Refined Chinese with a twist. Andrew Wong new restaurant is a hit!…read more Good atmosphere, really like the pink darkish lighting of the place. It gives it a groovy vibe. Food wise, I wouldn't it is the best Chinese I have ever been to but it's very good food and worth going if you want upscale Chinese without the crazyness of central London/Chinatown. We shared for starters the spicy sechuan aurbergine (a must order), mushroom buns (as nice as the ones from aWong) deep fried green beans (also a must) and the crispy duck ( Im never a fan but aWong and Kym's probably have the best ones and amazing plum sauce) For mains we tried the three treasure (soya chicken, iberico pork char sui and crispy pork). I think my favourite was the crispy pork. Its a good way of tasting all the rotisserie but if you are super hungry I would recommend ordering 2 of the rotisserie separetely. As for desserts, we tried the Pineapple bun and the cherry ice cream both lovely. Awong is definitly the king of custard. although I think the custard bun from aWong just beat everything lolol.

I have traveled London many times and was fortunate to stumble upon Kym's. This was my fortune as…read moreI have a minor addiction to Dim Sum and Kym's savory spin was unexpectedly brilliant. Victoria set the stage and steered me to a sampling that did not disappoint. Egg roll - not your typical egg roll, enshrined in a crispy rice shell, lightly fried to perfection, accompanied by a tangy sweet dipping delight. Followed by the mushroom steamed buns, and capped off by the most spectacular pork and shrimp boa boa, perfectly spicy, fully satisfying, a work of art. The service was spectacular and matched the experience. Make this a stop on your foodie tour of London.

I'm from the San Francisco area and lived in LA for 10 years (as well as have been to China) so I LOVE Chinese food. Unfortunately this place was very mediocre. The best part was the sauce that came with the wontons and the seasoning on the tofu. However, the tofu wasn't crispy at all. And the wontons/dumplings were very lackluster. The filling wasn't very flavorful. Though I will say the skin was nice and thin which is always a good sign. Would I go here again at 3 am after being out all night? Yes. Would I go here when there are other options open? No.

The Chinatowns in the United States are suffering from the success of the early settlers. Those who came first worked hard, raised families and their children and grandchildren have moved into the suburbs. It was very difficult to decide which restaurant to try. Most of them offered the standard fare and we were hungry. One of the things we didn't care for is that most establishments have someone standing outside to greet you. Some were annoyingly aggressive (very Un-Chinese like), others simply ignored us by carrying on conversations with co-workers, others just made eye contact and smiled pleasantly. We like to look at the menus posted outside and detest someone breathing over us like the barkers at a strip club (not that I've been to one). The woman in front of this restaurant was stoic, yet friendly. She watched as we perused the menu and seemed somewhat surprised when we asked for a table for two. We were surprised when we followed her in and faced two flights of stairs. the dining room was on the second floor, toilets on the third. We later noticed an elevator but we're never informed of it's presence. We had been wondering how mobility challenges diners would get up and down. The dining room was medium in size, well lit and clean. At the back of the room appeared to be a pocket door that led to additional tables for private dining. After we were seated, it took a couple of minutes for someone to ask if we wanted tea. This is an important point in any Dim Sum meal for me. Many cultures will greet their guests in their native language first, then switch to English when necessary. Some will look at me and instead of asking me what type of tea I'd like to order, just serve house tea. Those places will get me asking in Cantonese what kind of tea it is because I hadn't selected yet. A lesson - Tea in a Chinese restaurant is usually served at no charge with a meal. However, with Dim Sum, there is a fee. Therefore, you can request your favorite Chinese tea. Some will cost more than others. My tea of choice is a blend called Gook Bo. Bo Lee is also known as Pu'Erh, a 'dry' black tea. Gook Fa is Chrysanthemum Flower, which adds a nice floral note. The two together have a nice flavor and when consumed hot, wash down any greasiness left behind by the food. The dim sum was spot on. The Har Kau was very well done. The Udon dish was excellent even though they weren't really Udon noodles (Japanese). Service was very good. Our tea pot was checked frequently and if our tea cups weren't full, staff quickly took care of that. We would definitely love to go there for a full ten-person dinner to try more flavors. Anyone game? We ordered some Dim Sim and a plate of noodles.

As someone who is of Singaporean heritage, this place is not bad.

Their flavors for the most part were right, portions are small, and prices are high which contrasts for its norm, since this is street food in Singapore which would cost 3-6$ a plate. Would recommend a more Peranakan decor to make this place feel like Bugis in Singapore. Hainanese chicken rice- good chicken, soup was way too salty that it was nota drinkable at all. Rice was right flavor but wrong texture. Maybe the certain rice can't be found in UK. Seafood Chow fun- I was actually impressed with the chow fun part that charred part and the oily noodles that require high heat and high oil to make it that texture. this dish was good. Would highly recommend it. Chinese leaf- just dressed up Napa cabbage but well done. Salt and pepper shrimp were also not bad The hakkien mee was good but was a little sweeter than what I remembered from Singapore.

On my first full day in London, in December 2013, my goal was to get to M&M's World. I was on a mission to visit every M&M's World in, um, the world. I had London first, followed by Shanghai at the time. A female staffer at the Piccadilly Circus underground station was great directing me to get to M&M's World by foot. Along the way, a Russian man approached me and asked this question: "Chinatown?" I'm a tourist. I barely know how to get to M&M's World. I didn't know. Well, after having my first visit to this beloved store, I walked around Soho. I saw lanterns above me. I was in Chinatown. I could now answer Russian guy's question! I spotted this eatery. I took a chance on Jade Garden, as I was hungry. I walked in. A friendly woman greeted me. It was me wanting a late lunch. She immediately seated me at a table. She asked me if I had a tea preference. I asked if she had jasmine tea. She did. I got a pot of it. It was so fragrant and perfect for a December afternoon. I got a pink piece of paper with dim sum items and more, and a pen. I love dim sum and went to town ordering a few dishes. I got these items: - Har gow (4) - Siu mai (3) - Barbeque pork rice rolls (3) - Sticky rice bundles (2) - Steamed pork dumplings (3) It didn't take long for my dishes to arrive. I tried a har gow first. My first thought was how yummy it was. It had a lot of shrimp in each one. I then had a siu mai. So good! It had a ton of filling. I remember alternating eating from these two steamers and how happy I was to be eating authentic dim sum. The barbeque pork rice rolls were excellent. This place was generous with the barbeque pork that you got in each rice roll. It had the best sauce that I poured on top of each roll. I loved the sticky rice bundles. Sticky rice screams comfort food when it's steamed in leaves and I unwrap them. The rice was steamed perfectly. Each bundle had a generous amount of filling. This place does barbeque pork so well and it was highlighted in these sticky rice bundles. The steamed pork dumplings were amazing. Each one was stuffed with pork, chives, peanuts, and more. The wrapper on each dumpling was perfect. I'm salivating. I remember being here like it was last week! I paid with a credit card. I tipped. Done! I used the women's washroom before I left. It was clean. The door was short, so I could see everything in front of me when I stood up in the stall that I was using... haha! I was sad to learn that this location has closed permanently. However, there are other Jade Garden locations in the city. I hope to visit one of them whenever I return to London. (13)

The wantons in the wanton soup were alright, but the soup they came in tasted like a conflicted depressed chicken broth with mirepoix doused hastily with soy sauce to make it "Asian". And finally, the fried rice with shredded duck. The duck was alright, but the "fried rice" looked like boiled long grain rice with soy sauce stirred into it with no evidence of it being fried with significant heat let alone "wok hei" char. Deplorable. Then add the price tag and you have an epic fail.
