Had an incredible meal at Mandarin Kitchen — easily one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in London. We started with the scallops, which were perfectly cooked and bursting with flavour, a great way to set the tone for the evening.

The star of the night was the Peking duck — crispy skin, tender meat, and wrapped with all the classic accompaniments, it was absolutely spot on. The lobster noodles were just as impressive: rich, indulgent, and cooked to perfection. We also had mushrooms on the side, which balanced the meal beautifully and added that extra depth of flavour.

Service was quick, attentive, and friendly, even though the restaurant was buzzing — the staff kept everything running smoothly and made us feel well looked after.

Mandarin Kitchen really delivers on quality, flavour, and atmosphere. If you love Chinese food done exceptionally well, this place is a must-visit.

I had been curious about visiting Mandarin Kitchen, as I had often seen people waiting outside the restaurant when passing by. I did some research and found they were known for their seafood, especially their Lobster Noodles.

I had a three course meal of Steamed Scallops, Fried Baby Squid with Garlic & Chilli, Lobster Noodles with Ginger & Spring Onion and Toffee Banana. Everything I had was excellent. The scallops were well cooked and the squid was juicy and had lots of flavour. Even the toffee banana was great. Crunchy on the outside and soft inside.

The Lobster Noodles were definitely the highlight. I appreciated that they offered to remove the lobster meat from the shell for me. It not only tasted wonderful but was very filling. It was definitely one of the best noodles dishes I have had in a long time.

The service was also good. In particular, Alex who arranged my reservation was very helpful, but the restaurant servers were also attentive and kind and the wait between dishes was minimal.

One thing I would say is that the restaurant is rather noisy and so I would not say it is ideal for a quiet or intimate meal. I was glad that I had my noise cancelling headphones. I would also recommend making a reservation, as it was very busy, especially for a weekday evening.

I can definitely recommend Mandarin Kitchen if you fancy having Chinese cuisine, especially seafood.

Amazing food, amazing service and great atmosphere.

We organized a special family meal to celebrate a 40th and 50th birthday and have to say everything was simply amazing.

The scallop starter was the best scallops I have had and the lobster noodles are worth visiting for.

Special thanks to Alex for organizing it so well for us.

We had a three course meal with Peking duck, lobster noodles; squid, fried rice and mixed vegetables because it was highly recommended by customer reviews. Unfortunately the food was a bit disappointing- the lobster was fresh but the noodles were too salty; the Peking duck was dry and the skin was too burnt; the fried rice was good. But the seasonal vegetables were mostly canned vegetables like straw mushroom and baby corn with some beansprouts. Half way through the main course, we were given the bill and were told that they needed the table for the next group of customers. We were never told that there was a time limit when we booked the table. We spent £170 for a dinner that we couldn’t even finish. I would not recommend.

Delicious Chinese food, not greasy. Drunken chicken, the alcohol taste is quite strong but good. Overall me and my friends and very satisfied. Reservations recommend.
