An amazing place to dine. The food is superb, the service is lovely, they aim to please, (and I'm telling you the do every time!!) And I always get value my money.

Which is a good thing seeing as my family's eyes are almost as big as our stomachs, so we end up with a table covered with lots of plates holding a variety of culinary treats! And in the rare cases that we don't manage to finish our order, they are more than happy to put in a doggy bag so you can have it for breakfast (ok that might just be my family).

But to some up, once you go to Water Margin you'll be hard pressed to find anywhere even close to this little gem.

After reading all the comments on here I decided to book a table for myself and my family for the day after Boxing Day. I have to say that after visiting here I shall not be spending time and money going to Chinatown as often for meals. I arrived well before the time I had booked and watched numerous happy people enter and leave the restaurant either as diners or those who popped in for a quick takeaway and most of these people were Chinese which I took to be a good sign. The food here is the best I and my family have sampled in a long time, the service was prompt and extremely courteous and the price astonishing A definite value for money little gem in North London

Water Margin is certainly one of the most delicious Chinese restaurants in London, even more so than the more expensive locations in China Town.

Although the place is slightly dated in apperance, and may not have the most upbeat atmosphere, it basks in glory of some of the most delectable food I've ever tasted. From regular dishes - duck, pork, chicken and a heap of boiled rice to the more specialty creations - it's always a treat to eat, and even more so your wallet!

Whether it's for a quick takeaway in the evening, or for a family night out, Water Margin has given some me some of the best meals to date. Have been going there all 21 years of my life, and won't stop any time soon!

Definitely one of the rare treats of Golders Green.

Agree with the comments this is a top restaurant 10/10 . The lunch at £5.50 for two courses is a bargain.

I love the Water Margin - great menu, great service. Everything I've tried I've enjoyed. Could be a tiny bit less salty but that's the Chinese way. Book a table downstairs if you can - the decor upstairs is a little tired.

The best Chinese food in London. Ever! The food is consistently excellent, the staff pleasant and the price fair. The restaurant is always full of Chinese people, which to me is an excellent indicator of authenticity. We often try other restaurants in the local area but always come back here.

Eating at the water margin is like finding a magical lamp, which makes you immortal. Everytime I go it is a life-changing experience that I never forget. The black bean sauce is unparalleled as one of the world's most delicious nectar's. When i look back on my life, I can say with confidence that eating at the water margin is the best experience I have ever had. talking to the staff is like connecting with spiritual beings. Praise be to the chef, peace.

I have been going to this restaurant for my entire life... i am 23 and half chinese, my family; (immediate and extended) have been going there for over 30 years. It is in my opinion the best chinese restaurant in London only rivalled by Mayflower in China Town.
