Confucius

The old chef is back, Happy days! The restaurant design and décor have taken a hit, but food is back to it's best, with some slight changes. Very good.

We have recently visited this restaurant with three Chinese friends. The chef must have changed since the last review - the food was sensational!

We have eaten in some of the top Chinese restaurant's in London, including Ken Hom's Memories of China some years ago. This was by far the very best we have eaten in. The service was good too. The food was fresh, the aromas delicious and each dish delicately produced and well received by all of us. We were in Wimbledon on business but we would certainly make a special journey to this restauranti n the future.

I have always been pro Confucius, and know my way round the menu to avoid the less savoury dishes.

Unfortunately the chef has moved across the road to Confucius 2, and the replacement chef along with the food is well below takeaway par.

The menus have changed and gone up in price, the walls have been painted and the cutlery updated, unfortunately they forgot to upgrade the food.

Will not be going back to a place I have used for 15 years.

Will try Confucius 2

We were intrigued by the wide range of opinions and decided to eat here last Friday evening.

The decoration is ok, nothing special, but acceptable. The welcome and the service was very good. The wine list was fine and very cheap - £15 for a bottle of Sancerre is off-license price.

So overall, not bad at all.....except the food. We wondered about Charles who gave 0/10 for the food. We think that is a bit harsh. We liked the seaweed, so we'll give the food 1/10. The two main problems were the ingredients - poor quality - and the cooking - mostly bland.

Don't go here unless you just want to drink and look at the food.

As with most Chinese restaurants in London, I would only go for the Dim Sum.

This is excellent quality and much more pleasant than going to Chinatown.

I would recommend the lunchtime Dim Sum menu, but would agree with some of the other reviews regarding the evening food. have to admit that I've not had decent evening food at any restaurant in London.
