    Authentic Cantonese cuisine at reasonable prices- highly recommend this restaurant if you are craving some Cantonese cuisine - the service is excellent, the food is tasty and we cannot fault the decor and setting of the restaurant. We got the fujian fried rice - it’s delicious!! 🍚🍚🍚

    Excellent! Clean, spacious and extensive menu. Waiters and waitresses were very very attentive. Always checking on us every five minutes. Food was served pretty quick and tasty. Thumbs up to all working there as we enjoyed ourselves very much. Sufficient carpark behind the restaurant. Well done!!

    Wow! Didn't have to travel far for delicious Chinese food. We ordered the banquet with lobster 🤤 everything came in massive servings and we thoroughly enjoyed every dish as they came out fresh and piping hot. Service from the owner was hilarious, he's such a character. Will go back to try the other dishes, including their duck.

    Everything we ordered was good. Highlights were the egg plant chips and walnut buns. We pre ordered the melon dish, pipa duck and pumpkin fried rice. A good variety on the menu and reasonable prices. Hidden gem in Kew. We liked that we were not rushed as there isn't a 2nd seating and there was complimentary dessert which was a nice touch as not many places do it these days. Will be back to try other dishes.

    Visited NYE 2021 for dinner. Now normally on these occasions, the wait staff and kitchen are all dying to get home and you can sense the lack of care and the general feel like they're trying to shove you out the door. But not here. Nope. Amazing attention to detail and service from all wait staff and the kitchen put out absolutely top notch food. According to family who had been previously, it's of the same standard as always which speaks volumes for the chefs and management. Food was AMAZING. cannot recommend it enough. Ordered 9 dishes. Every single dish was on point and perfect. I'm definitely coming back.

    Amazing food, quality of ingredients and service! Every week we order something different and it’s always another fantastic set of dishes. Really good authentic style food like I had living in Beijing 🤩

    Good old delicious cantonese cooking. Can be a bit on the busy during peak hours so so make sure you have plenty of time to relax and enjoy the food.

    Really wonderful and authentic Chinese and Cantonese cuisine and dishes. The place is in a great location in Kew and can get very busy on weeknights, so if you are in a group of more than 2 people, I would recommend booking. The staff are nice, friendly and helpful, so if you are stuck with selecting from a wide variety of meals from the menu, they can help you select traditional Chinese or Cantonese meals. The service is timely and really well organised. If you are alone or with a friend/partner, you can easily find a table and the service will be reasonable and in a nice, timely manner. The atmosphere and layout of the restaurant is Chinese style and there is plenty of seating available. The food is absolutely delicious and mouthwatering. Prices are reasonable and moderate, but if you are going for live seafood, then expect to pay more as these are at market prices. However, their seafood is wonderful as they cook it in their own style. There are other seafood varieties on the menu, like crocodile stir fry, which tastes amazing. They have fish, prawn and calamari options also. The Peking Duck is a must try and absolutely delicious. Of course, you can’t go wrong with their beef, chicken or pork varieties. If you are vegetarian, they have vegetarian options as well and you will be filled and satisfied. I would heartily recommend a visit to this restaurant.

    I think the owner is very clever that names their restaurant “nihao”, so the whole world knows what cuisine they do! Lol. The restaurant was recommended by couple of friends for a reason. Food was nice and hot, mild modified to what western world favors while very well keeps the authenticity of classic Cantonese food. Staff was attentive and location is perfect as well. They have parking at the back.

    Finally got to revisit this ever popular restaurant which is booked out most of the time, especially during festive or public holidays! My daughter still favour their crunchy Westlake duck! Cooked to perfection !! The other dishes are tastefully cooked and well presented too! They do charge tea and take away containers. Some of my other favourite restaurants do not.

    We ordered steamed fish, crispy duck, etc, they all taste very well. The service is very good, got free dessert and fruits after the meal. Will come back, highly recommend.

    Worth a go Chinese dishes. Wasabi or mustard beef goes perfectly with rice. All else typical delicious. A Kew gem.

    My wife and I had a lovely early dinner at Nihao last weekend. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and great assistance in choosing from their extensive menu. We started with 4 pieces of Peking duck, salt and pepper quail and some delicious sticky steamed pork dumplings (watch out! They’re hot inside!) and followed with the sweet and sour pork ribs and the most delicious fried rice. A bustling atmosphere with lots of happy fingers at the other large tables rounded out a very enjoyable evening. We look forward to coming again to try the Pipa Duck! Xiexie!!

    My mob has been regular a customer at Ni Hal over the past two years, usually for largish (expensive) family celebrations. Sadly, for our past two visits we have noticed a decline in the friendliness and competence of the customer service. Worse still, some of our favourite dishes have disappeared off the menu and the quality of the food served has declined.
