YOU MUST CALL THE RESTAURANT AND RESERVE THE DUCK AHEAD OF
YOU MUST CALL THE RESTAURANT AND RESERVE THE DUCK AHEAD OF TIME. Or sorry, no Peking duck for you! This was the first words out of our smiling waiter as we put in our order. Having made our reservations a month ago from the US via Open Table and reading nothing about the order ahead requirement, we were dismayed enough to cancel our dinner and walk out. Seeing our disappointment, our waiter went away, came back, and told us a duck had been found. Found? Hmmm...we wondered where the spare duck came from, but never mind, we ordered it along with several other dishes. The duck came in three parts - neck fat, sliced duck, and a choice of preparations for the leftover bits. We chose cubed duck in lettuce cups. The fatty and succulent duck was the highlight of our dinner and the accompanying condiments and the thin but sturdy pancakes worked perfectly in harmony. The spare bits of duck in tiny lettuce canapés had a strange bitter flavor and were not successful. The medley of vegetarian dim sum was delicate and pleasing. The other dishes were either on the bland side or overly salty. We agreed that without the Peking duck, our long-anticipated dinner would have fizzled. So please remember: CALL THE RESTAURANT AND RESERVE THE DUCK AHEAD OF TIME.
Be the first to ReplyGreat food.
Great view. Decent prices. Very good service. We had a party of 8, including a 2 and 4 yr old. Very accommodating.
Be the first to ReplyThe food is just as decent as the service.
I sat in the bar area on two different occasions and the service was the same. I had to flag down someone to bring more food or drinks. This restaurant is just ok but not great. Unfortunately, I had to change my initial rating and subtract a star from my original review. After receiving my food I sat in the bar area for 30 minutes and I have not been attended to by anyone. It's really disappointing.
Be the first to ReplyGreat View.
But we were hungry and were there to eat, not to sightsee.The damage for the four of us were 220 pounds for a dim sum luncheon, and scarred for life.Service was good, but oh my gosh, none of the dishes were made for people who frequent Chinese restaurant. To give you a perspective, the quality is somewhere between frozen dinner and Panda Express.If you look at the name of the dished, you would think this is a Cantonese style restaurant, and you are in for a surprise. The dim sum were so bad my son was comparing them to dim sum we'd purchased from a subway station in Hong Kong. I honestly think the chef has never tasted real Cantonese cooking before.Our simple veggie stirred fry tasted like drunken chicken ( a local favorite in the Shanghai area ), but why add so much cooking wine in a supposed to be health and simple dish??? Even the soup were loaded with cooking wine. The Beijing Roast Duck tasted like it was cooked in Beijing 3 months ago, then defrosted in London. They charged almost 14 pounds for 1 tea bag for two people, really? If you want to punish yourself, this is a great place for that.

Quite pricey but the view is amazing The beef ho phon noodles and the prawn dumplings were very tasty. The chili caprianhana was also very good with perfect level of spice.

