Went to Min Jiang restaurant last night for my birthday meal. We had the Beijing duck which again met all our expectations. We also had the Dim Sum platter which we feel match or exceed other dishes of this type we have experienced on our various dining experiences. The service was very attentive and there was also a very good atmosphere in the restaurant. The view over London with the lights from the Hyde Park fairground adding to the Vista. Given that we were dining in a 5-Star hotel, the bill came out at less that what we were expecting. Have been there on several occasions and will definately go back.

Went there for lunch last month, food was good. Service was bit rigid and unfriendly. Good view though.

Really disappointed with this restaurant. We went for dim sum one quiet weekday lunch time. Service rigid and unfriendly. We were refused a window table despite there being many available. During our entire meal, no new diners came in and those tables remained vacant. I have been to many, much better Chinese restaurants in terms of taste and value for money. At this restaurant, you are only paying for the view of the park (not the food) which is limited when you are not next to the window.

The view is simply amazing. Food good but nothing to die for. Service inconsistent... Some of the staff didn't make you feel like you wanted to be their best friend, let's say.
I will go back for drinks, and to enjoy the view.

AMAZING views over Hyde Park. This is definitely a place to impress your guests. Service was good and the place was nicely busy on a weeknight.
Highlights include the authentic & slightly sticky pancakes for their famous peking duck- unlike the mass produced ones for crispy duck in Chinatown, and the crabs are not bad either.
But beware of the heavy dose of MSG and the high prices (easily £50 per head without wine)

Just come back from a dim sum blow out at Min Jiang and our considered opinion is, it was good but not great. The only stand out was the crispy duck rolls and everything else was on the good side of average. Beautiful view obviously, and lovely service but our usual dim sum venue, Dragon Castle in deepest Walworth, can still hold its head high. We saw a lot of people ordering the whole duck though so we're going to return to try that soon.

Min Jiang has one of the best views of London. It also serves some of the best Peking Duck in the City. It should be a very good place to dine. But sadly it is very badly let down by the service. The staff had the rushed, discourteous manner of a much lesser restaurant and the tone with which the restaurant manager dealt with the problems which arose was especially unattractive. Avoid.
