Top Best Chinese Restaurants in London Borough of Lewisham

"When it launched it Fitzrovia in 2001, Hakkasan’s aim was to reimagine ancient gastronomy for the modern day. Judging by the phenomenal success that the restaurant chain has enjoyed around the world – the group now operates in 12 locations that stretch from Las Vegas to Shanghai – we’d say it was mission accomplished. Hakkasan at Home offers Hakkasan’s award-winning Michelin-star Cantonese cuisine for guests to enjoy in their own dining rooms (or on the sofa)."

"If slick and sexy is the date vibe you’re going for, the low-lit labyrinth of Hakkasan’s Mayfair restaurant is one of London’s most seductive spots. Head underground via the waterfall-lit stairs to find tables flanked by peek-a-boo wooden panelling and a gently thrumming soundtrack."

"Another Michelin-starred spot, Hakkasan champions modern Cantonese food, with world-class drinks to match. Make your way through freshwater prawns, cuttlefish shui mai and king crab dumplings, in what promises to be some of the best dim sum in London."

"Despite its effortlessly stylish setting, Yauatcha makes fine dining thoroughly accessible, with reasonable prices for Michelin star quality food. A celebration of Cantonese cuisine, dim sum makes up the restaurant’s main offering and is served throughout the day, though they have a number of different menu options tailored to several price points. For those looking for something a little more luxe, we recommend treating yourself to their Harmony menu which includes two dim sum, an appetiser, a wok dish, a side and dessert per person."

"Fragrant noodle dishes, meat-filled wontons and lip-smacking curries are served at Yauatcha on Soho's Broadwick Street, where dimly lit interiors are adorned with sleek furnishings. Be sure to save room for dessert - try the "Winter Sun", an exotic fruit mousse served with black-sesame cream and a banana-toffee compote, or the praline brownie topped with salted yuzu caramel."

"If you're looking for a Michelin-star Chinese takeaway in London, then Yauatcha is a guaranteed winner. The Chinatown restaurant is known for serving up some of the finest dim sum in the biz, with a tempting cocktail list to match. Add a touch of luxe to your next night in by selecting one of their gourmet set menus, available to order online."

"They do say heat rises: Chinese restaurant Hutong is for thrill-seekers who love a bit of spice with their heights. Positioned on the 33rd level of The Shard – London’s tallest building by quite a stretch – a night at Hutong comes with a view of pretty much the entire city and its twinkling lights, as well as fiery pepper-packed Sichuan dishes. Head one level down at the Shard and you’ll find Aqua Shard and Oblix, a duo of restaurants with similarly stunning views and a little less numbing of the tongue."

"Take the romance to another level – or 33 – at the Shard’s sky-high northern Chinese restaurant, where the panoramic views of the city are simply astounding. Inside, the restaurant is low-lit, dotted with glowing red lanterns, and intricately decorated with antique wooden panels. Things really heat up when you get to the menu: Sichuan spice peppers most dishes, so it’s aphrodisiac-central."

"Restaurants Contemporary Asian London Bridge. Like the original Hutong in Hong Kong, this London offshoot is a glitzy, high-end Chinese with magnificent views. It has the same northern Chinese menu, the same plate glass surrounds and the same ersatz Old Beijing decor."

"This Pimlico Chinese, inspired by Andrew Wong’s travels around China, offers the the best of the country’s varied regional cuisines. For those intimidated by a multi-choice menu, A Wong will create a bespoke selection of dishes for sharing at your table, such as Chengdu tofu with soy chilli and preserved vegetables or baskets of steamed dim sum. Seats at the bar offer diners the theatre of the kitchen and the chance to try the chef’s newest dishes."

"Restaurants Chinese Victoria. Forget gilded dragons, book-length menus and stir-fries by numbers, Andrew Wong’s pared-back Pimlico Chinese is a singular affair offering elevated cuisine at everyday prices. Preserved duck egg with marinated tofu, chill and soy is typical, as is poached razor clam with sea cucumber, vinegar tapioca and wind-dried sausage."

"Helmed by London-born chef Andrew Wong, this Chinese restaurant seamlessly switches between a delightful dim-sum menu during the day and heaped plates of authentic cuisine in the evening. Try the 10-course tasting menu, which showcases the best of Wong's culinary finesse."

"It may be a lesser known spot, but Chinese restaurant Min Jiang – perched on the tenth floor of the Royal Garden Hotel – boasts one of the best views in London. A hidden gem overlooking the picturesque Kensington Gardens, Min Jiang is renowned for its impeccable service, as well as its picture-perfect vista. Go for the house duck: a whole Beijing duck served two ways, the first with homemade pancakes, and the second a dish of your choice – fried rice, with diced or minced duck and a lettuce wrap."

"Restaurants Chinese Kensington. We’re very fond of Min Jiang, not only for its superlative daytime views of Kensington Gardens, but also for its celebrated take on Beijing duck – a dish of two gigantic ritualistic servings that needs to be ordered in advance. Also expect Sichuan classics such as double-cooked pork belly with Chinese leeks."

"Restaurants Chinese Shepherd’s Bush. Food-wise at this Chinese restaurant in Shepherd’s Bush’s Dorsett Hotel, top marks go to the exquisitely crafted dim sum – from the signature xiao long bao to sophisticated open parcels of scallop siu mai topped with tobiko – while the dining room reflects the classy comfort of its hotel setting."

