Zheng

We visited Zheng as an extended family of 12 people on a Friday evening. A few people in our group had a Halal requirement and we chose Zheng as it offers a Chinese menu that is fully Halal (no pork served). Certainly a USP in this part of town. It was also positive to see no menu restrictions due to our group size, although we voluntarily called ahead to pre order. We did stick mostly to Chinese but tried out a couple of their Malaysian dishes as well. Between us we ordered the prawn toast, salt & pepper squid, edamame and prawn dumplings to start, followed by the sweet & sour chicken, cereal king prawns, beef rendang, green beans, broccoli, egg fried rice and a few roti canai. The food was generally solid. My favourites included the salt & pepper squid, cereal prawns (huge) and the sweet & sour chicken. I was not a huge fan of the beef rendang but that is generally the case at most places I try it, so perhaps just a personal preference. The staff were quite friendly. We had requested a quicker paced meal and things moved along at a decent clip. The bill for our group of 6 adults and 6 kids came to £464 of which £40 was spent on drinks. A bit pricey but not excessively so. Overall a solid Chinese meal. In this area Huo would be my top pick for Chinese, while there are a few authentic Malaysian options in the Bayswater area, but Zheng is a good option that combines the two cuisines plus it certainly has appeal for Halal eaters as well. I would return.

Food was AMAZING our favourite was the Nasi Lemak, I’m on a bit of a mission to find the best version and so far this one wins hands down. We also had the duck again amazing and a winner with children. One of our party had not had crispy cereal king prawn in a long time and said this version was delicious, again also a winner with the children in the party. We also LOVED the desserts on offer and had virtually one of everything. As always my favourite was the mango pudding but it is also worth trying the Sagu Melaka which was tapioca served in the shape of a flower on cane sugar syrup. The Bubur Hitam was also really nice and not overly sweet, it was unusual as I’ve never had black rice porridge before. Special mention for the service which was super polite and friendly, the manager engaged with the children making them laugh. Atmosphere was relaxed and we all had an amazing time. Worth booking in advance as it fills up fast (not surprisingly).

I used to be a regular at Zheng, but I won’t be coming back anytime soon. For a place that markets itself as “fine dining,” the experience felt rushed and unwelcoming. Our food arrived almost immediately and the crispy beef was cold — the waiter offered to reheat it instead of replacing it. The food didn’t taste fresh, and I never received the drink I ordered. I’ve had great experiences here in the past, but sadly the quality has gone downhill. It’s now overpriced and far from the standard it once was. The only decent thing we had that day was the salt and pepper prawns. Everything else was poor.

We used to go to the Oxford one, then realised there was one in London and decided to try it. We were very pleased with the whole experience. The food was just as good (perhaps even better!). The mango chicken is always a must, and the Char Kuey Teow noodles were really good too. The staff were very friendly and attentive.

Gorgeous Halal spot in Kensington! Thoroughly enjoyed my birthday dinner with friends here ✨ Very clean and organised restaurant with lovely staff who are so friendly and helpful 🌟 Atmosphere is great and all tables looked very happy to be there too! Food was divine 🤤(We had the starter platter, a combination of mains, noodles and coconut rice). Everything had such great flavour! We also had virgin mojitos that we forgot to take photos of 🤭 10/10 Halal Chinese-Malaysian Restaurant. Definitely will be back! 💫

The food was delicious and the service was amazing as they really paid attention to us. We had halal duck pancakes which were the star of the show. The duck was crispy and delicious. A special thank you to Adam for his brilliant customer service.

Fantastic service, friendly staff, nice atmosphere and good food! Would recommend the wasabi prawns and the godmother chilli lamb. It is a bit expensive, but would come back again.

I was very disappointed with the restaurant. Service was absolutely terrible, we ordered 2 drinks which never came and we had a dish missing food was average. They even had the cheek to include service charge in final bill after we had told them our food and drinks never arrived! To top it all off , I asked for a cake for wife’s birthday, they came out with a cupcake that was STALE! Safe to say I wont be going back.

