China Tang

Bird nest soup... do I need to say more?

If you are craving some true Asian delights, this is the place to go. Duck that is being served at your table with fragrance that will transport you to Beijing,

The place is beautiful, the service is formal and perfect. They have an extensive wine list for every flavor and a menu with all the classics.

My favorite restaurant in London!

I have dined at China Tang several times over the last decade on visits to London. This was my first post COVID and although having to adjust my expectations somewhat feel that there is work to do to get this restaurant back on track.

We had a glass of champagne which was not poured at the table, seemed a little light on the bubbles and a flute three quarters full at the princely sum of twenty five pounds.

A polite word with the manager led to them doubling down saying, "this is how we always do this". OK....

The food was not up to par - the chicken squab was tasteless, the prawns though were decent.

I feel that whilst a challenging time for the hospitality industry it is likely better to offer a reduced menu at the highest standards than allow things to slide and hide behind the pandemic. It risks regulars moving on especially as new openings gather pace...

Get the duck! It's amazing!!!

I can say without a doubt the best Chinese in London, plus the drinks are amazing.... Absolute 10 stars if possible

Extremely disappointing- this dish displayed exactly how it tasted.
Everything else lacked flavor of any sort.

Came for my parents 40th wedding anniversary. We absolutely loved the restaurant, the service and the food.
Highly recommend.

This place does not bring you back to the Tang dynasty, but it does bring you back in time to the early 20th century. The venue is an enthralling Chinese and art deco fusion by David Tang and is located inside The Dorchester. The stairs down to the restaurant almost give it a seductive speakeasy vibe, and the beautiful cocktail bar and Chinese artwork only add to that vibe.

The restaurant is open starting from lunch, and the food is authentic Cantonese cuisine. Dim sum and other dishes are served all day from opening to closing. I had dim sum here for lunch and tried the har kau, siu mai, and congee. All were extremely tasty, though the portion sizes are on the smaller size.

China Tang is authentic food in a fine dining setting, and the prices reflect the food quality and ambiance. This is not a casual dim sum cafe where people read a newspaper while enjoying their food, and dim sum carts are not pushed around here. This is a place to go for a unique experience that may be exotic or nostalgic.

Rudest host ever. So unaccommodating on an already existing reservation . My mom was going there at least 3 times a month and bring her guests and family . They have lost good customers

Legit.

That's all you need to know. I've had dim sum in many countries around the world, including China (of course) and this place is the real deal.

A few weeks ago in New York (Hells Kitchen) I had what I thought at the time was the best dim sum outside of Shanghai or Hong Kong. But I was wrong. This is better.

I had the Pork Buns, Scallops and Shumai. I ended up ordering ANOTHER dose of those pork buns because HOLY $H!T they were so good.

The prices are a little steep - especially the cocktails - but they're strong and after a couple you won't care about the bill. I would have enjoyed this more in a group, as there were mostly groups at the other tables, but hey - when you travel alone at least you get to pick the restaurant without arguments!

The food was great. The staff was friendly but definitely looked over worked and tired. I wanted the "China" experience ... but it was more like Abu Dhabi inside

China Tang is located in the Dorchester Hotel in Mayfair, London. We reside in Toronto, Ontario, in Canada and we have been eating at China Tang for the past three years when we are visiting London. In the past the food and service were both great. Today, however, we noticed a considerable change in the food. We ordered our usual items; Shrimp Dumplings and Spring Rolls for appetizers, Crispy Chicken, Sichuan Prawns, Beef with Pepper, and Crispy noodles with vegetables for our main dishes. With the exception of the appetizers, and our bottle of Domaine Wachau our food was terrible. The presentation was unappetizing, all of our food arrived at the same time, and the quality and flavour were poor. To make matters worse I still have an upset stomach several hours later. We are very disappointed that the quality of service and food have changed so significantly.
