I’d highly recommend this spot it was the perfect dinner for after skating across the road. I started with the wonton soup and it was perfect for a winters day not too heavy and the wontons themselves were so flavourful. One of my friends ordered the chicken and sweetcorn soup and it was so creamy and the sweetcorn flavour was delightful it was almost like a sweetcorn puree. We also started with some prawn toast which was super fresh and it even had a slight crunch from the prawns and we ordered the duck spring rolls which came with some sweet chill sauce but the prawn toast dipped in the sauce was an excellent addition. The duck rolls were super fresh and flavourful the spices paired with the duck immaculate. For mains we had the barbecued pork this is an absolute need. The pork was so tender and literally melted in the mouth we ordered some garlic pak choi and it paired excellently with the meat. The pak choi itself was seasoned to perfection I’d highly recommend this. And we also had some lemon chicken which was so succulent and the sauce was perfectly lemony and all of the chicken pieces were the perfect bite size. We also had the iced lemon tea for drinks it was super delicious not too sweet but you could definitely taste the lemon and my friend had the fruit punch which was very citrusy which she enjoyed.
We did book ahead and I would recommend in doing so as it was pretty busy and for a good reason. The restaurant was pretty and I liked the decor. The staff were super friendly and helpful I would definitely come back.
I heard great things about this restaurant, especially their signature dish the lobster with noodles. Finally got a chance to try it and it was very very good. The lobster noodles with ginger and spring onion sauce was extremely delicious. I noticed almost every table in the restaurant had ordered this same dish. Shared this dish with a friend and there was plenty of lobster meat to go around. It's also very reasonably priced. Beef Ho Fun was also very good, plenty to "wok air" and was super tasty. Scallops was a good size and fresh. The soft shell crap was another delicious dish. Services was on point and very friendly.
Definitely recommend this restaurant and I'll be back very soon
This place os amazing. Food was fabulous and service was excellent. We tried a few things on the menu and all the food was just incredible. Will definitely be going back!

Street Parking available but tricky.
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.
