"Shikumen is one of the best restaurants in Shepherd’s Bush but unless you knew it was there, you’ll probably have walked past it dozens of times without knowing it. It’s a posh Chinese restaurant located inside the swish Dorsett Hotel, but don’t let that make you think it’s either ridiculously expensive nor pretentious. It isn’t. We’re not saying you should drop in for a cheap bowl of noodles, but considering how good the food is, it’s a price we’re more than happy paying every now and then. The roast duck is very good and you should absolutely come here for dim sum at the weekends when the room’s buzzing with people. Book a date or group dinner here with confidence." - heidi lauth beasley, david paw, rianne shlebak
