This was one of my highlights in my London trip. I ordered the very famous and delicious Lobster Noodle with ginger and spring onions, Steamed Scallops with Garlic Soya Sauce and Salt & Pepper Squid Fillet. The Steamed Scallops were so soft and tender. The Squid Fillet was nicely fried.

The hero, Lobster Noodle, came last. Once I placed the first strands of noodles into my mouth, I knew this was a perfectly prepared dish. The lobster meat was cooked to perfection and blended nicely with the noodles. Worth another trip if I am come back to London.

This is one of my favourite Chinese restaurants in London. The food quality is always consistently high, and every visit has been enjoyable.
I especially love the roast duck and roast chicken, the skin is incredibly crispy and delicious. The fried noodles and other dishes are also excellent and full of flavour.
For dessert, the red bean pancake and banana cake are both amazing and definitely worth trying.
Great food, great quality, and a place I always look forward to coming back to. Highly recommended!

If you’re looking for truly outstanding Chinese food in London, Mandarin Kitchen is, without question, my absolute favourite. Every time I visit, I’m reminded why I keep coming back, the food is consistently incredible, full of rich, authentic flavours and always cooked to perfection. You can really taste the quality and care in every dish.
What makes the experience even better is the service. The staff are always friendly, attentive, and welcoming, creating a warm and relaxed atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. It’s the kind of place where you’re genuinely looked after from start to finish.
I’ve been to Mandarin Kitchen countless times over the years, and not once have I left disappointed, which is honestly rare to find. The consistency is impressive, and it’s clear they take pride in maintaining such high standards.
On top of all that, the prices are very reasonable for the location and the quality you get, making it even easier to keep coming back. For me, this place is a real gem in London and easily one of the best Chinese restaurants around. I couldn’t recommend it more highly.

The food was underwhelming, tasting like a typical Chinese takeaway, and we found a piece of metal in one of the dishes, which ruined our appetite. Our table of eight was booked from 6:00–7:30pm; the soup arrived at 6:15pm, but the mains didn’t come until 6:50pm, leaving us rushed. While we appreciate the dessert offered after the incident, the quality, cleanliness, and service fell short of expectations. We will not be returning and also not recommend.

The food was really tasty and I forgot to take photos of the rest of the dishes. We also had the stir fried pak choy, beans, scallops. We came for early lunch on a Friday. Service was good and friendly. The star dish has always been the lobster noodles and it still is what my friends came for.
