This place is always consistently good. Brought my family here while we were in London and on a Friday night there was just a 5 minute wait. Sure the place isn't the cleanest and the toilets are so tiny but the food is sooo good. The staff are also very friendly and attentive. 4/5 2 meat combo (roast duck without bones and pork belly) 4/5 Salt and pepper tofu 4/5 Morning glory I normally get the crispy duck but didn't this time and it's also always very good. Even my mom and dad said they loved it. Definitely recommend! read more

London Chinatown has changed since I last visited 10 years ago. It's larger, more colorful and much more crowded than I remember. Plus more restaurants including two Four Seasons. We didn't research Yelp or anywhere else, just walked around and picked this one due to the best looking crispy roast pork hanging in the window. That dish was a must, and we inquired and passed several that were out of it. It was worth it. The Crispy Roast Pork Belly was so luscious with the right balance of meat and fat, and crispy to perfection! There is nothing close to it back in Florida! I'm used to Roast Duck served by itself, but this was fantastic with a delicious, tasty sauce. Really good and you must try it when you're here. I later found out Four Seasons is famous for its duck, and we just happened to stop in. The Stir-fried Chicken Noodles was good but not something I'd order. Service was typical, but the manager was nice when I came back two days later for another round. He saved me money by pointing out combo rice plates in the back of the menu for singles. The worn interior and rest rooms need a refresh to match the menu, web, food and "award-winning" roast duck. read more

Popular spot for tasty, comforting food. The fried rice was particularly delicious. The line gets long, service can be slow, and the ambiance is quite standard for a Chinese restaurant in the area (function over fashion), but Four Seasons is a reliable get your Chinese food fix in the area.

One of the many delicious restaurants in London Chinatown. Ordered Lobster with onion and Ginger, Roast Duck over Rice. Lobster was fresh and seasoned just right. Duck has meaty and had a traditional soy/cinnamon flavoring in the sauce. Highly recommended if you're in the Westminster area. Thank you read more

Best Chinese food in China Town. There are so many options when it comes to Chinese food however we found Four Seasons Cantonese Duck the best. read more

The BBQ meats are delicious here. They are famous for their roast duck, and they also have crispy pork, soya chicken, char siu. My personal favourites are the crispy pork and the soya chicken as duck can be overwhelming and heavy at times. Recommend duck for lunch over dinner. We also ordered the braised pork belly wit. Preserved veggies and the beef brisket hot pot. They were good, but nothing to write home about. Stick to the BBQ meats IMO. read more

This is definitely a tourist trap. You're better off going to other Chinese restaurants. The food is a mix bag. The vegetables are cooked ok. The BBQ pork is horrible. They will give you chunks of fat. The chicken is mostly bones. The fried noodle is ok, nothing standing out. The final bill is outrageous. They change 5£ for a small tea and automatically added on the 12.5% service charge for taking order and bringing you the food. Go somewhere else if you can. read more

Arrived at LHR, rested some and off to Chinatown for some Chinese bbq for lunch. Not used to the hustling of the vibrant City regardless of the time of year. Restaurant opened at Noon, immediately almost all tables were packed Ordered the combination meat of ... - Bbq roasted pork - crispiness softened by the French of sauce - Bbq pork - not as flavorful as thought, also drenched in overwhelming sauce - Duck, supposedly it's specialty, the meat tasted awful - Soy chicken - this was good, soft to the bite and tender - Wonton soup - surprisingly roughly made, nothing to admire All in all, disappointing! Will not return. Perhaps given the higher expectation due to lots of competition in Chinatown, it simply wasn't up to par read more

I decided to try this restaurant just to try it. I ordered the duck and fatty pork to go over rice and the Choi sum with garlic. Yes, this is all for me. The food was decent. The Choi sum was okay. It was a bit greasy but the garlic was good. Overall, everything was okay! I just wanted to try a bit of everything and couldn't finish all of it. There were a lot of Chinese people coming in to order food so that's a plus! read more

