"Maxim is well worth the trip west to Ealing, especially for the authentic old-school Pekingese dishes that aren’t found anywhere else in central London. Gather a big group of hungry friends, make the journey and dig into a hefty menu spanning over hundred items. The classics, such as duck, lobster, rice and noodles, are all here, but the standout dishes are fried king prawns with egg whites and signature barbecue ribs. And look out for a glimpse of 92-year-old Mrs. Chow pottering about — she’s been running the joint since the 1970s." - Angela Hui, Jonathan Nunn, James Hansen
