Where to Eat in London’s Chinatown

"One of the few restaurants which has benefited from the recent Chinatown development, moving from Charing Cross Road to Gerrard Street’s main drag has propelled Food House into cult status among young Chinese students who take respite from Dover Street Market in red oil noodles. The menu is shared between Sichuan — dry hotpots and whole fish cooked in chilli oil — and heartier central Chinese fare of belt noodles, rou jia mo flatbreads with meat, and skewers. Make sure to bring people: this is one of the few places where dumplings can be ordered by the 30." - Jonathan Nunn

"Now on Gerrard Street, this student favourite has plenty of space for post-theatre groups and portions of 30 toothsome pork dumplings for less than £20. Sichuan cuisine is well represented with red oil noodles, crisp-fried chilli seabass (scored so it blossoms during cooking) and hotpots, while the Northern Chinese section of the menu is full of belt noodles, lamb and skewers." - Emma Hughes

"The place to be to watch all of London’s hypebeasts trying not to splash scarlet chilli oil all over their Vetements purchased 10 minutes ago at Dover Street Market. Food House mainly specialises in northern and central Chinese fare and has a diverse selection of noodles, the best of which is the red oil version with lamb or beef, which can be stirred in at the table adding a kick of chilli to an oily, umami-rich broth." - Jonathan Nunn

This hot pot restaurant is amazing! I saw it on social media and came with my friends! The price is incredibly reasonable! Plus, they have BBQ too, double the fun! The beef rolls were incredibly tender and melted in your mouth, with a perfect balance of lean and fat. My friends all said they were so delicious, one bite at a time! They also have a wide variety of seafood. We had mussels and prawns. Even though it's all-you-can-eat, the portions are huge. It looked like we each had five or six prawns in one serving, and I could even see the prawn roe before they were fully cooked! Super fresh, bursting with juice when you bite into the prawn head! Their handmade noodles are also authentic, only need to cook for a few minutes, and they're perfect with the tomato broth! The fresh tofu is a must-order! It's so expensive in Chinese supermarkets, but here we got our money's worth!! For BBQ, we ordered lamb skewers and chicken feet! Two skewers per skewer, full of collagen, and the slightly spicy flavor was super delicious!

Halal certified Chinese restaurant in China Town. Food was amazing. Quality of noodles, 🍜 sauces , lamb 🐑, chicken 🍗 was outstanding. We thoroughly enjoyed the food and service. Serving staff were incredible. During peak hours we might need to wait to be seated but they have placed some chairs in the corridor for that. They also serve hotpot which will be our next feast. IA

Went here on Lantern Festival and it honestly felt like celebrating New Year back home. The traditional Beijing copper hot pot was the highlight — the charcoal fire, the bubbling broth, and the freshly sliced lamb were all spot on. The lamb was tender with no strong smell, and tasted amazing with sesame sauce.

Real Beijing Food House is one of the best places for authentic Beijing-style copper hotpot in London Chinatown. The charcoal-fired copper pot instantly warms you up, and the sliced lamb is fresh, tender, and not gamey at all—perfect with sesame sauce. We chose the hotpot buffet (£32.8 pp), which had everything we wanted, and the BBQ being half price was a great bonus. Rich broth, generous portions, lively atmosphere—especially comforting in winter. Definitely a go-to spot for hotpot lovers craving real Northern Chinese flavors👍

Old Beijing Copper Hot Pot + BBQ for £30.6 (for two) — crazy good value! So many choices and everything tastes great. BBQ items are flavourful and well-seasoned, and the copper hot pot comes with a wide variety of meats, seafood, and fresh vegetables you can keep refilling. For this price in London? High value, lots to eat, and genuinely delicious.

Absolutely love this place! The flavours are incredibly authentic — truly tastes like home. Fresh meat, lots of choices, and that real Beijing-style hotpot taste make it such a unique spot in London. A comforting, nostalgic meal every time. Highly recommend!

There are many kinds of hot pot to choose from, and the flavors are authentic. The barbecue is especially delicious, especially the grilled beef skewers. The service is particularly good.

Great value hotpot buffet in central London, right in Chinatown and very easy to find. Around £30+ all-you-can-eat with fresh ingredients and a good selection. Service was very friendly and attentive. Definitely worth it for the price, highly recommend.
