Nice Cantonese dim sum bistro provides authentic Hong Kong style cuisine. Owner is Hong Konger and he is really keen on maintaining the food quality. Dim sum and stir-fried food are cooked upon ordering.
It is one of best restaurants we tasted in London. We enjoyed our dinner with nice staff and great service. Recommend to order Fish maw sweetcorn soup and sweet sour spare ribs.
I recently visited this Chinese restaurant and had a wonderful experience from start to finish. The standout dish was unquestionably the duck—tender, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, especially when helping to keep my 14-month-old daughter comfortable and happy. I also appreciated how quickly the food arrived, making the visit seamless even with a toddler in tow. The prices were very reasonable. Overall, I would highly recommend this spot for anyone looking to enjoy delicious Chinese cuisine in a welcoming and family-friendly atmosphere.
I have visited Chu Chin Chow several times for Cantonese-style noodles and have never been disappointed. I came here again today to give their Cantonese-style dinner a try. Food is excellent. Not to mention the fantastic service from the manager, Alex. He is very welcoming and knows the menu very well. Highly recommend煎釀三寶, 梅菜扣肉煲 & 蒜蓉扒豆苗. We will definitely try more seafood dishes next time.
A real gem close by Hampton Court Station! We came here for dinner after visiting the palace. Authentic Hong Kong flavor and very delicious. The pots are still bubbling when served. You can feel and smell the ‘wok hei’ of the dishes. The team is very friendly too! Will definitely return to try other dishes
We went to Chu Chin Chow to celebrate a friend’s birthday and had such a lovely time! The atmosphere was cosy and welcoming, and the staff were friendly and attentive throughout. We ordered steamed fish, scallops, soy sauce chicken, some delicious dishes, and dessert — everything was full of flavour and beautifully prepared. The fish was fresh and perfectly cooked, the scallops were tender and tasty, and the soy sauce chicken was juicy and full of flavour. What made the evening even more special was the surprise the staff arranged for our birthday friend — they brought out a scoop of ice cream beautifully presented as a birthday cake, complete with a candle for her to blow out, and even played the birthday song. It was such a thoughtful and heartwarming gesture that really made our celebration extra memorable. To top it off, they kindly gave us a big bowl of red bean soup as a gift. We had actually ordered it, but they offered it to us as a treat for the birthday celebration, which was such a lovely surprise. We were all really happy with the meal and the whole experience. Highly recommend Chu Chin Chow for a special occasion or a nice dinner out with friends!
I’ve been coming to Chu Chin Chow for a while now, and every visit is an absolute delight. The food is exquisite, offering some of the best authentic Cantonese cuisine you can find. The Hong Kong menu is a personal favourite, featuring incredible dishes like aubergine with mince and beef with enoki mushroom – both are to die for! Beyond the food, the service is consistently excellent, with warm and welcoming hospitality that makes you feel right at home. The atmosphere is always inviting, and the facilities are immaculately clean, adding to the overall experience. If you’re looking for a place that delivers on flavour, service, and authenticity, this is it. I’ll always be coming back!
We had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. You can immediately tell the food is prepared with care and authenticity. The highlight for us was the dim sum – it's all homemade, and you can truly taste the difference. Each piece was fresh, flavourful, and delicious. On top of the fantastic food, the service was excellent. The staff were very friendly and attentive, making us feel welcome throughout our meal. If you're looking for genuine Chinese cuisine that tastes like it's straight from a home kitchen, you have to give this place a try. We will definitely be back!