At the end of our meal here... What I was tempted to say to the help: Ni you mao bing ma?! What I actually said: Wo men ke bu ke yi mai dan? ---- On the one hand, the food is generally quite respectable. At Uli's suggestion, we came for the duck, and plenty of fowl was had. The whole steamed fish will run you a pretty penny at twenty quid, but was quite fresh, thought not flavourful. The garlic sautéed greens (in our case, Chinese broccoli) were crunchy and tender, a rare and appreciated combination of textures. If you're into salt and pepper pork, their version's not bad. However, as forewarned, the service here was acceptable at best, condescending and irritable at worst. I'm reasonably certain if we were made to feel any more unwelcome, we'd have walked out. It was a razor thin edge. Every single request we made was met with an attitude of disgruntlement, as though it was an extreme burden to bring a clean replacement plate or a takeaway box for leftovers. That's fine. I'm happy to go spend that £60 somewhere else in future. ---- I'm trying to decide if the three-star review for Four Seasons was as a result of an experiential upgrade due to a rare opportunity to enjoy a rare meal with the ever-lovely Michele D. A teetering four-star sampling of food with solidly two-star service amounts to all-around mediocrity. read more

I went to this place after siting a fellow Food Spotter's picture on FoodSpotting. Then I cross checked with Yelp, and it was almost 5 stars so I decided to put it on one of to go list when in London. OH BOY am I glad I did go to this place! This little hole-in-the-wall is known for their roast duck and it is totally worth your trip! We ordred Roast Duck, Lobster (in spicy and sweet sauce) which's not on the menu, but you ask to be cooked this way they'll do it, Salt & Pepper short ribs, Salty fish & chicken fried rice, and Fried oyster. Every single dish was absolutely fantastic! I'm from San Francisco, and if you've heard of R&G Lounge in SF, you know how good they are. This place is just as good as R&G and even better at some level! 1. Roast Duck: They are famous for this and they sure do it well! Crispy skin with tender juicy meat and absolutely perfect seasoning!! YUM! 2. Sweet & Spicy Lobster: OMG! This lobster is OUT of THIS World delicious!!! When asked if the lobster was fresh, the chap taking our order very confidently said yes! So we asked to make it with some kind of spicy sauce (not on the menu) and they whipped up this lobster. It may not look pretty to you, but it's all pretty when you put it in your mouth! Flavor explosion! BAM! So good and the succulent lobster meat was just so sweet! 3. Salt & Pepper short ribs: Jiao Yen Pai Ku: Perfectly fried! Tender meat! Enuf said! 4. Salty fish & Chicken fried rice: So yummy with lots of salty fish in it, not like some places where they skimp on it. 5. Fried oyster: They really know how to fry stuff here and this dish was so good! Place is small, but there are downstairs seatings as well. People are friendly and if you speak Mandarin or Cantonese it's a plus cuz they'll take care of you really well. read more

Ramshackle place inside. Food is stale, loveless, limp. Portions very small. Staff were clueless about food allergens. The surprise comes with the bill when they charge you 16£ for four plain rices AND try to sneak in an arbitrary service charge (see photo), AND probably hope for tips on top from stupid tourists like us. We should have run prior to ordering, if it hadn't been for two hungry kids... read more

Oh dear, it seems like Four Seasons has been reading the Starbucks fast franchising doctrine. Apparently, Starbucks have a way of calculating when one branch is too busy and you need to open another branch even if it is literally round the corner from the other branch. The original Four Seasons in Queensway is a legend, drawing large crowds for its roast duck. The next branch opened on the main drag of Chinatown on Gerrard Street with the word 'Queensway' in brackets on its shop sign to remind everyone of its more illustrious older sibling. However, not more than 47 steps (yes, I counted them!) from the Gerrard Street branch, you'll find yet another branch of Four Seasons. The roast duck is good but I find the accompanying soya suace a bit sweet. They do offer the duck off the bone, which is a service not found much in Chinatown. My current personal favourite for roast duck though is Tai Ka Lok on Gerrard Street. read more

The wait to get in was a manageable 5 minutes. We ordered roast duck, tofu pot, pea shoots and sweet n sour soup. Duck, tofu, and pea shoots all hit the spot. I'd recommend. Soup was a bit too salty and didn't taste quite right. Service was very quick so I applaud the staff for being so efficient . Fairly authentic. read more