I had dinner here a few weeks ago and the experience was phenomenal.Food: I requested the half duck in the notes of our reservation ahead of time, as recommended by the restaurant's site. They told us upon arrival that the note had been received and the duck was already on our order. In addition, we ordered the steamed tofu, midnight lotus and litchitini cocktails and mango sago dessert. I would highly recommend the duck, midnight lotus, and the steamed tofu. The duck was juicy and well cooked, with crispy skin for extra enjoyment on the side. Their house hoisin sauce paired well with the meat - I was sad when we ran out! The duck also comes with an additional dish for the extra bits and pieces. We went with the fried noodles, per our servers recommendation. The steamed tofu served as a light and refreshing dish after the duck.Service: the service was polite and courteous. Our server came to check on us multiple times and gave great recommendations throughout the meal.Overall: I only regret coming here after dark. Since Min Jiang is at the top of a hotel, I can only imagine that the daylight view overlooking Kensington Gardens is incredible. Would recommend to anyone looking for good Chinese food in London!
Be the first to ReplyI've had the pleasure of dining at Min Jiang three times
I've had the pleasure of dining at Min Jiang three times and enjoyed each and every visit, enough so that my colleagues and I would make our next reservation a month before our trip and easily looked forward to it being the pinnacle of that trip. The experience starts the moment the elevator doors open and you get that first waft of the cuisine you're about to enjoy. You enter into a tremendously clean restaurant that is well-designed (albeit quite loud during peak hours due to the acoustics), tastefully chic, and offers a view you canNOT beat; it significantly elevates an already wonderful overall experience.I cannot attest to whether tables are always available at the time of the reservation because our party was always 30+ minutes late due to our event inevitably running long. However, that allows me to applaud and give a standing ovation to Min Jiang for graciously accommodating us each and every time, always holding our table (even during peak hours), and never refusing us to be sat late, even when it meant staff would need to stay later than usual. The food and drinks are superb and the menu wonderfully crafted, offering a variety of items I've rarely seen elsewhere or had executed as well. While I've never ordered the same thing twice and never had one item I did not enjoy, their Beijing Duck is truly the star of the menu. I cannot recommend enough planning ahead to request this as part of your Min Jiang experience (this may have changed, but it used to be a "must order in advance" item).The wait and kitchen staff are well-trained and very respectful, providing a nearly seamless dining experience. That said, considering the level of dining and price point, I was surprised to have twice had items forgotten long enough to warrant cancelling them (one beverage and one add-on food item; two different visits). I was also a bit surprised to have a very mechanic and cold presentation of our Beijing Duck rather than a chef offering enthusiastic energy to add to our excitement. However, the missed items were handled well and the happenstance a clear rarity, and all other chefs presenting this popular signature dish to neighboring tables were on the level. So surely not a deal breaker in either case.All said, easily a 4.5-star experience and top area recommendation.
Be the first to ReplyGood - The peking duck was delicious.
The cocktail list was fun with lots of good choices. We also had the suckling pig which was also very good. We were seated at a window table and the Christmas lights over london were very pretty.Not so good - Toward the end of our meal, we realized that we hadn't seen our server. We waited. Other servers cleared our table. We waited. Finally, we asked to see our server, and someone came up five minutes later and told us that he had gone home. It took a while for them to find our check...we should have just left. We thought that was rather rude but typical of an establishment where there is a service charge regardless of the service received.
Be the first to ReplyWe really enjoyed our dinner and drinks.
We were a table of 6 and chose one each of starter and main to split which was more than enough. Would love to come back in summer to enjoy the view of the park, but London by night was a nice backdrop as well.
Be the first to ReplyI actually came to this place because I have heard good
I actually came to this place because I have heard good reviews on the Peking duck and that they are authentic. Yes the experience having a Peking duck was authentic like what you get in China like the famous Datong. However, the duck itself was not as good as the value I was paying for. Some parts of the duck was dry and not as juicy. For the price I pay, I want my duck to be as juicy as the duck in Four Seasons. It was the same as the other Chinese dishes. Sub standard and nothing spectacular for high price. The worst thing was the wait staff. For the price I pay, I want professional and helpful staff. The staff there acted as if they are not happy working there. Not even a smile. Also they kept rolling their eyes when they are not happy with anything. I have seen them servicing a table and when they turn back, they just sighed and rolled their eyes. Incredibly black face. The only thing you really pay for here actually the view. Incredible view. Unfortunately, I will not be back. It is a one off experience. I rather go to Four Seasons if I have unhappy wait staff. At least their duck is cheap and juicy!
Be the first to ReplyWe were scheduled to visit Kensington Palace and this is
We were scheduled to visit Kensington Palace and this is located very close by. Ordered the Peking Duck, which needs to be done in advance and supplemented with other dishes. Service was really good and the food was good. It was pricey but you only live once.
Be the first to ReplyFood 4 stars.
The view 5 stars it s right behind of Beckham Palace. The service is 4 stars, right on the spot. Gongpao chicken is the best (5 stars).Almost authentic (lol) the spicy peppers, sweetness and saltiness are well balanced. Beijing roasted duck (3 stars). It would be perfect if it s crispier. But it is the best you can find in London. The pancakes are very fresh n soft which contributes to a great flavor to the whole dish. Sesame ribs are juicy n tender (4 stars). We literally ordered every dish on the menu. All decent if you know how hard to find Chinese food in London.
Be the first to ReplyI'm giving it 4 stars for the view and service; went here
I'm giving it 4 stars for the view and service; went here with my wife when we visited London (since I'm from Canada and live in the US part time). We've had Peking Duck in Vancouver, New York, Los Angeles, and in Las Vegas. The Peking Duck was good but does not hold a candle to what I consider the best duck outside of Hong Kong - Blossom at the Aria Hotel in Las Vegas (no I'm NOT an MGM employee). The sea bass roasted in soya paste is excellent but equivalent to what you see in Japanese restaurants (higher end ones). The prices are steep but that goes with the ambience. Have been eating standard roast duck in Chinatown (Soho) London and it's not significantly superior to that. However, it's still a great place to go if you can afford it. Looking for great value for the money - this is NOT the place, but if you want a high end Chinese dinner in London and you can afford it, this fits the bill nicely.
Be the first to ReplyLet's get straight to the point.
People come here for two reasons. The duck and the view.The view is great. I won't contest that but the duck... well the duck has a lot of space for improvement. The deal in China is this. Beijing duck is mostly served in restaurants specialising in duck. It can be ordered in various ways, the most popular and expensive of which involves serving up the skin from the duck's breast on a separate place and then serving the rest skin and meat together. This is done by a specially trained chef who delivers the duck on a cart and serves it up right in front of the table. The diner can choose between having the chef return the bones to the kitchen to be served as a fried dish or a soup. The cheaper option is having the duck served up without the separate crispy skin or the choice of soup or fried dish. This is the only option available at Min Jiang and there's a good reason for it. The duck served here simply wouldn't be able to survive the rigours of being served in the traditional way. The skin cannot be separated properly from the meat so it has to be served all together. For the average diner this shouldn't be a problem but because I've always eaten it the traditional way, I find having to pay such a high price (£60) for roast duck that is served skin and meat together to be a little disappointing. This is not to say that the duck is bad. Just that if you know what real Beijing duck tastes like and you were hoping to have some at Min Jiang, you will be a little disappointed. Come here for the duck (if you've heeded my warning) but not for the rest of the menu which is average and on the expensive side.

New to London, local friends invited us to this 10th floor spot with a breathtaking view. We weren't seated next to the window but could still see the twinkling lights from our table and the crest of the London Eye. We pre-ordered the duck and started w a round of espresso martinis (excellent) and Chinese beer. The dim sum sampler came next and was a modest selection of various shumai - shrimp, pork, even a pumpkin choice for fall! The tasty duck came then and it was carved tableside and served with sprigs of green and a variety of sauces to wrap in. It was heavenly and rich. The sea bass followed which was light and a nice complement to bird, as well the well seasoned bok choy. We added flat noodles to round out and were too full for dessert, regrettably. Cannot wait to come back. Service is gracious and food was truly top notch.
