Chop Chop by Four Seasons

Located at the Hippodrome Casino and operated by Chinatown's renowned Four Seasons restaurant group, Chop Chop is a stylish Central London retreat where you can enjoy authentic Chinese food late into the night.

Tucked away on the lower ground floor of the landmark Leicester Square casino, Chop Chop features a designer interior inspired by 1960s Hong Kong, with seating options ranging from high counters to intimate booths and neon decor adding to the night-time atmosphere. Between the stylish furnishings and relaxing ambiance, Chop Chop offers a somewhat less hectic dining experience than your typical Chinatown haunt, but the food is right up there as far as flavour and authenticity are concerned.

Run by Four Seasons, one of London's pre-eminent Chinese restaurant groups, Chop Chop offers a comprehensive overview of the Cantonese cuisine that has become such a favourite all over the world. The signature Four Seasons roast duck, praised for its crispy golden skin and secret blend of herbs and spices, is the star of the show here, but there are plenty of other tempting options to choose from – house specials like char siu BBQ pork and black pepper lobster, different noodle dishes, dim sum dumplings, and more, with vegetarian and vegan diners well taken care of as well. Drink options include fine wines, beers, Chinese teas, and intriguing cocktails.

Whether you're taking a break from the entertainment above, stopping by before catching a West End show, or dropping in for a late-night treat, Chop Chop at the Hippodrome is sure to hit the spot.
