Park Chinois Review

An amazing dim sum very delicious and worth every penny, will come back again

There are some very good places to eat in london and this is one of them. Looking forward to trying the night life one evening. Dim sum best in Europe.

This is by far my most favourite london restaurant. It is elegant and stunning and the entertainment is superb. The food is absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. Highly recommend.

Amazing experience
You pay a premium at Park Chinois but my word its worth it.
Three waiters per table, great floor show, amazing food and wine.
One of the best restaurants in London in my opiion

the live entertainment was an unexpected but enjoyable element to my night here. The food was marvellous , particularly the starters. I was partial to the Wasabi Prawns but everything is top notch. Beautiful decor and mood setting lighting really gave the place an otherworldly vibe.

Lamb was good, rice with black truffle was not up to my expectation. The ambiance is amazing and performances were beyond.

Drinks are bomb! Always happy, they re perfect, not too sweet. After few times of going to bar I finally went for dinner! Cannot describe, service, show, taste of food and the way they decorate plates ! Its must see

Super super super cool place! It is pricey but def worth it! The shows are great and the food is delish... What ever you order from the menu definitely will satisfy your apetite! Its a good occasion for a weekend fancy dinner!

Over the top Deco! High quality Chinese food with quartet performance. Strange mix but somehow works.

Brilliant Experience!!!
First time at Park Chinois with my wife and a friend of ours.

Read a few reviews most of them were good except a few where reviewers found staff rude and food too expensive .
Completely disagree with that !
My experience was excellent.
Special thanks to Raquel who managed the place brilliantly and despite the place being maddeningly busy was the most courteous and friendly person around. Rest of the staff were very courteous and took care of everything to make us comfortable and well looked after.
During one of our conversations with Raquel we mentioned the adverse reviews I had read (and told her I didn't agree) , she had the maturity to accept them and thanked us !
Was quite surprised at how busy it was even on a weekday evening.
Nice Decor.
Food was well worth the price and one of the tastiest I have had and the same view was shared by others.
The live jazz group was very good.
If this place doesn't get 5 stars then no one else should.
Thanks Raquel and thank you to the rest of the star staff.

I came here for a special occasion and I was definitely disappointed. The live band wasn t very good, namely the singer who could barely be heard - and we were situated next to the stage that the band were playing on!
The songs weren t a great choice either - and for such a high standard of venue, I definitely expect a better service than what we received.

The decor is great, the drinks at the bar were amazing but from there it went downhill with annoying (non)service at the dining table and food that was dressed to kill but really did not stand out. Left very irritated.

Superb roast duck. Needs to be ordered in advance. Good service. Pretty tacky entertainment, though.

Sensational place! Amazing ambience and atmosphere! xxx

Chinese dishes with an old school English style of glamorous, understated service. The lunchtime fixed price menu is the best value meal in Mayfair

Good food and nice entertainment, went their with my wife, daughter and her friends , but we didn't get dinner as the waiter forgot to ask us for the order and the chef left but they compensated by offering desserts on the house.

Best Chinese food in london, a bit pricey but worth it and while eating you can enjoy the music band with their relaxing music

Lovely, superb atmosphere & great food!
Definitely coming back!
We stayed here over lunch - unfortunately there was no live show at that time but we still enjoyed it very much.

great ambience and band just right to have a fun social evening. On the downside, the waiters very unhelpful - on the verge of rude and extortionate prices for decent chinese /fusion food. Some more thought should also go into the More

rather contemporary Chinese food, nice deco in the restaurant & bar, and the main entrance. Great wine menu altho not many mid entry level wines for the people on budget. service was attentive and food quality/ingredients very good.

Maybe the best duck pancakes in London... I know they're probably not authentic blah blah blah... but they taste amazing! Probably helped my experience that I wasn't the one getting the bill.

Absolutely appalling customer service. We had the opera section for my husband s birthday. Only have one waiter serving 17 people. Food was cold, had to wait for 30 mins for our drinks and even then the drinks were usually incorrect but we More

Had the most delicious duck 100/100 will pass by in the future. The service is super good

One of my favourite restaurants. Great ambience, service and food... cocktails are brill as well! Reservation is a must!

Would have been a 5 star rating as the food and drinks were fantastic. Unfortunately the service was horrible. Poor service and bad waiter can ruin a meal.

