Everything was delicious. The soup dumplings had so much flavor in the broth even though it's a very clear soup base. The service was quick. Just note that if you eat outside, they'll make you pay first. (I guess so you don't run away after eating? Lol.) read more

We arrived around 8 pm and were seated right away in the ground level. We ordered family style and the food was served fast . The flying fried fish could have been crispier, but otherwise everything was ok. Servers were changed twice. read more

Unfortunately, we did not pre-plan with looking at reviews prior to heading to Chinatown. We should have gone to a restaurant with the ducks hanging in the window. Alas, we went into this place because it looked nice from the outside. The interior was clean and nicely appointed, however it seems the food was made for a very bland palate. Everything was very "mid", even the salt and pepper chicken was disappointing. Also, service was as bland as the food. This was definitely a 1 and done visit. read more

We went to Feng Shui Inn after watching The Phantom of the Opera. They are open late, the food was tasty and the portions were good. The service was great. We started to over order and the waitress recommended we slow down and order more of we found ourselves still hungry. She was right! Good experience! read more

I hate to see the low reviews - I thought this place was great! We were seated outside in a corner spot and just enjoyed the vibe during our last night visiting London. It was hard to pick a Chinatown restaurant to go to since there are so many, but we were very pleased with this spot. The food was good with a nice portion size, the servers were friendly, and the location was great. We did have to pay right when we ordered, but that is honestly smart of the restaurant since there are people that dine & dash! read more

Feng Shui Inn - Stir-fry vegetables (added peppers & chili oil) - Chinese Near Me - London, XGL

You'll find very over-priced, mediocre food and relatively small portions at the Feng Shui Inn. Seek better accommodations! Among the rows of Chinese restaurants along Gerrard Street, our family picked Feng Shui for the wrong reason, namely there was no wait to be seated. We ended up with little food, paid way, way too much, and left hungry. It was Christmas Day, with limited restaurant options in London. So our family of four headed to Chinatown and found a beehive of activities. Most of the restaurants were open, several had long lines. We were eager to get off of our feet, so we saw this restaurant without a real wait. The first sign things might not go well was that the host suggested it was a cash-only restaurant, which turned out not to be true. They just preferred avoiding the transaction fees. Most of the entrees are ~£25, so we were prepared to spend £125. Our expectations were high, and we were quickly let down. The portions are small, food banal/ho-hum (though seemingly authentic), service so-so, and space tight/cramped. I gather that prices are hiked on the holiday at all of the restaurants. So the advice is to wait in one of those long lines at one of the popular places and have a better experience. Who knows...maybe that place has even better Feng Shui! read more

We enjoyed dinner at Feng Shui Inn. The Aromatic Duck, Bao and Chicken dinner were excellent. Chicken Satay and Ramen were good. Could have used some seasoning. When we added chilli oil it was much better. Recommend! read more

Open to late hours. Great authentic Chinese food. Good quality but prices are much higher then expected. Decent service. Moderate noise level as all Chinese restaurants are. read more

We loved this place. I don't know why others had such a bad experience. The oolong tea was great, and I loved the dumplings we got. I highly recommend the pork soup dumplings. (They're not listed as soup on the menu, but that's what they are. They have pockets of soup in them.) I also loved all the vegetarian dumplings. They're so unique, especially the corn one. And I liked the pastry assortment also. The service was great, and we got to pay right away instead of having to make a lot of effort to get the bill and pay like most places. read more

we stopped here after walking through chinatown and we were craving asian cuisine. the atmosphere was so fun and vibrant. we ate outside and had the beautiful sea of lanterns above us. the service was speedy and waiter was very friendly. our food came fast and was very delicious! we ordered pork dim sum, chicken chow mein, and crispy chili beef. all of it was yummy, and we agreed our favorite was the crispy chili beef. the dim sum came very hot and was very flavorful as well. it was pricey though, split between 3 people the total was around £19 each and the portions weren't very big. for a one time stop it was a nice experience but you could probably find cheaper prices with the same quality of food somewhere else. read more

Pretty good food We were walking around Chinatown looking for some Chinese Lunch. There are lots of choices, but most of them not for us (we travel with our dog). This one had a bunch of tables outside, perfect for us and our doggy. We didn't do any research about the place and just took our chance. And we ended up very happy. We had some Fried Shrimp with Tofu, fried shrimp Wontons and the ribs. Some beer to wash it all down. All was done very well, can't really go wrong with fried food. Especially good were the ribs. Juicy, tender, lots of flavours, a good choice. Not the very best chinese place we've ever been, but surely one of the better! read more

Meh. We were looking for brunch in Chinatown. This was one of the few restaurants that was open earlier, but as it turns out, they probably open earlier than the others because that's the only way they can get customers. Do yourself a favor and wait to eat at a different restaurant in Chinatown. Everything we had was pretty bad. The only item that was okay may have been the porridge, which is hard to get wrong. We had ordered chive dumplings that came out soggy and and room temperature. When we mentioned the texture to the server, she brought the menu and pointed to a different item on there, saying we should have ordered something deep fried if we wanted something crispy. The other items pictured in my review were mediocre at best. read more

