27 Best Chinese Restaurants in London

“We had the best experience. We went in as a group of 14. Food was amazing, service was top notch. highly recommend checking the Manderin out.“

“Fantastic dumplings and pot stickers and such a kind and generous proprietor. Truly a gem in the EOA neighbourhood.“

“My boys thoroughly enjoyed their meal. There was so much to choose from and we were well taken care of. They said they would rate it 99.99 out of 100 (only because there was no pasta lol)“

“This was our first Hotpot experience and I was pleasantly surprised. We got to make our own dipping sauces and the portions were awesome! The cabbage was unlike anything I've ever tasted before! Servers were friendly and very helpful getting us set up.“

“A very unique restaurant that offers a memorable dining experience with a lively atmosphere and an interesting menu. Most of the dishes have a noticeable level of spice, but the heat is balanced and complements the flavors rather than overwhelming them. Even if you aren't someone who loves extremely spicy food, many of the dishes are still enjoyable because of their rich seasoning and depth of flavor.

The presentation is appealing, portions are decent, and each dish feels thoughtfully prepared. The service is friendly and attentive, helping create a welcoming environment from start to finish. If you're looking to try something different and enjoy bold, spicy cuisine, this restaurant is definitely worth a visit.“

“Amazing fast ordering and delivery of fresh, hot, delicious food every time!“

“We are new to this place, as we were frantically searching for somewhere new because our old go-to place shut down. After a lot of disappointments, we found Wong’s Gardens and we are so pleased with their food. We’ve had two orders so far and there will definitely be a third!

The eggrolls and wonton soup are delcious…and so is the Lo Mein with beef. The beef mushroom chop suey and the diced chicken with vegetables and almonds are also wonderful. It’s not listed on the menu but the lemon chicken is also good.

It’s difficult to find a good Chinese place in London now, but Wong’s Garden is the exception. Finally a place who knows how to make decent food! Thank you so much Wong’s Garden and we are very much looking forward to our next order with you. Happy Easter! 😁“

“I love Rice Box, it was one of my premier places to go eat consistently whenever I am at Covent Garden because of the taste, service, and hospitality. I hope they have great success in their business and I hope it continues to grow! Peace! :)“

“They have lots and lots of Asian food options, including soup, noodles, rice, meat, and vegetables. If you’re trying Chinese food for the first time, I highly recommend this restaurant since most of the menu items have detailed descriptions, making it easier to choose what you’d like to try.

I ordered orange chicken and beef fried noodles on this particular day. The beef fried noodles tasted great, and the portion was generous. The orange chicken was good as well, but I would have preferred more meat and fewer vegetables.

Our server was very nice and continuously checked on our table and refilled our water.

The restaurant isn’t too loud on normal days, and the background noise is quiet enough to have a conversation with others. However, if you visit on a very busy day, it can be quite challenging to communicate.

I would also recommend making a reservation if you’re planning to visit during holidays or peak hours on weekends.“

“Jay's Garden vs. The Furry Terrorist
​Look, the food here was very good. Exactly what I expected. The wonton soup was very good, the egg rolls were very good, and the chicken chow mein was very good. The staff inside were also incredibly friendly, which was nice, because they provided the last shred of human warmth I would experience before stepping into a tactical war zone.
​I drive a Jeep. Waiting in that Jeep was my Maine Coon—a 25-pound, prehistoric apex predator who apparently woke up and chose absolute anarchy.
​I stepped inside for a grand total of sixty seconds to grab my food. In that brief window of time, this miniature lion transformed my Jeep into a hijacked mobile command unit. He didn't just accidentally bump a button; he executed a coordinated, multi-point breach. Using his massive, human-like thumbs, he slammed the master control panel, rolled every single window down, unlocked all the doors, and activated the panic alarm.
​I walked out of Jay's Garden to a scene of pure madness. The horn is blaring, lights are flashing, and my cat is sitting dead center on the hood of my Jeep like a demonic hood ornament, screaming at the sky. He wasn't just trying to hotwire the ignition; I am 100% convinced his actual plan was to drive my Jeep straight through the front doors of the restaurant, smash-and-grab the entire kitchen, and flee the jurisdiction with every ounce of chow mein in the building. He didn't escape, but he held the entire parking lot hostage, completely humiliated me, and proved himself to be the biggest pain in the ass in the entire province of Ontario.
​But actions have consequences. Because of his planned auto theft and attempted grand larceny of Chinese takeout, the furry felon got absolutely zero human food. Not a single bite. We got home, and while I enjoyed my very good dinner, he was forced to eat regular, unseasoned cat food out of the bowl of shame.
​Jay’s Garden is so dependable that I survived a vehicular coup d'état by a feline mob boss just to eat my dinner. 10/10, exactly what I expected. The cat is officially grounded until 2030.“

“I went looking for chicken balls. That was the whole plan. The place that came up was a low, grey-block building you could miss if you weren't actively looking for it. I almost drove past. But I'm glad I didn't.
Inside, there's a moon gate, latticed and circular. You step through and the room opens up: floral wallpaper, faded to a soft yellow. On the walls, gold, red, and black double happiness crests. In the center of the room, a red velvet wall with a pair of gold-painted dragons on either side. You can see where wedding signage has been hung and re-hung over the years. The marks are still faintly visible.
The tables are set with round-backed black bistro chairs, red pleather upholstery, the legs tipped in gold. They're worn in a way that feels honest. The owner mentioned that the floors used to be carpeted in crimson. I tried to picture it. The whole room a little warmer, a lot more regal.
This place has been here over fifty-eight years. You feel that, not in a heavy way, just in the quiet details: the way the light falls, the slight creak of the chairs, the smell of the stale white pepper, the sense that generations of families have sat in this room for celebrations and ordinary Tuesday nights alike.
So as we dine, there's a rhythm. The waitress dots about the room, moving between tables with easy familiarity. The door heaves open and closed, letting a constant stream of takeout orders in and out. I like it here.
Places like this are being forgotten. They're being pushed aside by commercial franchises, by mass production that values speed over soul. These family legacy businesses need protecting. We'll miss them when they're gone.
And the food? Good. Really good. The chicken balls were crisp, the sauce tangy, exactly what I'd hoped for. But honestly, I'd come back just to sit in that room again.“

