The first thing you’ll notice at this Chinatown institution is a row of crispy, tender Cantonese roast meats hanging in the window wafting its deliciousness beckoning you to enter. Evidently, that should be your go-to order. Famed for those three pillars of Cantonese cuisine: roast duck, char siu pork and crispy pork. Tuck into pure meaty succulence and flavourful intensity, and served in generous portions.
Chinatown is one of London's most truly delicious neighbourhoods. London's Chinatown was first found in Limehouse in the East End, but relocated just south of Soho in the 1970s, with some of the first to open here Poon's Restaurant on Lisle Street, which sadly closed in 2003, Kowloon Restaurant and Loon Fung supermarket, which you can still find on Gerrard Street. Chinatown is always busy, and with good reason; there are over 80 restaurants packed into these central London streets. Here you can savour Sichuanese cuisine and dim sum at some of the capital's best Chinese restaurants, but you can also find amazing Thai, Taiwanese and Malaysian restaurants in this historic location. Read on for Time Out's list of the best places to eat in Chinatown.