DO NOT EAT HERE. We stopped for small plates and drinks late afternoon during non-rush hour. The waiter popped attitude; told us we had to pre-pay; and tried to add an outsized tip. The worst part - as we were walking out, I noticed portion sizes on other tables. They were twice as big as what were on our plates. They obviously knew we were tourists and ripped us off. Should have walked out when the waiter popped attitude read more

DO NOT COME HERE. This is the worst restaurant to go to in London Chinatown. When we got there, we were extremely hungry and sat down in a party of 11. We ordered various types of dishes, all of them in small plates but around $15 pounds each. Not only was the food very salty and oily, but each small dish had basically nothing on it. The total bill amount came to be 144 pounds. That's not even the worst part. When we were leaving, we saw other peoples dishes and that they ordered the same. BUT THEY WERE TWICE THE SIZE. We realized that they had scammed us because we were tourists. So, advise to you all, save your money and go to another restaurant!! Don't let this experience ruin your time! read more

Okay first of all I have to comment about the sign outside stating that dim sum is "served all day" despite the fact that inside we were informed that it was finishing very soon at around 4pm. However the food was great value for the money and the staff were very attentive. I was particularly satisfied with the fact that I was allowed to relocate me due to me not fitting at the first table (to be fair I am not the smallest guy and my knees didn't fit under the table). We ordered both the roast pork Cheung fun and the king prawn Cheung fun accompanied with grilled prawn dumplings and steamed pork buns all of which were perfect. I am keeping this review short as I was only in the restaurant for around 20 minutes due to the fact that I only ordered dim sum which is always almost instantly served. read more

I saw a number of others were not happy with this restaurant but some were. We met an English colleague (I am American) and friend and his family for dinner. This restaurant is in Chinatown near one of the entrances, and is a short walk from Leicester square and not that far from Covent Garden. So you could have dinner here and then catch one of the shoes in the West End (which for English folks is The theatre district of London like Broadway in New York City). My friends wife is originally from China and she ordered away. We had Dim Sum of various varieties and all were good. Wr had Peking duck ad a main dish and it was good. We had a variety of other dishes and all were good. I saw others write it was expensive, I cant comment as my friend bought dinner (I took him to Put In Bay Ohio and bought dinner/drinks and he said he was repaying but I think I owe some here...,,). I have eaten food in various cities/locations in China and generally prefer American Chinese, I would classify this was less authentic and more like the Chinese food in the US, so maybe tailored to English/western taste. But this is based on one visit. The environment was nice and inviting and seemed like it fit well in Chinatown. The service was steady. Overall worth a try. read more

Went there for dinner and karaoke on a Thursday evening, seemed busy but not hectic. It had an old school traditional kind of decor feel to the place, which makes a nice change from going to the regular contemporary themes that most Chinese restaurants are going for these days. They have 3 Karaoke rooms, a wide variety of songs from all languages and are fairly up to date with all the songs but don't have certain oldies. we had crispy pancake duck for starters which was very good, the roast chicken in the mains was a little dry but overall it was a pleasant enjoyable meal and the service was decent. read more

Had late night cravings for dim sum so we went here. Ordered hacao (prawn dumplings) and pork parcels, 1 order each. Each order came with 4 so we ended up with 8 dumplings in total. The dumplings were standard sized, average flavor. Nothing to complain or rave about, very typical all around. The cost came out to £12, which is $16 US, which, in my opinion, is ridiculously expensive for dim sum. (You can get 8 dumplings for £7.50 right down the street at Dumplings Legend...) 3 stars for average dumplings, -1 for price. Overwall impression: mediocre dim sum, way too costly. Go elsewhere for your dim sum fix. read more

Food was good, but then made me pay for an extra takeout box. And fought me about it.

Walking down the main street of Chinatown packed with restaurants, trying to find a cozy little place where to have a nice dinner in two, Feng Shui Inn proved to be a choice by instinct. Feminine instinct, I might add. It drives you in with a decor embellished in red distinctive colour of China. The whole feeling of this restaurant evokes Chinese culture. The decorations inside are so very authentic. As we walk in the place seems to be quite full, yet a friendly waitress shows us the way to a quiet little table for two. Always afraid of glancing into a Chinese menu we finally have no difficulty making our choice for one of the menus for two people . It contains soup, duck rolls, stir fries in sufficient amounts (on friendly prices). The wine list perfectly complements the dishes and our choice of red wine proves to be the right decision. All night long -as you end up spending more time there than you expected-the service is attentive, warm, patient. Feng Shui Inn -bit mysterious, bit different -yet familiar -is a pleasant little restaurant for those loving Chinese cuisine -where you have the opportunity to discover new tastes and agonize with chopsticks. Never give up! Practise makes you better. read more

Not bad if you are hungry, want an attractively ornate, nice looking place to stop and grab a Chinese meal quickly en route to somewhere else. Service was friendly enough (sitting outside, wanted to take a credit card as insurance, which is understandable I suppose but doesn't start things off brilliantly), reasonably quick and the food arrived really speedily (how did they know what would be ordered?? Surely not pre-prepared and merely heated up?) Food was OK, tasty - the chicken had that reconstituted texture, definitely not recently diced fresh from the bone but not bad really. Good atmospheric experience right in the heart of bustling central London tourist land. read more

