I ended up at this restaurant while shopping near Harrods and was pleasantly surprised by this fantastic little find. The menu offers elevated Chinese dishes and family-style dining and feels like a happy medium between Chinese take-out and fine dining. The chicken and chive dumplings were cooked perfectly being both pan fried and steamed and had a delicious dipping sauce. We also ordered the hot and sour soup, which at the beginning felt to be too thick but got a little hotter and tastier as we ate. Along with the starters we ordered the crispy duck with pancakes and Shanghai Chili chicken which both tasted fresh and flavorful. The food was fantastic, however my only complaint was that the service was slow. We waited at least 15 minutes between each course and spent over 1.5 hours at the restaurant for lunch. Highly recommended for a relaxing meal or as a date spot!
I rarely order Chinese food, as it can often go so wrong, but not this time! Normally I find the garnish on crispy squid to be bland or stale, that just wasn't the case here, it was delicious and fresh. The wontons were crispy and contained large whole shrimp and the chowmein did not disappoint either. This was served with an incredibly tender lamb satay.
Although it wasn't the cheapest takeaway, this recommendation was worth every penny.