"Chinese , Dim Sum"

"Cantonese cuisine encompasses a lot of Chinese favourites, and there are a lot of Cantonese restaurants in Chinatown. So, when one of you is devoted to dumplings and the other is set on sweet and sour, Orient London is a place that does many things well. This Wardour Street spot is more upmarket and certainly more spacious than most Chinatown digs, but the prices remain firmly affordable – set menus start in their mid-teens per person."

"With four locations and a reputation for serving up some of the most authentic dumplings, buns and baos across the city, Ping Pong is a name that should already be on your 'best Chinese restaurants in London' list. But especially this Chinese New Year. That's because Ping Pong are giving you and your colleagues the chance to taste a special selection of handcrafted dumplings and innovative dishes all with subtle influences from the Year of the Pig."

"What: We would have included Ping Pong’s ‘Lazy Sumday’ menu solely on the merit of its punny title, but it turns out its substance is as good as its name. For less than £30, you can fill up on baos, buns and dumplings until your heart’s (or stomach’s) content. And, as if unlimited dim sum wasn’t enough, you can also add a bottle of prosecco to your lunch for a tenner."

"Dealing exclusively in dim sum dishes, cocktails and Chinese tea, these lively, modern venues – located across London – are great for either a snack or a full-scale meal."

"The inside of Silk Road now too often resembles a seminar of Theatre and Performance students at Goldsmiths, which is why it’s all the more important to bypass sitting inside and get the food to go — which is still an option not a lot of people take advantage of. Since reopening in July, it feels like some dishes are back at a high consistency: the T.E.P. (tomato, egg, pepper) noodles had a proper hit of chilli and cumulonimbus egg whites coddling tensile noodles, and barely cooked tomato chunks, while getting the handmade cabbage in a tupperware makes it easier to drink its umami rich sauce despite it being at least 80% scalding oil."

"49 Camberwell Church St, Camberwell, London SE5 8TR, United Kingdom. Located on Camberwell Church Street, Silk Road is always packed and for good reason as it’s got to be one of the cheapest yet most delicious Chinese restaurants in London. You can spend ages in there with a big group, ordering all the food and drinking all the beers, and it’s somehow impossible to ever spend more than £15 a head."

"Mukaddes Yadikar’s acclaimed Uyghur restaurant, is Walthamstow’s finest neighbourhood restaurant. It remains open for takeaway and is delivering through Deliveroo. A great option both for smaller and larger households with dishes such as chaomian, a stir-fry of short, cut lengths of noodle wokked with chunks of of beef, spring onion and tomato; and the trademark da pan ji (‘big plate chicken’): a remarkably deep, savoury, and spicy chicken and potato stew, teeming with Sichuan peppercorns, served with flat hand-pulled noodles."

"Restaurants Chinese Walthamstow. Something a bit different: this family-run restaurant specialises in Uyghur cuisine – a fusion of Chinese, Middle Eastern and Persian influences developed by ethnic groups around the Silk Road. Traditional dishes such as ox tongue in chilli and vinegar or herb-marinated lamb hoof with peppers are great value – and a world away from sweet-and-sour."

"Located on the sixth floor of the newly refurbished Page8 Hotel, this spacious (six thousand square foot to be precise) Japanese restaurant is set to be London’s hottest rooftop hangout. Designed with nature and wellness in mind, two external roof terraces and a separate bar area overlook Trafalgar Square. Unobstructed city views are a big draw but the best part?"

"Bisushimi’s rooftop restaurant by Trafalgar Square barely had time to open this year, so they’ve switched to showcasing their food on delivery. Make sure you order their Toro Taku Maki made with dry-aged rich marbled Bluefin Tuna. Read our Test Drive."

"With views over Trafalgar Square and two massive roof terraces, expect this new Japanese restaurant to be quite a draw. (Initially delivery & takeaway only)"

"Headed up by the legendary Padam Raj Rai, with almost two decades of experience in the Japanese culinary scene, Hot Stone Steak and Sushi Bar is a mix of trendy decor and real, full-bodied flavours. You know how we mentioned before that it’s rare to taste actually wasabi?. Well, what makes this North London sushi joint all the more special is that it is one of the only places in London that serves real wasabi root with their sushi."

"Hot Stone is an award-winning Japanese restaurant in Islington, which specialises in the ishiyaki method – DIY cooking on hot stones. It is also one of the few restaurants in the UK to serve certified Kobe beef. It’s a truly special dinner experience with Japanese wagyu and scallops to sear yourself, a selection of sushi and sashimi, plus salads on the side."

"By day, Tea Darling, way out west in the wilds of Acton Town (actually a London suburb easily reached on the Piccadilly and the District Line), is a really old fashioned tea shop with vintage china and a good assortment of home made cakes and tea sandwiches, including gluten free and vegan variations. On selected evenings (check their website) they host jazz and comedy nights when you can stick to tea or coffee with cake or bring your own bottle (£5 corkage fee). If you arrive in your best 40s or 50s vintage outfit, all the better."

"On the menu: If you don’t know what’s on the McDonald’s menu, we’re shocked. However, if that’s the case, let’s have a quick skirt over. You have a range of different burgers, whether that be beef or chicken."
