China Tang at the Dorchester · Restaurant · London
Art deco Cantonese dining beneath the Dorchester on Park Lane
China Tang occupies a subterranean dining room beneath the Dorchester Hotel on Park Lane, opened in 2005 under the vision of the late Sir David Tang, founder of the China Clubs and Shanghai Tang. The room channels 1930s Shanghai glamour through art deco interiors - crimson leather banquettes, ornate chinoiserie screens, and flickering lanterns making an intimate, opulent room accented by objets d'art and Chinese paintings.
The main dining room flows into The Bar, a 1930s-styled space that serves Cantonese afternoon tea and dim sum all day alongside live music and classic cocktails. The atmosphere suits discreet business meals, intimate dinners and group celebrations alike.
The kitchen cooks authentic Cantonese food, with vegetarian and halal options throughout. Signature dishes include the Lobster Noodles and the Golden Prawns with Salted Egg Yolk, alongside mains such as Ma Po Tofu, Char Siu and Yu Xiang Aubergine, plus a dim sum menu served all day and night in the dining room, private rooms and bar.
Service runs daily, with lunch from noon to 5:00 PM and dinner from 6:00 PM to 11:00 PM (last orders 10:30 PM), the bar carrying on until midnight. The dress code is smart casual: no active sportswear, singlets, gym trainers or flip-flops, though smart jeans are allowed and tailored shorts are fine for lunch service only.