We've been three times now, twice in the evening and once during the day for dim sum so it's really had a chance to settle in and Park Chinois is just not cutting the mustard. The dim sum during the day is sublime- slightly overstuffed but delicious! The seating isn't great because you are meant to sit side by side to view the 'stage' and depending on where you sit a quarter of the tables are real duds! The service is a joke- possibly the worst in London?! You ask for drinks, they forget, you chase again. On one occasion we asked for the bill four times from 3 different waiters! The food in the evening is good- but not to as high a standard as the dim sum at lunch. I'd go here for lunch and stick to China Tang for the evening!

Food was great but don't expect good service, be aware of the club/restaurant downstairs. It is very loud. The show they have is ridiculous.

Tres chic! Fancy food, delicious flavors in Asian cuisine served elegantly in chic ambiance. Must visit the washroom, the sink and water faucet are pieces of art! Loved it

Excellent food... Amazing atmosphere and very attentive staff... Highly recommended

Very cool ambiance. I love the 1930's cabaret feel. Very average food though. Hence my rating. I would give 5* for decor + ambiance

A Mexican restaurant with a difference. Slick service in a prestigious location. Slightly pricy but worth a visit.

Great Staff
I liked this Place

HALAL DIM SUM whoopie, finally dim sum dough made without animal fat. The best ever, fresh ingredients and a total balace of texture. WOW
This now our weekend lunch hangout. THANK YOU PARK CHINOIS..... hopefully your attention to halal options will take you from strength to strength

Sub par service with very aggressive waiters. DON'T GO wearing nice clothes. My shirt was ripped whilst I was leaning on their bannister waiting for my coat in the overflowing and mismanaged reception. Informed the staff and they didn't care. Followed up and never heard back. Imagine there are lots of other health and safety hazards in this haunt.

Terrible service given the price paid. Average food.

I recommend booking on the lower floor. I give both food and service high rating. Expensive but cool.

The food was all unnecessarily fried and full of oil. I was expecting better quality food and it was very disappointing that it couldn t match the atmosphere . The show on the other hand was very entertaining.

Most tastiest, Creative Dim Sum & with delicious Contemporary Chinese dishes. A WOW experience Served exquisitely

Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed the whole Park Chinois experience. The setting and atmosphere was so romantic, perfect place for a date, casual people watching, or an entertaining evening for both food and music. I liked that it was sophisticated, elegant yet friendly at the same time. We felt very special while we were there throughout the whole evening. The staff were both attentive and friendly throughout. The interior design and attention to detail completely transported us to 1930's Shanghai. Food and drinks were fantastic. Highly recommend Blood Orange Thyme and Redcurrant Verjus for cocktails. As for food, Park Carbonara, Guinea Fowl and Potted rice were fantastic.

Beautiful supper club. Good Chinese food great music. We miss these in NYC.

Amazing restaurant, super glamorous decor, excellent service, the most delicious Chinese food in London, love everything about this restaurant is definitely top notch

The food was absolutely amazing especially the duck and the winter melon soup

Positives -
Great bar service and staff with drink recommendations
Good food, wide variety and range
If dinning you're guaranteed a great view off the acts for the evening

Negatives -
This will end up being a pricey night so be prepared - deep pockets
Performers change night to night so this is a gamble (First time was amazing, second time was less so)
Bar area can get very crowed during peak times
Dinning area is dimly lit, hard to see what you're actually eating at times

Great environment jazzy upstairs and club atmosphere downstairs restaurant events dance party and burlesque just ask info before booking! Good service and great prices on certain wines and champagne also friendly staff!

Our friends and mentorees were flying from Frankfurt for a dinner with us on Friday evening and then heading back early Saturday. So we wanted to host them for dinner at a place that would be both memorable and relaxed. Park Chinois not only met but exceeded ours and their expectations! A truly magical evening. Started with Champagne which went down so well with delicious starters like Squid (served on a bed of grated apples and cashew nuts - wow!), Dim Sum platter and Chilli Chicken. Then a middle course of The Chinois Duck (best to preorder to avoid disappointment). We took an hour to finish this middle course over great conversation and lovely flowing wine. Mains were so good with Seabass and lychees being memorable. No one could not resist the lovely desserts (Lychee panacota and Apple cheesecake) followed by liquors. The Europeans were blown away by the ambience, food presentation and quality and the impeccable and attentive service. Well done management. You have created a great jewel in the middle of Mayfair. I am planning the next excuse to celebrate and return to our oasis in Mayfair.

