A heavenly spread. Easily my favourite Chinese in London. Everyone has their go-to but this is where I always find myself going back to. The Peking duck is top tier, prepared the traditional way with ultra crispy, golden lacquered skin, translucent pancakes, deeply sweet hoisin, spring onions & cucumbers. For second course, their duck lettuce wraps with the remaining off-cuts is the best. They stir fry the remaining... More

A heavenly spread. Easily my favourite Chinese in London. Everyone has their go-to but this is where I always find myself going back to. The Peking duck is top tier, prepared the traditional way with ultra crispy, golden lacquered skin, translucent pancakes, deeply sweet hoisin, spring onions & cucumbers. For second course, their duck lettuce wraps with the remaining off-cuts is the best. They stir fry the remaining duck and serve it with fresh crisp lettuce cups - a lighter but equally tasty way to enjoy it. Their Siulong bao soup dumplings are always phenomenal - filled with a warming and rich broth and tender pork mince. For mains, their sweet and sour chicken is the must order. So many good items on the menu here.. charsiu bao, sizzling pepper beef, tiger prawn toast to name a few. Best of all.. any leftovers are just as good for takeaway #notoriousfoodie 🙅🏽♂️

Dimsum and Duck @chinatanglondon @thedorchester 🦆🔥

Nothing quite like it. Still one of my favourites for Chinese. The duck here is excellent - perfectly golden and lacquered all over with really tender and flavoursome meat. The move is to ask for them to wrap the duck for you, one because they do a much better job and two because it’s so satisfying to just grab and eat this way. On the side, my favourite sesame prawn toast, xiaolong bao, crispy prawn wontons, and their... More

I have always wanted to see what The Dorchester’s Chinese restaurant is like as it’s reputation has been very good over the years and so it was great to see for myself today. The set menu at lunch for £27.50 which included a glass of red or white was very good value for the Dim Sum, three duck pancakes and (fillet) beef noodle dishes. The Dim Sum was fair but did need bringing to life by the rice vinegar and chili oil and sauces (both well done); the duck pancakes were very good although... More
I have always wanted to see what The Dorchester’s Chinese restaurant is like as it’s reputation has been very good over the years and so it was great to see for myself today. The set menu at lunch for £27.50 which included a glass of red or white was very good value for the Dim Sum, three duck pancakes and (fillet) beef noodle dishes. The Dim Sum was fair but did need bringing to life by the rice vinegar and chili oil and sauces (both well done); the duck pancakes were very good although a little strange to have 6 pancakes with only three pieces of duck (explanation was that they came in a pack so not the best sign there) but the plum sauce was home made and very good and finally the steamed vegetables with oyster sauce were great, only let down slightly by the bland sauce that came with the beef slices. However, overall and with the additions of the chili and soy sauce, it was still perfectly reasonable food and pleasing.
The only surprising aspect was the fact that the front of house (who I assume was the head maître d’ being in his suit at the entrance / exit) seemed to engage in a one-upmanship contest with me on my way out, after I said thanks at the end and offered to leave this website address so the management knew where I would be writing (in case they were interested in what someone was writing about them in the public domain).

On the whole, the service inside the restaurant throughout the meal today was very attentive and although not the quickest (not even half the covers were taken at lunch today and yet the staff seemed to be working almost uncomfortably hard), the bit that let the meal down the most was having to engage with a passive-agressive head greeter on leaving. Shame, as this was notable and has obviously caused me to write about it here, but ultimately the food was still a very good show and has passed the set menu lunch hurdle with flying colours; certainly enough to make me say that another visit to try the main Peking duck dish would be highly worth it at some point – hopefully the front of house will be less pedestrian on the revisit.
