Orient London

The classic elegance of Orient London provides a sleek counterpoint to the colourful, vibrant buzz of the Chinatown quarter. With dark wood furnishings, interplay between light and dark decor and gold highlights, the restaurant adds a touch of sophistication to the familiar, comforting Chinese fare on offer.

Orient London, a family-run Chinatown mainstay, boasts an extensive and exhaustive menu of Cantonese and Sichuan specialties, beginning with cold and hot appetisers such as shredded chicken with jellyfish & cucumber, marinated spicy baby octopus and fried soft-shell crab with chilli & pepper. You can then work your way through soup dishes such as wonton soup or minced beef broth, followed by an array of seafood, meat and vegetable mains. These range from whole fish and deep-fried prawn to roast duck, emperor chicken, crispy shredded beef with carrots & scallions, steamed pork belly with salted fish, deep-fried tofu with sweet & sour sauce and more. You can also sample hot pots and different noodle or rice specialties at Orient London.

The restaurant is well-known for the emphasis it places on seafood, as well as its considerable offer of dim sum, for example sesame prawn on toast, spring rolls, satay skewers and more. The drinks menu might not be comparable to the food menu when it comes to size, but it still offers a concise selection of wine and oriental spirits, as well as Chinese tea.
