I have been here over 10/15 times in the last 10 years, one of the best Asian restaurants in London. However this time there were some negative notes. First of all, the A/C in the dining room downstairs, it was quite cold (most people were covering up during dinner). Second, I would always order the fried chili squid, however this time we found them a bit chewy as they were cut larger than usual. All other dishes and service was excellent. Overall, a bit disappointed but still had nice evening

The standards of food is certainly being maintained and our dinner was absolutely fantastic. The service was exemplary and unfortunately I didn’t make a note of our wonderful waiter but they will know who I mean! The quality of the ingredients speak for themselves and the best peking duck outside Singapore!

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.