We loved a recent dinner at Zheng. Nice ambience in a great area just off of Fulham Road, very good service and excellent, tasty Malaysian cuisine. Highly recommend.

Had just landed from Delhi, India and not many places were still open by the time we checked in and washed up at the hotel... Found Zheng Chelsea within a short 5-10 min walking distance of our hotel via yelp It looked modern and upscale from pics online and a bit fusion in the style of Malaysian dishes, so we didn't expect too much, gauging from the majority of the customers being non-Asian (sorry but it's usually a pretty accurate measure when evaluating authenticity/flavors of dishes). BUT...we ended up loving every dish we ordered, and while we're far from being an expert in Southeast Asian/Malaysian cuisine, we found every dish to be tasty and perfectly cooked. The crispy beef had a nice light crisp batter but the beef inside was still tender and tasty...often times, this dish results in chewy/tough beef with way too much batter and is mushy instead of nicely crisped. Soya Sauce chicken was with all dark meat chicken (cut up thighs with bones) and we definitely always appreciate restaurants with dark meat chicken in their chicken dishes since we much much much prefer dark meat to white breast meat pieces! Even the Gai lan veggies with oyster sauce was tasty and the stems were not too thick/chewy and tough like many other times when we've had gai lan elsewhere...my fiancé isn't even a huge fan of gai lan but he loves this preparation of it at Zheng Chelsea Ohhh and definitely get the coconut rice, it's quite flavorful and complements most of the dishes on the menu quite well! The decor inside was spotless, nice comfy velvet chairs/booths and it was nice and quiet downstairs vs the much more lively (but also loud) upstairs part. And service was quite good and definitely way above average if compared to the usual Chinese restaurants

Several annoying and disappointing missteps added up to an overall bad experience. We accidentally made a reservation for 2 when there were 4 of us and the waiter was snippy about it, but the restaurant was empty. Food was fine, but incredibly expensive for what it was. We ordered the chicken satay and sweet and sour chicken and they upsold us on fried rice without telling us it was an additional 5 pounds (and, by the way, the portions were so small!). Edamame was 7 pounds and came with like 20 pods, which is insane, and we even found a small staple in the edamame (we should've gotten up and said something about it but we didn't want to cause a fuss). Finally, a waiter dropped some dishes and splashed sauce all over my friend's jacket. Spent 200 pounds on a small amount of food and one round of drinks. In summary, incredibly overpriced and ambience doesn't make up for it; definitely not worth going!

The perfect place for any occasion. This neighborhood friendly Malaysian restaurant has a cuisine that is sure to satisfy those looking for high end culinary dishes at an affordable price. Served with style: Asian chic, these dishes come family style, providing the perfect opportunity for everyone to try. This is what happens when a waiter has passion for food and dreams big and gets the backing to open his own place. If you want a memorable Asian eating experience, get out of Chinatown and check this place out. Good tempora starters, flavorful curry, and fresh takes on traditional desserts. Highly recommended for date night or family dinner.

Overall, Zheng provided a wonderful experience with good food and attentive service at an agreeable price. For appetizers, we ordered chili salt and pepper squid and chicken satay to start. The Chicken Satay was good, though not extraordinary, but the squid was definitely the highlight of the meal. For dinner we had Char Kuey Teow and Rendang Beef with coconut rice - the Rendang Beef was prepared well, but without flourish and was overall uninspiring. The Char Kuey Teow was very good - particularly the prawns and the sembal sauce - but was a bit over-sauced. The service was very attentive, but at times was overbearing - our conversation would be interrupted every few minutes by a waiter or waitress topping up our water, even when we had a bottle right on our table.

Good food - quick service. I just found the roti disappointing and the curry it was served with super oily. The Chinese was better than Malaysian. Still I'm glad it's around to provide a taste of Malaysia delicious hot and spicy.

Been here many times, and the quality of food has been stellar across a great variety of dishes!