Each time we come to London, we have a meal at the Four Seasons Chinese Restaurants. There are 3 restaurants, one in Bayswater, one on Waldorf St and the last at 12 Gerrard St, chinatown. We love the Roast Duck Rice meal for £6.80. Ask the restaurant to debone the Duck and give you extra sauce. The meat is tender and tasty. The restaurant serves other food as well, but this is our favourite dish. The other dishes we like are the stir fried prawn noodle, Kai Lan stir fried with garlic and the stir fried green pea shoots (seasonal). read more

Wow...wow...wow!!! I loved the barbecue meats that they are so famous for here! All the previous reviewers are right: try the roasted duck, it's amazingly moist and succulently sweet! In fact, I recommend that if you're here by yourself (for lunch), you order the meal that features three kinds of BBQed meats, served over rice: roasted duck, roasted pork & roasted pork belly. Since it was all so nice and juicy, the rice got flavoured by the meats and it tasted just amazing! Granted, the service is typically Chinese: they want to you to order asap, eat and leave asap so that they can serve the next waiting customers. In other words, don't come here if you want to hang out with your friends and discuss philosophy! But, if you want to enjoy some fabulous and authentic Chinese dinner, then this is the place to come! Food-wise I would give it almost 5 stars, but the rather oblivious service and the rather unwelcoming toilets dampened the overall experience down to 4 stars... read more

What an incredible disappointment. Went here because we eat frequently at their name sake in Bangkok. Well this was really not good and very expensive. We ordered what appeared to be their crispy duck with pancakes. What came was an overcooked shredded mess of "duck". Not at all like the picture. It was like a confit that had then been deep fried and shredded. Looked terrible and was hard to eat. We tried their combo of crispy pork (not crispy) char siu pork (overcooked) and their roast duck which was OK. All was covered with a sauce that made everything soggy and taste the same. The owner did give us a chicken breast because we had complained and actually that was excellent. But in no way did it make up for a 112 pound awful meal. My husband also ordered the spicy beef which was OK at best. We will continue to go to four seasons in Bangkok as it is excellent but this is not someplace we will ever go to again or that I recommend. Also service was incredibly slow and the waiter was not nice at all. Lastly we were in a corner table and there was an electrical cord running under the table and my chair which almost tripped me into have a tremendous fall. Just all in all a waste of time and money. read more

I came to Chinatown expecting a cheap Chinese dinner, we ordered a duck, rice, and half a chicken with two hot and sour soups. The total came out to be..... $60USD. I mean don't get me wrong, this place was decent, but I don't know if it's worth $60. If you REALLY want to get your Chinese craving out of the way, I would recommend this place. Otherwise, stick to typical london/british food. read more

Peking duck here is very good. Easily fed 6 people as a starter and the other dishes were not bad. Spicy here means SPICY. The atmosphere and decor are actually quite poor, and there was a draft from a window that couldn't be closed on the second floor. But if your interest is the food, then you'll not be disappointed. The crispy roast squid and Shredded chicken fried noodles are extremely morish! read more

I have been hearing people raving about the roast duck here for a long time. That has definitely stirred my curiosity and. Finally made a trip down not too long ago. I went in the late afternoon and ordered a portion of roast duck for two. When the roast duck came, I was a tad shock to see how small the portion was. It was a small plate of duck more suited for one. I clarified my order and the server assured me that it's a portion for two. I was disappointed when I realize the meat was little in size and the taste was not as juicy as i had been told. I definitely have had better duck portion and quality elsewhere. It's been a disappointing feed here. read more

This was Sunday night and had to wait at least 10-15 mins before we got seated. I've been recommended this business chain by several people to try their duck and boy was I not disappointed (which probably bumped it up to 4 stars). For the price and quality it was great. Would come back for sure. read more

