The famed Soho purveyor of the golden trio of roasted meats: duck, char siu (barbecued pork) and siew yoke (crispy belly pork). Any of them - or all three - on a plate with rice is reason enough to return for more of the same, but it's also worth trying other dishes on the extensive menu. Soya chicken is usually to be recommended, as are the stir-fried green beans with pork. Staff are particularly offhand during busy hours, and the meal-end plate of oranges is a not-so-subtle hint that there are other customers waiting.

The main host is so rude and when waiting in line he unfairly seats other people ahead of you. Poor service and totally over rated!!! Check your bill very carefully. Kitchen hygiene is not great.
Try crispy duck restaurant a few doors down. Way better!

You'll find four seasons has the biggest queues out of all of the restaurants in China Town, mostly consisting of South-East Asians, and this is for a reason - it's the best duck place outside Beijing - no exaggeration. Ignore what the other reviews said, have the duck and you won't be disappointed. I must have been there over 20 times and keep coming back.

I am a regular restaurant goer and happy to pay tips. If they deserved more I will add further or double tips. The way I see it the waiter lives on the tips and if you're not happy about the service but you like the food then just pay the 10% s/c (the american offer 15% most of the time). if you cannot afford the s/c than don't go out for a meal stay at home! Some customers offer 10% plus more because they enjoy the environment too...Don't go back if you are not happy instead of writing comments about service/charge. Its very individual thing.

Mediocre at best. WATCH OUT for the bill. They add a service charge, but the tape has no total and the amount was presented on a hand written separate VAT invoice. We stopped to do the math and avoided a double tip, to the obvious disappointment of the waitress.

I don't know if this is legal in Britain, but it should be.
