Hyde Park is Queensway home to a host of excellent Chinese
restaurants. Among our favourites are:
Four Seasons (84 Queenway) which serves the best roast
duck in London. There is often a wait for tables at
peak dining times but once seated the waiters are friendly
and helpful.
Even if you book a table at The Mandarin Kitchen (14-16
Queensway) you will often have to wait but it will be
worth it for the lobster noodles with ginger and spring
onions. The seafood here is so good that the London's
Cantonese flock here for seafood feasts.
If its Dim Sum you want then there is no better place
than Royal China (13 Queensway) . At Kam Tong (59 Queensway)
you get good food and very friendly waiters who make
the meal a very enjoyable experience.

Malaysian food and is often crowded with not only the
locals but the Malaysian community and its students. Fish & Chips
