Best Chinese Restaurants in London (2026): The 5 We Recommend
Our concierge shortlist of the five Chinese restaurants in London we recommend most for 2026, from Mayfair supper clubs to two-Michelin-star rooms.
Chinese dining in London runs from Mayfair supper clubs to two-Michelin-star tasting rooms, and for 2026 we have narrowed our list to the five we recommend most often. These are the rooms we return to for Peking duck, dim sum, and a proper night out, chosen for cooking, setting, and the kind of service that carries an evening. Every pick below links to its full page, where you can tap through to reserve your own table on the venue's platform. Consider this our working shortlist, in the order we rank them.
A. Wong
A. Wong is Andrew Wong's modern Chinese restaurant on Wilton Road in Victoria, and the only Chinese kitchen outside Asia to hold two Michelin stars. The dining room is intimate by design: bright and airy with large windows and light interiors, an open kitchen set front and center where Wong works the pass, and a handful of counter seats for guests who want to watch the cooking. It is a modern-Chinese benchmark and one of our surest bookings in the city.
China Tang at the Dorchester
China Tang occupies a subterranean dining room beneath the Dorchester Hotel at 53 Park Lane, and opened in 2005 under the late Sir David Tang. The room channels 1930s Shanghai glamour through art deco interiors: crimson leather banquettes, ornate chinoiserie screens, and flickering lanterns. It is one of our first calls for Cantonese dim sum in London.
Ivy Asia
Ivy Asia is a pan-Asian restaurant that behaves more like an occasion, set on an upper floor of One New Change at 20 New Change with floor-to-ceiling windows framing the dome of St Paul's Cathedral. It is the original and most theatrical of the Ivy Asia locations that have since opened around London and beyond, marked by a pink onyx floor and a pagoda-style mirrored bar. Expect glowing jade floors, St Paul's views, and pure theater.
Imperial Treasure
Imperial Treasure is a fine Cantonese restaurant occupying a former bank building at 9 Waterloo Place in St James's. The 140-seat room blends English heritage with Chinese and French design: white leather, onyx walls, and wood partitions. It is our pick when the occasion calls for serious Cantonese cooking in a grand setting.
MiMi Mei Fair
MiMi Mei Fair is the glamorous Chinese restaurant set inside a Georgian townhouse on Curzon Street in Mayfair and imagined as the opulent residence of a fictional Empress MiMi. A Michelin Guide listing, it is one of London's most theatrical dining rooms: a maximalist fantasy of hand-painted chinoiserie, coral-lacquered doors, and dragon motifs. Book it when the room is meant to be part of the show.
