Best Chinese Restaurants in London
Best Chinese Restaurants in London
Anne Chua
Chinatown remains a hot tourist spot in London and there's a reason why. 1.5% of London's population are of Chinese ethnicity. Chinatown is always bustling with life and you will find most restaurant owners/staff of Chinese origin, making this a very authentic place to eat Chinese food. However, as it is limited to one main street, there have been many other amazing Chinese restaurants that have popped up.
Here's a list of my personal favourite Chinese restaurants in London. Follow @anneotherhuangryasian on Instagram for more food recs!
I hope you enjoy this guide.
Any tips would be appreciated 😊

Hakkasan, the same family that owns HKK and Yauatcha, is the first Chinese restaurant that earned a Michelin star in 2003 and has retained it since! All around good dishes and vibes.
