REALLY good Sichuan food…read more I'm a huge fan of Sichuan food, and it's genuinely hard to find it when I'm craving it - this place is exactly what I wanted. The spice level is perfect (i.e., high, like I had in Chengdu, but without being cloying or offensive). Everything was perfectly cooked and hit the spot. The place isn't particularly fancy, but service is friendly and fast. Can't recommend it enough.

Ordered: Hot and Sour Soup - good version, not too thick, not too acidic. Szechuan chicken wings - floured, fried and covered in a hot and sweet chili sauce - excellent Grandma's Fried Chicken - mild hacked chicken stir fry; be careful of the bones. Good but not extraordinary. Pork threads in garlic shoots - very good Szechuan dish with an somewhat hot sauce that went well over the rice. Egg fried rice - bland but was a fine base for the sauced dishes. Food was exactly what I was looking for and very good. Front of house had a bit of a problem with my American accent.

Just walking in here the smells had me believing it was going to be a great meal…read more The menu had an impressive list of authentic Sichuan fare, including the "numbing" spicy dishes so sought after. Everything at every table looked delicious, and the portions were generous but not over the top. We had the egg and seaweed soup -- good but wouldn't order again as the seaweed was very large and difficult to eat and a bit overpowering. The twice-cooked pork was great. A bit on the salty side and not as spicy as I anticipated, but full of flavor. We also ordered their version of kung-pow chicken, which was different than what I'm accustomed to and preferable. Good chunks of chicken, roasted peanuts and a tangy sauce. Be warned that like a lot of places here any rice will cost you extra, you won't just get white rice with your meal. Would definitely return here and try more if only I lived in London!

We went to this restaurant by chance and were drawn in by the fact that there seemed to be a mainly…read moreChinese clientele - which, for us, was a promising sign for a Chinese restaurant...and it did not disappoint. We had a highly entertaining waiter and went for a two-person set menu which was DELICIOUS. The duck pancakes in particular were just the right crispiness and the black bean beef dish was also very tasty. All of the three different dishes we ate were great actually. If you're around Soho and/or Chinatown and are spoilt for choice with the countless Chinese restaurants, this is a pretty good place to start.

Came here after a night out in SoHo/Chinatown. It was the only Chinese food I could find that was…read moreopen around 3 am. I was very excited since this place has good reviews! 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.

Too many choices!! Also dim sum all day! Duck Bao, shrimp dumpling, mushroom dumpling, ho chow…read morenoodles, and Westlake soup. Trust me, if I had a bigger stomach, the roast duck would've been on my tab. Service was friendly. Food came out fast. Satisfied with the price point, and happy I went!

Excellent restaurant in Chinatown. Food - dumplings and duck - was fresh and very delicious…read more Servers were patient and really helpful, especially when we didn't know how to eat the duck! We were lucky to get a table at 5:30. Prices are reasonable. Bathrooms up a steep flight of stairs.

After a wonderful dining experience last year, could not wait to return to The Good Earth during…read morea recent stay in London. I'm glad we did. Again quality, consistency and ambiance was spot on. The food is high end, well served and part of a Chinese white table cloth dining experience which is, for the most part, not very common in New York City anymore. We tried different specialities among them a chicken dumplings, a duck dish, spicy Lamb, and the special Dragon Whiskers Prawns. (in honor of Year of the Dragon!). All delectable and expertly served. Even later in the evening the restaurant was quite crowded. We also had the honor to meet Andy, the Founder's son, who explained a bit of background on this Restaurant, which has become a Family passion. When next on London, we'll be back!

Wow. Some of the best Chinese food I've ever had, went twice during my trip to London. Don't think…read moreI can think of one negative thing to say about the Good Earth. Service is exceptional, food is to die for. Tried several dishes on both visits and loved each. Walking distance from Harrods and Harvey Nichols is a plus.

You can tell a lot about a place based on its soup…read more I can't say much about anything other than the soup here, but the pork and shrimp wonton is delicious. I could easily eat a small bowl of this 2-3 times a week. The reason I'm reviewing a soup if because I'm in London for a work trip and one of my students developed pneumonia while we were here. THIS SOUP was the only thing the student could or would keep down for two full days. I finally decided to try it myself, and I can see why: delicate wontons that are perfectly thin, giving way to a succulent bundle of pork and shrimp. The simple green onion garnish on the broth is a perfect herbaceous touch. I've gotten this dish about 3 days in a row, and I'm not ashamed to say tomorrow will likely be Day Four: Judge me. I don't care.

First of all the name of the restaurant has changed to China Modern. Since I found it on Yelp as…read moreShanghai Modern it was difficult to find. I called the restaurant to make sure they offered Peking Duck which they confirmed. When my order of Peking Duck came it was not good. The duck seemed like it was made then frozen then steamed or microwaved. The skin was loose and floppy not at all crispy. I didn't order Crispy Duck but Peking Duck is not supposed to come with loose and floppy skin. I complained and sent it back. I just ended up ordering cha shu bao instead. My husband ordered a Mapu Tofu. The food tasted fine but we both ended up needing a toilet before too long.

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.
