Agree that Wong Kei is not that good, but really there are so many good chinese restaurants around London. You just need to look carefully. I noted that u did comment that you don't like Yauatcha, but my recent experience there is really good.
Well we can agree to disagree. But many will agree with me that when it comes to Chinese restaurants, there is no way in the world London can compete with Vancouver. Not even close.
I have sampled many myself and has been invited to many as well by others and I can come to the conclusion that London is one of the worst cities to dine Chinese cuisine. The Abalone at Yauatcha has got to be one of the most bland, tasteless, and greasy piece of dish I have ever had. Same can be said for their Dim Sum.
Don't get me wrong, London has some of the best restaurants a city can house. But their Chinese dining is no where near top notch. I basically have given up eating Chinese here especially when there are many other better restaurants serving other cuisines to choose from.
Those London Chinese restaurant lovers can continue to patronize, but I'll be happy to stay away from them.
