I guess this is because its the closest to the Indian-Chinese food that he grew up with. I ordered via Hungry House which had an offer of free prawn crackers for bills above 15, but if you call them directly, they offer free dishes on each bill threshold. The food arrived quite quickly and was piping hot. The crackers were packed separately, so they hadn't crumbled. Quantities are large & prices are low, yet it is high on taste and quality. A perfect combination for takeaways & home delivery. The only 2 dishes that fell in the middling range were the pork dumplings because their wrapping was on the thicker side and the Thai red curry, that was more of a side dish than a curry. They tasted good, but did not meet my expectations, especially compared to the rest of the food. The roast pork fried rice and the chicken chowmein were very good, with lots of flavour and tender meat. Not too oily (the bane of many takeaway chowmeins) The sweet & sour chicken hong kong style was yummy and the first time that I was able to eat pineapple added in sweet and sour dishes because it wasnt too sweet or sour or squishy. The kung po pork with chilli was the standout dish of the day. Just the right amount of chilli without going over the top. Really loved the food from May's & I'm guessing that we will be ordering in from here whenever someone is in the mood for Chinese :) #YelpEveryDamnDay

Speaking of soups, the hot and sour soup was outstanding-- some of the finest I've had. And I've had literally dozens of them. Not too heavy on the pepper, it was chock full of yummy vegetables and pork. Loved this soup. The main dishes were all knockouts but the crispy half duck and the veal with salt were among he standouts. But I could also have the chow mein and the fried scallops too. Overall, an excellent example of how a Chinese restaurant can stick around through the years and still reinvent itself each day. Hurray!

I was appalled just by looking at it. I weighted the duck 40gm and the beef 45gm. Now if you are charging £16.80 I expect some more.

I also go the squid in salt and chilli which was yum- but I suspect the bean curd option might be better. I cant say much about the mains as I was there on a mission, a dim sum mission. The service was really good- not rushed at all. The ambiance was not really much to speak of, but what really is the ambiance of a Chinese restaurant supposed to be like?

Gung Ho

Having passed by this restaurant on West End Lane many times on my way back home, I decided to give…read moreit a try. Sadly, it has been my WORST meal ever in a Chinese restaurant, and I might even add that no self-respecting Chinese person will dine here, but this might seem a little harsh. So I'll say.. if you wish for truly authentic Chinese cuisine, AVOID Gung Ho at all cost. The restaurant does however do an excellent job of bastardizing Chinese food to suit western audiences, so The place was reasonably empty (only 2 other tables were taken) when I first arrived, although more patrons arrived during later on. The restaurant claims to be Sichuan, but try as you might.. you will find very limited Sichuan cuisine on the menu. Most of the dishes are Cantonese, with the ever popular sweet+sour/black bean sauce selection. My guess is, they are trying to differentiate themselves from other Chinese restaurants by calling themselves Sichuan, but sadly, this is misleading because you can only find a handful (and I truly mean only 4-5) of dishes under that name. Worse, they are not even authentically prepared. The bang bang chicken was very bland, and portions were horrifyingly small (think saucer). The fish with rice wine was horribly fishy (I'm serious about it being the worst fish dish I've ever tried), and even the seasoning of wine and MSG could not disguise the foulness of it. The coffee beef was a bit of a joke, as there was nary a hint of coffee aroma or taste to be found. This was part of the Chef's Speciality too! Portions were very small for every dish, but since the food wasn't particularly good, I was rather grateful! In the end, despite knowing I would not be full from the meal, I was determined not to order more dishes, as prices were a rip off (approx £9-12) and I simply refuse to pay for bad food. What utterly disgusted me was the service. While the waiters were not exactly rude, their attitudes were hardly warm towards us. They took a long time to come to our table (which, considering only 2 other tables were filled besides ours, the restaurant is overstaffed at that point!), although the staff hovered and lingered around the tables of other patrons. I was not surprised to see this pandering behavior directed towards the other diners who were Caucasians. Gung Ho is obviously a restaurant that aims its clientele towards serving Caucasian locals living around the area (West Hampstead, Finchley Road, etc). Most diners do not appear to have travel far, and as the evening progressed, more and more families turned up. None were Chinese though. If you wish for good Chinese food, you're better off dining at Royal China, which gives you better cuisine at similar prices. You also get better service, and will be exposed to a variety of authentic Cantonese cuisine. I hate to admit it, but my local Chinese takeaway gives me better food than Gung Ho. As I pointed out earlier, I left the restaurant still feeling a little hungry, and definitely unhappy with the very poor meal. In the end, we drove down West End Lane, and ended up grabbing a burger at GBK for comfort food. The ultimate insult - my burger made a far more satisfying meal!

