I have booked to take the missus to see a show for Valentines, and we are staying in a hotel in central London, now I have just noticed that it's the Chinese new year on the same day. (13th Feb)

So, I thought that would be the place to be for the Saturday night entertainment, however I think it might be prudent to book a restaurant rather than try to wing it on the night.

So, if anyone has any recommendations then that would be great.

 

Id try to keep out of China Town in Soho: Ive never had a decent meal there. China Town in Manchester, on the other hand.....

 

New World, 1 Gerrard Place London W1D 5PA - Chinese Restaurant in London

the New World. The best by head and shoulders, is always packed with Chinese which is a good recommendation.

I wouldn't go anywhere else.

Chop

 

Ditto!

 

Tourist trap. Pick one you like the look of, as that's as good a guide as any, but you're not guaranteed good food. It's like Brick Lane now, i reckon they all buy from the same suppliers. Pack 'em in, feed 'em cheap, find more punters for the next sitting. Not the best gastronomic experience.
