Authentic Chinese Food in and near Chinatown
(See “Central London Eateries” map, here.)
The main drag of Chinatown (Gerrard Street, with the ornamental archways) is lined with touristy, interchangeable Chinese joints. But these places seem to have an edge.
Y Ming Chinese Restaurant—across Shaftesbury Avenue from the ornate gates, clatter, and dim sum of Chinatown—has dressy European decor, serious but helpful service, and authentic Northern Chinese cooking. London’s food critics consider this well worth the short walk from the heart of Chinatown for food that’s a notch above (good £12 meal deal offered 12:00-18:00, £8-12 plates, open Mon-Sat 12:00-23:45, closed Sun, turquoise corner shop at 35-36 Greek Street, tel. 020/7734-2721).
Jen Café, across the little square called Newport Place, is a humble Chinese corner eatery much loved for its homemade dumplings. It’s just stools and simple seating, with fast service, a fun, inexpensive menu, and a devoted following (£6-8 plates, daily 10:30-21:00, cash only, 4 Newport Place, tel. 020/7287-9708).
Wong Kei Chinese restaurant, at the Wardour Street (west) end of the Chinatown drag, offers a bewildering variety of dishes served by notoriously brusque waiters in a setting that feels like a hospital cafeteria. Londoners put up with the abuse to enjoy one of the satisfying BBQ rice dishes or hot pots. Individuals and couples are usually seated at communal tables, while larger parties are briskly shuffled up or down stairs (£7-12 main dishes, £10-15 fixed-price meals, cash only, Mon-Sat 12:00-23:30, Sun 12:00-22:30, 41-43 Wardour Street, tel. 020/7437-8408).