My feet were very tired and I stumbled into Chinatown to get something to eat before leaving London. I was looking around and had to turn back to find something and I finally decided to go into four seasons. The good thing was there wasn't much of a wait and they were quick to ask me for my order. My 2 children ordered both crispy pork on rice and roast pork on rice. Unfortunately they brought us half roast pork and half crispy pork with rice on the same plate. we told the waiter about the mistake, however, he didn't give an apology in any form and went on to redo the order. As I saw him walking back that's when I saw a microwave right under the rice pot. And as I took a bite of my Childrens rice and pork it started to add up. I was still not sure so I forked a piece of lettuce and went on to eat it. That's when I noticed how warm it was. It was very clear after this tasting that the lettuce and rice were all microwaved. I ordered salt & chilly prawns which was not fulfilling whatsoever. I had to hold in my vomit after leaving and I barely made it to my home bathroom. I would NOT suggest this place to anyone. If your searching for food in Chinatown this is the last place you should go to. read more

Take-away review only! This is a review on the the roast duck! When I past through China Town I always stop by the Four Seasons to but a whole roast deboned duck! In the window there is a sign stating it serves the best roast duck in London - this may well be true! I have yet to taste a better duck. Juicy and succulent everytime! You can buy roast duck for a lot cheaper at nearby restaurants in china town but often I find the duck too fatty or too gamey. I never eat in at Four Seasons so I can't comment on the rest of the menu but the duck is excellent. A perfect night in: a whole roast duck, lots of choi of choice and a movie. Juicy, juicy, juicy! read more

Four Seasons - Roast duck - Chinese Near Me - London, XGL

One of many decent places to eat in London's surprisingly small Chinatown. I love how ethnic Chinese businesses exude a certain frenetic efficiency while foregoing mainstream courtesies and this place does not disappoint in that regard. Claustrophobics beware: They sit you wherever there is space. On the crowded lunchtime I visited, when I walked in they hurriedly motioned for me to get in and go downstairs (who knew there was a downstairs?) where there is a small room jam packed with tables and people eating elbow to elbow. They sat me at my own small table that was between 2 others with about 3 inches of space between them so I was essentially eating a communal table with 4 other people. This is a little socially uncomfortable since you are so close to the strangers that you can't help but make eye contact at inopportune moments. This makes for an interesting lunch because you can see what they are eating, watch them pick their teeth, listen to them burp, and wonder how in the hell you are going to safely get out of the place when you are finished without a crowbar. The food was good, not great. To be fair, they seem to be known for their hanging roasted BBQ meats but I ordered some dumplings and a bowl of braised beef noodle soup. It was tasty but I've had better and the portions were a little small for the prices in my opinion. But, it hit the spot, was comforting, made me feel like I was sitting right in the middle of the motherland all for £12.90 which was pricey just for the food but reasonable for the forced people-watching entertainment factor that was included. I would probably go back to try something else off the menu but there are so many other places nearby that also deserve my future attention. read more

Four Seasons - Braised beef noodle soup and Pan-fried pork dumplings, £12.90 - Chinese Near Me - London, XGL

This new branch of Four Seasons absolutely rocks! Everything feels shiny and new, and yet familiar at the same time... I've been here 3-4 times already - it feels much brighter than the other branch in China Town, and there are three floors so I've always managed to get a table. Of course, the signature roast duck is the same as that in the other branches (which is a very important point to take note of!). The menu is the same as at other branches. Overall, just good, homey food - a must if you are looking for a quick, inexpensive meal. read more

I was unsure what to expect from the Chinese food here in London, but I must say I was pleased with my lunch at Four Seasons in Chinatown. First off, this area of London is much nicer and maintained than most Chinatowns I have been to in the US, which is several. It does not however ruin any of the traditional market-type feel I personally look for in a great Chinatown experience. Now to the restaurant, there is something comforting about fresh roasted duck and pig hanging in the front window. The entry way is a bit crammed, which I can see being a bit troublesome at busier times. We went here on a Sunday afternoon around 12:30 hoping for dim sum, but it turned out it was not being served. Not sure if this is normal or not, but it was definitely disappointing. Seating-wise it was slightly confined, so be prepared to sit directly next to people you don't know (basically at the same table). Aside from the close quarters the restaurant did not seem overly crowded. For starters I ordered a bowl of Fish Maw soup, which is my absolute favourite. The flavor was great, no complaints whatsoever, but in my opinion it could have either been a bit thicker or had more meat. I was a bit surprised when they only brought out an individual bowl as the menu listed it at £6, and I assumed that would be for the group. I guess that is just London for you though... We also ordered 1/2 a crispy duck for the three of us to share, which could have been more food for the price. It was served shredded with a stack of warm rice wraps and fresh veggies. In all honesty I thought this tasted excellent and the delivery was great. I liked how they gave us the bones too in case we wanted to shred a bit more off (which we did). The sauce was a bit sweet for my taste, but I tend to prefer more salty/savory sauces with meat. All in all, I will definitely be coming back here to explore more of their menu. I will just have to do more research on when dim sum is served/not served next time before coming. read more