Now I can't say for myself but my cousin promises me this is the best Chinese in town and I can say it aint half bad. Duck for starters, followed by crispy chicken, steak and ginger, and lemon chicken - with a mix of boiled and egg fried rice, very tasty and filling! Not the best Chinese I've ever had but very very good. read more

Loved this place. I have been coming here several time with family and never been disappointed. Highly recommended. They have very nice dishes for vegan and the staff are very friendly. read more

Its hard nto to notice Feng SHui inn when you are in Chinatown because of the deep red extrior and the dark mysterious looking interior. However, form the inside, the place looks old and slightly dirty. We were sat next to the staff door, on a ridiculously small table despite asking for a bigger one, because 'bigger one for bigger groups' there wasnt enough space on out table for all the food we ordered. We ordered 2 corn soups, but only one came. WHen we pointed that out they said that it was a mistke and brought a second bowl 15 minutes later. The mongolian crispy roast lamb wrap we had was just skin and fat of lamb, with is not very good value for money. Their roast duck was ok but the skin is anything but crispy (which it should be). The chicken dish was good and well cooked and the same goes for their beef, which was succulent yet tender. However, the stir fried beef noodles which we ordered hardly contain any beef, (just a couple of miserable slices), so that wasnt worth the money we paid for it at all. Also, we ordered for it to be hor fun instead of the vermicelli. When the vermicelli came we pointed that out and the waitress pulled a very long face before going to the kitchen to exchange it. Also, Oyster sauce seems to be the main ingredient in every dish, which is disappointing. verdict: like all chinese restaurants, there are certain dishes which are good and others which you will regret ordering. Its best to find out a restaurant's signature dishes before going. personally, i wouldnt recommend this restaurant to my friends, as there are definitely better restaurants on Gerrard street, albeit slightly pricier. read more

Have had better and in all fairness should have known better. For there to be no line on Chinese New Year wkd when every other doorway had a queue out and around, we permitted our rumbling bellies to take over our common senses. Four dumplings for £8? Rice for half that? Something's not right here. Friendly at payment and gave me a rooster ornament for the holiday but the abrupt and patchy table service and paltry portions of noodles and mixed vegetables couldn't save the meal by a long shot. read more

I feel like writing bad reviews is the only way to "get back to them". Two things that shocked me: 1. Super overpriced! I ordered a Cheung Fan, it cost around 5.40, whereas everywhere else was only around 3-4 pound. And then they had the audacity to add a ​service charge, which means that I spent 6 pounds​ on one dish. 2. HAIR! I'm Chinese. My mom always tells me that Chinese restaurants are usually dirtier than Japanese and Korean restaurants, and I always defended them because I thought she was overreacting. For the second time in Chinatown, I found A HAIR in my dish!!!! TO ALL CHINESE RESTAURANTS: GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER!! YOU ARE EMBARRASSING​ ME!! I used to defend you! I take it all back :( At least the staff was nice. read more

This place is extremely terrible and unbelievably overpriced. We only came here because we needed a quick bite before going to a proprietary broadway show. I had the "Bruce Lee dumplings," which were extremely dry and the soup looked and tasted like chemicals that I use when I try to poison my lab partner. I also tried the "Ichiro Suzuki pancakes" in conjunction with the "John Cho noodles." I was very hungry so I also got the "Harry Shum Jr french fries" and "Jon 'The Man' Teo onion rings." My gf also ordered the "Kei Nishikori sausages" and "Jeremy Lin sliders." I finished with the "Brenda Song raspberry pie" for desert. It was almost as bad as the roles that she chooses as a struggling actress. read more

I read other reviews which were not as good, but having traveled all over the world, my expectations for a restaurant this size and price point, I thought it deserved a 4 start rating. Service was excellent. Their crispy duck and dim sum are their specialities and were delicious. Some of the main dishes were more of the American/Chinese variety but very fresh, sizzling hot and well seasoned. Price was very reasonable and a great spot to eat before or after a show. read more

Liked the place. Could kick back and relax while enjoying some of the food I was missing from Hong Kong. The food was OK, service courteous and we got a complementary desert thanks to my Chinese colleague. read more

Much too pricey for the mediocre food it serves. Definitely avoid out of plenty of choices in Chinatown.

This was my second favourtie chinese in China town, but with the lamentable passing of ChinaChina (so good they named it twice) I guess that this dark red, good value place has been bumped up a notch. I first came here when I was dating a BBC (that's British-born Chinese, and nothing to do with the broadcaster) guy he recommended it as a place his dad (a chinese cook) said used good ingredients. I haven't been disappointed when I've gone. The ingredients are indeed good, and cooked, if not to perfection, then to a high standard. The decor is typically chinese, right down to the paw-waving cats, but the last time I went in I was surprised to find it decorated for halloween, which I don't normally think of as a chinese festival! The service is better by Western standards than a lot of similar places in China town, where they stick to their culture of fast is better than friendly; feng shui manages to strike the West-East balance almost perfectly. read more
