Given that I am prone to strange cravings brought upon mostly by nostalgia, I didn't think twice…read morewhen my friend visited from Japan wanting "Panda Express" Chinese. Thinking to myself, "How hard could it be to find mall-quality faux Chinese food?" I steered us to Kam Fung. She could get her kung pao chicken and I figured I'd find something. Hainanese chicken rice seemed like a good choice so I went with that. What arrived at our table made Panda Express look like a darn delicacy! I'd take fried fluorescent orange poultry over this any day of the week. My Hainanese chicken rice was goopy and unappetising and tasted worse than it looked. My friend fared slightly better with her order but not by much. I felt majorly ripped off paying the bill and still had hunger pangs as we left. To Kam Fung, I would not return.

God, I love Kam Fung. I used to live just behind it more or less, so this would be our regular spot…read morefor take-aways. It is unarguably the best Chinese take-away I've tried in London, though it loses out by a hair to some other places in the dine-in stakes. Their portions are HUGE which is reflected in slightly higher prices than a bog-standard Chinese, but you very much get what you pay for. Their duck is great, thai roast pork is amazing with a beautiful vinaigrette swimming with garlic and chilli. Crispy beef are incredibly moreish and the best I've ever had. Of all the years of having food at Kam Fung I didn't once have a duff dish, though as Joanne's friend (see review below) advised, that may be because I dodged the clichéd dishes. Stick with something other than the faux-Chinese BS that pervades every menu in this country and you'll do fine! Service is friendly, prices are very reasonable, food is excellent. Fully deserving of 5 stars as it does what it sets out to do excellently. It may not be the most refined restaurant, but within its field it is unquestionably the best.

Hoo Hing Cafeteria - Duck and roast pork rice

I used to only go to Hoo Hing's to buy my food in bulk but one day we were hungry and opted to try…read moreout the cafeteria upstairs, and i'm glad we did. This is probably some of the best Chinese in London, and is most definitely the best priced. The menu consists of about 30 items ranging from soups, to won-tons, from dumplings to roast duck, and ALL of it is delicious. The food is all really simple and fresh and most dishes consist of Meat, Bok Choy and rice or noodles so if you're looking for a ton of spice or in your face flavour then this may not be the place for you. But if you like simple complimentary flavours with fresh ingredients then try here. Since trying the food there a month ago we've eaten there five times and we live on the other side of London so you can tell we think it's really worth it. I would recommend trying the Roast Duck and Pork with rice and the Char Sui Bau or Prawn Har-Gow (depending on which you prefer). The staff there don't speak much English but they are very polite and so is the manager who is fluent. I usually end up filling myself up and taking it home (they box it for me) Since eating here we've stopped ordering takeout Chinese completely, so give it a try!

brilliant traditional food at a fair price. only gripe is the supermarket was pretty cold so had to…read moreeat with jacket on.

Freakin' Delicious! Learned about it from TimeOut magazine (see link)…read more https://www.timeout.com/london/restaurants/master-wei They were right! The potato sliver salad was like a thin sliced crunchy papaya salad. Great texture with a slight quick ferment flavor. But it was the Szechuan chilies that really set it apart. Yum! And the plate of Xi'an liangpi noodles was even better! Perfect melting of chili oil & noodles. We fought for every bite. The sauce was so good. We used it for everything else afterwards. Staff were friendly and efficient great value for the money as well. Go here!

3.5 stars Grabbed…read moretakeout from Master Wei Xi'An. I got the beef noodles and the pork burger. Once I picked it up I made the short walk (literally right around the corner) back to my hotel, so everything was still warm and nowhere near soggy from sitting in a to-go container too long. The pork burger was the winner here. It had good flavor and held up well for takeout. The beef noodles were solid but not quite as good. The beef itself was a bit dry, which took away from what should've been a juicier, more satisfying bite. Xi'an cuisine is known for its hand-pulled noodles and bold, spicy flavors, so I was hoping for a bit more richness on the beef component specifically. Overall, a decent quick bite. I'd go back and order the pork burger again, though I might branch out to something other than the beef noodles next time.
