Yming

I decided on this restaurant after reading the reviews here which seemed unnaturally perfect and I was not disappointed. Seven of us went there for a 21st birthday meal a few weeks back.The staff were very friendly, informal and funny and took the time to explain a few different dishes that we enquired about. The service was great and we did not get rushed along at all. Even if there are more than six going for the meal you still have choice - to choose from the set menus £26 or £35 or the individuals dishes from the actual menu, so it was perfect pricewise too. You will definately enjoy yourself here!

My favourite Chinese restaurant in London, bar none. The menu is varied and a million miles away from the fare offered in the tourist traps of Chinatown. Friendly, unpretentious and welcoming. The owner makes you feel as if you're always remembered even though I'm sure it can't be so!

We have been going to YMING for many years now and it is as good now as it was when we first went. Food excellent and the staff very friendly and warm. We wil be back in London in March and as soon as we drop our cases off at the hotel we will start our break as usual at YMING with good food and a bottle of Chablis.

I'm Malaysian Chinese and have been a regular at Yming for years. It really is the taste of home. The double braised belly pork in particular is as good as my grandma makes back home (sorry grandma!). We always recommend this restaurant to anybody who asks us where to get authentic Chinese food.

I was attracted to this restaurant after reading the reviews on this site, and it more than lived up to expectations. The meal was after a day out in London to treat my sister on a special birthday. The staff were very friendly and attentive, the food was excellent, and the whole experience was very memorable. Totally recommended. I will be telling all my friends, family and work colleagues to go there!

Ymings rocks, it has become a real staple for me and my foodie husband, so much so that the staff now greet me by my first name....not always the case in London, nevermind Soho.

Works for all; veggie and meat heads..

Go!

Not sure what the review commenting on no Chinese people eating at YMning is talking about...every time I have gone it has been packed...mostly with Chinese enjoying a reasonably priced,excellent menu that is cooked to perfection and served with speed and always a smile and good humour. Fantastic - go there and try it yourself :)

A group of Filipino friends finding solace in the usual; Chinese Food with rice. Lo and behold, not only did we get to taste rice again in this foreign land but also find the food very, very delicious.

Having grown up with Chinese fares, finding one in this beautiful city was a surprise and one that presented dishes not quite common for us at least, such as using lambs.

Do try they're Sesame Prawn Toast. The staff provide excellent service and made us travellers feel quite at home.

Yming continues to serve wonderful chinese food with attentive service from friendly and helpful staff. There may well be better but we have yet to find it in the West End and we are choosy and quite difficult to please. There are so many places in central London ready to take your money and provide a rubbish product/service that it's a delight to find a gem like Yming amongst the dross. Long may it thrive!!

If any of the very occasional critics of Yming can suggest better then I defy you to do so!