It's my local favorite Chinese. Been here at least 5 times. Always spot-on food and service…read more I really wanted to give them 4-star but just had to balance out the 1-star unjustified review in my opinion so gave them 5!

Absolutely revolting. The food is beyond terrible. I know it is cheap but that does not excuse just how awful it is. The service is, somehow, even more disgusting than the food. We attempted to speak to somebody about how all of us at our table simply could not force our food down despite being starving, and stated that we were not willing to pay for our mains as they were not up to standard, but that we would pay for our starters (which were no better) and our drinks. The staff repeatedly interrupted to shout at each other across the restaurant, discussing the situation amongst themselves (in chinese which we do not speak), did not listen to us when we were trying to be polite about the situation and offer a comprimise that would still pay for what we had eaten, but allow us to go and have a meal elsewhere without being completely out of pocket. They then told us that we were horrible customers and that we were not welcome back (as if we would actually go there again) and they continued to give us abuse as we left. There are so many other restaurants around the area with much better food, its worth the extra money to never experience such vile service (and food) read more

I went to meet my friend in this place yesterday, When I just sat down for 2 mins, a waiter told me not to put my handbag on the empty seat next to me, and told me this seat should be available for other customers, when I looked around, there were still many empty tables and seats in the restaurant and also some of customers did put the handbags on the empty seats next to them. When I questioned it, they just said it is their policy. When a short and fat woman claimed she is the manager and I complained to her, she told me because I am Chinese, I should feel shamed to complain here, and also they do not need my business and I should leave. She further claimed she is the owner of the restaurant and I should have heard about her restaurant. I was truly shocked by her racism (although herself is Chinese) and her terrible attitude and services. I do not usually go to noodle bars and have never heard about this place. From my experience yesterday, the decoration is tiring and worn out, the customer services are horribly poor, racism and poor attitudes from the owner to the general waiters. DO NOT GO THERE! read more

I was amazed how absolutely RUDE the staff are! Especially the women. They do not know how to treat their customers with courtesy and respect. They smile at you first when you enter then after they have got you in the restaurant, it goes DOWNHILL from there. They talk to you with NO manners and their tone is offensive!! The hygiene is VERY POOR. Having lived in the area for a long time, Customers have said that they have seen the staff come out of the toilets not washing their hands then preparing the food!! Absolutely disgusting. The staff will spit in your food if you make any fuss or seem to ask a lot of service. DO NOT GO TO THIS RESTAURANT, unless you want to catch something like TUBERCULOSIS that could put you in hospital or just get treated like a lowlife!! There are other cheap & cheerful restaurants nearby instead. Do not be deceived with the other reviews that have given positive comments. Be advised of the other reviews on here that have said the same issues regarding Hygiene and Customer service!! read more

They serve LARGE portions, even for a generously proportioned gent, such as myself! They do not seem to retain good or well trained staff. I admit that I have to recall the chit ordering system from memory, but managed master it without too much trouble. Ordering soup dishes, even with noodles, is a litre sized bowl filled with noodles and food to near the brim. There have been some serious complaints over staff treatment of families with young children, the management do not seem to accommodate young children with raised chairs, etc. I do admit that the staff where polite to me, but again, I cite the above reason of body stature size, as being an excuse for NOT being impolite or rude to me! But others, I have recommended this place to, have personally experienced such issues. If such happens, then complain LOUDLY as new arrivals seek table placing, you bet it will frighten off trade! read more

Glad we came on a weekend and there was plenty of room for the four of us. They have great Asian fusion selections. We opted with their noodles. It was okay ... not bad and it was not that great either. The pricing is very fair. The service was fast. We were served less than the expected time. Its conveniently located near Buckingham Palace road. Surrounded by many good establishments. A good spot for a quick meal.

We were here in London for a day before heading back home to the USA so I was craving some Chinese…read morefood and we found this great restaurant close to LHR. The service was great from the time we walked into the restaurant. We ordered a few items from the menu: chow-mein, chicken fried-rice, KungPao chicken, 2 sizzling lamb dishes-and all were superb. The 2 ladies working were so kind and genuinely cared about their patrons and their experience. I would definitely recommend New Bowl Chinese for great Chinese food in an unpretentious setting.

I've been here a few times with a large family group, and it's always a tasty meal…read more The service is friendly, but not always perfect (they messed up a few of our dishes last time). The food is old-fashioned Chinese takeaway, but done pretty well. Last time I had beef with black bean sauce and peppers, and it was a tasty sauce, but some of the beef was really chewy and the rice was a bit cold. So it's not perfect, but when we've been in a group less than 10 people, it's been better.
