The 23 Best Chinese Restaurants In London - London - The Infatuation

"Shan Shui Social is a welcome respite in Victoria. Gorgeous ceramic tea pots line the walls at this Chinese spot from the people behind Rasa Sayang, while old-fashioned telephones line the other. Booths are taken by families getting a meet-in-the-middle dinner and solo diners who refuse to settle for a Pret before their train. There’s everything from chilli crab bao to roast duck, but the best things arrive in a bamboo steamer, like shrimp and scallop dumplings that give way without requiring the involvement of teeth, or slippery cheung fun with springy dough and tender prawns." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak, daisy meager, sinead cranna
