We had a wonderful family lunch with beautiful views over the park and beyond. Notable dishes were crab and sweetcorn soup, fried squid, a delicious selection of dim sum and the duck which was outstanding and we had the noodle option which was delicious and the gai lan with garlic. The staff were super attentive even anticipating that my elderly mother might need arms for the chair. We had a very happy and memorable lunch and look forward to coming back again soon. Even though we no longer live in London we plan a visit around Ming Jiang!

It would’ve been a perfect meal, had it not been for the waiter who told us that they don’t have small glasses to serve white wine in the whole of the restaurant! So he insisted on serving the chilled white wine in large red wine goblets until we pestered another server and she happily went and got them ! No reason for anyone to not have the correct etiquette in a Mayfair restaurant! Simply lazy or he didn’t think we were worthy enough to make an effort.
