The baked prawn with rice in lotus leaf sealed all the lovely herbal and earthy taste flavours from the lotus leaf, the rice itself had a silky texture and it was another well made Chinese classic.
The house special lobster cooked with spring onion and ginger had a wonderful aroma, the spices level was just right and really enhanced the tender texture of the lobster meat with the noodle absorbing all the lovely flavours of the lobster. It had a powerful richness and punch from the rice wine and it worked so well with the sweet and soft crab meat. This was followed by a quality steamed crab, cooked in Chinese rice wine and glass noodles.
We kicked off the dinner with some giant steamed razor clams, the dressing of the soy sauces and the dash of chili went great with the smooth texture of the razor clam, the only problem was the clam still had some sand inside which meant it wasn't prepared properly. Chinese value seafood as a luxury and usually are the most expensive items on the menu in most Chinese restaurants, it has been a long time since I had a seafood feast in London so I was very excited when Mandarin Kitchen came into my knowledge as quality Chinese seafood is a rarity in London. If you’re planning to travel to London and you’re looking for London must eats - make a beeline for this restaurant (and book beforehand) Paying customer and this time, I wanted to film the experience! 🥰 WHAT I ORDERED: - Steamed king scallops in garlic and soy sauce £8.80 each (this was a touch over steamed on the day and would’ve liked it with vermicelli) - Lobster in ginger and spring onion sauce (seasonal price and it was £48 that served 4 people) - Soft noodles for the lobster £12 - Sweet and sour king prawns £15.90 - Stir fried water spinach w/ garlic £12.90 - Fragrant garlic fried rice £4.80 - Chinese tea £1.Located in Queensway, the unofficial second China Town in London, Mandarin Kitchen is considered one of the best Chinese restaurants in London and it is famous for its Chinese style seafood. One of my favourite restaurants for special occasions and family meals. The restaurant also serves a selection of regional Chinese dishes including seafood, meat and vegetarian options. Juicy, fresh, succulent and so delicious – it’ll leave you licking your fingers, plate and the shell. The prices are seasonal – and on this day, it was £48 for the lobster, £12 for the soft noodles and it was worth it. The best lobster noodles in London 🦞🍜 Save this as your next London restaurant to visit! Claimed as the creator of this popular Cantonese dish in 1978, Mandarin Kitchen serves it up in 8 different ways but I’d recommend their signature ginger and spring onion sauce. ☑️ Overall, highly recommend!