“Absolutely delicious dumplings. Best in the city!!!“

“This restaurant has revamped into an AYCE hot pot restaurant. Most of the toppings are self serve, including many different cuts of thinly sliced beef and lamb. From Spam, enoki and shiitake mushrooms, tofu, three types of noodles, shrimp, seaweed, quail eggs and so much more variety.

There's even a self serve dipping sauce section with tahini, fermented tofu and sesame oil and a Chinese jelly dessert available. Aside from hot pot, they also offer some fried selections like dumplings and takoyaki.

Favourite is pitchers of iced tea or thai iced tea are available for AYCE and grilled oysters (?!) for a decent price, which is unique to Londons food scene. Decent service, willing to accommodate and never felt rushed. Will continue to come here besides other hot pot restaurants in London.“

“Best authentic Chinese food ive ever tried in canada. Nothing compares!! Even Torontos Chinatown cant beat this!! Highly recommend Guo Bao Rou it is so good as well as some of their soups they are all so good! I moved across the country and am still missing this place lol!“

“(2026/04/07)
Moderate and well-balanced flavour, and the portion sizes are decent. Food preparation is efficient during off-peak hours. The prices are competitive, and there is an extra 5% discount available.

The pricing of rice is a bit stingy: a small bowl of rice is not refillable for one person, and two people have to spend more to get a large bowl of rice, which is a drawback.“

“Not bad. I’ve been eating at the same Chinese food place most of my life, but after they retired, I’ve had to find an alternative. So far this is the closest I’ve found. Maybe they could cook their chicken balls a little longer, but it was overall pretty good. We had the dinner for three and sesame chicken.“

“My daughter and I checked it out today. We had the hot soup. It was amazing the flavour was incredible. My daughter had the Bubble tea and loved it. can't wait to try something else soon.“

“Thank you for the nice service and very delicious food 👌“

“Golden Dragon is traditional chinese hong kong cuisine. Their food is less oil and very tasty with super experienced chef. Their Peking duck is one of the best must try which is authentic chinese national taste. If you would like to test authentic chinese food and no need to traveo, this one is a must try!

“Lotus makes the best chop suey/chow mein, egg rolls and chicken balls in the city! No one else even compares. There are many good dishes from here, these are just our absolute favs that always hit. The woman who takes the orders and is at the counter is always the absolute kindest person.“

“Had take out. Lots of food, nice mix of veggies and meat, nuts, shoots, etc. Person on phone was very courteous, and the driver was fast and really nice. My place is kinda hard to find. I have been ordering for years, and will definitely go back.“

“I really enjoyed my experience here! This is for sure a very underrated location in London downtown. Their food comes out fast and the service is great. The drinks are surprisingly very tasty too! Their menu is packed with lots of choices and cuisines, but I ordered mainly from the Chinese menu.“

“their food was awsome“

“Ordered Chinese from Golden City tonight. Food was great, service was even better. We had a miscommunication explaining that we wanted to add an extra sauce to our bill, when we called back asking about the extra sauce they were able to get their delivery driver to drive the sauce to us. Best service. Definitely will be ordering again and recommending others!“

“Great taste and big portions for the cost; my first visit ever (recommended by a friend) didn't disappoint even though my order came in 2 bags and I only saw one on the counter when I picked it up. When I got home, i was a bit annoyed because some of my order was missing but apparently they tried to contact me after I left (I never heard the call but I was driving so I couldn't pick up anyway) and I didn't discover the missing items until I got home; it was a dismal weather night but I went back to get the rest of my order; it was all there in the end but maybe in future they could staple the 2 bags together to ensure the 2nd one doesn't get missed. They said they pushed the much smaller 2nd bag towards me on the counter but the pickup space is tiny and I never saw the 2nd bag, only the big one in front. Again, if the staff member had said something I would have known to look for a 2nd bag. No big deal but it's the little things that count. The food and value were still worth it however... just make sure you pick up all of your bags the first time 😉“

“Visit: May 27,2026

I went with my family for a birthday lunch on a Wednesday at noon. I have been here before (two years ago) but I thought I’d bring my family here since they’ve been wanting to come for awhile (and it’s a bit of a drive for us to come here all the way from the north east part of London, so we’ve only decided to come for special occasions).

The food is amazing! This is real deal Chinese food. We ordered the tray for 2 (bobo tray) for appetizers. Main Course: Vegetable fried rice, Tofu with Mixed vegetables, Bok Choy, Sweet & sour chicken, General Tao Chicken and the seafood volcano mix on sizzler plates. Everything was outstanding! Food came out quick, hot and fresh. The service was amazing too we loved talking to the owner, she was very outgoing. We also loved the oldschool layout inside, it brought a sense of nostalgia to how Chinese restaurants looked when I went to them growing up. I’d highly recommend you go and try this hidden gem out!“

“My god! Phenomenal experience all around. We got the Family 2a and a chicken pad Thai.

Awesome food. Portions are beyond generous. Super flavorful. Will have leftovers for a while :-)

Well done! Proud they are in the neighborhood.“