First of all the workers here are unbelievably rude. I politely ask for a table for 3 and they say "okay you all go outside" in a rude voice while shoving his finger at my face to go outside. Fine we waited outside. 10 minutes later 3 groups came into the restaurant and they automatically got seats (I'm sure they didn't have reservations). I ask the guy about our table. His reply was "(unintelligible voice) wait". The food tastes okay compared to the other restaurants in chinatown. They serve very sloppily. Barbecued mixed meat is drowned with sauce. I recommend you try elsewhere in chinatown. read more

Love the roast duck!!! So much so, I had to come here two nights in a row during my stay in London. The best I have ever had! I grew up near San Francisco, live in New York now, have been to Hong Kong and China and STILL have not had roast duck like this. It must be because the duck is ordered from Ireland or something? The roast duck is so JUICY, TENDER, SUCCULENT, FLAVORFUL and PLUMP. Did I also mention that it is cheap? It comes de-boned if you prefer and comes with a side of sweet delicious soy sauce. I do wish the skin was a bit crispier, but the flavor is just overwhelmingly good that I'd still give it 5 stars. Service is great! I am used to rude service at Chinese restuarants but this place is not like that at all. They actually hand you menus for every person in your party, do not throw your food down or rush you out the door! It was amazing! There is always a wait, but it goes by quite fast. Stand your ground and do not be tempted to go to the other subpar restaurants in the area. There is a reason why there is a wait, and this place is totally worth it! read more

They should give me a membership card. The roast duck, the claypot lamb, the BBQ pork belly, the pok choy, the spring rolls.. ORGASMIC! The duck is a must every visit. No negotiations! I've tried a lot of the menu and so far I liked everything. I wished I had a bottomless stomach. read more

Four seasons is in the middle of London's Chinatown. I stopped in an hour before closing to get a bite to eat. I ordered bean curd, mushrooms with Chinese vegetables, pork chops, and trio meat ( roasted duck, roasted pork, and soy chicken). All the food tasted good, but the portions were on the smaller side. I don't know if it was because they were closing soon, but the bean curd and pork chops were awfully small. However, the food tasted authentic and was tasty. Overall if not for the small portions I would have rated this higher. read more

We ate there tonight, and although the food was adequate, the apparent owner or perhaps manager, was rude to us beyond belief! There was a shortage when the change was given, because he assumed we wanted to pay the discretionary fee added to the bill. We did not want to pay this fee for below average service. The above owner/manager basically had a conniption fit after we requested the he give us the correct change. His rudeness and anger at us were palpable, and he went out of his way to criticize us publicly for being Americans. He didn't seem to understand the meaning of the word discretionary, and actually said we shouldn't have given him a large enough bill to cover the entire charge if we didn't wish to pay the discretionary add on amount. He then went on a loud and rude tirade complaining that as Americans we should know better, and automatically be willing to pay the discretionary fee. From what we understand, and yes we've travelled extensively, tipping is not automatically expected in countries where restaurant employees are often paid a decent living wage, and don't have to rely on tips as much as employees in American restaurants, where employees often are only paid minimum wage, or even less in some states. Had this person been even civil when speaking to us, instead of yelling, being very rude, and basically demanding that we should never have come to his restaurant in the first place, I would have explained that when paying cash for our meal, we prefer to pay the tip ourselves from the change given when appropriate, and not have it automatically deducted from a fee added to our bill, especially if it's supposedly discretionary. Yelling at your customers who simply asked for the correct change to be given is uncalled for. He also said we were taking money out of HIS own pocket, by requesting our change. I always thought tips belonged to the server, not the owner or manager. That's certainly the case in the US, or at least it's supposed to be. In addition, insulting someone based on the country of their birth, is completely unacceptable. He then demanded that in addition to never going there again, that we should just "go back to America", where he assumed we came from. In many places, this comment could be viewed as discrimination, which is also unacceptable. As you can probably tell, we were most disappointed with our visit to this establishment, which we only went to because some others had given it a positive review. Personally, I would never recommend anyone ever go to this place, especially if the owner/manager happens to be working. read more

