This I think is how chinese food should be made. Simple looking but impeccable flavours. I’d come back very often. Very reasonable prices and accommodating service from the team. We ordered the Prawn Curry and Braised Pork. The taste of the curry is authentic and not too overpowering. The pork is so soft I did not even have to chew. Well sone!

This restaurant is very famous in the area. My friend took me there for the first time. However, I was a bit disappointed about the quality of food. The price of dim sum is comparable to Central London’s restaurants. The portion of the chicken feet was very small and they were shredded poorly. I bet there were less than 2 whole feet if I put the pieces together. The pork belly dish was too salty. Wok fried dishes were comparatively better. I would prefer the frozen dim sum from Iceland or Costco…

We ordered fire rice, crispy noodles, and the roasted duck with steam rice. The food is very great and having excellent 「鑊氣」！The most Unforgettable is the Hong Kong-style mike tea. This is totally authentic....having the taste of the 🍵 The location of the restaurant of is good. You could easily find a parking at a public parking behind the restaurant. Another option, you could park at John Lewis which is about 10 mins walk. Also, you could visit the High Street nearby and walk along the river path at Kingston.

We’re regular customers for about two years but our last visit will unfortunately be our last. The service was terrible - my friend came first while the rest of us were looking for a spot to park. The male manager rudely asked him to stand at the door until every one arrived. The manager then rushed us to order when we’re clearly not ready. Food used to be very good, and we always came for the char siu. This time it’s almost tasteless and very fatty. I asked for hot lemon water cos I can’t drink caffeine. They refused to serve that even tho they have hot lemon tea on the menu and I was willing to pay the same price. There used to be a different manager who’s very nice and welcoming. Heard she resigned which is a shame. Very very disappointed.

About ten minutes walk from Kingston Station. Great location , quite near the river if you fancy a walk before your meal. Not very spacious but well maintained. Could do with a well trained staff - They get quite stressed when asked if they can explain the menu items - we wanted the Chinese New Year menu explained , shame that they couldn't explain what went on the steamed fish and other items on their 'festive offer menu' Overall, dimsum items were average. Duck with pancakes came with the duck so diced up that we were wrapping mushy duck meat in our pancakes. Some items were priced at the high end. Took my aunt there again two weeks later, tried other items, but we were again disappointed. Not Chinese fine dining in my opinion.

A Hidden gem ! So happy to discover this Cantonese restaurant in Kingston The food is delicious and price is not bad too

We were exploring the area and wanted dinner somewhere. I’m going to have to say there is nothing bad about the service, environment and pricing but the food. Although food is edible, I wouldn’t say it is the freshest. We ordered two types of dumplings, duck wrap and fried rice. The dumplings were good but assuming that they had been frozen for some time. The fried rice was a little tasteless and had to add a sauce that came with the duck wrap. Most importantly the duck wrap - the meat was dry I think it was prepared some time ago. Also, the cucumbers and spring onions as sides were dry as well, like they prepared a few hours ago and left in a fridge without a cover. The pancakes were sticking to each other that made it difficult to separate ( I think it was also frozen and they steamed the layers of them as it is) I think it is not a high standard in terms of food, but the waiters were nice and the service was quick. So I appreciate that. But unfortunately, the food isn’t what makes me want to come back to this place again.

Taste is good. But the portion size of the mixed seafood crispy noodle is insulting. You pay £13.50 and you get a measly little portion. But as I mentioned the taste is good. Other dishes are fine.

If you know what is wok hay and here it is. We ordered Fried Beef Ho Fun, Caviar King Prawn Fried Rice, Salt & Pepper Pork Trotter, Sweet & Sour Pork, Iced milk tea and lemon tea. They are delicious. I love it very much and I will go again!

Ordered a dumpling and duck noodle, two drinks. A cozy restaurant with nice staff. The food is okay. Worth to spend sometime here near Kingston town centre.

Great experience at Yimchai. The first visit and food was pretty good, I have to say. The wing's definitely recommend 👌🏾

We dined here and we had to ask for water at least 4 times. The food was delicious, however we did find part of a stainless steel scourer in our noodles - but we told the staff and they made a new dish.

The place is not very spacious and the service attitude is not overly enthusiastic, but it is just right. The quality of the food is very high, and the price is considered cheap. It is not a typical Chinese-style dim sum place. You can go there and have an afternoon tea.

Delicious food!!! One of best the restaurants in Kingston would definitely recommend !