Amazing food.. Everything is very good and tasty. The dessert has been incredible

Food 4/10
Service 1/10
Atmosphere 9/10

Really overpriced, service was so bad waited 50 mins for my partners drink. The entertainment / music is amazing. Food ok but def not worth the price. Would go again but just for drinks if we get them before 10

Opulent surroundings that help to create a great atmosphere. Decent live jazz band. Drinks menu is extensive. Food is rather mediocre.

Me and my husband have been here over 10x and we love this place, love the atmosphere and food is great.

Atmosphere is nice, great staff and service. Live band during dinner and delicious food.

An opulent swanky establishment with a variety of live entertaining performance acts and music every half hour. Premium pan Asian food choices. Quite a pricey experience, however definitely worth the one off experience for an occasion.

Just an overly decorated restaurant with average level of food and service. However, you re paying way above average prices. Some of the dim sum ingredients were not even hand made just delivered or bought off the shelf...that s kind of unexpected for this price level. There was really nothing interesting for me even to take a picture for. I m being picky but at a Chinese restaurant serving tea for lunch shouldn t the water be hot at least. It was warm at the very best and most of the time we had to ask for the water to be refilled and had to prepare the tea ourselves. What was really funny was how they served with wooden chopsticks in an upscale Chinese restaurant??? I thought i walked into a sushi bar. Get the details right and I think this place would be worth a visit but at these prices I would forget it. Can see why it s quite empty even during lunch hours.

Thoroughly disappointed by the service , initially when we arrived we told our table was downstairs, when we got there, we told to go back upstairs! The unprofessional lady didn't even apologise and just told us to take a seat, we were escorted to our table by 2-3 waiters... the ladies at the front clearly had no idea what they were doing.. no apology either!

The food was then served by very unhappy unprofessional waiters, who snatched the receipt from our table after we had paid. Food was good but experience was terrible! Clearly a group of unprofessional unhappy staff members who clearly didn't want to be there! Won't go again!!!

The stars were purely for the food!

Very good atmosphere. Live music. Good food. Service could be much improved

It's a place full of glamorous people for sure, very beautiful and ornate. The food hits new highs and especially the Kumg Pao chicken and Lamb. Overall my best restaurant in London.

It was my birthday yesterday and I had high expectations of the lovely dinner and entertainment we were going to have with my 2 best friends from Paris. As a start, we were on a back table and only saw the actors' back but the worst was More

Over-priced, over-rated and very basic food.





There are much better places in london to go than this place, don't waste your money on terrible food and terrible service at this place. We were very disappointed.

What a treat - fantastic food, cheeky entertainment and lovely, professional service. It's not cheap, but you'll have a fantastic time.

Very Posh Restaurant, live music nice interior amazing and authentic food, very pricey but it's in a prime location of Mayfair

It was a beautiful experience. Book a table ! The food is great ! The performances are even better !! They get cooler as the night progresses.
Over all I had a lovely evening!

Fantastic place. we booked a party for 5 people downstairs. The decor is amazing. The entertainment was brilliant. The food was out of this world. It is a very expensive place to go, but worth a visit to celebrate a very special occasion. Drinks aint cheap, but that is expected in a place like this.

We had a grate time.
Definitely come also for the show, so after 20. Sit downstairs. Show starts at 20:30.
Come with a few ppl so you can share dishes. Prices are high, but worth it. Service is top informed and on you.
Reservation needed.

Could not fault our evening in anyway. Great service, entertainment and amazing food.

I had a reservation for dinner on Saturday night for my birthday. Good looking restaurant, above average food but the service was an absolute disgrace. Rude and inattentive waiters made us feel most unwelcome from the moment we arrived. They took away our plates before we had finished which is the biggest service faux pas there is. Not good enough for a so called top restaurant.

We had been looking forward to our visit to Park Chinois for a while considering that we have visited similar restaurants in London.

The food was good and in line with our expectations.

However, we were not pleased with the repeated presence of strands of hair in our food - which ruined the overall experience. Management were apologetic after the second instance, however the overall experience was severely tarnished.

The third time was just laughable - and we thought we were being pranked...

This is not what we expect from a restaurant of this calibre, very disappointing.

Very cosy place, amazing service. I was just having drinks, u can also eat there. Seems very nice place.

Expensive but delicious food, great ambience, top notch service and live music!