If I'm honest, I think the one on Gerrard Street is better, although that's not to say this isn't a very good Chinese restaurant. This is just off of the main strip of Chinatown, at one end towards the W hotel. The meats are what I go here for, the crispy belly pork, barbecued Char Siu and juicy Roast Duck. The Four Seasons group has a reputation for their staple meats and it is deserved. I go to this branch for takeout as it's closer to work (albeit not by much) and it is generally less busy than the Gerrard Street branch. You're getting the same meats and rice and in that respect it makes no difference. Some dishes I think are better in the other branch when eating in though. In the evening, this branch is a little quieter than the Gerrard Street branch and won't have the staff hassling you to return the table for the next group of people. As much as I compare it to the other branch, it's not different enough to warrant the queues of people waiting for a table at the other location. I would suggest that instead of waiting 40 mins plus, head here instead. read more

We read that this had the best roast duck in town and saw that there were people (including many Chinese people) waiting to eat there so thought it must be good, authentic Chinese food. I have to say the char sui pork is the best I have ever had. And this is why it gets 4 stars. The duck however was just not impressive. The skin was really chewy and not crispy. The meat was nice but because the skin was bad it kinda ruined "the best roast duck in town" for us. We also had a side of noodles and beansprouts which were damn tasty. Less than average service. 12.5% discretionary service charge included on bill. read more

Four Seasons is probably my favorite restaurant in Chinatown. Just a warning: the decor is nonexistent and the service isn't perfect. (What do you expect from an authentic Cantonese restaurant?) But I don't come here for the decor and service... As long as they keep serving their roast duck, I'm happy! Along with the duck, I would recommend the salt and pepper prawns. They're battered, deep fried, and heavily seasoned... Yum. read more

I'd like to rate Four Seasons somewhere between a 3 and 4. I went to their Gerrard Street branch for the first time at a friend's suggestion that they had the best roast duck in Chinatown after my mother insisted I bring a whole duck home for dinner (Chinese parents are weird.) It's fairly clear that Four Seasons know their duck. It wasn't covered it in an entire bag of five spice and they seemed to understood the importance of choosing a duck that isn't covered in half an inch of fat. The accompanying sauce was a delicate balance of sweet and savoury. It was based on this first takeaway experience that I returned a short time later to their Wardour Street branch for a dinner with my mum. The plan had been to order one dish of 3 meats (pork belly, duck and chicken) and supplement it with a stir fried green vegetable but in the end we ordered the meats with a tofu dish instead. The meats were delicious and I was glad to see that they were laid on top of a bed of Chinese leaf so there's no need to feel guilty if you don't order veggies. :P the pork belly was crunchy, duck was excellent and the chicken came with an accompaniment of ginger and coriander dipping sauce, Hainan style. All of it tasted great. Even the rice was fragrant and of a higher standard to what I've become used to in Chinatown. The tofu dish wasn't as pleasant as the rest of our meal. I can't recall the name of it but it was a deep fried tofu with a seafood meatball filling, stirfried in a sauce with a few pak choi. It wasn't awful but the sauce was heavy on MSG and cornflour which gave it a gooey texture and unpleasant aftertaste. Not bad but not the best thing to have when the other half of our meal consisted entirely of meat. It was a hot day so something lighter would have been a better idea. Our choice of dish isn't the restaurant's fault of course but I still wouldn't order it again. Altogether for 2 people (rice, tea, a meat dish and a vegetable dish) the meal came to £29 including service charge. Of course we got a duck to go after we were done because apparently that's what Chinese mothers need to do. (So weird...) Not bad for the area but for a real bargain order rice & meat individual meal, which comes to about £18 for two + drinks. read more