Are you looking for a restaurant where Laksa is delicious? Then this is it! I ate laksa for the first time in UK and it tasted 100% satisfying. The food came out very quickly and the amount was enough. The shrimp in the fried rice was also very big and seasoned. But I want you to go before 9 pm. The staff wanted us to eat quickly and leave, and the attitude was a little disappointing. But I think I will visit this place again because I can't forget the taste of laksa.

It is a typical Cha Chaan Tan restaurant. Ordered a roast duck rice and fried water spinach with chili bean curd sauce (椒絲腐乳通菜。Only 5 pieces of duck meat were on the plate, however, cold and no taste. The fried vegetable was quite hot and well prepared. I believe their menu for frying is good. It is to note that their dishes portion is relatively small. The cloth cover of my chair is full of marks of dirt and stain.

Desparate for cantonese cha chan teng after we moved south…. Found this gem in kingston! Walked in, playing jay chau music, smell the stir fry in the air, we know this is the right place :) beef fried hor fun, sing vermicelle, e-fu noodles….iced lemon tea! Thankyou for satisfying my hk food crave. We will come back for sure!

I visited this restaurant with my family recently. The staff were very welcoming even though they were taking last orders. The food was absolutely delicious, so fresh and full of flavour. The food was all hot when it came as well. The sweet and sour prawns, sesame toast, beef with ginger and spring onion, pepper prawns and stir fry noodles were all yummy, I could not fault anything to be honest! Thank you very much, I will definitely be returning and have already recommended to my friends.

Absolutely top notch Cantonese classics served generously and beautifully prepared. Prices are keen (£10.50 for a lovey big plate of roast duck on crispy noodles) and servers smiley and efficient. Easily recommended.

Good food except BBq pork. Waiter black face no smile

I have just been here with my two friends, and while the restaurant itself is perfectly lovely, the food is acceptable- be warned of hidden prices... for a few (small, then one main meal) things off the menu, 2 bubble teas and ONE pot of tea, cost £48... I ordered one pot of tea (£5.40) then asked for 2 extra cups (no extra tea, just the cups!) so we could share the one pot, we were told by a waitress it would cost a little more- which I said was fine... It cost £10.80 extra! For 2 extra cups, so we could share the pot! We were not told this price until the bill arrived. Long story short, it was a crazy amount for so little, and one pot of tea cost us almost £17! *Edit* I called the restaurant to contest the bill after I'd had to leave early, and was told by the manager that we had accepted the price already... we had not been told it would be THAT much extra! Please be more upfront about how expensive it is to simply share one pot of tea between friends.

Really friendly and helpful staff, absolutely perfect food. Authentic Chinese dishes which were a delight to eat qnd absolutely delicious with great reccomendations from the staff as to what we would like with genuinely honest service. 100% would go again.

After having a long and stressful (as well as foodless) day, me and my friend were looking forward to going to a restaurant and indulging. We were absolutely starving when we ordered our food, including a whole roast duck. Which we agreed that if we would not finish, that we would split it and take it home. All the side dishes we ordered were great, but we were really waiting for the main dish. When the duck came out, we were drooling. We ate 1-2 pieces each when we started questioning whether the food should be stone cold. With the London temperature being 1 degrees outside, we were looking forward to roasting hot duck. We asked the waiter to heat up the duck, and she said it was already room temperature (which it was not), she explained that the more they cook it, the skin and meat with dry up? Anyway she took the dish and came back, not 5 mins later, when my friend and I started eating it, it still wasn’t hot, let alone room temperature. My friend then discovered that some pieces were pinky red, which we found extremely off putting, we then questioned the manager once more, and she paused and looked at the duck for a long time and apprehensively agreed. So once again, she took the duck to have it cooked some more. It came out again, not 5 mins later, and to be honest, at this point, we were starting to lose our hunger. Once more we tucked in, a lot less excited than the beginning, and after consuming 2-3 more pieces, I was getting a strong metallic taste in my mouth (blood), and I just stopped eating, my friend also ate a piece and she got the exact same. At that moment, we asked for the manager to bring the bill and we explained that we couldn’t eat it because of this reason. Her response to us was that we were too enthusiastic about how much we ordered an that we wouldn’t have been able to finish in the first place and that we shouldn’t have ordered too much, also telling us it’s the bestselling item on the menu and then sell ducks left right and centre all day every day. How can you question a customer on how much they are ordering! When it came to paying, I asked for some money off as we literally didn’t even touch a quarter of the duck and it even went back twice, her response was that they don’t have service charge (which I would never have paid in the first place if they did) and she’ll take only 10% off. Absolutely ridiculous, don’t blame yourself, blame the customer for raw duck that costs £38. Never coming back again, poor service.
