Mandarin Kitchen in City of London

V good . The soup portion was rather small.The best was Prawn sesame toast. Highly recommended.Sweat and sour chicken and sizzling beef with black bean and chilli sauce were remarkable.Good dining experience. Prior booking is recommended as it was full at 8:00 pm on a Wednesday night.

Worse experience ever. We went here years ago before they renovated food was great especially the lobster noodle.We went back again recently, get treated terribly. My boss had the premium treatment while I had the poor man treatment. The staff that is tall with glasses is the most terrible. They will pretend that they didn't see you and what ever they come out from the mouth is not pleasant.I remember I ask for a menu, the tall guy with glasses told me they don't have menu here. Lucky the lady was very nice to bring it for me.Think twice when u want to walk in here again. If Ur skin is white.. probably u get a good service. But if Ur skin is yellow..Good luck

Great Chinese restaurant for seafood lovers! The crab noodles were huge and yummy! I loved the salt and pepper squid, and the pork belly preserved vegetables dish! Highly recommend! Big veggie dishes in terms of portions :)

Long-standing institution and family-run business that manages to do remarkably well despite the challenges of Covid and supply chain issues.Alex and Robert are always exceedingly hospitable and friendly. The menu offers traditional Cantonese fare and the seafood is the main attraction with the lobster noodles worth travelling across the globe for as evidenced by their international clientele.Our favourites include the sesame prawn toast, the Mandarin (京都) ribs and are always a hit with the children.The interior is well-decorated and clean, there was a buzzy atmosphere for the Lunar New Year and staff are always efficient. We certainly intend to return as much as we can and have eaten here on many happy occasions.

Came here to try the lobster noodles and it did not disappoint. It was delicious and the staff were on hand to mix and dish it out for us. We also tried the fish in sweet and sour sauce which I would highly recommend. Other dishes were the crispy squid, stuffed bean curd and Pak choi. So full afterwards and very satisfied. Would definitely visit here again and service was good

I have to say this is the best LOBSTER NOODLES you can find in London! The lobster is well cooked, not too chewy or undercooked. Each noodle was fully glazed with the sauce from the lobster. Absolutely a masterpiece!Another bonus was the friendly staff, they did amazingly to make us feel welcomed.這家喜相逢的龍蝦伊麵很新鮮，做得非常好。

Best place for lobster noodles, nice staff and atmosphere; photo shows peppered steak, crab with morning glory and ginger and spring onion lobster noodles.

This restaurant has been around for so long and is still going strong! Authentic Chinese food and best seller must be its Lobster noodles. The soup is really good too! It's very crowded on weekends and best to make reservations at least a day ahead.

Authentic tasty Chinese food! This place was popular with the locals and it was buzzing during a busy lunch time service, so service was understandably a little slow. Everything that was order was super tasty and would highly recommend the lobster noodles. Overall it is a little pricy, however considering the location and of course because it is predominantly a seafood restaurant, this is to be expected.Conveniently located right within walking distance of Queensway station and Bayswater station.

This must be the most authentic Cantonese seafood I have had. I’m from Hong Kong and I have tried most restaurants in London. The seafood here was fresh and so big and juicy- our waiters kindly informed us it was from Scottish waters. Can not get seafood so big in Hong Kong for such a reasonable price as it was here. We only went for the seafood but I also saw the familiar classic Cantonese dishes on diners plates which looked excellent too. This created a lively mix of customers some who wanted classic quality Chinese but also those like us who wanted the best seafood (in our opinion Chinese people do seafood the best, this place was an example of why). I would say this is beyond your average Chinese restaurants because here they paid excellent attention to the presentation and customer service but still retained that Chinese flair and flavour that you want. In Chinatown the meals can feel rushed but here was such a wonderful, higher end experience for our family reunion at a great price so it was really special.Recommend:Signature lobster noodlesSteamed king scallopGigantic tiger prawnPan fried Chilean sea bassFried baby squid with chilli and salt (so tender)And then top it off with toffee banana ice cream!!