No idea how many times I have already visited Park Chinois. Old Shanghai style decor likes time machine, it brings you back to 1930s.
Undoubtedly, they are serving the best dim sum and Peaking duck in London.
And I really like their meat and vegetables dishes. I believed that they are using the best quality ingredients.Fusion Chinese cuisine is quite difficult to handle it but Park Chinois balance it well. Only thing I am worrying is there are too many choices and limited stomach space, easily to get lost in the menu. And their night entertaining performance is fantastic. If I am earning more, I do love to visit Park Chinois always.

Amazing decor and great staff but food was below average, prices were high. Definitely will not be going back

I love it when restaurants keep their toilets clean.

Their toilets room was gorgeous and clean.



I really liked Peking duck as well but I'll order more dim sum and different types of dishes next time.

The best black cod I ever had! Food is one of a kind

Visited this place with colleagues. The food was actually very good, none of the dishes were average all good or very good. The iberico pork ribs, wasabi prawns, signature duck (whilst a available on the night you should pre book) and dim sum are very good choices.

We were disappointed in the wines, expected them to be at a better temperature they rectified our issue with new bottle which was good however we had to really push for some action.

I think this place has an amazing fusion of high end Chinese and French culture. On a good day, if you choose from the more expensive dishes from the menu and live the high life with the excellent wines and champagne from the menu, this can impress your guest or clients. On the less lavish occasion though, choosing from the weaker dishes on the menu, I have occasionally been left disappointed with the food. The place is expensive but my advice is to enjoy the full experience rather than save a few pounds on the dishes.

Be aware of the upstairs and downstairs seating situation! Most horrible hospitality service! Rudeness is the motto here. Food unfortunately is good.

We went here for a post-lockdown and had a great time. The food and service is top notch while the music and entertainment was one of the best we've experienced - a great day out in all and a fantastic way to spend a Saturday.

Had the same main course as a year ago (beef short ribs). The plate was a third of the size it used to be, taste not at all comparable to how it was before. This made me wonder if it was even the dish that I ordered as the waiter who took our order was extremely unfamiliar with the menu. Then the waiting time between the starters and main course was extremely long. Will not go back unless improved.

One of my favorite restaurants in London.
Great atmosphere, great staff and great food!
Been there countless time and will keep on going!
Must order the wasabi prawns!!!

Great atmosphere with a different, yet intriguing menu!

I had a very bad experience tonight at Park Chinois. My booking was made 3 weeks ago over the phone and I specifically mentioned twice I wanted to book the CNY special set menu for two. The girl on the phone happily accepted my reservation without informing me it was only available for groups of four or above. So when I turned up tonight, I found out the menu wasn t available and so was the suckling pig dish. What s the point? I booked for this! As a result, I had to walk out your restaurant and rebook it for a different evening and pre-ordered for the suckling pig dish for the coming booking. Thank you Park Chinois, you have ruined my night and my first day of CNY. Not that matter too much but I just had an unpleasant cold night!

We have welcomed very warmly and shown a table just right next to the restrooms. We sat down for a while but we didn't enjoy it. My friend went back to the host asked for another table. They gave us one of the best tables right in-front of the live jazz band. The staff was very professional. This is how a restaurant should serve. Cocktails were very good and I had the best roasted duck. I can't wait to be back!

Wonderful decor, lots of ambience.

I would say a cosy, almost romantic setting.

Lovely lounge music being played live, which makes it even more relaxing.

Food all delicious! Recommend wasabi prawns, they were soooo good.

5*

A new restaurant and amazing one. Very beautiful inside and very luxury. The food is delicious and the club after 12pm is beautiful. One of the best.

Excellent quality dim sum. Probably the best in London.

Food was only average for the price you have to pay. You can get much better food in Chinatown or Bayswater. Ambience fine but a little too loud to have a decent conversation.

I don't give many ratings. But wow. This place is exceptional. The music the food. The bar technicians -wow

Over the top Deco! High quality Chinese food with quartet performance. Strange mix but somehow works.

The staff is excellent and their recommendations are at par with your preference.flexible to create dishes for you.ambience is old school and the crowd is glamorous!!cant go wrong going there for a fab time

Fantastic Brunch,
Had a wonderful brunch here on Saturday, food was amazing and the service was very attentive. At the price I thought it was well worth the experience.

Beautiful place, delicious food, nice staff and live music. However the crowd the restaurant attracts can be quite pretentious.
