onion/ginger beef had a fresh and well infused taste. Generous portions and lots of happy faces around the restaurants - they deal well with groups, one of which had a nice circular table. You might not be blown away but it's reasonably priced and unlikely to seriously disappoint.

Clearly feeling overwhelmed. Placed an online order that was projected to be ready at 8:10 pm. I got there at about 8:15pm and the woman that greeted me was pretty calm cool and collected even though the place was JAM PACKED- with several people waiting outside to pick up delivery orders or waiting to be seated. She was multitasking for sure- taking orders at tables, dealing with Uber Eats folks, as well as people coming in for a table, and me picking up my online order. It was a bit of chaos but she said to give her 2 mins. I said I'll give you 5 trying to be cool because she was working hard. About 13 mins later a young woman (20s or so) came over and asked me to step outside. I politely told her 'that woman' (pointed in the nice lady's direction) said I could wait here, so I'd rather stay here to get my order. Based on her facial expression and the fact that she went to another employee to obviously complain about me - I wasn't going to budge - and get sent outside to be forgotten about. My order was given to me by the nice woman about 8:45pm- 35 mins after the time stated online. A bit aggravating for sure but thanked the nice lady for being so nice. Speaking from my personal and professional experience people can generally forgive a lot of things if the person they are dealing with is nice. All that to let you know that my family and I thought the food was pretty darn good. I will definitely get the chicken wings again as they were cooked perfectly and with just the right amount of crispness to them.

The restaurant is set up very neat. I loved the decor of the place. The thai tea was not overly sweet or bitter. We also had veggie spring rolls that were so crispy!

It's not the best Chinese I've ever had, but certainly gets the job done and nothing has been wrong with the food. Szechuan Chicken in Garlic Chili Sauce -- good. Could use more spice, but I think things very spicy. Egg Fried Rice -- simple, good, what you'd expect. Crispy Seaweeds -- never had these before.

Firecracker was a fun little joint that almost seems hidden from the street. You walk down a flight of stairs and a cute restaurant with private karaoke rooms is waiting for you! I was quite impressed with how well the rooms held the karaoke music in- we really only heard what was happening when people were walking in and out of their rooms. We ordered some soup and dim sum and everything was quite tasty! I did knock a star because truthfully service was not great, but it didn't appear to be that way for everyone. It felt like the staff heard our accent and was attentive to everyone in the restaurant except us.

I loved their bento boxes because you can do many variety of options and pick and choose as you wish. In my case I had all proteins and few vegetables. Our office has avocados and fruits so I didn't feel that I needed that extra layer of veggies. For 9 £, or under 12 bucks, one can get a whole lot more lunch than one would get, say from San Francisco. I also found the decor surprisingly pan Asia which is neat. This is one of the approachable places you could get by Westminster Abbey, and given how sad and limited the food choices are around here, I would give it a four star - simply it's within walking distance from work and it's what you'd expect from an Asian fusion restaurant.
