Chinatown London

[Hillian1]

I was hoping for 1or 2 reasonable replies as I havent visited the area for some years.

Paedos, Jews and Burglars.

Think about how you've managed to shoehorn these replies recently before taking umbrage at others responses to you.

Again BG, all the time the thread is running someone just may see it that has been to Chinatown. If everyone ignored you this thread would be on the second page of the Big Board.

Very intelligent response essbee well done.

I'm joking grandad - it was irony.

 

[BensGrandad]

Grandad - go and f*** yourself

That is not irony it is rude and uncalled for but lets forget it and move on.

No rudeness was intended - I thought you were having a laugh - and up for one....
apologies my friend. i would never do that ordinarily.

Do you think maybe you should be a little more light-hearted?

[Guinness Boy]

That's my dim son you're talking about!

Yeung Cheng in Lisle street is the one me and the Mrs usually visit when I take her shopping in Chinatown.

Roast duck to die for.

 

[BensGrandad]

Thanks for that

 

[El Presidente]

1 such message is funny 2 acceptable after that it is boring.

Irony-o-meter goes off the scale.

Mixed bag in my experience.

You are right in the middle of the West End tourist trap. I generally avoid places to eat round there (Chinese or not) without a recommendation. Fortunately I do know the pubs

I've had fantastic food in China Town, but that has been downstairs or upstairs in somewhere I could never find by myself.

i've also had shocking food (raw chicken) in places I walked in.

Can't help you I'm afriad, so please follow a recommendation. Tourist trap as I said, I've had shocking burgers and all sorts in the West End.

There is an attitude there you find in all capital cities which is effectively rip them off, they won't visit again. This is why I love Spain by the way, you can find good good cheap food mostly everywhere in the cities.

The West End is the worst place to take pot luck. It's the bit of London I hate most of all and unfortunately is the place (like all visitors to cities) most people descend.

Even as a resident for 20 years, if I'm going to a show (for instance) I'll avoid trying somewhere to eat round there.

I suggest having a look on Time Out website.

Ma-Ki Di's on Horse and Dolphin Yard.

 

[Jim Van Winkle]

Why don't you try this new website called Yelp.com - it's just starting out but you might find what you need.

 

[London Irish]

Does anyone go to there without being utterly blind drunk

Most of Chinatown is a conveyor belt of tourist seeking lunch. They'll ask you to leave as soon as you've finished in many places. Unless someone on here specifically recommends a place, I'd avoid it

I mentioned The Four Seasons in Gerrard St.

I have lived in London since the 80's and this place is one of
the best in ChinaTown - its BBQ stuff is great- but you have to
book for an evening (usually v. busy).

Took the kids to Tao-Tao Ju in Lisle Street on an early bird deal the other weekend and it was perfectly good. Not the best Chinese I've ever had but certainly not even close to the worst - probably slightly better than China Gardens in Preston Street if you've ever eaten there.
