I went there in an autumn wet day for lunch. Surprisingly, many tables are seated. Thought the ginger lobster noodles is a bit expensive compared to other dishes, it is worth trying. Staff are helpful, and hospitality. We ordered only two dishes, Ginger Lobster Noodles and Drunken Chicken, with a bowl of steamed rice. That is sufficient for a couple.

Great place to have a big family feud dinner! I would advise to book in advance during peak dinner times and they only take telephone bookings as of yet. Been here plenty of times and the food is consistently delicious! You wouldn’t want to come here without ordering the famous lobster noodles with ginger and spring onion which is our family fav, plus the beef ho fun and sesame prawn toast. If you have room for dessert, top it up off with an order of banana fritters with ice cream. Yum! Service is generally polite and dependent on who serves you on the day tbh. The place is a little cramped when it gets busy and you may find yourself brushing a couple of chairs navigating the way to the restroom which is up 2 flights of narrow stairs. It would be great if they could accommodate a disabled friendly toilet downstairs.

If you are looking for a genuine Chinese food experience then look no further than Mandarin Kitchen. The hustle and bustle of a busy Chinese restaurant adds to the experience. No airs and graces just good food, service and atmosphere.

We dined like emperors. Two of us took down half a roasted duck, half a drunken chicken, fried prawns in egg yolk, lobster over soft noodles and morning glory. The menu is extensive but looking around at what others were being served suggests everything was as good as that we ate. We finished with toffee apple and ice cream. That was nice but my only ask would be a few more Asian choices such as mango sago pudding!

The service is attentive and the food flew out of the kitchen piping hot and perfectly cooked. That said, we were not rushed and having been seated at 7pm, left happy and full just before 11pm.

Located just across the road from Queensway on the Central Line makes this an essay get to and from for those in London.

The bill came to £90 each, which is arguably on the tad expensive side although given the amount of food we are would normally have fed four it was pretty reasonable!

Happy eating. I’m definitely returning!

Don’t know why this restaurant is so popular. Mediocre food and service. I think easily can get from China town. The duck was recommended and it’s super “dry”. Clams was a bit overcook and the large prawn is nothing special too. The lobster noodles is the best among all as the meat is tender and sweet. Won’t be coming back for sure.

I've wanted to come here for a while to try the lobster noodles and they didn't disappoint. Our group of eight shared two lobster noodles and 1.5 duck, salt and pepper squid, salted egg yolk prawns, green beans with garlic, braised seafood noodles and beef hor fun. I'd recommend coming specificially for the lobster noodles and duck as the other dishes were just okay. The service was quite slow and despite having a reservation, we waited at least 10 minuted to be seated and had to constantly flag down staff.
