Little Four Seasons (Chinatown) Reviews Summary

Food Quality

Pros:

• "This is the best meat and rice in Chinatown."
• "The pork belly is also worth trying!"
• "The food was excellent and very authentic."
• "Hands down best I've tasted in London."
• "Flavor seeps into duck and chicken meat almost to the bone."
• "The famous roast duck was the best I’ve had anywhere."
• "The food was so delicious. Not too spicy but very filling and full of flavour."

Cons:

• "Food was ok, a lot of the dishes came out cold or luke warm."
• "An appalling experience. Over £50 for 2 mains, rice and noodles including £19 for a “fillet” steak in black peppercorn sauce. Inedible and chewy."
• "Food full of oil not pleasant."
• "The food was bland and tasteless. My Wonton soup tasted like dishwater."
• "One was okay (the pork belly), and one was terrible (the szechuan chicken)."
• "Their famous roast duck is tasteless and their hot and sour soup also felt watered down."
• "Food was nothing special, serving sizes tiny."

Service

Pros:

• "Service was quick, but no staff spoke to us really; they just showed up to take our order, but we didn't mind as it felt more casual that way."
• "Good food, good value, good service, what more can you ask."
• "We got a place very quickly even outside thanks to the friendly waiter. He checked in with us regularly even so it was super busy."

• "Service was good, food comes quickly and they speak English."
• "Service is quick and efficient."
• "Service was fast, staff were very friendly and the price was very reasonable."

Cons:

• "The service was a joke. The waiter and the waitress in this restaurant absolutely don't know what service is and they even have hard time to communicate with people."
• "The waitress was terrible, not smile, not explanation of the dishes, rude."
• "Service was very poor and slow."
• "Waitress was partially rude."
• "The services was extremely terrible."
• "The service was very abrupt."
• "Service and meal can feel a bit rushed."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "I was positively surprised to find a Chinese restaurant in the so touristic Chinatown with reasonable prices and nice food."
• "Rather reasonable pricing in my opinion."
• "Prices reasonable + good portions = good vfm."
• "The price was also very reasonable."
• "Food was delicious and worth every penny would highly recommend."
• "Prices are reasonable."
• "Very clean, they sterilize the table every time the clients leave."

Cons:

• "It's also not that cheap anymore, but that's London now right?"
• "Good service but disappointing hotpot. £65 for two people with individual prices for each add ons."
• "For poor service and rudeness we were charged £20 and to make matters worse two of us had severe diarrhoea a few hours later which demonstrates a poor grasp of hygiene standards."
• "Mostly I got small pieces of chicken with bones!! They also didn’t serve that much portion of chicken, most of the pot was filled with herbs.. not a good price to value."
• "It's also rather pricey and I think you're better off with some of the take away options around."
• "Came here feeling hungry and excited but left feeling like I’d been robbed. Very expensive!"
• "So so food for expensive prices, relative to the quality provided."

Atmosphere

Pros:

• "The environment is not fancy, but it is clean enough for me."
• "Authentic food, great service, lovely ambiance. 10/10"
• "You taste/feel the old Hong Kong here."
• "Lively and lovely."
• "It’s an authentic Chinese restaurant💯"
• "Served in a traditional Chinese setting, crowded and loud."
• "Cantonese restaurant that is perfect for big groups."

Cons:

• "Booking in advance is highly recommended as the place is very small and cramped."
• "Smallish restaurant with cramp seatings."
• "The service feels a bit rushed, and the restaurant a bit cramped but in my opinion, it's part of the hustle and bustle style and somehow adds to the experience."
• "The tables can be dirty when you sit down. The toilet is also a mess."
• "The interior of the restaurant, it's very cramp and claustrophobic oh and very outdated. (Badly in need of a major facelift)"
• "The space was crammed to fit more people in which ended in me getting whacked in the back of the head from passing wait staff."
• "The place was dirty and there were flies everywhere!"
