Tai Ka Lok

I ve been living in London one year and an half and since i discover it I went there once a week. I m from Italy and now living in Spain and I ve not been able to find an other good one as this. every time I come back to London I try to have at least one meal in my favourite chines restourant. the staff at the beginning is a bit ¨cold¨

but as soon as they start to know you they ar really efficient. try the special fried rice, every kind of dumplings and duck

Brilliant food; actually, friendly staff, too. I am a regular visitor I can't imagine what should happen if my habits of going there about every week should change. I'd trade everything for that roast duck cantonese, and encourage you to see for yourself. There is a sign about this duck reading "once eaten never forgotten". Couldn't be more true.

I lived in London for 9 months and ate here every week. I still daydream

about the pork dumplings and the especially the duck. I ordered the same thing every time, so after a while, the waiters would just bring me my usual order without my having to ask!

Good prices here, and the location is good. It's supposedly a Chinatown establishment, but doesn't win brownie points for cleanliness and atmosphere - a decorator would have a field day here.

Duck - good, although lately more fatty.

Green tea - nothing to shout home about. They call it jasmine but it's not of the highest quality.

Service - unsmiling. Want to feel like a battery hen? Welcome to some of the waiters which work here.

Only cash and/or cheques. If you don't have cash, the waiter directs you to the closest cash machine.

Value for money? Two dishes (pork + cashew nut and duck + two teas + 2 bowls of rice cost us £30)

Good food, but you should note that payment is by cash or cheque only.
